Members AlexElizabeth Posted February 19, 2014 Author Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 LOL at Det. Mannequin. So far his various nicknames are the best thing about the character. I saw that Woodpile posted on twitter than he has an acting coach. Thank god. (If only he'd take half the cast along with him to his next lesson.)

Members Vee Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 My bet is that Lulu will [!@#$%^&*] Thunderbirds Are Go in the interim before sweeps. Then we'll have it simultaneously come out that a) it's their baby after all and she fucked another man, wow what a bitch, she's no better than Britt. That's how Ron handles this stuff - see also: Robin. Of course by then he will probably dispense of Britt in short order afterwards. I still see no evidence that she is any more than a plot mover for him in the long term for Niz the awful Default Couple, but he's surprised me before. Oh, and Niz will [!@#$%^&*] within 24 hours of the truth coming out. Watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 I just wish they would give a reason why anyone should care about any of the people involved in this story. Britt in particular. Britt seems to exist mostly based on fan antipathy toward other female characters. She was the anti-Sabrina, and is now the anti-Liz. I guess she will soon be the anti-Lulu. By next year she'll have run through most of the female cast and will have to be the anti-Kelly Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 Basically. There are too many thin-ass characters 'succeeding' in daytime in that way over the last five to ten years. And too many on this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members cassadine1991 Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 Just saw today's episode and wow I totally hated this episode. Elizabeth AND Robin were totally unlikable, sad to say Morgan and Lucas were the only good thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 I find him very handsome and I sort of like that he does not have classically perfect/typical Hollywood features. Everyone on TV always has a perfectly tiny nose (no doubt thanks to surgery in many cases) and he has this real nose and real skin coloring, and he isn't blond and so on and so forth.

Members TeamEric Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 I'll be the lone voice of dissent then because IMO they were GH's best written scenes in ages and KMC/JT really delivered. First, I appreciated their whole fight was based on a very long conflict within their marriage versus the newbie ninny and her plot ridden pregnancy. For once, RC didn't go shallow history but dug deep into complicated motivations and feelings. Patrick's always felt he came up short first to Stone then Jason. Patrick's I let you down admission was rooted in that past, the Lisa debacle AND also allowing himself to be persuaded twice to ignore Robin's two frantic calls home last year. I hate being in the position to defend RC but if he really wanted to destroy Robin like you all say, he's perfectly capable of turning her her into a crazy, violent Marty attacking poor pregnant Sabrina. Then he'd cart her off for a long visit to Shadybrooke. Maybe shown a drooling idiot like Guza infamously spit on Laura. Instead, RC set up some REAL internal conflicts for Robin & Patrick to overcome on KMC's next GH visit. Plus, what part of Robin suffering PTSD isn't being made clear here? She's staring at Jason's picture and seeing herself strapped down and held captive. Patrick should have marched straight to Kevin's office today and asked for his help. Any first year psychology student would diagnose it as over-projection and give Patrick some gentle tips on getting her to see this isn't an emotionally rational decision. But Patrick's human, and feels too angry and hurt to realize his wife needs help. He keeps boiling it down to Robin picking Jason over him, instead of recognizing she's unable to separate Jason's captivity from her own right now.

Members Cheap21 Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 I saw nothing about those scenes as PTSD. This is typical Robin as Patrick mentioned when she risked her life to save Jason's 3 years ago. She wasn't going to go save him until she had that scene with Danny in the park. That wasn't about her seeing herself captive. Robin looks perfectly sane to me and nothing about her since she returned has suggested she had PTSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members difficultdiva Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 Robin's not being written or seen as a "heroine" in this situation and I'm not focused on where this puts Sabrina. I'm focused on how this establishes Jason and Emma's places in Robin's priorities/places in her life, mind and heart. She's willing to leave her family (after she was unwillingly taken from them for over two years), because of her love and devotion for her gangster soulmate, Jason?! Agreed. If this was really about PTSD and Robin's struggles in coping with what she experienced being held captive, while her family and friends thought that she was dead would and should have been Robin's exit story to seek help. The show chose to go in a completely shallow and dumbfounded excuse to get Robin out of town. Robin denied that she was having any sort of difficulties. She made this about her and Jason's bond. Even Jason, would have never wanted Robin to sacrifice her and her family's future and happiness for him. This is how absurd this storyline has turned into. This exit has revealed how little Robin thinks about her husband and child. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cyberologist Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 For the first time I got a pull for a positive re: Robin' dilemma when she says she knows how it feels to be held captive with no one looking for you then Patrick says something like because we thought you were dead and Robin goes exactly. Also her reasoning that Jason saved her back then when she didn't want to save herself encouraging her with the cocktail and all that..she wouldn't be here if it wasn't for him.... Well I'll refrain from commenting on LaLiz; since I'm not liking the way she' being written in this Nik deal after 6 triangles with him, but I'll take the hits the good, the bad, the ugly...but IA although I would have preferred a different exit Ron could have really thrown her over the van.

Members ChitHappens Posted February 19, 2014 Members Share Posted February 19, 2014 Bingo! I totally see TeamEric's view, but Robin looks like an idiot leaving her family to bring a hitman home to his son. Of course moRon used history and Patty's resentment of the mob. He only tries to do depth when he destroying a character. I had been saying for 2 solid years that Robin left her family when she went back into that lab only to be met with "she was kidnapped". Robin was kidnapped after she voluntarily put her life on the line for Jason and ignored her family. This is no different. It was smart to leave Sobby off screen for this, so that no one can blame her for this Scrubs debacle. Patty gave up a woman who puts him and his daughter first and made him happy for the one who will never prioritize him above 5th in her life. Putting Jason before her marriage? Sure. Carly did it all the time, but now Robin has a 5 year old who just got her back, so why would a mother do this? As much as I hate Robin, and man do I [!@#$%^&*] hate her, I don't think it was right to have her exit this way. Scrubs should not have been reunited at all, and if Robin was to return, I would have had her die of AIDS. Then you can let Sobby earn her place in the hearts of the audience by being there for Patty. Now what? Periodic trips back to PC for Robin when Kim needs cash? Robin suffering from PTSD? JT gets a gold star, but Kim? Sorry, she is such a boring actress. Someone please find a scene so I can see what you all see. This young woman is a complete bore and even when she tries to deliver something meaty, it comes off as a little girl playing dress up. I'm serious, what scene or scenes can I watch to convince me Kim is as wonderful as some of you believe she is? What a dullard! Side note: I never bought Kim as a parent on the show. Even when Robin was with Emma, I just thought she was a character you didn't give bio children. Kim does not do that well. KeMo is another one you don't give bio kids on a soap. She is the furthest thing from maternal. RH and LW are really good as onscreen mothers and very believable. Kim, Kelly and Storms will never be onscreen parents, IMHO! On to Lucas, the real reason I watched yesterday. I love it when this guy gives me material to work with, pathetic ass. Brad said hit the damn bricks, so what's the problem?! Brad and Felix's fight was so unnecessary, especially when they developed off screen. Also, Felix knows who Brad was when they started "dating" and sees the changes the man is trying to make with himself, but he tosses him out because of what Brad did to Patty? Could you at least dump him for transgressions against you, Felix? Good grief! Not sure why Shawn even bothers to wear a shirt because you can practically see his body thru the shirts. PERFECTION! Felix's body is pretty tight as well. The Jerome Sisters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
