GH: May 2014 Discussion Thread

[DRW50]

That jaw on Milo still scares me.

[AlexElizabeth]

If Bobbie runs Kelly's, where the hell will Sonny and Shawn have their mob meetings?

[Khan]

Perhaps at Lucy and Felix's brand-new "CoeCoe" signature boutique?

[Nate4]

stop! We must be grateful the soap gods, frank and ronald, brought them back! Who cares about where they live or work! As long as we see them once a month!

[alexisfan07]

Did they not realize the "mystery" of who sent Silas the flowers was completely obliterated when they shot that add-in with Stafford from a few weeks back?

[P.J.]

Sam actually went to Julian and requested his help when S&S thought Ava was behind Nakamura's and Nina's deaths. I guess that and him dating Alexis has made it "cool" now to hang around Danny and get upped to Grandpa status.

Still watching some of the Nurses' Ball...

Do you ever forget Levi is there (and what he looks like) and then you see him and you're just like, "DAMN!" (I mean "DAMN" as in night terrors). I'm scared.

They should have put a seizure warning on that strip number...

Luke's whole stream-of-consciousness pervfest over all the women he wanted to bang was so creepy and likely something Tony Geary came up with himself. With that said, if they wanted the scene to show how creepy the fake Luke is, it worked. Most of the show's attempts at suspense or creepiness (intentional creepiness) don't work.

Ryan Carnes is a terrible dancer, but I will say that he knows the right body size for his frame - Paevey and whoever plays Milo are too overdeveloped in the chest.

I often forget Luke and Bobbie are siblings.

Ned does Meat Loaf...that was even worse than I'd expected. I was pining for Ladykiller.

[KMan101]

Oh Carl, I wish I could forget Levi.

Ryan Carnes is a terrible dancer, LOL. Paevey was also wooden in his dancing (shocker, I know). Paevey is a bit too developed, but not as bad as Milo. I agree that Carnes' body suits him. I was pleasantly surprised, lol.

It's bad when Ned's performance honestly was the best, even if it was still a bit ridiculous as well.

And the show seemed to forget Luke and Bobbie are siblings. It only matters when it fits the plot. You know Ron was crowing about having Bobbie say that line "what have you done with my brother!" Soapy Goodness!

And this is all so Geary can live out his fantasy, IMHO. It's just awful all the way around. Even though I personally don't think Geary fantasizes about women. Just saying.

[Cheap21]

If the show really wants to do a twist, they should have Tracy find out that Luke isn't Luke by walking in on him having sex with some guy in his 20s. Now that would be a shocker I'd pay to see

[KMan101]

Me too. That'd actually be a brilliant little twist.

I'm still waiting for Milo to suddenly be gay. I feel like Ron desperately wants him to be.

[marceline]

Even I'd tune into that.

[Cheap21]

Lol just imagine GH introduces some new pool boy that Tracy hires to work at the Q mansion and a few weeks later we find out he's screwing her new husband...LOL

[DRW50]

Tracy: Really? Really? You told me if I kept my hair and nails short you wouldn't do that anymore, dammit!

[Cheap21]

Luke: "Yeah, well, the strap-on just ain't cutting it anymore"

[Vee]

There's so many things they could do to make several of these storylines work, and they just don't bother. One thing that should happen yesterday is for Tracy to finally wise up and start quietly working "Luke" herself, until their two schemes and counter-schemes collide in a month or two down the road. Maybe she pays Kiki to entertain "Luke", who knows what.

But yeah - if you want to shock me and get eyes on your show, stop blowing Yoplait money on lousy covers of classic songs or trolling Twitter about John Stamos or Ronn Moss or dropping in lines of dialogue about recent scandals or TV shows. Just have someone do something actually transgressive for legitimately believable reasons. Like "Luke"/Bill doing a dude.

And yeah - Ron is clearly fascinated with the guy playing Milo and several other dudes. He wanted to walk that line with Milo last year with him and Felix, and he only pulled out of a summer storyline featuring Milo at Deception, with Lulu, etc. because the fans hated it so much, they lost actors, had to shift storylines around for time and so on.
