GH Unpopular Opinions Thread

* Tracy and JE are like fingernails on a blackboard to me. I've felt that way since the first time I watched the show about 26 years ago. No appeal to me whatsoever.

* I wish the Cassadines died with the 1980s, never to return.

* It bothers me for some reason that in order for Patrick to cut Robin some slack about her HIV status and how she's lived her life, he has to face the fear of infection himself. It's like he thought she was just making excuses until it happened to him and now it's not bogus. :rolleyes:

* Lainie is a bore. Where's Kevin Collins when you need an interesting, dysfunctional shrink? :P

* I liked Stephen Martines better than Tyler Christopher.

* Alexis drives me up the wall. Very annoying character.

* I don't miss Jax at all.

* If there were no returned Scorpios on the show, I wouldn't have started taping it again. Will probably stop if/when they leave since the rest of the show bores me as much now as it did a couple of years ago when I quit.

* At least give Noah something to do that doesn't involve his son. Pair him back with Bobbie, who hasn't been seen since Noah was sick. Since neither character is on full time, do a B story, or a C story, whatever.

Okay folks. Don't hurt me and here it goes:

I LOVE all of Robin's romances: Stone, Jason, Patrick and the potential of Robin and Nik. JASON will always be my favorite with Robin and to me, they will always be soulmates BUT I can be happy if Robin is with Patrick or Nikolas.

I like Kelly Monaco but find Sam to be whiny and co-dependant. I always tell my SO that she's either whining, crying or dying.

I think Steve Burton is a better actor than Maurice Bernard. I also think Rick Hearst is a better actor than Maurice Bernard.

I hate Carly but I think Laura Wright is doing a good job.

I like Georgie and Dillon and I think Lulu is a bit of a brat.

I wish we could have more Mac Scorpio in something other than a supporting role. He is tragically underused and his Scorpio connection SHOULD have him on the screen way more often than he is. There is more than one story that screams for Mac involvement.

I will support the Lucky/drug storyline if it is used to eventually add depth and layers to Liz, Lucky and their relationship. Otherwise, it just seems like a plot device to do the partner switcheroo...

I am now and have always been a Billy Warlock/AJ fan. I thought he was a scapegoat for a lot of stuff and deserved more support for his alcoholism and addictions.

I don't really like Holly.

I don't really think GH is in such horrible shape right now. I am enjoying it a lot more than AMC.

I don't really care about the Metro Court.

I think Scrubs are the best thing GH has going for it right now, and Kimberly and Jason are two of GH's top actors.

Laura Wright is amazing as Carly, reminds me so much of Sarah's Carly at times.

Maurice is a very overrated actor, and I haven't felt Sonny has served any purpose on GH in a very long time.

Love Liz and Jason

Hate Lucky and Maxie

Kirsten Storms is overrated as well, I hate her Maxie and wish Robyn Richards was still in the role

The Lucky/Maxie stuff is just plain stupid and makes absolutely no sense

  • Member

The show is terrible, it's hard to watch such an amazing show turn into this.

- I hate Sam with a passion. I'll be a fulltime viewer again if she's killed off..her character is boring, overrated, and ON ALL. THE. TIME. Kelly Monaco isn't that amazing of an actress either.

- Jason and Sam are the worst couple, bascially ever.

- Alexis and Ric has gotten boring, ever since Sam stepped into the picture, and they got married (well switch that)

- Sonny is a horrible character, this bipolar storyline is horrible

- I'm glad Sonny and Emily are toast

- I LOVE Nikolas and Emily

- I love Laura Wright/Carly, but so not looking foward to Sonny/Carly

- Lucky is ruined, forever.

- Jason/Liz should get together

- Patrick/Robin are so boring. I wish Carly and Patrick hooked up

- It's such sad, sad thing that Skye/Lorenzo were ruined.

- Every teen bothers me. Even Dillon

  • Member
I don't really like Holly.

You know, it's funny...back in the day, before Anna came on the scene, Holly didn't bother me. I wasn't crazy about her but she didn't annoy me either. But when kick-ass Anna came along and became my favorite female ever on any soap, I found Holly insufferably whiny and simpery. Granted, they didn't write her that way this time around but she still annoyed me.

-Laura Wright is HUGELY overrated. Yes, she's good but she's not THAT fuckin' good.

-I hate JaSam with a passion.

-I really have no interest in Robert and the espionage stuff.

-I HATE Luke and Tracy's stupid marriage. I don't find their stupid "spanky buns" crap funny, amusing or entertaining.

-I hate Alice.

-I don't like Epiphany. She's a walking cliche.

-Georgie is my favorite teen. Liked her with Dillon a while back, but now they're boring.

-I prefer Diego to Dillon.

- The thing about Scott Clifton is... there are so many of him out there. It's only monumental because he was a teen actor (isn't he like 20 now?) who could act on a soap. Usually teen roles are filled by 25 year old men and women with bodies to die for and looks that kill... and can't act worth a damn.

- Epiphany IS a walking cliche. But I have to admit, everytime I see her on screen, I'm like, "There goes Rebecca DeMournay" the character she played on Seinfeld all those years ago... where she played the same type of character.

- If given the chance, Jason Thompson will eclipse Maurice Benard and usurp his position. Thompson's dark and charming with a touch of brooding intensity -- but he's also taller, younger and more inviting than Benard. Shows more layers.

More of mine.

- Jason Thompson is the best male actor on General Hospital currently, even better than Rick Hearst (Tony Geary doesn't count cause he's not currently on)

- Jason and Robin sparkle together still, I love Patrick and Robin, Nikolas and Robin, and Jason and Robin

- Kimberly McCullough's Robin has the best chemistry with males on the show (Steve Burton, Jason Thompson, Tyler Christopher, Rick Springfield)

- Robert Scorpio and Tracy Quartermaine should be together, but if not Robert Scorpio and Alexis Davis should be.

- Ephiphany sucks

- Needs to be more focus on the Cassadines.

Are you sure SC is 20? I could have sworn I read he's 26? Maybe I'm thinking of someone else though.

Unpopular opinions about General Hospital: Well since you asked:

1)First of all,I loved Robyn Richards as Maxie. But Kirsten Stroms is doing a good job as new Maxie. She said she didn't want to play a sweet boring girl like she did on Days and Guza/Pratt/ABC/Disney have accomindated her and she has delivered.

2)The day does NOT belong to CBS if The Young and the Restless keeps getting beat at the Daytime Emmy's by General Hospital considering the current shape GH is in.

3)Yes there is way too much influence about the mob in general and one well known mobster in particular with the stories on General Hospital as we all well know but does anyone really want a storyline like The Ice Princess played out again?

4)I don't know about you but I'm down with Natalia Livingston winning a Daytime Emmy for best young actress.

5)No soap should SORAS a young character but it worked with GH SORASing Lulu. Julie Berman IS going to win next's year Emmy for best young actress in a soap without question.

6) What I want to see is Carly,Sam,Robin,Elizabeth,Emily,Maxie,Georgie,and Lulu all go down to that bar they go to for another girl's night out and have them all get drunk and have them tell us how they really feel about everything!

7) I know that because of legal problems between them that Disney/ABC and Lesli Kay parted company. But I still want to know why Wally Kurth pretty much vanished from the scene and why Adrianne Leon was so underused on the show and then left for the rival CBS soap The Young and the Restless so soon?

8) Tristan Rogers came back 15 years too late.

9)I didn't like how they killed off Justus,but he wasn't all that important character anyway. It seems the show doesn't like black actors in general and black male actors in particular.

10)I don't miss Vanessa Marcil at all and you can take that to the bank.

11)No offense to anyone really,but I kind of knew the Lucas-is-gay storyline would go over like a lead balloon. The producers of the show(And the perhaps the network) didn't follow through with the storyline.

12)I would wish Elizabeth's sister, Sarah, would come back to the show one day.

13)Is this Guza and Pratt's sad joke concerning how they feel about women when you have the Quartemaine's butler,the hospital's head nurse Epihany,and the Cassadine's nanny, Colleen, all on the show?

14)Colleen is kind of cute,in an offbeat way.

15)Anna and her violent greeting to poor Robert on that island a few months ago was totally unneccessary really.

16)John Ingle should have stayed at Days Of Our Lives.

17)He has more energy than most fellows his age,but unless he is given a storyline of significanse Tony Geary should retire.

18)Despite how bad it is these days, General Hospital is still more interesting than Guiding Light or Passions which may not be saying much.

19)I miss Kristina Wagner.

20)Laura Wright. This is Springfield calling you. Telling you to come back home. You are not needed in Port Charles playing or misplaying the character of Carly Roberts. Come back home. All is forgiven.

I like this. Can we have a chance to say unpopular opinions about other soaps in the near future?

-My favorite moment on GH was when AJ slapped Courtney in the face.

-Forever loving AJ, Zander, Stefan, and all the other chars. destroyed.

-Alexis is my favorite character of all time.

-I HATE Elizabeth.

  • Member

I like Jill Farren Phelps. I'm serious. I do. Always have. :mellow:

  • Member

-The more I watch LW play Carly, the more I hate her (Carly). I never did before, but now that LW is playing her it just burns my eyes to watch. LW is not a bad actress, but she plays Carly as not having any depth. The only reason she is the "centerpiece" is because Guza put her there. She doesn't deserve to be there.

-I hate Jasam, but I like Jason and I like Sam. Separately. I like Jason by himself and I like Sam and Alexis' dynamic. That could be a great story, given the chance.

-I can't stand Liz or Lucky. I miss JJ as Lucky.

-I hate Epiphany. I don't care if Patrick, Robin, or Noah are acting like 5-yr-olds--you shouldn't talk to your superiors that way.

-I love Noah. Rick Springfield can act circles around MB anyday. The fact the MB gets an Emmy nod every year just baffles me.

-I don't like Alexis that much, but NLG is a fantastic actress.

-I like Maxie, but I hate Georgie. Georgie/Dillon make me want to scratch my eyes out and stick hot pokers in my ears.

-That TBTB expect me to believe that Patrick would lust after Carly is ridiculous.

-Despite how much I hate Carly, I believe she should be with Sonny.

-Sonny/Brenda was completely overrated. I've had a more mature relationship in grade school.

-Kimberly McCollough and Jason Thompson by far have the best chemistry/best acting on the show.

-Yes, Scrubs is the end-all-be-all of GH and no one can convince me otherwise.

i hate liz and alexis i think GV sucks has lucky i love sam and think KM is a good actress i could careless about patrick and robin and robert scorpio return is a big let down and i think steve burton sucks ass has a actor

  • Member

More from me! Such fun!! :D

- I love Liz and I think Becky Herbst is marvelous!

- Natty Livingston is too reserved in EVERY single performance she has.

- I adore Nikolas and think Tyler Christopher is the unsung hero at GH, and probably will stay in Maurice and Steve's conglomerate shadow because he's quite graceful and humble.

- John Ingle's gettin' OLD!

- M'Fundo Morrison should've been gone ages ago -- and as a black person myself, I'm amazed I even think that -- but he never made sense as Justus... and I don't think I ever forgave him for making love to Faith while he wore a black T-shirt. Who the hell does that?!
