GH Soapbox

I'm completely sick of this twisted reversal crap Guza and Co. keeps trying to shove down our throats.

I am watching the episode where Sonny has just threatened Carly that he'd try to take full custody of Michael so he can send him to the 5-star facility. Then a bit later, Jason shows up to have his say as well.

This is typical of GH. Let's make the males who are in the WRONG (Mobsters/Killers/Manipulators/ETC) ethically, and have them basically attack a GRIEVING MOTHER.

Sonny and Jason, the (wannabe) mobsters who go around ordering/conducting hits on people, etc, etc.. the REASON why Michael was shot in the friggin' head in the first place.... are now attacking a grieving mother because maybe, just maybe, she's making a mistake on how her son should be cared for. They're saying, in a round about way, that she's being a horrible mother - doing something that could have horrible repercussions on her other child.

UM HELLO. Sonny, what YOU ARE DOING -- you know, all that stuff Michael would spout out to you before being shot in the head --- THAT maybe.. just maybe, might have horrible repercussions on your child(ren). Don'tcha think?

From what I hear around the web, this style of writing comes from the source, Guza and his posse of Q-killing-explosion-loving writers.

Where. Are. The. Female. Writers?

Spinelli = Jason
Maxie = Carly

Maxie: Do something for me RIGHT NOW DO IT DO IT YOU HAVE TO SAVE MY ASS!!
Spinelli: *dumb founded look* ok.

Yep.

Alright so.. i'm watching today's episode and not paying too much attention. My bf walks by and hears something and says:

Did she just say "Dunkin' Donuts by the ear?"

I laugh! Yea right.. I rewind..

Nadine said:

"..trying to dunk a donut by the ears"

WHAT. Who the hell wrote THAT?

So they're standing on the edge of the building.. leaning out over the side. Yes yes we get that they're the wild ones who laugh in the face of dancer. We get it.

That aside..

I liked those two acting with each other!

This was probably the FIRST TIME in the last what, 6 months, that I liked any scene whateverhisname (Johnny) has been in.

Anyway, nothing constructive to say here.

TMK moment - he's looking over photos of the characters that have been attacked - interesting they put Emily in there when I'm really convinced that it wasn't the TMK that killed her. I still think they should have it be Helena.

I finally got around to watching Friday's episode.

Sam sure did a number on the TMK didn't she. So whoever it is should be pretty bruised up eh?

Sam got hit by a car; either an emotional Carly, drunk Monica, or tired Elisabeth. It'll be Monica.

I gotta say, right up there with who-dunnit murder stories, amnesia arcs, baby daddy stories... are the "oh it was rainy so we both had to get our clothes dried.. oh oops.. someone came by and they think we were doing the naughty together but in fact we were saintly..." situations.

Seriously? Are these writers just out of school? And by school I mean, high-school.

Ok Kate in a robe I can understand, Jax - no. He's at his OWN HOUSE. He could have just changed into another set of clothing. Hell he could have given Kate some of Carly's clothes...

of course, this is normal behavior for humans outside of SoapWorld - I know. But it'd be nice if for once some realism seeped back into GH.

I used to tell people that GH was not like any other soap. It had REAL stories and REAL actors. They didn't typically do the crazy, stereotypical stories. Yes they have some doozies.. but it was done well.

Anyway..

What makes me watch right now?
Liz and Jason
Luke if he's doing anything interesting
oh and I guess to see Sarah Brown as Claudia - tho all I can see her as is Carly. Which is really weird right now.

PAINful.

"Oh hi strange man. Oh this house? No I don't live here.. matter of fact nobody is here right now. I'm all alone and this house, the one you're oddly interested in, is empty. Please feel free to either attack me or rob the house."

Carly is a nutjob.

I don't like this Jax anymore.

I looove Tracy's new hair. Tracey or Tracy? whatev. She looks like a rich Q now! I like. I like.

LuluJohnnyLogan.. BORING. Actually I'd like to see Logan get a different story for awhile.. I mean what else does he do? WHERE does he get his money? The Army doesn't give you that much... c'mon give the guy a job. If my Sims characters can have jobs and have dramatic lives so can soap characters.

blahblahSAMblahblah who does her hair? Its like.. "hmm lets try this floopy here.. swish it here.. pin it up here..

blah.

fauxJax is kind of cool but not as Jax, they should bring him back down the road when people had forgotten him.. he's kind of like William Dafoe (sp?)

Does Liz live next door to the hospital? Who RUNS off with your kid.. you wait until FIREMEN are there. They're trained too.. geez.
blah.

heh old jax could pair with tracy ;)

omg don't drop that laptop!! haha that would scare me too ..

blah blah lulu blah blah monkville

why doesn't she hit the doorknob? she'd break it eventually.. maybe. whatever.

hmm... johnny said "hey hey- enough" in defense of spinelli when logan called him a freak. interesting.

pfft. Bomb story is kind of interesting. hey at least sam tried something good for a second by telling liz to leave..

Seriously.. could we get a writer (scab or official) to write some decent material for Liz?

Carly gets the biting snippy shots at Liz and slaps her.. yes Liz is being a better person for not slapping back and going all stereotypical soap opera slap-fest on Carly's ass, but she really should have some better material to work with.

Tired of Sam. Everytime she pops up on screen I end up saying "Bitch" to my tv screen. Kelly is doing a DAMN good job of being a soap bitch - frankly it's her calling. Sam should have been like this from the get-go.

When will Helena show up and take her under her wing? Sam would love the power - Helena would love to have someone (like she wanted Nik awhile back) to control...  it would be juicy!

Luke and Fam - funnyish.. cute.. I fear it's going to be the same thing over and over again...

Liz and Lucky - Zzzzz Is there a point to their conversation?

Diane / Alexis getting their noms - Diane was fun, Alexis a wee over the top. Seems like something she wouldn't be so crazed about. But.. it's nice they're getting a little side story.

Nik and Emily - WE GET IT ALREADY. Seriously WHO is enjoying this story??

So.. the Metro Boutique is the only place to go for foofoo dresses and shoes? The damn boutique is only like a year old, where did everyone buy their dresses back in the day for the Nurses Balls.. oh wait, "Windam's" ?

pfft.

Maxie is at least conveying the right mood. Depressed, not really caring.. but 'hey i'm here at work'. If she were cheery and ooh la la about helping Diane find an outfit then... well it would have been "normal GH forgetfulness"

Whoa there..wait a sec..

Continuity Police here! Max and Spinelli in the coffee house while Carly and Jason are chatting in the office. Max leaves Spinelli and goes toward the CLOSED office door....cut to Jason/Carly talking, door open.. where is Max? Or why isn't the door shut. OK so it's not a big deal.. whatever.. brush it off.

Is Leyla on the show anymore? Did I boopboopboop over her departure or talk of her departure? Last I saw of her, she was in a wheelchair and witnessed some exchanged between Patrick and Robin and asked to be pushed away.
Oh wait, there she is. HAHA. Nevermind.

Poor Epiphany.. she'll lose Stan and oh but wait, will probably find out that Cassius is her other son. Oh how happy she'll be. Lame.

Ric/Skye: ZZzzzzzz.. lame.. haha oo zexytime music. So who is playin' who?

Maxie/Alexis: How nice of Alexis! Omg Kristina mention!

Nik/Em: Why does Emily need a jacket? This is supposed to be some great love story?

Tracy: "I want to grow old with you-- DON'T even think about it!" haha.. that was funny.

Aw Max took notes about the scarf for Diane.. I like the little background things like that.

How many of these weird almost-death trips will Luke take?

You know, there are times when fans send in things (tissue boxes for Alan/GH, nuts for Jerico.. etc) to get their points across. Heck supporters for Angel protested outside of the studio waybackwhen...

But this, this is a well crafted survey that upon completion will be sent to the head cheeses in charge of GH.

Here's hoping it works.

Please participate, it's a simple few minutes out of your day - matter of fact, do it during your least favorite part of GH.
