Unpopular Opinions: "I hate BLTs from Kelly's!"

I have hated Lucky/Liz since he fetishized her rape - super triggery moment, that one, so I probably can't be objective about it. I think these two have become toxic for each other and it's not even a fun type of toxic. 

 

Only thing that interested me about Johnny was his chemistry with Claudia and once she died, I stopped being interested in him. So, I'm not interested in his return.

 

I'm typically more invested in villains and anti heroes in media especially when written properly, but this show has such a glut of them that subconsciously I'm usually rooting for everyone else. As long as there's remorse for their offenses and they're decent people, I'm usually there. I like to think of it as defiance against Ron's fascination with villains and anti-heroes.

 

I don't like Julian/Alexis and I wish they would keep Alexis away from all these criminal types.

 

And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like Silas. I don't know how I got here.

I'm at the point where so much strange crap has been done to save characters I don't care about that I think I might believe almost anything to save characters I like or hell ones I hate. Once they introduced the masks, it was like cool and funny the first time. But when it kept going, the shark jumped so damn high it reached the moon and sun. So now, I believe anything can happen, but I'm not shocked. When normal things happen I get shocked.

"How am I supposed to write for a guy that doesn't have a head? He's got no lips, no vocal cords. What do you want me to do?"

 

"You'll figure it out, you're a writer."

 

"HE DOESN'T HAVE A HEAD!!!"

Oh I think its passed that mile marker a ways back ...

The writing has rendered Patrick so out of character thoughtless and useless that he IS Dr. Ramoray.

 

 

Patrick use to be one of my favorite characters.  But now?  He can fall down an elevator shaft as far as I'm concerned.

 

If the show is still on the air in a few years, they can bring him back with a brain transplant. Heh, can you imagine JT playing Nina or Kiki's brain in Patrick's body'?

 

Ill show myself out . . .

While I am certainly no fan of the kiddie quad, I have no problem with seeing Joss on my screen. I think Hannah Nordberg is a real  scene-stealer, and although she excels at the comedic and sarcastic, I think she's equally done well with the little bit of "dramatic" or serious stuff - empathizing with Spencer over his not having a mother, or the hug she gave to Carly before the Hallowedding. I just really enjoy the actress.

  • Love 7

I think the current Joss is the female equivalent to Spencer, but for whatever reason, Ron has decided to use Spencer as his main child mouthpiece. My tolerance for smart-ass children on TV is really low, so the only reason I find Joss more tolerable is we see her much less frequently than we do Spencer. (Though I do think Hannah Nordberg is a better actor than Nicolas Bechtel.)

Kristen Alderson's firing has me worried for several reasons. For Ava fans, there is more of a chance she will be let go, ditto Silas. Another, they might bring on, waste and ruin Serena by attaching her to Michael and Morgan.  I would rather those two fight over Rosalie. If I am being honest, I rather the Scott and Lucy exit the canvas if they aren't being used, properly. I would include Kevin in that, but he is pretty much gone.  

 

My other opinion, while KA didn't grow into being a good actor, but RC writing of the character didn't do her any favors. Kiki knew way too many secrets that she shouldn't have known (and had no reason to keep) but the one secret she should have known the entire time (Ava killing Connie, framing AJ) she found out at the last minute.

eta: the basic fear in my post remains the same.

One thing I'm worried about if they bring serena on there going to recton her childhood.DEspite Lucy and scotts flaws they did nothing but fawn over that kid and fight for her.I hated when they recton Robins childhood where Robert never wanted to be a father ect.

  • Love 1

I'll be honest. KA was good at one point. She had chemistry with actors she was not paired with. Or actors who were older than her. She really was great with BB. I'd love a Kiki/Johnny scene before she deuces out because they were awesome in scenes. Hell, be meta. I don't care.

But here's where I think things went wrong. Not every actress is meant to play the girl next door, omg Mary Sue. Finola Hughes, Maura West, Kassie DePaiva come to mind as women whom are amazing, but aren't meant for that type. Is KA at their level? No. But my point is she should have been allowed to grow as she was meant to as an actress. I'm not speaking of KA's looks, but where she truly excelled. And she truly excelled when Starr was not the Mary Sue character prototype. Could Kiki have been something different? Maybe. But add in the singing and etc and yeah. It became a disaster. She did grow a bit under working with ME and MW. She toned down the faces and expressed emotions better. Do I want her staying on the show? No. But I think it's unfair that she got boxed into a category at a young age.

It is weird I can now lump RC in with Guza, both have their strengths but they let their weaknesses overtake them. I fear it to. I think even if she is a bit of a bitch, she should be a fairly well adjusted  person. I have some hope because she did call out Lucy for cheating on Kevin, and that is fairly consistent with Port Charles because Kevin was extremely good to her and Karen. I think Scott is a far superior parent to Luke, but no one is allowed to out shine the Spencers. I am taking the rest of Baldwin hopes to the wishlist. 

I miss the days when everyone hated Michael and called him a SLS. Because I still hate him, he takes up way too much time on my screen, and he is one of the characters that if I had my choice would be snuffed out by a crane just like his super awesome (sarcasm) dead girlfriend. I don't care what his stupid name is*, I don't care about his pain and I resent that I'm expected to. And I especially hate that he's a CEO. It just makes me hate him even more. I buy everyone coming back from the dead way more easily than the fact that he's this superhuman Doogie Howser of the business world. 

 

*His name should be: get the hell off my screen and let me see characters I actually enjoy.

I want to throw this post a fancy wedding and feed it cake until it explodes.

 

I really can't add much else, I just agree with it all so much, heh.

 

I hate this whole idea that Michael is the "future" of this show. Putting him with Tracy only reminds me of all the far better characters that should be in his place.

 

He has no business running ELQ. He's stupid enough to hire an admitted con artist and liar to be his "assistant" who is totally playing him, but look at how well he's running the show. Give me a flippin' bloody break. 

 

He and his slaggard parents are back to eating this show at a remarkable speed and it's disgusting.

Aw, that's quite a compliment, CPP83.

And yes! He's had every red flag waving in his face about her, and he still hires her? I'm in HR consulting/leadership assessment, so it's the equivalent of all the nurses on this board having problems with the medical stuff (that they show) and the lawyers having problems with the legal.

I dont hate Patrick like a lot of people. I find him pretty harmless. I find Anna/Robert doing nothing about Robin way more OOC than Patrick. He has every right to move on with his life. Its prob. because Ive never cared about Robin or Scrubs.

 

And I dont just blame RC for the crappy writing Robin gets. Isnt KMc the one who didnt want Robin killed off. So the back and forth crap with Robin is partly her fault too.

KMc wanted Robin killed off. Frank and Ron convinced her otherwise.

I thought they admitted that Sonny ran guns, although that was something else that was never made explicit on the show. It was always "the shipment."

 

 

When RH as Todd pulled that gun on Sonny in the courtroom, he made it quite clear that the gun was one of Sonny's imports and he would love to kill Sonny with one of his illegal guns.

And, I can't believe I'm saying this, but I like Silas. I don't know how I got here. 

 

Silas is one of the few male characters on this soap who isn't a.) a murderer, b.) a selfish asshole, c.)a narcissistic douchebag, or d.) some combination of the above.  He's basically a good guy.

 

Unfortunately, you can count the characters who are "basically good guys" on this show on the fingers of one mangled hand.

  • Love 1

If a "good guy" means that you're as incredibly boring as Silas, I'll take my chances with the bad. Well, not with some of them, but you know what I mean.

 

And I totally thought he was a narcissistic douchebag when he was introduced to Sam before they overnight fell in love, and when he treated Ava like crap for thinking she was responsible for his precious, psychotic nutbag coma wife.

My problem with the "assholes" on this show is they are never seen as "assholes." That's just the viewers calling it out like we see it. It's not the writers' intention, I'm sure. We're supposed to feel for Sonny and Franco and fill-in-the-blank. I'm not even sure who the audience is supposed to dislike, to be honest.

I agree, and I don't know if this is unpopular, but it is an opinion, so I almost automatically root for anyone who is against Sonny. Johnny, Julian, Dante on his non-Sonny's Son days. Hell, I'd rather watch mophead Faison be a lunatic than "good man" Sonny be his usual toxic self. Whatever I do or don't think of him, he's aware that he's not right in his mind in a way that the "heroes" of the piece aren't.
