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

I forgot the Beaker Do.

Hair Dept hates the Muppets too.

I couldn't stand Michael for yeaaaaars. Damn, probably even from the very beginning, because he was the piece that made Carly have her claws in Jason.

 

This is the root of my dislike for Michael - it's not wholly rational. I had a bad feeling when that kid was born and people kept fighting over him. And then the unholy trio was born 'to protect Michael and give him a family' and it was cemented.

[HeatLifer]

Yeah, exactly. It's not like Michael did anything, it was what he represented to Carly, Sonny, Jason.

[ulkis]

Well also for me it's the current mediocre, bland actor. I do like Chad sometimes . . . but the past two days . . . eeeeeh.

[HeatLifer]

He's been randomly yelling his lines for no reason.

[ulkis]

It's more his scrunch face. "sonny is gonna be laying on the beach with in his linen suit!" :scrunch: "Daaad! Nooo!" :scrunch:

[tvgoddess]

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.

 

I usually root for whoever's against Sonny too, but when the option is Sonny vs. Franco it's like asking if you want death by fire or death by water.

[ulkis]

Sonny > Franco. That's what Franco's done to me.

 

here's an UO: Will deVry is only a couple steps above Easton in terms of 'subtlety'.

Micheal made me so disappointed today that I'm like where is Morgan. I am sorry I ever doubted the Original MWOP. May Morgan tell Sonny and Carly how shitty they are and now with the added bonus of Micheal probably reclaiming his Simba status, Scar will rise again with Timon and Pumba.

I have to say though that when he was legit screaming his speech at the HS party it cracked me up. It was just so strange and I was thinking CD must be pissed his speech isn't getting airtime so he's gonna just shout it so you can hear it behind all the other scenes.

Hahahahaha, yes! It was during a Maxie/Lulu scene. I could barely hear the girls; all I could hear was CD's loud ass voice. How could no one on set notice that!?

I never had much use for Robin. I don't hate her. I'm basically meh on her. I disliked her when she came back and ordered Sabrina to tell Patrick to reunite with Robin. That bugged me because a) Sabrina had told him that and b) that shit was all on Patrick. Other than that, I don't care one way or another. Unless Jason is involved. 

[ulkis]

I'll always like Robin, but I've become a bit disillusioned with KMcC as an actress the past couple of years. There have been a couple of times in these stints where she's been downright wooden.

I'll defend her when she's in the right and when she's treated unfairly by the show, but I find her whitebread in a way that doesn't interest me.

[LeftPhalange]

I find Robin to be extremely bland, boring, and sanctimonious. I've never seen any spark or edge from her and I never understood what Patrick saw in her (I never understood what she saw in him either). I feel like Robin is put up on s pedestal to be worshiped and I resent it. But to be fair, I don't think soaps know how to write "good" characters anymore and as I result I almost always have no use for them.

I like Jason/Robin. If KMc can't muster chemistry with Billy Miller, then it's her fault because the dude has managed to wake up every actor he's been in scenes with. He makes KeMo look alert and interested. They look engaged in their scenes. If she tanks this then recast. I like the character, but I hate the way she's been written and I think KMc does as well.

[WendyCR72]

I don't get the hype - I'm thinking that's the unpopular opinion. And KMc has done just fine making hit pairings before Billy Miller was a glint on this show.

 

But then, I have no use for Jason, period. No matter who is playing him. So there's that.

[ulkis]

I have a feeling grrpants meant Kelly Monaco, not Kim.

[OnceSane]

She mentioned KeMo in her post, so I'm sure she was talking about Kim.

To which I again say...meh.  :-)

Kim Mc has been kinda bored lately. She was great with Headless Jason. She did look decent as "Jason's conscience ". But it's getting to write Robin off or recast. We need Robin to explain who Jason is apparently as even his own wife can't tell when he says "You gave me that wedding gift you gave your husband who's body was never found and people were like he's alive not long ago! Surprise!" Apparently, Robin has the town brain in Paris and it must be returned. So either return it or come back and school people.

Now Robin coming back to school the town would be must see. Especially if she finally tells Sonny off. 

[33kaitykaity]

I have hated Robin ever since the AJ/Michael paternity reveal.  As Jason said to Sam all those years later when she was going to tell Lucky about Jake, it wasn't Robin's truth to tell.  

 

I think the past week or so will, this prison story, be MB's Emmy reel.  He's been really strong lately.  I think MB looks fine as hell all stubbled up and gray.  And I think he absolutely has the right to come in and take his daughter no matter what Keeks might think.   

 

I come in here and come away thinking that I really should hate Sonny for all of his evil, no doubt.  But then I watch the show and watch MB with that adorable baby and I go all squishy inside.  I'm believing that Sonny is trying to do the right thing now.  It's just what I see.  

[mybabyaidan]

I can take or leave Robin.  I have a soft spot for her because she is the child of Anna and Robert, and I loved her and Stone, but I never went gaga over any of her other pairings.   I don't dislike her, but I won't go out of my way to track down her scenes.

 

I also like Spinelli.  I am not sure if I ever said that in this thread before, but since it appears he is returning, I'll put it out there again.

Oh goodie a friend. I came here to say the same thing. Sonny should in no way have to fight that mooch Kiki for his own child if Ava is dead.

And I've never seen a baby and man be as cute as Sonny and Avery. squeee!

Sorry to say my problem is Rocco himself just isn't that cute to me...sorry.

I don't think MB and TG have nearly the amount of control as people think they do. Maybe they did in the past but I doubt they do now. MB might be mediocre and TG might be doing way too much right now but I think 95% of the problems with Sonny and Luke are because of the writing. I also don't believe TG is some big bad meanie who hates GH fans or is trying to destroy Luke's history.

I tend to agree, I think he just suffers from a bad case of hubris. It's one of those instances where the actor's opinion of their character differs profoundly from what the audience believes about the character. Maybe he just needs to re-read some old script notes to remind himself how he was directed to act, and no where did it say 'Luke is a sociopath'.

Didn't TG say he wouldn't come back unless they wrote this Fluke thing?  I think I read that somewhere...

My unpopular opinion is....*whispering* I don't think Maxie's baby is cute.  If I ran into someone with that child in real life, I would recall my mother telling me, "If you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all."  OH, and I mean Maxie's baby on the show, not the actress' real baby, who I think is very pretty.

 

 

[tvgoddess]

Then you should be happy. Baby Harper (KSt's real baby) is supposedly going to start playing Baby Georgie on the show. I didn't have a problem with OG Georgie, but Harper is really beautiful.

 

I guess my UO is that I think Baby Rocco isn't cute at all. But I think they recast him too.

 

Liked OG Danny, hate this new one. But they all pale to my Baby Avery.

[Chairperson Meow]

I think Liz has beautiful skin and hair.

[UYI]

I think Liz has beautiful skin and hair.

 

Isn't that a POPULAR opinion? ;)

 

In fact, that's usually one of the only things that unites Liz fans and detractors, from what I've seen, unless her hair color/cut is particularly bad. 

 

(Although thinking her skin is white enough to confuse her with a ghost is probably a UO. Some do.)

[peachmangosteen]

I don't think Liz's hair is that fantastic to be honest. It seems dry to me. And she has a lot of flyaways.

[dubbel zout]

BH's hair goes through phases of looking great and looking terrible (the Taupe years). Her skin, though? I need to know her secret. I don't care what I have to sacrifice.

[admiralrodcocker]

I like Sabrina and wouldn't mind it if she had another front burner story as long as it didn't involve Patrick. I actually hope she finds some happiness this year because she's been looking glum for far too long. First with Gabriel's death, her guilt over Ava's baby, and now with this Carlos/Johnny mess. Hopefully the clinic will actually become a real thing (although I sadly suspect that it was nothing more than a Fluke plot point that will never see the light of day) and she can find some purpose in her work and interact with new characters.

 

If the cast needs to be cut, as much as I hate to say it because I enjoy the hell out of MW, Ava needs to go (along with many others). Her story line is pretty much done, and honestly, what else is left for Ava? They saddled a middle-aged mobster with an infant ffs! and having her off screen just shows how much the show really doesn't miss a beat without her. She is also a villain, who most people in town despise and not too many family connections outside of Julian and Kiki (who can also exit stage left). Her other Jerome relatives -- Sam and Lucas -- she never talks to anyway. She wouldn't be my first choice, but she's also expendable if need be.

I cannot find one reason to watch this bunch of shit. Every time we think things will change, they don't. Are the unholy three hiding in the writers room? I will just come here and read what you all tell us. Have to go make cookies for the grandkids. That will keep me from sneeking a peek. Have fun. I really hope some of you do enjoy the show.

She was the spokeswoman for Purpose skin care for a time, so that's one right there. I do remember her saying, in one ad, that she didn't have the greatest skin at one point, though God knows when that would've been.

 

She was named one of daytime's most beautiful women in SOD last year, and in her interview, she said that she began wearing sunscreen as a teenager every day, and whenever she went to the beach or someplace like that, she would just wear a sweatshirt and hat to protect her skin. She also said she just doesn't think she looks good tan, either. 

[dubbel zout]

I wouldn't mind her in a story with Lucas and the new clinic. But I don't want to see her be Super!Nurse again. That was an awful bore. Let her continue to struggle with her moral compass—maybe she's involved with a shady drug rep or something. The meds are semi-illegal but a patient desperately needs them; something along those lines. Lucas gets Julian involved because having been OMG TEH EVUL with drugs, he can quickly get his hands on them.

 

But if Sabrina is going to sit around and whine about Carrrlos bringing danger into her life, she can leave. Immediately.

[TheGourmez]

Ooh, the immune to babies crowd has come in here! I will contribute that I think NONE of the babies are cute. But I rarely do in real life, either.

[tvgoddess]

I disagree completely that the show doesn't miss a beat. It does for me and many other viewers who are bored stiff without her around. Yes, we're Maura fans, but we're Ava fans too. I don't want her going anywhere, although MW deserves a hell of a lot better than this dreck.

[Lillybee]

Despite his dimples, I despise Sonny's smile. It reminds me of a shark going after his next meal. It seems really false to me whenever Sonny is in seduction mode.

[dubbel zout]

I like that they write Sonny unable to be without a woman. It makes it easier to deal with the women who can't be without a man. I know it's a soap, and pairing people up is status quo, but the women are usually more desperate about it.

 

The scenes with Carly were a joke, though, and I didn't like how LW was playing them. I can't quite put my finger on what bothered me—the smug, of course, but there was also something else.
