I mean she paid as much as Sonny did as they spent the same amount of time in jail. While the Avery being ripped out of her body was incredibly terrible, it had very little to do with her killing Connie (and I know the reason Ava was alone at the time was because Sonny was going to kill for Konnie).

KerleyQ August 18, 2015 Share August 18, 2015 (edited) Kannie wasn't some poor innocent woman. She tried to her baby, and then finally succeeded 20 years later when she committed vehicular homicide and murdered Trey. Didn't she also try to kill Sonny, and then chose to be with him? Connie was mentally ill. The baby she left in a drawer was the result of her being raped. In contrast, Ava was, as far as we can tell, in complete control of her mental faculties when she offed a woman to keep her brother's identity a secret, a secret that, it turns out, her brother wasn't even half that invested in keeping. And she was well in control of her mental faculties when she essentially egged Sonny on into killing AJ for her crimes. She's also not mentally ill while she's letting her loved ones believe she's dead, impersonating her fake long lost twin, and sleeping with her "beloved" daughter's boyfriend behind her back. And now it's possible that she once again killed someone for essentially the same reason she killed Connie - because Silas knew that "Denise" is really Ava and could have spilled the beans. I'll never like Nina (unless she kills Sonny, then I'll throw her a ticker tape parade and spend a term of no less than 3 weeks and no more than 3 months as president of the MS/Nina Fan Club), but she's clearly unwell, mentally, and her state at the time that she viciously removed Avery from Ava's womb was due, in part, to her mother's manipulations, which were aided by...Ava. Not saying Ava deserved that whole scene, but of the three women - Ava, Connie, and Nina, Ava is, to me, by far, the most cold-blooded and self-interested with the least excuse to be so. I forgot to add to Ava's hit list - shooting Olivia when she was gunning for Franco.

Killing someone because you hate them, going to prison and breaking out right away is fine as long as, during your breakout, you interrupt someone else who is already in the process of saving a boatload of passengers from the bomb that was planted and grab the bomb to take it the last two feet into the water. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1424019

I truly believe they pulled an Ava on Ric was because Ric Hearst managed to like Ric damn likable, we and we know what JFP/Guza did to characters that took the shine away from Sonny and Jason. See this is also my example. I fucking hate Carly, but damn do I feel the slightest bit bad for her knowing that Ric is walking around without doing any time. That is why I didn't feel at all sorry for him when he was kidnapped, bound and gagged for months with a threat to his life. Sorry I went off topic. I think that Frank Valentini was more to blame for the decline than Ron Carlivati. I don't care that he kept everything within budget, he often miscasted roles with expensive actors and allowed Ron to talk him to allowing his stupid ideas to go through, like Dr.O being chief of staff. In a sense I feel a little bad for Ron C because Frank wasn't keeping him in check like he is supposed to. While writers get a lot of credit (and it is mostly deserved) the show often succeeds or fails depending who is in charge. Wendy Riche vs JFP is a classic example. While Riche sounded like a bitch (but not near the level of Monty) she managed to keep Guza in check, but once JFP took over and Guza returned, Guza got to write his dream soap, which turned out to be utter crap and it seemed that she ran the show over budget, the one thing Frank doesn't seem to be doing Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1424089

Have Kate die while the two women fight over a gun, instead of Ava being a cold blooded killer. Put AJ in a coma rather than kill him. All of this would have been better drama anyway. Making Ava an unrepentant killer, then trying to redeem her with torture at Nina's hands, terminal cancer that is magically cured now, a laughable disguise, and whining about wanting her baby (while screwing her other daughter's boyfriend) doesn't work.

You know who my favorite villian is? Mikkos Cassadine. He had an interesting, ambitious plan (become a dictator who enforces peace and prosperity ... by threatening to freeze the world), and his motivations made sense (he was insane but truly believed the ends justified the means).

But those are some top quality actors he's opposite in much of those scenes. I just don't see him as Dillon or believe in anything about his passion for filmmaking. To the creative team, this Dillon is just a convenient, core-connected hunk.

OnceSane August 19, 2015 Share August 19, 2015 I like Dillon, and his scenes with his parents is some of the only nice things left among the drivel. I would take him over 90% of the characters now. I am hoping that they tone down the Nina/Franco stuff with the new writers because once upon a time, I thought they had amazing chemistry. I still think it's there, but it's lost in a terrible storyline. When Lulu was pretty much telling him to have babies with Valerie immediately.

Bawoman August 20, 2015 Share August 20, 2015 (edited) I'm okay with a reset on Rebecca Budig's Hayden. I don't think Ron had any idea of who the character was supposed to be and the audience had no idea why she was doing things. "I lie a lot! I behave like a sex addict! I want money! Now I want more money! And more sex!" wasn't a character. It was a caricature. And the last few shows I'm beginning to sense a different dynamic between her and TC. With an actual story I think they may have chemistry. While I agree the character may have come off as a tad too strong, gunning for every penis around her and acting fairly nympho-ish, I always found female characters who were upfront about their libido refreshing, and fun. So I hope they don't completely erase that side of Hayden, it makes her unique to me, and sets her apart. But a few slight tweeks here and there so she doesn't come of as cartoonish like she did at the very begining should be okay. And I absolutely love her dynamic with Nik. Don't know if theyre meant to be a couple, or if Hayden will be the one to stab Nik in the back like Dillon foreshadowed, or both, but those 2 have the most organic, potent chemistry I've seen from a pairing in a long time, and I will enjoy their scenes together however long they last.

IWantCandy71 August 20, 2015 Share August 20, 2015 I'm biased-unashamedly-because I am keeping up with the show mainly for Quartermaine goodness. Still, I liked this Dillon from the get go, and still do. Anyone who can keep up with TG, JE, and RB in any scene, is good with me, especially considering his age and total lack of soap experience. That said, Dillon as a character is dear to me for who he is-not his personality. I see all these "Dullen" comments and all I can think is, "SC's Dillon was kinda dull, too." I think it's been so long that SC was on, it's easy to build his Dillon up as this great, interesting, dynamic character...that he never was. I found Dillon and Georgie to be mind numbingly boring, but that was mainly because Georgie was mind numbingly boring. I found SC's Dillon to be fun, interesting, and worth watching with his family, but outside of his family, I either didn't care-*GQ*, or I wanted to punch him-like the numerous times he acted like he was so much better than the rest of his family. I found his so called quirkiness to be more annoying than anything. And SC IMO, during the time he played Dillon, anyway-did not have the automatic chemistry and warmth with so many people that I think RPW's Dillon has. RPW's Dillon can be a bit dull away from his family, too......but IMO that just puts him on par with SC. It doesn't make him worse, that's for sure. And I honestly think that's mainly the fault of the writers. This is one character I'm watching to see what the new writers do in terms of "depth". 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1432213
peachmangosteen August 20, 2015 Share August 20, 2015 I wasn't gonna like that because of the GQ hate, but otherwise I completely agree so +1. Honestly Dillon is probably the only character I even care about right now. His are the only scenes in the past like month probably that I've actually liked. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1433038
JeezumCrow August 20, 2015 Share August 20, 2015 I've heard Maura as Denise so frequently that now Ava's voice sounds awkward and clunky and out of place. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1433050
Chairperson Meow August 21, 2015 Share August 21, 2015 Well, I guess do me it comes down to I liked AJ so I want Sonny to pay for that crime, and I couldn't stand Kannie so I'm will in to make endless logic pretzels and excuses to "forgive" Ava of her crime. Perfext example of this is thatI love Rick Hearst, so when Ric locks a woman in a panic room in a plan to steal the woman's baby, when he dry his own wife, when he plots to kill his brother, when he cheats on his cancer stricken wife with her daughter, when he hires a con woman and lies to the alleged love of his life, and when he attempts to scam another woman out of her money, I'm unabashedly #TeamRic.. . . In the real world I think murder is murder is murder. . Word! I like Ava/Julian- weird siblimgs, Ava- always drinking, and Ava- messing with Sonny's fragile male brain. But I hate that AJ had to be sacrificed for her and Sonny. And all for stupid Kannie and no carbs Julian. The way Ava killed Kannie was stupid, but some of the coverup was genius. Except I'd rather AJ/Ava than Sonny anything. I also liked Trey better than Kannie. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1436010

Honestly Dillon is probably the only character I even care about right now. His are the only scenes in the past like month probably that I've actually liked. I care about all the Qs. It's just that it's mostly caring from afar, since so many are dead and gone, and the ones that are left are barely shown (except Dillon). Even Michael isn't on much anymore, which just goes to show what happens to you if you have a falling from grace with Sonny et al. At any rate, I kinda adore the little family unit with Dillon, his mom, and pop. I think in any combination, their scenes light up the screen, and make my time bothering to watch, worthwhile. It's a travesty this show wastes some of the best actors it has. The fact that RB has had almost nothing to do and scant airtime, and JE hasn't been on in almost six weeks, there's just no excuse. And I honestly think it's that-that underlying lack of appreciation and respect of their performers-that turns me off GH as much or more than anything else. 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1436209

KerleyQ August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 No matter how shitty the show gets, I can't hope for cancellation. As much as many of us find it bad to un-watchable these days, there are still people who are enjoying the show. So, let them watch it. It's not like we're somehow obligated to spend any of our time watching if we've hit the point where we'd think "cancellation wouldn't be so bad after all." Besides, the state the show is in now, I wouldn't want to see the finale that springs from the current Port Charles universe. We'd need to get someone in there to fix a whole hell of a lot before sending the show off into the sunset. 14 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/2834-unpopular-opinions-i-hate-blts-from-kellys/page/27/#findComment-1450792

yowsah1 August 29, 2015 Share August 29, 2015 (edited) Alright everybody, stand back, because I am about to unleash the Unpopular Opinion that will top all other Unpopular Opinions, to wit: If fucking Sonny and fucking Carly are going to be the ones to have baby AJ, I want said baby shot dead in the next (interminable) mob war. The only reason I was able to put up with Yet. Another. Baby. on the canvas was because of the fascinating possibility that Michael having custody of her and never talking to Sonny and/or Carly again would lead to Sonny finally suffering some fucking consequences for his actions for once on this fakakta show. Now that has been destroyed, I see no reason for little A.J. to stick around. She can go to Heaven and be the cutest baby angel there. Oh, and the same goes for obnoxious TJ. If he's going to be just another Sonny ass-kisser, than kill him off.
