Oracle42 March 19, 2015 Share March 19, 2015 (edited) I was just thinking that I wish SK hadn't been available when they decided to bring back AJ - because if RH had been AJ the Carly/AJ chemistry wouldn't have been as good but AJ would be alive, he probably would of gotten better stories, and I wouldn't resent RH's presence on the show so much Not because I love RH or prefer him to SK - I just think AJ should be on the show and RC actually writes for RH He'd probably be in the midst of a Carly/AJ story and I'd actually care about Jake because I'm much more interested in friends/family than his romantic triangle Edited March 19, 2015 by Oracle42 4 Link to comment
Oracle42 March 20, 2015 Share March 20, 2015 RH is good at working with younger actors and he's good at playing self-destructive and damaged. Bonus - he probably wouldn't have been stuck doing stupid relish stories 2 Link to comment

dubbel zout March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 I don't think Brytni Sarpy is so beautiful. She's not unattractive by any means whatsoever, but I'm not bowled over like some other viewers are. (And I HATE the way she spells her first name.) Link to comment
ulkis March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 I think she's pretty, but a bit gangly. I hate the first name spelling too but it could have been her parents who decided that. 2 Link to comment

Chairperson Meow March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 Nah. I passed caring about Luke by like the time he went in the boathouse to look for the raccoon and we were supposed to believe that Luke, who appears to be in his 70s or 60s at times (80s at others )can kill a raccoon, but AJ, who appears to be in his late 30s to late 40s couldn't kill a raccoon. Yeah that day I was like this will be dumb and lead to bullshit. I was right. AJ ended up dead. We've seen millions of Lukes. Link to comment

peachmangosteen March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 (edited) I think Brytni Sarpy is more interesting looking than pretty. She sorta looks like an insect to me. Although I just looked up some pics of her and she looks absolutely gorgeous in them. GH ruins people's looks, man. The spelling of her name is awful for sure.

Oracle42 March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 She looked like her makeup was done by someone without any experience with brown skin. Of course, Lulu and Tracy also had really thick dark blush that covered half of their faces so it might just be general incompetence by the make-up crew 3 Link to comment
Oracle42 March 23, 2015 Share March 23, 2015 (edited) I don't hate the pacing for the Jason amnesia story - the story itself isn't great but assuming BM has signed a contract that is long enough to make the story worthwhile I'm okay with the amnesia because it's old school soapy Edited March 24, 2015 by Oracle42 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow March 24, 2015 Share March 24, 2015 Their makeup artist can't do makeup for various skintones, nor can they contour for various types of lighting. Today Lulu's head looked orange. Sometimes, Tracy's cheek contour isn't even blended. Friday, Maxie's contour by her cheeks & forehead wasn't blended in properly, but today it was. Liz's is always pretty good, as is KeMo's, but I suspect those actresses blend themselves. Link to comment

I'm convinced FH has it in her contract that they aren't allowed to touch her hair, an that VA and DZ avoid going into hair & make-up until the last minute which is why sometimes they look great and other times like shit. That said, TFGH's hair, make-up and wardrobe is award winning calibre compared to Days'. Link to comment

ulkis March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 Erin is pretty bad but I imagine Kristen trying to play this stuff and it's still bad. Plus, Franco would be involved somehow. Although I know a lot of you had said KA played "bad" well on OLTL. Lies! :throws bar ware: But seriously, I'll take Erin simply for the fact that there is no lame relationship with Franco with her in the role, and they aren't trying to tell me how awesome Kiki is anymore. 7 Link to comment
JeezumCrow March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 Although I totally agree MW is a fabulous actress, I'm super sick of watching Ava give her daily speech. Doesn't matter if it's about the baby, the cancer, whatever. It's boring now and I don't even care what she's saying. 5 Link to comment
Oracle42 March 25, 2015 Share March 25, 2015 (edited) Yeah but at least some of Original!Kiki's terribleness could be explained by RC's love for the actress and his need to have her work with RH - she was terrible in a way that I could understand. Erin's Kiki is inexplicably, nonsensically awful. Nothing that she does or says makes sense Edited March 26, 2015 by Oracle42 4 Link to comment

Badsamaritan March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I like Billy Miller and all but I don't see chemistry with anyone. Maybe because he's been given no agency of his own. It's like he just stands there with this doofus face while shit happens around him. Sweet baby Jesus, I'm starting to compare him to my most currently hated character, Katrina from Sleepy Hollow. I literally yelled YES! when her ass got got in the finale. I don't want to feel that way about BM but he's making me start to daydream about all the ways I'd like to see his character die. So I'm hoping he gets a regular gig on primetime (isn't it pilot season?) and skips his happy ass up the fuck through. 6 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 Fake Billy Miller wasn't hot. I just watched that episode this morning. I was expecting a really hot guy. This board disappointed me. *head shake of disapproval * He wasn't all that. 5 Link to comment

Pete Martell March 28, 2015 Share March 28, 2015 I don't miss Lucky or Laura. I've never been a big fan of Genie or Jonathan but I respect them for saying fuckity bye (and the only way Ron has any tolerance for a Lucky-type character is if he's played by a failed underwear model). I'd be fine with every Spencer but Bobbie and Lucas leaving and the family generally fading from existence. I've never had any particular fondness for anyone in this family but Aunt Ruby. I don't say that to be snooty or act like it's wrong or common for people to like them. I just never really have. I also find the general hostility to women from pretty much everyone in this family to be consistently repulsive, decade on decade. Link to comment
JeezumCrow April 2, 2015 Share April 2, 2015 There's a (big) part of me that wants GH to pull a huge twist and reveal that this incarnation of Duke is actually PC's Joshua. (I'm a PC diehard.) 1 Link to comment

Popular Post kristabell April 2, 2015 Popular Post Share April 2, 2015 I don't know if this really qualifies as "unpopular," but it's definitely not Current Episodes, so I'm putting it here. I am sick to death of the extra excuses and head-patting RH gets when his performances are crap. The fact that he did well playing a (well-written) character (with extra-ordinarily talented co-stars) twenty years ago has nothing to do with this show or this character or this performance. I don't understand all the excuses. "Well, he was Todd..." Yes, he was. A really long time ago, on another show, with other co-stars and other writers. He's an actor for God's sake. He should be able to do more than "be Todd." Now he's Franco, on GH, and he's turning in crappy performances. He didn't exactly set the world on fire on ATWT (or as Todd on OLTL after the late 90s) either. If he were any other actor, he'd be evaluated on his merits here in this role today. But instead he gets special dispensation from the soap press and everyone else who wants to pretend he's still "great." I can't take it anymore. *deep breaths* Ok, I feel better. 26 Link to comment
rur April 2, 2015 Share April 2, 2015 I agree, kristabell. I try not to think about how, if he were in any other profession, he'd probably have been canned by now. Ultimately, I think his behavior shows contempt for his audience, and that's what I cannot excuse or forgive. 4 Link to comment
SlovakPrincess April 4, 2015 Share April 4, 2015 As much as the kiddie set is obnoxious, I still don't want these characters aged (any more - I actually think Joss and Emma have already been aged by two or so years). I hate SORAS-ing just that much! Link to comment

SlovakPrincess April 4, 2015 Share April 4, 2015 That would work if Cameron hadn't been involved in this asinine kiddie love quadrangle for so long. But it would just be so weird at this point for Cam to suddenly be so much older than Emma and Joss. Also, Liz still looks too young to have a teen son. Just send the kids off to be rarely seen and never heard, and just trotted out for holidays. Link to comment

In fact, BH's oldest son in real life is a teenager himself now!* Granted, Becky was relatively young when she married and started having children, but still. *Becky's oldest son, Ethan, was born on Halloween 2001, which means he'll be 14 this year. That pregnancy was hidden on the show, as Liz was barely out of high school and still working at Kelly's. Edited April 5, 2015 by UYI Link to comment
HeatLifer April 4, 2015 Share April 4, 2015 This won't be shocking that I think this, but isn't it a bit irresponsible of Sam and Patrick to tell their kids that they're a "family" now after only dating for a couple months? Like, the fuck? Why are they both so flippantly throwing around the word "family" like it's nothing? Yes, I know, plot point, but still. It's gross. 1 Link to comment
