I really enjoyed that fight with Spencer and Esme today. Esme can be really annoying sometimes and I don't really understand her motivations, but Avery Pohl is a really kickass young actress. 

[John]

This plan she has has so many holes (The sex Tape) its beyond sad but it was fun seeing Spencer stand up to her and when she left without answering his question thats all the proof he needed that she Esme did this

[Nixor]

I get what everyone is saying because no, this isn’t going to be the next Kim K sex tape that launches fame. But in a small town and in a school setting of course it’s damaging. And we were made to believe you could see them completely nude so what they showed us as the audience isn’t supposed to be what the whole of the clip showed. 

There’s a reason revenge porn like this is against the law now and it’s because it’s incredibly damaging and traumatizing to the victims. I don’t like Joss but I think they’ve shown this fallout in a very real way. It would have been better to do this while they were still in high school but the show is weird about this teen group. 

[Khan]

Wait, PC is still a small town?

[carolineg]

I get your point.  I guess I should have said I can't bring myself to care

.  Joss/Cam do have a right to be upset.  It's just not the end of the world they are making it out to be.  It's a sex tape between two adults in a committed relationship.  It's embarrassing, but it's not overly raunchy or dirty (I don't think lol).

I think PC is at least a medium size town.  Any town with an international airport and college isn't small lol.  I always assumed it was similar in size to Buffalo/Rochester. 

[Khan]

Same.

[carolineg]

If the show didn't actively name check Rochester I would have assumed that's basically what Port Charles was.  I don't get small town vibes from it at all just due to the major hospitals, airports, college, trade, etc. they have there.

[Khan]

I've always seen PC as a substitute for Albany, even if Albany itself has been name-checked on the show in the past.

[carolineg]

You know Albany does sound about right actually.  I think any vaguely populated upstate New York town works.  It's not like Lake Placid, but Albany, Rochester, Buffalo all fit the bill.  I don't think it's like Salem USA that grew into a more "populated" town throughout the years.  I always thought PC was a medium sized city.

[Nixor]

I really don’t think it matters if PC is small or medium sized, at least not for the point I was making. I went to a large state public school in the same area and still would have been traumatized if this had happened to me. It was their first time having sex and all their classmates saw it? Come on there’s no need to diminish that just cause Joss is an insufferable mini beast. 

[carolineg]

Sorry!  I wasn't personally trying to diminish your point, which is valid.  I just think @Khan  and I were saying we thought PC was a larger town.

Anyhow, Lol! at Joss being a mini beast.  I don't even think Joss is that annoying just very, very boring.  She literally has the worst characteristics of Jax/Carly and that's saying a lot.  I just don't feel bad for her.  If it happened to me, sure, it would be awful.  But her crying about it is lame.   I would rather she owns it and starts selling those tapes herself for profit.  Joss has been through a ton in her lifetime.  This feels like small potatoes compared to half the things that have happened to her.

[cassadine1991]

It wasn’t for a lack of trying on his part. He’s been thirsting over Trina since the moment he met her.

[Khan]

Me neither, @Nixor!

3-9

 

OMG!!!! HE SPOKE!!!! Does @Ryan Chamberlain know their guy is on the move anew?

 

To think that I was just talking about at the beginning at the week/last week that GH has been good, but it still had some stories that needed to be touched on. And this week has been ALL about the stories that they needed to be touched on.

 

THE DREW BRAINWASHING LOOSE END TO VICTOR. BOOM!!! Here comes Peter's box!!! While I rolled my eyes as hard as Britt did when it arrived, if it's a good way to use it to advance the loose end of why Victor wants Drew...GOOD. And I like the teamup of Laura, Sam, and Drew against Victor. However, I do feel that it will be used to booster up a Dante/Sam/Drew triangle, it is good to see the story moving along.

 

ESME'S CONNECTIONG TO RYAN. After alllllllllllllllllll of that teasing...THAT was it? I think we called that a while ago, but it did give a few new questions. And none of the expected took away from the great reveal scenes between Esme and Ryan. So Ryan WAS behind the stalking all along? And it is still ALL ABOUT AVA. And he's FAKING it? Oooooo...the possibilities. And now that we are talking about the Nik/Ava renewal more frequently...I think we can already tell what the next big event will finally be. My only question is...will they build to May Sweeps with that or is that an April event? PS. Great reveal scenes, but also creepy.

 

MARSHALL'S STORY. Honestly...the only story that is not moving as organically as the other two above is this. It definitely has been pull and push. And I thought the reason for that at first has been Aunt Stella not being there. But she's been back for months and still NOTHING. So...now Jordan is back so I wonder if this story will be next dragged out story to FINALLY get some more movement. 

 

Other things...

 

Wow @carolineg. I see TempHarmony and she really does move like Kristen Davis. I agree.

 

I knew it was coming when she lost the baby. But...Sasha is back on drugs. While I wonder where it will go with her, this C plot of the elopement is getting waaaaay too much time. That said...I agree with Gladys (I know shocking) that it is too soon for them to elope and she is speaking nothing but common sense.

 

Hm. Sonny and Nina already acting like a couple without even being a couple yet. Not hating on it at all. And already getting their next story with them vs Michael/Willow and that buildin conflict...not to mention Cujo...I mean Carly.

 

Speaking of new stories...I see Felicia is getting hers. Not only some Victor drama, but disapproving mama over Maxie/Austin...who I don't mind at all. But that could be because that keeps Austin away from characters I like. lol.

 

ETA: I almost forgot...that teen story took a turn reeeeal quick. But I'm not sure...yet...if it is plausible that Cam or Joss would even think Trina was behind it. The fact that Joss is seeing through Esme's bs I liked. All she was missing was to give Esme a good ole Carly slap.
