Welp, Daddy Overton is dirty

Its messy but they have more chemistry than Ashley

He's being a good husband. If I got punched in public, nearly shot and had to deal with what Hayley has, Id expect mine to do the same. She's also been advocating on his behalf as we saw in the past week with his daughters. This is what people do in a partnership

Yet he doesn't say sh*t about her always in those people's faces. She's lucky that's all they've done.

 

Now he's whining that she's being treated like the POS she is by the people at the country club


WTH did he expect???

Basic Ashley is the worst. Honestly, I don't think any backstory would save this character and this actor. She feels like someone with almost no personality, no matter who she talks to.

 

If they're purposely writing Derek badly, they need to stop. It should have been clear by the end of month one that it's not working.

The difference between Derek and Ashley is that Ashley is given "normal" conversation and dialogue. When Derek speaks, I want to say "Huh? Are you a human?" and I put that as much on the writing as on the actor.

 

I don't see it. At all.

    • Y'all could be right that it wasn't Henry Slesar.  But I think it's mighty strange that Russell Kubeck popped in as head writer with seemingly no previous writing credits or experience, then vanished into thin air once Somerset bit the dust.  And when you look at the subject matter of those last 6 months of Somerset combined with Slesar's previous tenure there under his own name --- I dunno.  
    • I think there are, they just don't usually get as much of the spotlight. This has long been an issue with GH. It's a little better now than at some points in the past. Lulu at least gets called out for her mess, and Kristina, etc. although in Kristina's case she's just exhausting to watch, and the story is directionless (the biggest issue with the show).
    • It's tiimmmmmmmmmmmmmeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Aw Hell no...not Silk Press Sheila trying to suck up to Mona.   Yaayyyy!!! Nosy Nurse!!!   NICOLE!!!   Andre looking FOINE in that vest.    NOPE to NuTed in that coat. Tbf that started off that way. I do wonder if that will continue to be an issue going forward.   Same. I really would love if it kept going.
    • The ratings the last few months seemed to hover between the high 4s and mid 5s with an occasional off week when it would almost hit 6.0. Ironically the last week the show was on the air, it did hit 6.2 so it proved that people were available to watch the show.. but had fallen off due to the constant change in focus. It's possible that maybe the final writer was Henry Slesar considering the more crime slant the show took in the final months... but why work against your other show.
    • I have some catching up to do, so I'll come back with more later, but I am watching yesterday's episode... Andre/Derek/Ashely have not sat well with me since day 1, and I can't believe I'm going to say this...but if two had to go, I would pick Ashley and Andre. I cringed at Andre blowing smoke up Ashley's ass and making it seem like she couldn't possibly have done anything wrong to drive Derek away and that if he was in Derek's place, he would never walk out on Ashley because Ashley is just so flawless

      Like whhhhaatttt? The girl is sitting there with a mountain of tissues crying over a basic argument that she could easily pick up the phone and end. Sean Freeman's acting choices bother me a bit...they have from the beginning which makes me dislike the character even more. I don't get Andre's obsession with an overgrown "Miss Perfect" like Ashley. Ashley reminds me of the good girl that grew up super sheltered and tried to do well at everything and wanted everything to be a certain way. She's bland. Mama is as spicy as warm milk yet Andre is all over that. Then he's always exhaling that last word and scrunching up his nose and pouting his lips in his Mr. Rogers sweaters and it just makes me mad. 
    • Exactly, the jacket was choking him while he sat on the desk. He's giving early Gary Ewing.
    • Yes, that is what I was asking you!!! Do you think primetime or a movie will snap him up? I always enjoyed the live music on DAYS. In similar fashion I am open to liking the NB although sometimes it disappointed in the effort but this year has been so satisfying. 
    • Seriously, are there any rootable characters on this show? Are the head writers writing the show so we can hate every one of them? I hate Lulu. The bitch should've stayed in a coma. Willow still looking dumb as hell. I can't wait for Nina's secret of sleeping with Drew to come out. I hate her too.
    • I don't believe for one minute that Henry was Russell. I watched Somerset from the time Roy Winsor then Robert J. Shaw took over and the only period that was interesting or watchable was when I believe Winifred Wolfe was head or co head and introduced Dale (Ellen affair) and someone was harming/murdering older folks. Then it was terrible. The last six months was a slight improvement over the prior six months but nowhere near Henry quality. I also don't believe P&G would have put him on a competing time slot show.  There is a Russ Kubeck born in 1952 from Connecticut but he would have likely been too young to get a head writing stint. Plus, Henry wouldn't have chosen that name as an alias. Look at his Wikipedia page for all the aliases he used.  The real Russ may have been the 1952 Russ's father and used his middle name. Also I believe Kubeck may have been a name changed from Kupecky or Kubecky.  Many changed their names during the Wars etc.
