GH50: January 2014 Discussion - HAPPY NEW YEAR!

[SFK]

Who is the other boy? I know Spencer is Nikolas' son and Emma is Robin and Patrick's. BTW, Nikolas looks so uncomfortable in his clothes, like they are too damn tight. He's looking more and more like a Sonny who's about to explode.

[Vee]

If he roids out again like he did in the last four or five years of his previous run I'm done with him. Again.

The Stepford kid is the unfortunate new Cameron, Liz's oldest (with Zander Smith, but Lucky raised him).

[Vee]

I can't believe I just watched an hour of Robin Mattson threatening third graders with the [!@#$%^&*] chupacabra.

[KMan101]

I didn't mind the kids, honestly. I know, stone me. It was a total waste of time, but most of Ron's GH is starting to be.

I never thought I'd be sick of Robin Mattson either, as much as I love her and she's doing what she can to make this crap work. And at least Carly is fighting, but still, she now, AGAIN, can't scream with that piss poor "gag" on. Seriously?

I'm surprised it took so long for Ron to make Kaka and Franco completely into Todd and Starr and I'd say he just about did it. Yuck to these two. I'd rather watch Silas.

Only nice thing I'll say about the ludicrous Dr. O as COS (gee, another character I'm sick of. Thanks Ron. I used to really like her. Now I'm sick of her too) is her putting Felix (who learned nothing from Brad's dressing down, I see) and Sabrina in their place. And the writing is doing Liz no favors. I used to look forward to the rare Liz sighting (even if it was wasted on that useless Sabrina) but now the character ... sigh.

I also can't take anymore of WDV. He's become so awful. I remember he used to actually be a decent actor? Or was I imagining that? GH brings out the worst in their actors. Well, maybe Frank Valentini does. (I know he wasn't on Wed, but of course the Jerome Sisters are back today.) I will say I think Maura looks 1000000x better with the new haircut in the previews. I forgot this isn't DAYS where a new hairdo takes 9 months to show up.

Cameron/Spencer/Emma in a love triangle is stupid, but seriously guys, it's harmeless, just laugh at it. Is it that big of a deal? And the only reason there's a "triangle" is so Ron can use that as why

He is nothing if not obvious. Spencer is exactly how I'd figured Nikolas' son would act. Emma's also far more tolerable when not drinking the Sabrina kool-aid. Cameron's a bore but at this point so is his mother.

[Vee]

Why the !@#$%^&*] would Emma stay in town because two little boys have a crush on her? She's like seven!

[DRW50]

I don't believe Nik's son would be this way. Nik was never like that as far as we know, when he was a child. Leslie, who raised Spencer, along with various nannies, would never let a child be that way.

It's a cliched, lame parody of a rich kid, like something out of Problem Child.

I feel uncomfortable watching these children forced to act like adults.

[KMan101]

You don't see Emma whining about leaving her "men"? It's lame, but it's also Ron. Why else are we being subjected to this crap then? I wonder if he's seen DAYS cleverly using the kids on their show and is trying to do the same.

[Vee]

I don't think they're acting like adults; I've seen this kind of schtick on plenty of family sitcoms for decades. I think it's just too much to give them when sure, they're sweet but can barely act and are way too cloying when given too much material, especially Emma. Same thing with Spencer; I don't mind spoiled Spencer in doses, but the kid, while he has a lot of personality and is amusing, can barely deliver lines and after about two minutes I need a break. Again, GH is not a sitcom, no matter how much it sometimes tries to be. You don't need Emma, Spencer and Cameron's antics to be the B-story on a Wednesday. And sure, it might not hurt to show Lesley or even the phantom Laura turn up to put Spencer in his place.

I couldn't believe how abruptly they shoved those lines about Robin NOT HAVING PTSD REPEAT SHE DOES NOT HAVE PTSD STOP ASKING ABOUT WHAT ROBIN WENT THROUGH ON TWITTER ASSHOLES into the scene at the PCPD about Obrecht. It was nice three or four years ago when Ron would quickly respond to fan feedback in scripts, and occasionally it still is appropriate today - like when they doubled back to make sure people knew Sean Donely was okay after an abrupt line deletion several weeks before - but when you're basically carrying over passive-aggressive bitchfests with the audience on Twitter into the scripts, it needs to stop.

[PJA]

Actually she's wrong because she said Britt helped her mother get the COS job which she didn't.

[Dr Neil Curtis]

I was so hoping the COS would be Lesley or Lucas Jones

[Cheap21]

Lucas isn't even a doctor and Lesly hasn't practiced in decades

[ChitHappens]

Why do you want to be all logical and sh!t? The current COS is an international terrorist!

#PETSb4VETS

[cuzIsaySo]

At this point what really keeps me watching is brad, lucas and i have a haunch that i might like where the Nina Clay storyline is heading (im assuming it is a spoiler so i wont mention much).

I think dr O as COS is ridiculous but some good stuff may come out of it.

But other than that watching gh is slowly becoming a chore

[All My Shadows]

I'm watching this sh!t to give it a fair chance because I've done as much for the other soaps.

Ryan Carnes and William deVry are looking DELICIOUS. Jesus Christ.

The rest of the show is just so beyond my realm of interest, as always. One of these days I just have to accept that GH is not my soap.

[John]

I was hoping that we would see the Brad/Lucas hook up. I hope we get flashbacks but I feel we will be TOLD what went down and Im not sure of that kiss yet
