GH: May 2014 Discussion Thread

Trust me, if I was gonna try to respond to every post of that nature I'd have eaten a gun well over a year ago. I mostly ignore them. The point is, it's silly to insist on bringing over every single social media post like, 'look what this person said today to Ron, look what Ron said,' especially when it's obviously a joke and when nobody's joking about rape or violence or anything - what are we all supposed to do, act like we think they're being serious and shake our heads in disgust just because we don't like the guy's writing? It's stupid. Focus on the show; they're plenty to critique there.

I watched the entire prologue for today's episode, which is the first time I watched more than 5 seconds in 6 months or so and judging from what people are saying as well It really has transformed from Godfather to Myra Breckinridge. I thought I was joking the other day when I said that. I only read what others were saying elsewhere along with the daily casting news from spoiler island.

Oh I won't bring any more social media posts over as, I rarely do this may have been a first or a second at the most.

I just thought it was funny moreover, I didn't know its taboo; I just thought if you're not interested do like I've done, politely scroll just not respond but I didn't have to get taken to school about a tweet with a dissertation on the ills of social media . It ain't that serious to be rude...but my bad certainly won't happen again.

As for Ric I didn't realize he wasn't around for Nurses Ball that is something. And I agree Tracey looks stupid. I know it will come out right in the end with this not being Luke but right now they could give her a clue that something is off.

My complaint wasn't about your post; it was more about the aggrieved, artificial melodrama on here surrounding the tweets which were obviously a jest. If I upset you, that I am certainly sorry for.

I love intense debates on soap opera forums. Entertainment! So much better than the soap itself. It is hilarious how seriously some people take everything.

I just ignore Ron's tweets. I don't cyberstalk people as gross as he is.

People who talk to themselves for any reason need psych evaluations. Why does everyone on soaps do that sh!t?! Seeing Detective Driftwood do it at the start of the show was ridiculous.

I LOVE that Dr. O is chief of staff again! It's so absurd that it's awesome. If only she would flog Felix and all the other incompetent employees at the hospital. Before firing them.

I don't know if I'd rather see Levi or those bratty kids. I'm 50/50 at this point.

So Ned's master plan to get Luke away from Tracy is to have that twit Kiki hit on Luke?! Mmk now.

No matter how silly the scenes were, I'm happy I got to see Kevin, Lucy, and especially Bobbie!

The show has gone so up its own ass with these little kids.

I've said again and again that I don't mind soap kids having little storylines, that I find Spencer and Emma amusing in controlled doses and I don't mind them, but all these little kids' lines are just written by middle-aged women and gay men, and it is so [!@#$%^&*] obvious. It's there to amuse themselves, it has nothing to do with what's appropriate for the story or characters who are that young. It's not that I find it vulgar or inappropriate so much as it's just so vacuously glib, it's all overly precocious [!@#$%^&*] no kid that age would say. I know these incessant one-liners must cut the crew up BTS, but what kid that age knows Oprah and Gayle? 'Tripping the light fantastic?' If you're going to write wit could it at least be wit that doesn't totally puncture any illusion of a character? David Vickers could've gotten away with all of this on OLTL, but David Vickers was a severely metrosexual man in his forties! Why do they do this? I can take humor - I enjoyed the supporting players looking on in horror at Mac and Mr. Marbles (Lucy, Felicia, Anna and Duke's facial reactions were great) - but there's a point when too much is way too [!@#$%^&*] much.

    • Someone apparently told Brad Bell that "playing all the beats" meant repeating the same dialogue every day.

      Steal her away from Y&R and make her "Sharon".  
    • -- I continue to enjoy DAYS post-Carlivati. These women have done a great job in refocusing the show. -- It sounds nuts not to agree with "rapists and murderers shouldn't be romantic leads." But then you get characters like Xander and EJ, and you have to put an asterisk after that quote. I enjoy both characters far too much to want them off the show or thrown in jail. They're romantic leads, but you can't tell me they haven't faced consequences. -- I think the Xander beatdown of Phillip was well-directed -- and in character. Some people here believe Xander went too far. Well, that's who Xander is, and we've seen that many times over these past years. He thought he had family, and then realized it was all a lie, so he resorted back to his animal roots. -- The Stephanie Racy Book storyline is soooooo bad. I had to laugh that she couldn't find her manuscript in that 2x4 apartment.
    • Both Philip and Xander should be in jail, period.
    • 5-14   AMMMMMMMMMYYYYYYYYY!!! Thank the Lord! lol. But at least I now have something of interest to watch. So good to see Audra and Amy reunited. hehe. I also liked the continued bonding between Damian and Nate. Side-note...those pants on SD and all of that cake is PERFECTION. Mmmm.   I also enjoyed the continued dragging of Billy. First by the son. And then by the father. lol. Billy standing there and being so insufferable and wonder why people are giving him the business. He can stay at that bar and STFU. Double for Chelesa.    And ugh at Giggly Heffa wasting Victor's (and the audience's) time with her inability to spit it out. At least she made up for it by calling Dumas directly. I was just talking about how I love near-miss in the BTG thread, but the difference here is that the Dumas part of the Damian storyline has gone on too long. So her near-miss was annoying. 
    • Agreeing with your agreeing, and I bet that any urge toward violence against Sarah is what will cause Xander to try to redeem himself. Even though, as you mentioned the other day, I have enjoyed the buildup.  It seems like everyone easily forgave Philip for stealing from Xander.  And their defense was that Victor wanted his two sons to work together.  Until, finally, Xander exploded and realized that Victor wanted what he wrote in his will, days before his death.  If Philip had led an actual legal battle for the estate, then Xander might have capitulated.  But, Philip made him look like a fool.  Because Philip was too smug to simply ask Xander for what he thought he deserved.  I was shocked/enthralled by how raw they allowed Xander to express his rage.  I don't think that would have been allowed before streaming, yet they show people with guns weekly on GH.  I also want to point out that there is still the inorganic nature that neither person in a fight can swear, that I always find distracting. noted for the contrarians, that is not a defense for violence  -- I assume we are all of sound mind, and know right from wrong. - I also know it airs on network TV in other countries, so they still abide by network daytime standards. - blah blah blah
    • I imagine Philip will refuse to identify Xander because he knows he orchestrated this mess and tanked his brother's marriage. Eventually I hope to see Philip and Xander reconciling their awful crimes against each other and restoring that brother bond.  And Xander needs therapy. He was twisted into what he is by Victor's cruelty and has zero anger management skills. Having said that I think this was more a gross writing choice than anything else. One punch would have sufficed for sure but they wanted to show us Sarah was "right". Never mind that she created this situation by helping Xander love his brother so the betrayal was far worse. If he'd heard the truth immediately he would have had Philip arrested and fired him. But Sarah wanted Philip to be her mole to control her husband at work. Who never needed it as he's run Titan just fine on his own before.
    • Oh that's right. Thanks. Thanks @dc11786 I guess Conroy did last for a bit. Never knew why AW didn't see his potential either.
    • May 19, 2025 Fairman interviews Lynn Herring about the Nurses Ball. Excellent interview and no GH spoilers. CAUTION There is a minor DAYS spoiler from 12:15 to 14:15, so if you are Days spoiler-free, then skip those two minutes. Thus intentionally posting the link instead of embedding the youtube.. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tYXKsKa1xTE
