January 26, 201412 yr Member Felix annoys the crap out of me as well. As for Brad, I don't think the early writing for him was all that great, but I like him. A lot has to do with the actor, and Brad reminds me a lot of Kyle from OLTL. Both started out as shady as lab techs with not the best writing, then became "reformed" along the way. To me, I like gay characters that aren't "saints". Will and Sonny on DAYS bore me to tears, because DAYS rarely ever writes them as doing anything wrong and seem so "perfect". Gay characters on soaps should cheat, have ONS, lie, etc just like the straight characters do. Ron's writing might not be perfect, but I like that he writes his gay characters with flaws. As of now, I'll take Lucas and Brad on GH over Will and Sonny on DAYS any day. Other than Brad, when he was written as a heel, I can't say that he does. Felix is just as saintly as anyone at DAYS. So were Kyle and Fish in no time at all. The only time gay men on his shows are written with flaws is when they exist solely as one-note plot points, like early Brad, or Nick on OLTL.
January 26, 201412 yr Member The episode where FV was the judge wasnt his comment something to the effect of "Me Likey" when he saw Mikey Jerome? LOL...I dont recall...what I do remember is Frank taking a deep breath and his eyes popped out....lol.....boner city...lol

January 27, 201412 yr Member I wish those episodes were on Youtube. I could swear he said that He might have but I dont recall. I just remember how Frank reacted to Mikey shirtless.

Morgan's next storyline? bwhahahaha..but he has too much clothes on...lol
January 27, 201412 yr Member Here's the clip of various actors in that season doing their love scene (so awful...and yet still better than most of the acting currently on GH). Valentini isn't shown so I guess his reaction must have been at another point. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5vNIFvpqmjQ If any of you are Mikey Jerome fans, apparently he's on Youtube and he loves talking to the camera.

January 27, 201412 yr Member I took the Brad/Lucas stuff surprisingly well LOVED that Lucy slept with Scott again, had that nice little monologue & Mac showed up and punched Scott. OMG OMG OMG I would die if the Silas Clay that got that prescription was an evil twin Please shut up. DEAD I saw a hilarious facebook comment where someone said they were upset because they thought yesterday's episode was a rerun because they swore they had already seen those exact same mob scenes on the pier already. These scenes really are the same crap over and over. :lol: Yes.

I don't think there are good enough writers on any soap nowadays who can ever create a scheming, up to no good, flawed and semi-ruthless characters who is fleshed out well and is able to anyone their perspective Edited January 27, 201412 yr by cassadine1991
January 27, 201412 yr Author Member I don't think there are good enough writers who can ever create a scheming, up to no good, flawed and semi-ruthless gay or bisexual character who is fleshed out well and is able to anyone their perspective Why should a gay character be fleshed out, semi-ruthless, flawed when the straight characters are not getting that type of story? What's so special about the gay characters that they would get better writing than the rest? GH currently have 3 gay characters who share in the schlock. What's the problem? Bottom line, Brad, Lucas and Felix are no worse off than anyone else on this show! GH is lacking period!

I don't mean JUST GH, but in general, I should've reworded it GH all together, is a complete and utter disaster, I don't think it will ever get better unless this current regime gets a total overhaul or they get replaced by better writers Edited January 27, 201412 yr by cassadine1991
