Some of these are really WTF worthy.

"General Hospital" -- On Thursday, February 13, Friday, February 14 and Monday, February 17, it's Valentine's Day in Port Charles and along with the romantic holiday, there will be joy as well as pain. There is joy for the reconciled Dante & Lulu as well as for Felix, when Lucas accepts his invitation to go out on Valentine's Day. Britt is delighted when the young Spencer gives her a Valentine and Nikolas tells a curious Britt they're going on a Valentines mission. But the day brings pain to a suspicious Liz as she awaits Baby Ben's paternity results. Julian is thrown by Ava's sneaky actions, and Michael and Kiki end up in a bruising argument. As Valentine's Day continues, Duke's attempt to reconcile with Anna over their conflicting work ethics leads to a passionate solution. Things heat up during Molly and TJ's study-date, but she wants to make their first time together a special moment. After Sonny warns Ava she had better not be double-crossing him, she and Morgan have planned a clandestine evening together. Meanwhile, Britt's fairy tale romance may be about to crumble into pieces when Liz threatens her. That night, Nikolas has the ultimate Valentine's Day surprise for Britt, despite the confession she knows she must make. Liz grapples with her feelings for her true love. Meanwhile, as Franco fights for his life, will he wake up and be reunited with the love of his life?

Lucas and Felix already?! What the actual f-ck? Nik is Liz's true love? What?

New medianet photos. Guess I'll just put them here. Do not even try to tell me they're going to attempt something with Nathan and f-cking Keku.

Wow dtv West is really that desperate to expose silas as a wanna be killer if he goes there.

The basic story of a cop seducing his mark's daughter to get info to use against them would be interesting if said daughter wasnt played by KA and had the personality of a tuna sandwich

Seriously, this is all they can come up with for Liz? Panting so hard over a guy she rejected for another guy that she's positively thirsty for dirt on the new girlfriend?

On the other hand, no Sabrinella on Valentine's Day is a good thing.

They aren't being given the same treatment though. There are a handful of gay characters on the show, all thrown together for no other reason than because they are gay, and apparently that means interchangeable rutting.

If Luke was rutting with Liz and Britt, solely because he's straight and so are they, then it would be the same treatment. But since straight characters populate most of GH, the show gives more options.

Then, that's going to be an issue, until more gay characters are introduced on the show.

Folks will complain if the gay characters have no love lives or have no chance to be written as sexual beings.

Folks will complain when the gay characters do have love lives and are written as sexual beings.

We have to give these writers a chance and see if they're invested in wanting to do more for these characters. Instead of viewers seeming them as just quotas of having them just be in the background and only featured once a month.

I see what you're saying, but between stories about how gay bashing is a great way to keep a man, and how gay men love to put the moves on straight rape victims, it's tough for me to give Ron Carlivati chances at this point.

AMEN!!!

Bu then wouldnt the entire canvas be subjected to that kind of scrutinity?

A character is supposed to act a certain way and if they happen to be a minority so be it.

I dont like shawn and what hes doing but it has nothing to do with his skin color. I think sabrina is an annoying twit with the moral fiber and the maturity of justin bieber but it doesnt speak of the way i view puerti ricans.

Felix is an overbearing busydody but he would be the same way if he wanted to get into a girls pants.

Limiting characters actions based on the fact that theyre minorities will only further the lack of presence on screen of such minorities.

I would love to see an evil deaf tranny from india just becuz this would just be totally out of the box.

doesnt mean next time a transexual character would be on i would assume theyre evil or death or indian.

If straight characters were a minority, yes.

There's a reason that the biggest [!@#$%^&*] around gets GLAAD awards (including Ron's OLTL material). Pickings are slim. So when the material is trash, it stands out more, because there is so little else around.

I miss Amy Vining, RIP Shelly

Her name was Shell Kepler.

If you're going to insist on chiming in on every single inch of a show's history that you googled so you could post something, try to get the dead woman's name right.

Or maybe rc is attempting to show the audience that just as their straight counterparts gay characters can be either good or bad and anywhere in between.

I have only heard of the gay bashing to get your man storyline but if i get anything out of it is that Kish were the main couple and nick chavez was the spoiler willing to do anything to get the guy. Not any different than countless of straight couples who were faced with a devious interloper.

I make it a rule not to give rc any credit but in that specific case i dont see how he is making gay people look bad.

I like brad, i cant stand felix and i am willing to see where lucas is headed and if he turns into a huge manwhore so be it.

Expecting every gay characters to reflect well to the general audience is just as detrimental as making all of them skeevy.

When so many gay-bashings are dismissed as being made up, or as something that the person brought on themselves, I think it's very different, but we can agree to disagree. I think gay = predator is one of the most dangerous writing choices out there, and Ron loves to do that type of writing. But I'm not a fan, so I'm sure I'm biased.

The issue I have right now is that RC is making Lucas Brad & Felix's only trait that they are Gay. Has Felix even helped as a nurse. Has he done anything at the hospital???

Hell GLAAD didnt even see GH worthy and Days is the sole nominee & winner in the daily drama category

What does that say about GLBTQI roles in daytime? Not good IMHO

I think i saw him shuffle some chart once does that count?

But i wouldnt say that felix's main character trait has been to be gay. Being pathetically and un naturally protective of sappina's "love life" has been far more time cconsumming.

I cant stand felix so i cant really comment on hij and lucas is still new although i knew him before so theres this built up interest already. But Brad has shown plenty of layers in the past few months that makes up for the allegedly horrible way he was introduced.

At least to me.

Can i assume that agreeing to disagree doesnt mean we can not trade our respective POV, john becuz i enjoy reading opposite view as long as we are both adult about it. (I will try my damnedest i swear, lol)
