Lucky drug Storyline was supposed to be GV emmy storyline, GV was so happy to do that storyline. Unfortunately for him, it was Guza with no other headwriter written that story. TG only like JJ as Lucky, KM was in contract negotiating, it was like a year or two after she did Dancing with the Stars and that storyline with Ric was her possibly getting written out and that meant Jason had to be with someone so pretty soon it stop being about Lucky drug addiction after getting hurt storyline, became about just graduated high school Maxie manipulating Lucky, to Jason is a hero to Elizabeth is just the worse isn't she storyline. Lucky was nowhere to be found.

Maybe Brook Lynn can to have some bullshit tumor discovered, just like Franco, to excuse her acting immature. Too bad that Nelle "died" and BL couldn't kidnap, look her in a dog crate and force her to sign away her maternal rights. Of course, she would have a better reason for doing that to Nelle, than Franco had for imprisoning Tom.
The show never gives Liz and BH a fair shake, even 20 years of solid work. She will be fine for awhile, working as a nurse and being a mother, then they will have her lose her shit and have an affair with Lucky's brother Nik behind his back and after accepting Lucky'a proposal or keeping Drew's identity a secret from him (when the DNA test came back he was Jason) in order to keep him away from Sam. I remember in the aftermath of Nik/Liz affair coming out when Liz was begging Lucky for another chance and Lucky said something along the lines that she needed to fix what ever causes her to act out this way, and that was the only worthwhile scene in that seedy storyline. The Tom Returns storyline should have been that for her, but TPTB (while there were two women head writers no less) decided to have Franco front and center for that storyline with Liz playing second fiddle. Her "happiness" with Franco is the TPTB desire to make Franco work, so the show won't examine much of anything about the relationship and make everyone just fine with her dating and then marrying him.
I hated the Niz story line and it made hate Lucky when he said to Liz something like you were only good in the aftermath of your rape, go back to that. Good for JJ getting his emmy I guess.
Hated the Drew one because Elizabeth didn't need to know about it since Nick and I forgot who else already knew, but instead of those people being the bad guy, got to have Liz be the bad one and get Sam to be in her face about it.

Which is a shame. Does she not enter like Jane Elliot?
I think what happen back in the those days, the shows choose who they would submit for each category and they had limited spot (two per category). And their was always other actresses ahead of her after she age out of the younger actress category.

What is going on with Clare Crawley calling out guys that were to be on her season?
If you are doing interviews and creating Cameo accounts before you are even on my season... you are in it for the wrong reasons... #dontwasteyourtime
And Ashley Spivey then tweeted that 10 white men were doing the same thing and didn't get called out. I am so confused. Apparently, some people think it is about Matt James.
Anyone know the scoop??
From what I've read Matt James did an Interview and Cameo (I think that an apps) for charity and Claire tweeted this

So Ali and Rachel are having Peter on their podcast, with ABC’s blessings. Hope that doesn’t mean he’s the next lead. He’d be ok but I am on the Tyler train.

Maggie and Jackson is so forced. There is absolutely no chemistry between them. I cringe every time they have a 'moment'. I really do hope this storyline will come to an end now!
They are the new Merder, they will never end, unless they decide to skill Jackson. The show is so desperate to get the viewers to like them and to like her they will keep forcing it until the show can't make ABC money anymore

It also doesn't look like Maggie and Jackson took the hint when, they tried to make move on each other, blood rained down on them. Most people would consider that a sign....
I'm sure the head writer consider it a sign of love and that they are soulmate.

In other respect Wiliam and Harry had a harder childhood because their parents' affairs became public. To Diana winning Charles seems to have been so important that she didn't think what quarrelling with him in public would mean to their sons.
Story is Diana's used to tell William, a a child about her issues.

Charles wants to limit the number of working royals to his siblings and their spouses (where appropriate) and then his kids. He doesn't want more of William and Harry's generation to be getting money from the civil list (it doesn't exist anymore, but for simplicity's sake, I'll use that term), partly to save money and partly I think because he feels it "modernizes" the royal family by having more of them out in the world making their own way, as it were.
The streamlining has been happening for a while. It really affects only the York princesses at the moment, as Anne's kids aren't royal, and Edward's are too young. The older generation will reduce its workload naturally, and their kids have never been expected to pitch in anyway, as they're not royals. (George V saw to that when he restricted who would get the HRH: children of the Sovereign, the male line grandsons of the Sovereign, and the eldest living son of the eldest son of the Prince of Wales. Because of that last one, the queen had to make a special Letter of Patent so that Charlotte, and any other children of William, and Harry's kids would be a princess/prince and get the HRH.)
Whew.
HRH only to William's Children

From @Scatterbrained's post in the 14.08 thread...
I agree completely. If they were truly serious about Jackson and Maggie, this would have been a long time coming (and, honestly, they would work to quell the whiffs of incest, not magnify them.)
I will admit that I sometimes get the timeline on this show confused, but Richard and Catherine were married when Maggie was introduced, right? And we knew very early on that Richard was Maggie's biological father. Honestly, if they wanted to make Maggie and Jackson a thing, they needed to start finessing things very early on--like when Jackson discovers that Maggie is his kinda/sorta step-sister (I can't even remember when he realized that...) And I get it that we are dealing with two different show runners but, honestly, that's not an excuse. A new showrunner coming in does not give her or him the authority to rewrite a show's history.
The way the idea of Jackson and Maggie was introduced, as you mentioned, was an out of the blue comment from April. Was I the only person who saw *nothing* between Jackson and Maggie up to that point? Yes, he was supportive during her mother's cancer (and strangely involved for plastic surgeon) , but that actually DID come of as very sibling-like to me. I honestly thought that Maggie's mother's death, and Jackson's support for Maggie, was actually going to lead to Maggie forming a sort of "new" family with Richard and Jackson (and Catherine). I didn't see, and do not see, how we got from that point to this point.
I miss the days of Grey's when they took the time and care to develop these romantic relationships. Even though I didn't like all of them, I appreciated how well they are done. Now we have a show that makes jokes about (albeit non-existent) incest and how to get around it.
Maggie came on at the end of season 10, Cristina interviewed her. She had a big pointless centric episode early on season 11.
She was there before Richard and Catherine got married.

*So, speaking of how I define "chemistry" and an example of bad chemistry....
Writing - Trying to convince the audience that a Jackson/Maggie relationship is incest, when it actually isn't (icky, yeah...but not incest). WHY WOULD THEY DO THIS?33 minutes ago, LaughingOne said:It feels like the show is actually trying to get us to root against them as a couple.
I think they want us to root for Maggie and Jackson. I think the writers are just doing the siblings jokes b/c of the big ew no reactions that happen last season on social media. Its suppose to be a way to get audience to get over it, but it doesn't seem to be working. Jesse and Kelly aren't that good of actors, and I don't think Jesse is even trying.

Well, we never actually got to see what happened, but whatever it was, he ended up in much worse shape than her. I know we were supposed to be on her side in that instance, but the way it was all glossed over and swept under the rug didn't leave a good impression on me.
I started watching Grey's again right when she beat him, so it didn't leave a good impression
And the very next season, she told Callie she has put 3 men in hospitals.
11 hours ago, dmc said:They almost never write her sympathetic. Every time she is in a storyline she is the jerk. I can’t tell if it’s intentional or not.
Poor Alex, He’s either stuck in a storyline with Jo Or an afterthought to Meredith.
I think we are supposed to see her as a strong woman or at least root for her as someone who can make Alex happy without the writers actually writing something for Alex.
It the only reason why she's the only one who survive from that intern class. Its not because Camilla is a good actress. They should have kept Shane and crazy Leah instead of her.

I feel like they’ve waited so long to pull the trigger on this (last season not withstanding cause of the actors pregnancy) because they wanted the audience to be emotionally invested enough in Jo to make it work...and at this point people just want it to happen cause they keep talking about it. Hopefully they pull this off.
I could never care for Jo and Alex after she beat Peckwell (I think that was his name) almost to death.

And because of this, even female-led Shondaland isn't immune to misogyny. Isaiah Washington was welcomed back years later after being heinous to a fellow cast member with his words and outing said cast member, thus getting fired for it. Katherine Heigl speaks her mind about material she was getting, which I understand in a business full of narcissists from top to bottom was not the smartest move, and she all but gets ex-communicated. Shonda can be very petty, and she clearly holds Heigl more accountable for her situation than she ever did Isaiah. I actually think that the Isaiah firing was more of a call from the network and not Shonda.
I feel like Meredith won her Harper Avery too soon. I agree with those who've expressed how fast it all happened, and I think this is something that would've been better served towards the end of the series. Now there's not really anywhere for Meredith to go career-wise, she already got the crowning achievement. I just feel like they took away a great professional storyline opportunity to really see Meredith work on something long-term to get her to the grand prize.
Isaiash did more than say something heinous to a cast member, he tried to choke another cast member.

Krista sure seems to be. She's been shading the writing on twitter quite a bit and it's not even that subtle. I wonder how her co-writers and her co-showrunner William Harper feel about that.
7 hours ago, moonorchid said:It’s not subtle at all. She’s definitely making her opinions known but then likes to act oblivious about it.
I don't know why she's shading the writing. She used a tumor to recon/explain away things she doesn't like. That not a good writer, that one of the worse part of soap opera writing.

They are contrived, with no chemistry and what worse the two actors cannot act but for agenda purposed (like the soaps fans like to say) I ship them.

Lol, it doesn't matter, the writers have made it know since last season that the viewers were going to be loving Jackson and Maggie, especially Maggie..... They are their new Merder, Slexie. Except Jaggie has no chemistry and portrays by two terrible actors.
I'm all for Jaggie for the the simple fact that it keep April away from that jackass

Maggie and Jackson are related by marriage and in some countries that consider incest.
Incest laws is not only applied to people with blood relation.

Book vs Show: What did Jenny Han say about this?
in The Summer I Turned Pretty
· Edited by gator12
I haven't read the books but from what some book readers say Jeremiah was always the most likable brother, Conrad was worse in the books than in the show.
This TikTok user have some post where she would bring up pages from the books to talk about the characters. She doesn't like Conrad
https://www.tiktok.com/@corinnieeeee
ETA: The books sounds terrible and I don't know if I should bother with season 3
