GH: May 2014 Discussion Thread

I abhor the thought that a story is "working" when it has the audience all worked up that way. To me, that suggests TPTB regard viewers as inarticulate and clueless, when the truth is that the viewers are anything but.

Isn't Y&R's demo going down? That seems to be JFP's MO. Get the 18-49 demo up and then it begins to drop as people realize she delivers the same crap over and over again.

Not to mention the hacks that they have writing the show. But this is for GH.

I think you missed the point though. Ric did not shoot Lucas bc there are tons of witnesses who saw who actually did it. This is where RC could have avoided such a blatant logical plothole by having the gunman where a mask so no one would be the wiser. As it stands, he having the gun means nothing other than he is blatantly being setup

Didnt see the preview for monday but from what i have heard i am ready to despise Felix even more than i already do. What right does he have to interfere in Lucas' decision to get back with Brad or not? The only reason he was invited to Juju's diner was becuz he wasnt over Brad so stfh !@#$%^&*].

Sam: "Anna, Im no Ric fan but he wasn't the shooter. He's not the person we saw"

Anna: "But we found the gun in his hotel room; the same gun which is a match for the bullets"

Felix: "I also got a good look at the shooter and it was not Mr. Lansing"

Anna: "But his fingerprints are on the gun"

Alexis: "And Julian said that Ric did it, which means he must have, right?"

Sam: "But mom, you saw it too. Ric was NOT the shooter"

Anna: "I have a perfectly good explanation for all this. Ric must have been wearing a mask to disguise his identity, so no one could ID him. Trust me, I have experience with this"

Nikolas: "Its true. Obrecht used one of those when she was hiding out at Wyndemere"

Sam: "Well you would know. Ric, how could you?"

Felix: "Bastard! You shot Lucas!"

Anna: "Officer take the suspect down this his cell. Someone call the mayor and tell her, I solved this case"

I finally finished the Nurses' Ball...I'm glad I got to see the big reveal, as I thought Lynn Herring did a great job (that type of dancing on the verge of hysteria is so Lucy), and considering he had almost nothing to do, so did Jon Lindstrom. I liked Bobbie's reaction too - her not really being all that surprised.

I skipped most of the rest. The whole "gather for the Santiago miracle child" bit would have been more powerful to me if I cared, or if Teresa Castillo hadn't stunk up her dramatic scenes throughout the episode.

Obrecht doing her Tweety Bird rendition of Always On My Mind felt, like her other number, endless, and off-key. Perhaps it was the sound, as everyone was off-key.

    • I really like Paul Telfer a lot.   But I loathe Xander!
    • OK. No harm done. Agree to disagree... (Even thought I'm not sure about what...

      ) Anyways... I did really feel disgusted by Eurovision this year and I doubt I'll watch this horrific musical torture in the future. My ears and my psyche will not survive.  
    • Regarding the mobster storyline: The scripts, the cardroom set, and the writing for Joey -- are all terrible. They seem to be writing a realistic depiction of compulsive gambling as an addiction, showing that it pops into his head all the time -- it has become hardwired into his brain.  The APA (American Psychological Association) describes compulsive gambling as having a similar effect on the physical brain as drug and alcohol addiction. https://www.apa.org/monitor/2023/07/how-gambling-affects-the-brain I think Jason Graham (Doug) is doing an adequate job playing Doug as a compulsive gambler, with the thoughts/urges coming into his head all the time, and being unable to stop. However, the cardroom set is awful and the mobster storyline is a bad cliché, so it's all so uninteresting to watch. I think Mr. Graham is doing the best he can with the crap they gave him to work with. If anyone reading or watching has a gambling issue, check out Gamblers Anonymous.  They have many types of meetings -- in-person, online, video, audio, etc.  They also have resources for friends/family of compulsive gamblers.
    • Today was painful (especially for Philip).  I still feel for Xander. He was clear he was happy sharing and working with Philip. It's just one more betrayal from someone he loved. Going back to last year when he found out about Victor and Fiona, then Alex and Philip. He forgave and tried. Then Philip went behind his back again. He's been walking on the edge for weeks. This is a man who was abused, neglected and has never had any therapy for his horrific past. He has zero coping skills because he's never learned them. I hate this but I refuse to hate Xander
    • Lucy Coe wasn't even this big of a whore. 
    • Kate being the one that Alex called was a nice surprise. The cut to her looking all sheek made me instantly get excited for her to get back into business mode. And the Jack reference from when she first came to town (on-screen) was inserted naturally which is always welcome. When they were talking about how much sex sells, I almost got the impression they were sizing each other up in a May/December type of way.  All the Philip stuff was gruesome. I'm happy the show isn't shying away from Xander's ugliness. I love them both, and it just makes me intrigued for the aftermath for it all to be taken seriously. I cheered when Philip spat out at that Sarah knew the truth. I'm on tenterhooks for their eventual confrontation. I was surprised that Kate wasn't a little vicious towards Sarah for Xander's obvious behavior, but maybe that's still to come. How wonderfully entangled is it that both Philip and Shawn/Steve stopped each other from getting the drug. Both equally at fault. Who/what will ultimately save Bo? And with everything going on, is a Salem where it's looking likely that EJ is about to own the hospital imminent?  
    • Oddly.. Chase and Steve seem to have both vanished from the canvas in December so the Estelle return loses impact when two of her kids stop appearing shortly after her return (and I assume TR leaves in early 1986 as well). The Steve recast doesn't work... but it's odd that he has a long scene with Teri with Cagney looking jealous.. when the majority of his time on the show previously was a relationship and engagement to Stephanie (who he barely has a scene with in the episodes I see). Your idea for Wendy/Bela/Stephanie sounds just like what Ryan's Hope did with Michael/Kim/Rae... and considering Louise Shaffer was playing Rae and Stephanie.. it would have been a lousy redux of a superior story on another soap (that had months of build-up) I think Quinn becoming assistant to Stephanie was Mayer/Braxton... but not 100 % sure. I don't know if Mayer/Braxton was setting up Sarah as a bad girl disguised as a good girl.. but the actress (Joyner) was playing the scenes in that manner.. and Tomlin wisely tapped into that when he took over.  
    • She’s such a caricature - which is a shame because I think the actress is capable of so much more.   I don’t know why Cady often feels like she has overcompensated in her performances. She already proved she can play much more than just Dixie Cooley during her first stint at ATWT (her best acting era). Her performances in various roles since then have been quite strange at times.
    • It feels like the show suddenly woke up today and remembered it was Sweeps month. Lots of action and forward momentum, including a delicious Nina/Carly fight.
