GH50: January 2014 Discussion - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[Cheap21]

I HATE how clever Heather thinks she is. Her ego makes me want to scream and those monologues are so annoying. I preferred Obrecht bc at least she was good for funny dialogue and lines. This Heather is just so unappealing

[ChitHappens]

I don't need any wacky villains! Dr. O can stay gone, Jerry can stay gone, Stavros can stay gone, Faison can stay gone, and I'm sure soon I will be saying "Victor can stay gone".

[PJA]

I can't even watch her scenes without thinking how badly written everything about her is. Theres nothing believable about any of this storyline,

[ChitHappens]

The SL is certainly lacking, but I enjoyed yesterday. I can't wait to see Anna and ChiaScott today. As for Heather, she is a clown that can go at any time. However, this is the first time I've enjoyed her because she so cleverly stupid not to see the flaw in her reasoning. In some of her scenes, Heather actually feels wronged by Franco. I think she would have been fine with the attempted murder if FrankenTodd had not done it for Carly's sake.

[PJA]

Its so funny how different viewers perspectives are. The Jeromes story was the one that kept me interested today.

LMAO @ chiascott.

[ChitHappens]

When I saw the pics Cheap posted yesterday, I was ready to get home, watch and roast FrankenRon, but I found myself actually enjoying it. I was smiling at some of the things Sonny said to FrankenTodd, and then I was kind of feeling FrankenTodd for the first time. I loved the visual of the detectives' theory. Flawed? Absolutely! But it was pretty clever and enjoyable.

The Jerome Sisters bug the !@#$%^&*] out of me and I need at least one gone, preferably Jillian!

[Cheap21]

since we're on the subject, can we talk about how dumb it is that she has Carly at the Q boathouse. Is there no staff working the grounds? It's ridiculous that she keeps going on the estate unnoticed. It would have made more sense and been less contrived had she taken Carly to an abandoned place in the woods. This screams of them just needing an excuse to use the set

[ChitHappens]

What really gets me is that Monica and AJ talk about the raccoon problem and they have not hired someone to make certain this very destructive raccoon doesn't ruin the boathouse. After those noises, exactly when do you bring someone in?

And really? The Q estate has no cameras or did Heather manipulate those too?

[cassadine1991]

Don't forget the poor restraints Heather has Carly in, her legs are free, looks like her hands could easily get free and with them in front of her she could remove that gag

[reallyhateskateonlost]

So no one is missing Heather, there are no bed checks.

[ChitHappens]

Lol. I am so going to go look up that eppy!

Thursday:

Lulu and Nathan continued to be mind-numbing. "I can't wait to find out what amazing clues you've uncovered." What the hell kind of line is that? Who speaks that way? It was great to see Bobbie once more and have her realize that it's time to call Lucas. Looking forward to him!

I didn’t expect Sonny to be in Franco’s room, so it was a nice little surprise. I thought both actors were much more restrained than I expected but RH was insufferable when he went into that small voice and talked about loving a woman. Still, at least they tried to give Franco some legitimate inner life/feelings/thoughts. And LMAO at Sonny's "you’re gonna be screamiiiiiiiiiing." What the hell kind of line delivery is that?

Unless I'm forgetting some prior event, Julian putting the pieces together and figuring out that Lucas is his son was such a non-event, such a horrid anticlimax. You'd think they would at least try to get some juice out of it instead of simply having Julian say he found out the truth. BUT I did think the scenes that dealt with Julian and Ava's father were great. It gave them a human touch and something seemed to click. Interesting that Julian mentioned Lavery and his lunatic sister. How long before they all come to town?

Ava had some funny lines:

Julian: "Do I look like a cop?"

Ava: "No, you’re much better dressed!"

Ava: "Sea turtles make better fathers than Victor Jerome"

I thought the whole theory flashbacks/actual flashbacks thing was a great idea, in THEORY. In execution... not so much. I liked the fact that they had Heather put the pieces together & that we saw characters on the show that work on law enforcement actually do police work. I also liked that Anna wasn't 100% sold. But the acting, production & direction were such a let down. First of all, I recall the side of Carly's car being clean when Heather got out of it. Is that right? That means Heather parked Carly's car and, while Dante, Morgan and Michael were right there, she smeared blood on the side of the car and threw the knife in the trash can and still almost got caught and... oh my. I’m glad they tried to explain where the knife came from but the scenes of Franco stabbing Carly were so unbelievably badly done. At one point, Franco looked like he had stabbed Carly's shoulder?

Heather had her moments, though: "Poor Franco? Poor ME!" And there was a small stretch towards the end were RM got to play some genuine, straight darkness before going back to camp and it was exciting.

[PJA]

Oh yeah Franco and Sonny's scenes were good as well. Franco was more toned down than normal but still assertive.

[PJA]

Exactly and that's just one of the many problems with this storyline.

[Antoyne]

Watching these Sonny/Franco scenes and I must say they're actually not bad. Whomever was directing that day needs to tell Mo and Howarth to always tone it down. Probably the first scenes I've enjoyed out of either of them in ages.
