GH: The Brad/Lucas/Felox Triangle

[cuzIsaySo]

Can you point me to the one scene where he was any good please?

At the start i was on his side simply out of obligation to root for anybody going against sonny but i am so over jillian and the shatner-stalking joke portraying him

[cuzIsaySo]

Didnt they turn nick fallon into an homophobic prick cuz he had been raped in jail?

And i wish they had had caroline uncomfortable with her great-grandson being gay. Not an all out homophobic pearl clutching shrew but since she is a really religious person it would have been an interesting beat to play. After a while and some counseling with the local priest (not eric but some older one) she could have been encourage to love will no matter what and let God decide ultimately. I think a good message could have come out out of it.

I usually hate PSA like story but this one would have worked for me.

I get that its realistic on some level that someone wouldnt be comfortable with their son being gay but we already sit through this with Bobbie so i see no point in repeating it with a morally bankrupted mobster with no position to judge.

...not that Kish was any good to begin with. It was one preachy mess after another. The only thing good to come out of that couple was their last story centering around Sierra Rose.

But after the tristan rogers going to yr debacle you would think the runner ups would be more inclined to secure the characters they intend to be carrying storylines for a while.

And when you consider the number of contract players sitting iddly or with minimal screentime i would rather they put the likes of felix and mac (who i adore but hasnt had a story since 1997) on recurring and at least put a promissing character from a legacy family on contract.

[ChitHappens]

Crappy have no interest in putting a character they did not create on contract! They are losers, and TR showed them!

I myself hate to cast suspicion about rc's agenda being to make OLTL lite cuz i think it minimizes the impact of a well thought out debate on whether the show is fun to watch or not but this agenda is becoming more and more obvious.

if row, me and ka all left tomorow i would be in heaven. There is absulutly no reason for them having so much screen time. And a contract of top of that when characters with long history with the show dont.

[dio]

hot. pointless. mess.

no one is gonna ship ANY of these pairings, except for a halfhearted 'eh, whatever...' pairing of Brad/Felix.

i HOPE this is just GH using Brad/Felix to introduce/get the audience used to Lucas in preparation for Lucas' REAL love interest/romance somewhere down the road... otherwise this is just business as usual when it comes to Disney/ABC and gay peeps in daytime.

I agree. It would've made perfect sense for devout Catholic Caroline to show some opposition. And it would be doubly delicious that the one opposer in Salem is the semi-senile Caroloon; making the anti-gays look even sillier.

I know I'm the minority in this, but I like Felix. I think he's adorable. It's Brad that I find so skeevy. Why TWO men would be panting over him is beyond me.

[cuzIsaySo]

I figure the alzheimer story would have played a little later and while i am in no way an anti-gay advocate i think making caroline's uneasiness with will a result of alzheimer would have been awful.

I do not respect their view and wont tolerate people putting down any gay storylines the way they do but i think the side effect would be that the minority of the gay haters that could be persuaded to change their mind would only harden their position under those circumstances.

I only care about seeing characters object to someone being gay if it leads to more story. On DAYS, it might have worked, because Will's only story was making sex faces at EJ and yelling at Sami about being a dirty whore. On GH, I'm not sure. William deVry is so bad in this role and it's just going to be more furrowing of that fivehead and more lethargic self-pitying, as the fans who want to have sex with him rage at "hypocrite" Lucas and say things like, "Lucas can go be with Sonny...he's not good enough for Julian!!1!"

[Mathewson]

I knew for a long time that Ron didn't know how to write (or cast) gay characters. This just reinforces it. Kyle and Fish had some nice moments on OLTL and I liked the actors but it didn't take long for their story to end and for them to get fired.

The actors in this story can't act and I don't care about their characters. When I DVR GH, I skip their scenes unless I'm curious about how horrible their scenes will be.

Why would it matter to Lucas that Julian, a man who has never been apart of his life, has issues in how he chooses to live his life?

Or, who he's with in his life?

Lucas doesn't come across as who he used to be when he was initially coming out and dealing with his sexuality.

[Soapsuds]

Where is my puke bag?

[John]

Right next to mine. I just cant with this [!@#$%^&*]
