Awww. 

 

But to be fair...current GH goes at a snail's pace (and I don't mean slow burn) when it comes to creating couples. I'm lucky that there was not really a wacka wacka vibe to either one though there was attempts at humor. It would be nice if they did just one organically with organic drama rather than a gimmick.

 

I still don't understand how Ric/Ava unravel so quickly.

I am sure it's not a point anymore, but I remember when brain damaged Jason could not read a map or tell directions in the 90's.  When SBu read Britt's instructions I kept thinking he was going to go the entire wrong way. 

And, yeah, I am going with the theory Scout totally shot Drew lol

Maybe Scout shot Drew because at some recent point she overheard him talking on the phone and realized that he is Shiloh, not Drew.

They have been reminding us, quite a lot lately, that Drew was once a great guy.

From what I saw in that operating room, Portia couldn't sabotage OR save a patient on the table. Neither could Lucas.

It was like watching the Keystone Cops play doctor.

The "Who Shot Drew" mystery didn't disappoint. He's become such a smug SOB, and there are so many credible suspects. I'm not sure if I want it to be Scout. It feels predictable at this point, and it's hard to see a kid shooting someone, even their loathsome father, twice. That feels more calculated for an adult. 

Either way, GH has delivered on this story.

But I really wish Liz had her own story. There's barely any mention of her history with Drew and it's all about her sudden one-sided friendship with Willow.

They actually just referenced it recently.  I couldn't believe they acknowledged it, even referring to the fact that she had deceived him.  I agree that it isn't nearly enough, but that was more than I ever expected we would get.  Jake Doe/Franco's friend/Oscar's father seems like an altogether different character than the man who Drew is now, even before he turned evil.

Maybe it’s all in my head, but it feels like there has been a number of moments recently where Drew’s former good guy persona has been mentioned.  Molly mentioned it to Michael, Curtis and Alexis talked with each other about it, BLQ mentioned it, and Tracy talked about what Drew “had become.”  It makes me think this shooting story might be used to redeem the character.  I have this feeling he might wake up and think he is just coming too after being attacked in prison, and be completely stunned when people explain to him all that has happened since then.

I'm frustrated that Emma seems to have been sidelined as the story that was really started when she returned to PC has been hijacked by other characters.  It seems like she is only appearing once every two weeks now

Exactly.  I really hope Drew doesn't get killed off because he's the most interesting character on soaps right now (and has been for many months now).  Every show needs a character like Drew who just creates a ton story.

I'm the opposite. I think Drew is ridiculous and over the top. Nothing interesting about him at all. It's the other characters that are way more interesting with their reactions about him. 

 

I don't know why they made him a Congressman. He hasn't "congressed" a single thing. What's his political affiliation?  He's seems con.....nevermind.

Speak on it. I just saw scenes of them a few days ago and it was so odd to not see their own history in play. Not that I need Drew obsessing over Liz. 

 

As much as I hate this show when it leads into the 'wacka wacka' humor, there been a few times when Drew has leaned into what power he has as a Congressman. His battling with Tracy over the Q crypt. The continuing (?) long-term story of how they are trying to use that amendment/law/proposal with Erza and Sidwell to take on Sonny/Jason is subtly blunt villain manipulation. Not to mention working to get Laura throw out as mayor due to her hero worship and character propping relationship with Sonny.

Yeah, I guess.

I guess it would be alienating to mention a real world issues.

Especially right now. But I get what you mean.

 

As much as I feel it's gone on too long...I believe it was starting when I quit regularly viewing and Erza first appeared...I do (did?) like the long-term planning of Drew letting his always-simmering rivalry with Jason be the throughline to go after Sonny/Jason through (mostly) legal means. Especially since it was touching on the fact that people who realistically shouldn't be (ie Laura, Anna) are always propping Sonny. A mobster. Who killed an FBI agent just a year ago. How? But that's me looking forward nuances when I know better.  Perhaps Erza will take that up since Drew is done for now. But I feel it will vanish.

    • Some of those 1988-ish episodes are up. I'm not really sure she did much else. I think I recall something along the lines of she and Rusty had been suspended over the investigation of Nicky, George's supplier. I'm not sure she even gets some kind of goodbye. I think she just disappeared when Pam Long returned.
    • I did not care, just clarifying that was the discussion point. If there are ice cream bars in Statesville I am sure there is a full spa
    • Seeing Peter Bergman (Jack) and Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki) act opposite each other really makes me mad that their short-lived reunion in 2012 was just that... short-lived. I've always loved the Jack/Nikki pairing.
    • No.  I recall there was also a mention about how distracting it was EOB's Gwen wasn't wearing nail polish as well.  That it was someone's pet peeve. And, yes, the fact characters can have a manicure in prison is the wildest continuity issue here.
    • Can anyone remember Mary Ellen Stuart's run as Jenny? I'm trying to fill in the cracks for missing stuff that we overlooked.  Bulletpoints:  * Dated Ross * Rusty's police partner * Directly responsible for Dinah coming forward about George Stewart (Cam's father)
    • But that's not weird... nail polish is allowed in prisons via commissary. Same with general makeup, haircuts, and hair colouring products.
    • This is DAYS, the show that said you could brainwash anyone with simple kitchen appliances.  An actor's nail polish or lack thereof should be the least of our concerns, lol.
    • It was not that she wasn't wearing nail polish, it is that she managed to get a manicure in prison
    • "We're Knot Done Yet": the name of this lovely podcast AND what JVA tells her plastic surgeon at every appointment. In other news, Michele Lee is reminding me more and more of my old music teacher from elementary school, and I couldn't STAND that bitch.
    • I apologize if this has been covered already, but does anyone know whether Douglas Marland was HW'ing by that point?  If he was, then I see what he meant when he said (in so many words) that he had inherited a mess when he started at GH.  Aside from Alan and Monica, none of that material seems very promising.  The story with Mark Dante and the Corbins is the wrong kind of predictable (y'know, the kind where you know what's going to happen, but you just don't give a crap?), the stuff with Scotty and Laura is cute but toothless, I don't know WHAT the hell Gina and Steve Carlson's character are arguing about and Rick Webber has to be the dumbest man alive not to see David Hamilton twirling his invisible moustache over how to make a killing off Lamont Corbin's declining health.  (By the way, "LAMONT CORBIN"?  What is this, "The Shadow"?  And "Corbin Limited" sounds like some jive I'd hear over on Y&R.) In a way, it's kind of like watching today's GH, right down to the dialogue that's serviceable and pushes plot along but says nothing about the characters' inner lives.
