  1. And AJ, since she did the same damn thing to him that Morgan did to AJ's son. And if he doesn't throw the shit Sonny did to Jax over Joss's paternity into both Sonny and Carly's faces...
  2. Or, if they don't get out before Carly master keys her way into the room, just go ahead and kill her, too. No great loss to society.
  3. I fear what we're going to get is Kiki, Cujo, and Mumbles all ganging up on Morgan over it. Kiki will conveniently forget how gleeful she was in the planning and be all "you went too far, Morgan. He's your brother!"
  4. It wouldn't surprise me if, on the subject of her exit, they were willing to hear her out, as she'd played the character for decades and all, but I don't think they give her any input beyond that, and it wouldn't surprise me if, even if she remained adamant that she wanted Robin killed off, Ron still left it open ended, because it was what he wanted to do. Because, honestly, Ron does not strike me as the type who will hesitate to do exactly what he wants to do, regardless of what anyone else says to him. I think a lot of actors have a point where they'll speak up. Whether they're heard or not is another matter entirely. I really don't think anyone at GH these days has the power to make a change unless they can make it appealing to Ron/Frank. And KMc is definitely not holding the show hostage to her whims. She left with ample notice, she agreed to short term returns where TIIC knew they were only short term. If the show can't handle writing those returns creatively, then they shouldn't do it at all. She's an actress accepting a paying job, it's not her job to tell the show how to write her visits or tell them whether her visits are what's in the best interest of the show. Those decisions are up to Frank and Ron, and they make crappy ones when it comes to the Robin story lines.
  5. I was thinking the same thing. Just treat the character like any other, because that's really the best way to really be inclusive. Let her be a scheming bitch, not because she's transgender, but just because she's a scheming bitch. But the show seems to be kind of afraid to fully go there now. Hell, they can't decide what kind of personality to give her now that her secret is out.
  6. Add in that Patrick and Sam's "happiness" is essentially coming at the expense of Robin's happiness, and it's even more ridiculous. Although I'll disagree about Duke. At this point, he deserves to be found belly up in his litter box.
  7. I'm sure Spinelli's whining will come at approximately the same moment as Nathan is up on stage at the NB in the Magic Milo act, and Ellie and Maxie are both laser focused on his bare chest and abs.
  8. It seems like they still can't decide what Maya's personality is. Some days, she's clearly uncomfortable with Rick's crap with Ally and Ivy. Then, days like today, it's all giggly "you're so bad." Pick a lane!
  9. I think we're probably safe. Ron seems to have lost interest in Sabrina approximately 8 seconds after TC told him she was pregnant. We may get one tiny little bit about how Patrick is on the other end of what happened with him and Sabrina, but this is definitely about Sam, not Sabrina (and, clearly, not Robin).
  10. I would bet that was TB's portrayal, because she wanted out of mob hell.
  11. In Hope's defense, it seems like the one thing she's seen through her entire life is that men waffle all the damn time. At this point, I'd think she assumes that a man will make two entirely different decisions about the same situation depending on what day it is.
  12. No one deserves any of that mess of a family he's been cursed with.
  13. I'd think it gives a decent increase over whatever rerun would normally be shown at that time on a week night. I know that, in our house, it's pretty rare to have DC on during prime time Mon-Thurs unless they're doing this. I also don't think it's solely about the ratings bump for any given night. It's also just a little publicity move to get kids excited about the new season. Since new episodes airing Mon-Thurs isn't something that normally happens, it makes it more of an "event." I'm not saying that the shows aired the other nights are going to get higher ratings than the Friday night showing, just that it will likely get more viewers than a rerun of a Jessie episode they've seen a dozen or so times or a replay of an old DCOM.
  14. I actually think that Cory and Topanga, as adults and parents, are pretty similar to how I would have imagined them. Cory is a little over the top sometimes, but I would be surprised to see a together fully grown up guy. He seems to be mature/serious when he needs to be, but, at his core, Cory is kind of a goofy guy. But, you can also see how much he cares about these kids (Riley, Auggie, and Maya the most, but even Farkle and, to a lesser extent Lucas). I also do think that Topanga does have fun and her lighthearted moments, but, being married to Cory, she has to be the "serious" one at times. They've always balanced each other out well in that way, even when they were kids. It might have seemed like Topanga was the "wacky" one, but she was always pretty grounded in herself, for the most part. Sure, she was the "hippy chick" and all, but she never really seemed to do anything without thoughtful consideration. And she's always been portrayed as very intelligent and driven, so it's not a shock that she ended up being a "shark" attorney. I think it would be good to see the bakery set more often (with her there), to give her more to do outside of throwing Ava out, but I'm not disappointed in either characterization. They could have Topanga more heavily featured in the main story line, but, since she doesn't work at the school, it would be really bizarre to have her constantly showing up at school for various contrived reasons, when she's supposed to be at her office during the school day. (Even without the angle of her working, how many "Cory, you forgot your lunch again" drop ins at school could they really do?) And, who knows, maybe it's as simple as Danielle having more of a "special guest star" type contract with the show where she gets paid less per season than Ben does but also doesn't film nearly as much as he does. On a related note, I get why so much of the show takes place in the school. A huge chunk of a kid's waking hours during the school year are spent in school. It's a big part of their social lives. It makes sense for a huge part of the show to take place there, because that's where you expect to see kids during the day. (And it gives the kids watching a sort of easy familiarity with the show). It always bugs me when you have a show about kids and those kids are rarely, if ever, shown in school. There should be a happy medium, of course, and I'd love to see season 2 move more towards showing a little more outside the school (which brings us right back to the bakery, which would be a great place to show the kids going after school where they would interact with Topanga more). Danielle does a great job, with very little material, in portraying that Topanga loves Maya as much as Cory does, but she doesn't seem to know Farkle and Lucas much (she knows Farkle better, since Lucas is "new"). Topanga strikes me as the kind of parent who would be very familiar with her kids' friends (especially if her daughter wants to date one of those friends). Showing them in the bakery after school would accomplish that and integrate her character into the show more. Overall, though, I think that, if you're going to get a DC version of a show that originated elsewhere, it's going to be a lot less subtle than the original. Sure, they love that adults are watching, and a big part of the reason they made this particular show was because they knew it would appeal to the kids' parents who have fond memories of BMW, but, overall, their target is kids. So they are going to make the show accessible and understandable to those kids. And it's pretty much a given that they're going to more regularly go for the "silly" because little kids, on average, tend to enjoy that type of thing. I think it will be interesting to see what kind of changes, if any, they make in season 2. It's hard to drastically change things in the first season, and, depending on the filming schedule versus when the first season aired, we may not even see major changes in the early episodes of the upcoming season.
  15. Disney has done the same thing with other shows before. I know they recently did it on XD with Lab Rats (although I think it was just Mon-Thurs, not all 5 days). I don't think it's to shorten the season (especially since each show seems to pretty much have its own season, in an effort to make sure there are a few shows in season on air at any given time of the year). I think it's just a publicity gimmick to get the kids excited about the new season and give the channel a little ratings bump during the week.
  16. Was that a Face Time chat to object to a wedding or a hostage being forced by her captors to film a proof of life video? KM went right past "upset the father I barely know is marrying the woman who was in the same zip code when I took a tumble down those Escher garden stairs and lost my baby" to hostage.
  17. All Felix or Sabrina needed to do was type a description of the pill (size, shape, color, markings) into Google. They could have had this shit solved in seconds.
  18. I don't get what whoever originally wrote the spoiler on about.com was going for here. Nik "knows he slept with Greenlee"? Well, yeah. He was there. And he knew she was a big ass fake before sleeping with her, so it's not like he finds out after sleeping with her that she's the chick who's in town pretending to be Jake's wife.
  19. Please be for Nina's funeral...please be for Nina's funeral...please be for Nina's funeral... I'd also accept her sister's funeral. I'm not unreasonable.
  20. I'm not even going to pretend I wouldn't rather watch the whole town serenade Luke in his hospital bed. Couldn't we just watch Duke do the old Purina Cat Chow commercial dance instead?
  21. I'm actually rooting for Dr. O to gut Nina tomorrow. Damn. It's like Sophie's Choice. I love the idea of all three of them dead so damn much. That Sonny/Luke stuff...just stop, show.
