 That's a big part of the problem in episodic writing currently- a good writer does construct a story from start to finish.  Adjustment can and should be made along the way but the major points of the plot (and a timeline as to how they'll unravel) should be outlined from jump.   Not deciding on the way a story will end and instead figuring it out as you go makes for a sloppy show.

Unlike some other viewers, I have found the St. Petersburg intrigue kind of interesting, but, there are a few things that don't make sense.  More observant viewers on other sites have pointed out that Ava should have recognized Sonny's telephone number because she herself would use it if there were issues with her daughter with Sonny.  That one got by me, but my big question is, they are pumping up this character that Steve Burton is playing, most probably Jason, with a horse tranquilizer and he could withstand it like Superman?  Are we supposed to believe that it was "the power of love" that keeps the tranquilizer from taking effect?  Will this character be the one who will eat poisoned pancakes and still live to tell about it?

Someone needs to remind Ms. Walker that rule number one of defending yourself against claims of racism is NOT to say some of your best friends (or, in her case, your best friends' children) are Black.

 

 

I STAY sick to death of Steve Burton.

Another fabulous episode .  The story pacing is so bad. We pick up with stunning Finola Hughes repeating herself  talking to Dawgy Daddy for the whole episode with no plot movement whatsoever. Of course, they were last scene a week ago. I can accept every other day, but it's been a week. 

 

They have no problem with Carly repeating over and over about not trusting Nelle--and that dayplayer with her today was awful.

 

Man Landers was a fill-in story to cover the time off for KS. The only redeeming qualities for this story have been the divine Jennifer Bassey, and the much needed changes in Amy. When first brought on, she was a terribly written character. She's still annoying, but I've liked the changes they made. I've seen on other boards and FFacebook the "disgust" of viewers that can't see why Nathan would bother even talking to "that fat nurse", "the porker", etc.   Shame on them, people come in sizes other than zero.   People fat shaming her should get up and look in the mirror. I'm sure most of them aren't a size zero...

 

I wonder if we'll actually see Bobbi's party, and how many will attend? Not expecting much there.

Yep. JFP got a lot of deserved flack because of how she treated female actresses, but some of the fans are just as bad. In part Hollywood has really trained us to expect actresses to be incredibly thin.  It's sick that so many people blindly accept and expect it though. I like some of the changes in Amy, but they've almost made her too chipper now.  Some of it is acting choices I guess.  I like the actress, but I'll be surprised if they continue to write for her.

    • Excellent! The OLTL-GH promo places this and the RH episode (which I assume aired directly before this AMC) as airing during the week of Aug. 20.
    • Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.
    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.
    • I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.
    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
