Members John Posted January 16, 2017 Members Share Posted January 16, 2017 Johnny Look not to burst your bubble but ABC Disney does not let anyone have free reign especially in Daytime that they dont give two [!@#$%^&*] about And its hard to read praise for them when it comes from Joutrnalists who never look at GH, The Good The Bad and The Ugly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted January 17, 2017 Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 In mystery stories, writers will install "red herrings", or a story point or event to throw a reader off track in a whodunit. Mr. Slesar said that since his viewers were wise enough to catch the red herrings that he would throw in some blue herrings that would make his mysteries more difficult to solve for viewers. Sigh. They don't make them like him anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted January 17, 2017 Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 I liked that guy they brought in to play Spinelli temporarily yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted January 17, 2017 Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 But how is a blue herring different from a red herring? It sounds like a blue herring is the seeming denouement of a story but not, that there's one final twist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted January 17, 2017 Members Share Posted January 17, 2017 I think the difference between the two was ease of sniffing them out by the viewers. Mr. Slesar knew that his viewers figured out a red herring when they saw it, but he threw those in as any mystery writer would. He then threw the blue ones in to throw viewers off his trail, and quite often, the tactic worked. But notice, there was a plan. I do want to point out something else though. Mr. Slesar in no way underestimated his audience! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted January 18, 2017 Members Share Posted January 18, 2017 A blue herring is just another red herring. That's it. Slesar was was just saying he wrote better red herrings. Truth is, there's no difference between the red and blue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted January 18, 2017 Members Share Posted January 18, 2017 Nice to see that Tonja Walker is playing the lady in red, though we don't know who yet. She was looking good! I suppose you are correct. I didn't look at it that way, but there is still no denying that Mr. Slesar respected his viewer's intelligence. I don't think any character written under Mr. Slesar's watch would have held a knife to their spouse's throat ruthlessly, gotten off free and clear for it, and then be made out to be a hero.

Members DRW50 Posted January 19, 2017 Members Share Posted January 19, 2017 It reminded me of how much Spinelli really is just Bradford Anderson using catchphrases. I was mostly happy to see Blake Berris, looking very handsome. I was pleasantly surprised to see Felicia when Maxie was getting ready for her wedding. Naturally Nina (painted into that way too tight banana peel dress) got all the dialogue she should have had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted January 19, 2017 Members Share Posted January 19, 2017 I did laugh when Obrecht was sitting down and referred to Felicia as the "Aztec". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted January 19, 2017 Share Posted January 19, 2017 It was nice to see Mac, Felicia and Robin. Mac, Felicia and Robin surrounded by so many awful and unnecessary characters. Dr. O calling Felicia Aztec was funny. Maxie marrying a log of wood Please register in order to view this content The baby Leo drama was meh. But Ned and Olivia F do have chemistry. True GH characters appear sporadically only to occasionally be thrown some crumbs. What do Jelly have against Lucas? Lucas should've been at Maxie's wedding. Naxie wedding was dull and lackluster.Blake Berris was ok as Spinelli. Olivia J is back she should've stayed dead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
