I can assure you StevieM is not a troll (I don't remember anything he's done that's "trolly" in the last 20+ years, even going back further to the late 90's at Dustin's DOOL page message board....Days cafe or something like that, I forget LOL), and calling him that because you disagree with his takes was unnecessary. We can't go around constantly calling people trolls for simply posting "unpopular" opinions.

Thanks Toups!!  I appreciate the kind words.

I never actually posted at Dustin's message board, and didn't realize that he had one.  But I did read his page, along with Beth's page.  The place where I started posting was the Coffeerooms.  I think that our page there was called Todays, but we usually just called it the Coffeerooms.  I believe you were Jim Reilly Jr. over there. 

Then there were a couple other sites we were both on, Turtle Run and Soap City.  And maybe you occasionally stopped by the Connotator, the Jack and Jen page.  Of course, we probably got to know each other originally on Channa's page.  That was where you first came of age as a reporter.

OMG Those places.  hahahaha.  Yes, I meant the Coffeerooms... I knew it was coffee related.  Dustin didn't have his own boards but had a link to Coffeeroom.....I think.  Wow.  Blast from the past.  My days before SON was created.  LOL  Thanks for the laugh.

@carolineg is an insightful, engaging poster who is a passionate fan of the show. It’s not fair to insinuate that she has any history of going out of her way to cause trouble as some others may do. It was a simple case of needing to agree to disagree that may have gone a bit far. Things can be easily misconstrued in written format, that’s all. 

Anyway, I guess it’s reflective of how much people are enjoying this show right now when this thread veers off like this, lol.

Just an observation. When people do not know each other & a specific minority opinion is stated & restated, essentially taking a very dead horse & beating it to death again & again, then, it can happen that it can seem as if people are, in fact, being trolled. That it can be in error, well, when gentle souls say sorry & cool, & all fine now, there's no reason to then beat that to death.

Aww, thanks guys for the support!  But I do apologize if I offended anyone including @StevieM.   I guess I just have really strong thoughts on Molly/Kristina/TJ's deceased baby.

Somebody’s gotta fall on their sword for Ava to make it out of this.

I think the recast was unnecessary and not a good fit. If Frank was so desperate to have him they could have made him Steven Webber.

I like Kristen Vaganos and Charles Measure so I’m glad they’ve been locked into contracts. Not sure how they’ll make Brennan work long term but I like him and Carly.

    • Lois's return has been a bust. So disappointing that the writers have never written for her. As with Tracy, the pool of GH vets is so thin, there's no one to pair her with. Doubtful they would go to the trouble of properly recasting a legacy character and then sticking  him with Lois; they're obviously not that invested. If she wants to be on this show, it'll be as a noisy grandma who stays in the background. 
    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that films like Steel Magnolias were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore.
