Episode Discussion II: The TFGH

Culture Check: How can we discuss a character's or actor's appearance without objectifying them? How can we express likes or dislikes and still respect an individual's humanity or be mindful that a character represents a person someone else might relate to or identify with?

I enjoyed their verbal sparring as well--it has the give and take of two people who know, like and respect each other and it could easily morph into actual flirting but that won't happen because the poor man has to interact with Carly.

I was watching the Ava, Kristina and Alexis scenes and I realized that KM is playing Kristina exactly as she played Abigail on Days, like there's this deep core of unpleasantness to her.  

I tuned into GH on Prime this afternoon (wish they'd move on from the stuff they've been repeating for WEEKS), and there was a scene with Kristina, Sam and Shiloh.   Kristina is on a rant because Jason has attacked Shiloh and she's telling him that Jason works for her father as an enforcer, and he needs to be careful because Jason is dangerous.  I think KM is playing Kristina pretty much the same way that LA did.  

Drew is so, so creepy, immediately speaking for Willow and barely allowing her a word in edgewise. But his attitude toward Willow getting her kids back is entirely in character with his complete lack of parenting of his own daughter.

"You're willing to sacrifice yourself for your kids? Of course you are. I get it." Do you, Drew? Any sacrifices you've made have been for someone else's kids. Shut up.

Felicia is the only one showing any sense in this whole Drew/Willow/kids situation.

Sorry, Show, but having Noted Bigot Natalia save Sonny doesn't redeem her; in fact, it's another mark in the "needs to go immediately and this is why" column.

LOL at Lulu, of all people, explaining how if Tracy is pushed she'll dig in harder. When has Lulu ever compromised? She just goes ahead and does what she wants, consequences be damned.

Ugh, Brick is still oozing around Jordan. And really? "Our resident man of mystery"?

Sonny, everyone knows you take medication for your bipolar condition. I doubt Ava seeing you pop another one is going to set off alarm bells. Tell her your schedule changed. Good lord, Sonny is so dumb.

Sasha should not be far enough along to have baby brain yet. "Willow is such a different person, we need to keep her children from her." So ridiculous.

I can only assume that Michael's spawn has contaminated her with TheCarlyitis.  She was in awful form today with the judgmental attitude.  And then her satisfied 'madonna' smile at the end when Willow actually thanked her for taking care of the kids. Fuck off, show.

Speaking of awful, Drew gets worse every day.  So obsessed with Willow and her kids, meanwhile when is the last time he saw Scout?  

I once accidentally called 911 and the cops showed up at my house anyway and asked to take a look around to make sure I wasn't being held hostage (I guess), but, sure, Noted Bigot Natalya can say 'nevermind' and that's the end of it.

Ugh, Brick.  That's all.

Sasha had the kids illegally after her attacking Willow in her home to look around, after she refused to let Willow legally leave with her kids, then she ran to tattle tale and she's still putting herself involved in this. 

She cheated with Michael first and carrying his child while he's married to someone else.  Sasha is no paragon compared to Willow. Then she says she doesn't recognize Willow and had his parents banned. She's the cook, it's not her business. She's forgetting the part where Michaels parents had cops show up to take her kids from her? It's not like Carly was banned for no reason, she struck first. 

Oh look Jason came up with the common sense compromise. 

Drew needs to shut up. Stay away from Willows lawyer.
