Members j swift Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 As they say in Bangladesh, totes mcgoats (aka I agree) GH has such a weird relationship with legal authority. The spies are constantly trying to eschew their superiors in order to get illegal convictions. The police commissioners from Burt Ramsey to Mac Scorpio are either corrupt or former eco-terrorists. The rich constantly threaten to bribe judges to win custody of their children. And, of course, the most eligible bachelor in town is a mobster who won't sell drugs, but once owned a strip club with teenage dancers. As an audience, we're never supposed to root for people who value civil rights, just those who want justice for personal reasons. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Idk, I get why Ned is annoyed. Not because he cares about Drew/Carly, but because no one including his close family members believe him. Plus, not only is he being blamed, but everyone's acting like whoever turned them in did a horrible thing when Carly/Drew are the idiots and the people breaking the law. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) That's when you need Tracy to step in and say, "What is the MATTER with you people!? Have we forgotten that Drew and Carly COMMITTED. A CRIME? If Ned hadn't have turned them in, I would've! "Ned and Drew are Quartermaines, and Quartermaines do not rat each other out! End of!"

Members j swift Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 And, to reiterate, even if they didn't intend to engage in insider trading, they consciously obstructed justice by hiding their relationship, and there is no defense for that fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Remember: it wasn't the break-in that brought down the Nixon administration, it was the clumsy attempt at covering it up. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Agreed. If Ned had a few allies saying you are all idiots and no one cares about Carly after everything she did to the Q's for the last 25 years it would be nice. Carly/Drew aren't victims. They are stupid. I swear GH just has such a warped sense of good and bad and it is Carly/Sonny/Jason's fault. I like (and have often loved) Sonny, but he's a pretty crappy guy. It's weird the entire town thinks he's great. Same with Jason/Carly. The show's moral compass got so twisted so long ago that it's probably hard to right the ship now. But Ned shouldn't be the bad guy if he turns in people actually breaking the law. A hypocrite? Perhaps, but turning Drew/Carly in isn't inherently a bad act. Again, I think the show's morality is just so far gone that because this is small potatoes on the list of crimes Carly has willingly committed we are supposed to be on her side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Morally, Ned trying to save the jobs of hundreds of ELQ employees and thousands of ELQ investors by avoiding an SEC fine should be celebrated over the need to maintain a romantic relationship between a man with a computer chip in his head and his middle-aged girlfriend who has already been married five times. And, Olivia, of all people, should recognize that fact. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Olivia is just a low rent Lois. Come on GH get Rena Sofer to return On another note, do you think they were chem testing Jane with Gregory Harrison 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Olivia is oddly loyal to everyone but her own husband. I know Ned has his faults, but I feel like she will take everyone's side before Ned's in most cases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Why do I feel Carly is gonna ask Olivia to help her & Drew find dirt on Tracy so Ned will recant & that Olivia will agree to help? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 (edited) Does it matter though? Ned didn't start this. I don't really know how all this works, but Olivia would have to actively help cover the crime. Ned recanting won't do anything. Even if Nina recants the ball is already rolling, so I don't know how they could stop it without committing another crime by getting rid of evidence or lying.

Members Khan Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 At this point, I think some of us would be happy if GH were to drop the story altogether, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 At best, Drew and Carly would have to pay stiff penalties to the SEC and the U.S. Treasury. At worst, they would serve prison time - and for some reason, I can't see either Drew or Carly or both going to jail, so they'll end up doing the former, which would be anticlimactic, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aragorn Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 I hope Mr. Wu kills Gladys, and then Sonny retaliates by killing Brad. Two characters gone that I don't need. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted May 23, 2023 Members Share Posted May 23, 2023 Ned is annoyed so that further down the road when the truth comes out, he'll have an axe to grind with Nina too Please register in order to view this content These writers are so transparent in regards to their biases. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
