GH: February 2014 Discussion

And yet, RC wrote Patrick worried about PTSD yesterday when questioning her very irrational behavior.

Patrick and Anna should've told Robin that DENIAL is a classic symptom of PTSD and urged her into at least talking with Kevin once.

But why does it matter what Patty said when clearly PTSD is not written? Going to save Jason and PTSD are not related so it really makes no sense for Patty to say it outside of soliciting a response from Robin in order to get the audience to STFU.

Well, we can fanwank it if we want to, but I'm going by the scripts. And the scripts made a point to passive-aggressively smack the online audience who castigated RC for not dealing with Robin's trauma by having Robin all but turn to the camera and say "I do not have PTSD" - an actual line of dialogue.

This is the 2nd time Patrick's SCRIPT questioned if she's suffering PTSD.

Besides, pretty much every PTSD character on a soap or TV always denies having PTST at first, so that excuse is meaningless to me. I'm more liable to believe RC was so defensive over the criticism, he wrote some in last minute. Much like his What If was added last minute for Jason & Sam to addresse those complaints.

I think her being MIA has more to do with the Sabrina actress being pregnant. Shes only taped twice since these scenes were taped and in the past 45 days and only one of those days was with Patrick. She's on maternity leave now so there won't be anymore scenes after that for a while. It's more likely just bad writing on RC's part.

TCa's not due until May. She's left for maternity leave 3 months in advance? Wow, is she okay? I thought I read TCa said she wants to tape close to the baby's birth.

someone didn't read my post

Sorry boo, totally missed it!

Don't like Jon Lindstrom's new look either. I can already tell they're going to have the Lucy/Scott secret come out during the Nurses' Ball. Should be a fun dramatic time!

They're dark right now so nobody's taping and then she's due to go on maternity leave when they get back from being dark. I know she's not taping right when they get back, so she might come in for a few days before the baby is born but its not going to be a lot.

Uh, yeah, and...he was wrong. He didn't know what was going on.

The script had Robin say herself, before any of this Victor [!@#$%^&*] occurred, in a regular conversation, that she had herself checked out and that she does not have PTSD. That is Ron Carlivati's take on it. That is how he reacted to criticism of the issue weeks ago, with that scene where she calmly told her family she didn't have it - that was his defense. I believe he has even reiterated it to people on social media - "Robin does not have PTSD."

What more do you want? Just because a character asks someone something (and it is then shot down) does not mean the story point is up for debate when they clearly tell you it's not. It may be something you or I want to see, but it's very clearly and obviously not what they are doing because they have literally told you the opposite at least twice. This isn't fan fiction where we choose our own twists. When it comes to this story I wish it was but it's not.

Yeah, outside of Patty asking, what else have we been given in regards to PTSD? Not a damn thing! In fact, how did Patty connect Robin might have PTSD to her going after Jason when they've had this fight for years? She had PTSD prior to being held captive? Patty's question was clearly directed towards the audience.

The funny thing is, instead of moRon feeling he had to address the PTSD, why not simply have Robin discuss her ordeal? You can get heartfelt stuff out of something just that simple. Really, you can. I really wish moRon would stay off of Twitter because that is part of GH's problem. The rest is that he's just a dumb ass completely incapable of doing the job handed to him on a silver platter.

Ryan Carnes and Bryan Craig already had me pretty convinced, but that thing on Jane Elliot's head now has me certain that the hair department has completely left the building. WTF?! Awful!

Can't stand Franco and I'm so tired of seeing Howarth and his antics on my screen.

I'm so over the BLT crap.

Sabrina tomorrow... ughhhhh.

  • Member

The BLT seeming to be good but actually being stale and unappetizing sort of sums up Anna's return to GH...

Why don't we all just relax. And wait for Ron to tell us what it all means on twitter. In 140 characters. So much easier than allowing what's on screen to speak for itself.

I guess Howarth's awful scenes where he was screaming in the graveyard a couple of weeks ago just got mocked on The Soup. I'm sure Ron is patting himself on the back right now.

This is something that shouldn't be applauded

I only watched the tracy / lulu scenes and I REALLY liked them. Tracy's speech about family was very touching. Tracy has been twice the mother to Lulu then Laura ever was.

Anna's doing a shitty job. Go Tracy!
