GH: June 2014 Discussion Thread

[cassadine1991]

Definitely.

[StevieM]

So are they implying that Rafe is the one who ran Patrick and Sabrina off the road? Did we already know that before today?

[Cheap21]

Todays episode took FOREVER to get through. What a LONG hour

A big Ewww to the crap coming out of Brucie's mouth. Why did Maxie ever give him the time of day? Go Maxie! loved her standing up to him.

Anna throwing all her cops under the bus. She's such an awful commissioner

The actress that played Molly did good. I know Ric's not dead but I felt for her performance. Very convincing

Nina just wheeling herself around the room looked so stupid

[John]

Yes they are. However I hope Its Levi. Maybe Rafe saw it but ran off?

A month after a 20 year coma wake up, NO ONE would be able to wheel their own wheelchair. Where the !@#$%^&*] is that nurse?

[ChitHappens]

LMAO! John, you are obsessed with that non existent nurse.

[Cheap21]

I don't have an issue with her wheeling herself. My problem was that she just looked stupid pacing back and forth franctically in a wheelchair towards the end. The visual was comical for what was supposed to be a serious scene

And as far as that nurse goes, Nine has stressed that she's broke and cant afford anything. Who the heck is paying that nurse?

I think not

[Soapsuds]

I didnt think he looked that bad..a little bloated...at least it wasnt Patrick shirtless....

[Soapsuds]

Well the storyline was stupid to begin with so why shouldnt that be....lol....and where the hell is Donna Mills??

[EricMontreal22]

RC has a history of creating instant love triangles this exact way--bringing in a new character, or even two new characters, butmaking it clear what the endgame is. To be fair, so do a lot of mediocre soap writers, but...

[smirks]

Do you actually care about Donna Mills? She may be a 'name', but she hasn't done anything of note since I was in grade 2. She looks great for her age, but she's not exactly spectacular in this role.

[EricMontreal22]

I assume that Rafe either did drive them off the road because he was high--or else it was an accident when he was upset and he started doing drugs to deal with it, or whatever. Oh and wearing diamond earrings (those are new, right? How did I never notice them.) He was off screen for, what, two months? He must have been very busy doing rails up in his bedroom. Oh right, he likes to do them on picnic tables in city parks in broad daylight, not where someone might not see him...

[Soapsuds]

Dont call him mediocre or he will fry you on twitter...lol

Well they made a big deal about her being on the damn lame show and now she is MIA...and she even praised this crap of a story...all I see in Nina is MS playing Phyliss.

[cuzIsaySo]

Oh smirks thiings were going so well between us

I admit that making Abby Ewing a cartoon vilain was ridiculous but ive dealt with rc's mediocre writing for two years now so i cant say im surprise.

Whenever something stupid happent with La DonnaMills i kept saying just look at her hair and that soothed the blow.

[smirks]

I just find her role kind of pointless on GH. A great deal of her role is just duplicated and was already covered through Obrecht, and Kathleen Gati is tremendous fun (IMO) in her cartoon villain role. The only other part of the role is just scapegoat in the Silas/Nina storyline, and really, who cares about a story that centres on Silas of all people? He has the emotional range of wallpaper paste.

And I am all about "what are you doing for me now?" with actors -- especially those in new roles on a show. I don't care if you've won Emmy's, Oscars, Tonys. It doesn't mean you are great in everything all the time.

It's like with Jonathan Jackson as Lucky. Loved him to pieces when I was a teenager. Didn't care for the human sprinkler system his adult Lucky was, and some of that has to be on him.

Madeliene/Magda is a bust and some of that is on Donna Mills -- not a lot, because look at the writing. Honestly, the character screams temporary. I don't think it's a character worthy of permanence with anyone in the role. But Donna Mills has been meh, which is why no one is screaming "oh where is Magda?!!?"

[EricMontreal22]

I do pity the actors, though I understand some blame is on them. However the current lack of, apparently virtually ANY rehearsal time and Frank Valentini's production schedule which granted, may be the only way to do these shows on budget but apparently, according to that book on One Life to Live and its last days, is VERY confusing to the actors with scenes being filmed weeks apart--I know one actor said he couldn't even remember who the funeral they were taping was for because nobody had died yet--doesn't help. Then add to that the writing where nearly all the key character arc moments actors can use to build are played off camera, oh and the fact a certain producer likes to hire younger actors/models with zero acting experience, and it's clear why even the stronger actors are falling more and more on lazy habits or phoning it in.
