No that Curtis has been revealed to be Trina's father, I think that Taggert will be written of of the show.

[Darn]

I think Taggert would have be consistently on the show to get written off lol.

I think Real did some of his best work yesterday with the elevator scene reacting to finding out he's not Trina's dad. I'm surprised the show gave his character the time for an extended emotional reaction, didn't we need another scene of someone telling Willow how brave she is?

I don't see this meaning much because Trina likes Curtis and his family and loves her dad? What's the point? Whatever.

Marshall makin' gumbo in the kitchen and Stella wringing her hands with "What if Curtis don't love me no more" is some Stepin Fetchit shît and it's starting to get to me. There has GOT to be a middle ground for black folks on daytime in 2023 that isn't the whitewashed tediousness of the Winters on Y&R and whatever the hell they have Marshall and Stella doing.

And the actor who plays Marshall is really not up to task of making any of his material more than what's on the page. Or maybe I just hate his voice.

This 'Spencer being the only one to care about Cam/Spencer being the bad guy' bullshit makes even less sense then Ron Carlivati's writing. And making Trina an idiot isn't gonna help at all either. 

I also find it hilarious that the traumatized revenge porn victim is now the biggest whore in Port Charles. At this point, she should start charging Dex for her services.

Seriously, WTF are they thinking in the GH writers room?

Nothing. There's never been a point besides their having slightly more interest in Curtis than Taggert.

[Faulkner]

Just putting this in the right thread since May is officially over. Happy Pride!

Scenes with two hot guys... completely ruined.

Sighhhh

I don't like Joss' personality any more than anyone else on here but she slept with one dude hours before breaking up with her college bf out of shame over it. She's not exactly Brooke Logan or even Carly, who was the sexual mascot of Jake's in her prime. We can ding the writing that tries to whitewash Joss' behavior without burning her on a pyre as a whore IMO.

I'll admit I have a week-plus to catch up on. It's a struggle getting through days upon days of 1) The Same Black Storyline We Had For the Last Dude (it's true, Shawn had literally the same background story as Curtis for years), 2) Willow the Undying, 3) Carly and Drew's Bestselling Book "(If) We Did It", and finally 4) Esme Doesn’t Want to Pay Rent Because She Had Amnesia.

What's with Eden's fake smile in those pics?

Joss isn't a whore in any true sense of the word but I truly believe any other character would have been raked over the coals for such behavior.  The show makes it seem like Joss was right because Cameron was boring her?  Not hot enough in the sack?   Joss just skated by on very questionable behavior and that is very annoying.

[Vee]

Extremely! I can't stand how they play it. But acting like she's been [!@#$%^&*] half the town for years is off to me.

[carolineg]

True.  I hate Joss because she is awful not because she's an actual whore lol.

Maybe I got carried away

I just hate this storyline so much. And I really, really hate when awful people keep getting rewarded for their awful behavior. Both in real life and in fiction. It’s not right. Say what you will about Sonny and Carly, but they’ve at least somewhat paid for their awful behavior. Not as much as they should but it was still more than this.

How can anyone treat someone that they claim to care about so terribly? And then just not care at all about that person or what they did to them? Over at Days, I hated it when Ciara did it to Theo and I hated it when Craig did it to Nancy. But Joss is worse than the two of them put together.

It’s like she not even human. I find her to be even worse than Carly. I know Carly has problems being a decent person too, but she would never treat the people that she says she cares about the way that Joss treated Cam and now to a lesser extent, Spencer and Michael. And honestly, I want Joss to suffer worse than any person on GH ever has. 

I have absolutely no idea what the writers, or Frank are thinking with the way this storyline is being written. And do they seriously think that this consolation prize crap of Cam going to play soccer for Stanford (and Trina constantly reminding us of it) makes everything better?

It doesn’t.

Believe me I get your point I was just agreeing with @Vee that she's technically not a whore not that she's a good person lol.  Joss never looks like the bad guy and doesn't have any repercussions for terrible actions.   If any other character did this to someone they claimed to love Joss would be the first in line to vilify them.  Instead Joss is given a pass because the relationship with Cam was struggling, although Cam didn't think so lol.  She's a horrible human being and I can't stand her, but Cam really is better off without her.  I don't think Stanford is a consolation prize, but it's certainly better than him hanging around town mooning after Joss.

[Darn]

This is more than a little much.
