BestestAuntEver April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 I thought Brad was a very negative presence for a good portion of his run - he's nicer now, but it seems like that also meant less and less airtime. TJ also became very negative in order to try to make viewers support Rafe/Molly. That flopped, but most of his airtime went with it. I agree about Jordan, but she's mostly a neutral plot device, another who gets infrequent airtime. None of the POC have a storyline or POV. They are also only on every other Wednesday for 5 minutes max. IMO, GH was and has always been the worst of ABC at diversity. 7 Link to comment

I still find it astonishing that every year Tequan Richmond makes the prenoms and the one year Ron gave him a mom, he actually got an Emmy nom and might win. Maybe he'll get every Wednesday then. 1 Link to comment
sunnyface April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Silas really needs to go. There's nothing left for him on the show. This show has way too many doctors. At least change the title of this soap. Scenes at the metrocourt outnumber scenes shot at the hospital by a wide margin. re: Valerie, a better way for this to be done would for her to go live with Bobbie, because bobbie would absolutely insist on getting to know her niece. And Lulu, Dante, Lucas (and Brad) could come over all the time and try to get to know her. Sorry but Valerie ain't cutting it for this viewer. There's something off about her and it's not just her acting. Casting has failed with the younger female set (except for Ellie who probably isn't gonna be around long because I enjoy watching the actress) - Kristina, Felix's sister, and nuKiki. 2 Link to comment

Cattitude April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Wow yesterday happened. That was a whole lota nothin'. I didn't mind Jake or Sam in their scenes but Patrick true to douche form seemed put out to be talking about...not him. He kept playing it like he was annoyed to be having this conversation about not him. I mostly kept wanting that bus Jake kept talking about to take out Spinelli, Lulu and Maxie they are truly all just a complete waste of O2. While Nathan and Ellie are cute physically together I don't get all the Ellie love b/c she is just one click off from being a female Spinelli her only saving grace is she is attractive and not a beady eyed cretan. Show was so boring and irritating....games on my phone were more interesting by the time I got to the end of that mess. 3 Link to comment

Why not put it back in the canister Sam kept it in, or throw it away altogether? I had to laugh at Patrick trying to explain that the ring couldn't have been under the sofa too long.

If I was more tech savy, I would link you the scene from the Sonny/Connie non-wedding where Connie announced she was already married to Johnny. Spinelli had invited Ellie, whom he had just recently met, and her reactions to the goings on were the moment when I became an Ellie fan. Also, I also appreciate the fact that she is smart and has a career and she actually made Spinelli act like a grown up. Spinelli mostly irritated me except during his time with Ellie.

DollEyes April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 (edited) Really, Maxie? Valerie is just like Levi? If you can't tell the difference between the con man whom you willingly let into your life and kept him there despite numerous warnings from Mac & Nathan and the world-class wackjob who not only barged into Valerie's life and home at gunpoint, terrorized her and basically killed her mother, aka his own sister, then you're even dumber than I thought. Of course, your getting back with Spinelli despite your feelings for Nathan already proved that. Speaking of whom, Nathan & Ellie showed more chemistry and made more sense to me in one episode than Spixie ever has or ever will, so of course it won't happen. STFU, Nik. If you put even half as much effort into raising Spencer as you do to stealing ELQ, Spencer might not be the petulant, spoiled, creepy, bitch baby stalker he is. Seeing such traits in the adult Cassidines is bad enough, but in a child, it's disgusting. If Michael does learn that you're behind the hostile takeover, I hope he retaliates by putting the Cassidines in the poorhouse. If poverty doesn't give you & Spencer (especially Spencer)attitude adjustments, nothing will. Edited April 22, 2015 by DollEyes 10 Link to comment

TeeVee329 April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Packing Valerie off to go live with Prince of Douchey Tides Nikolas and his super annoying spawn (two people Valerie has never even met!) at creepy ass Wyndemere, conveniently a launch ride away from Dante cuddles, instead of suggesting Carly's house or hotel was some stealth bitchery on Lulu's part. All the nonsense about the Nurses' Ball red carpet was such a stupid contrivance to prop up this Maxie/Nathan/Spinelli/Ellie quad. Shut up, Carly. 7 Link to comment
Bringonthedrama April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Maxie's comment shows she knows Spinelli was checking out Jake's butt. That's about the only thing Maxie has gotten correct in.....I don't even know how long. My public service: Fast forward Lucy. She seems to get worse by day. Spinelli is beyond delusional at this point. Yet I don't feel bad for Maxie for having to listen to it. Then him promising Maxie they'll be the "hottest couple at the Nurse's Ball"....no words. I can't tell who's more delusional, Spinelli or Ric. Or maybe the tie is between Ric and Patrick. Elizabeth could not look more wistful, and there's Patrick grinning and asking for a compliment while Sam is looking into his face like she wants to cry with longing for Jason. Lulu is awful. Nik is awful. Hayden is acting like she's his personal hooker. Ookkkk. The implication that Nik is a stallion (complete with self-satisfied look) turns my stomach. 9 Link to comment
HeatLifer April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 Sam is freaking emotional as shit and all Patrick basically says is, "I'm your new pretty shiny doctor boyfriend." SPARE ME MORE OF THIS, PLEASE. And LOL at Sam and her new family and closure. Starting tomorrow, she'll just talk about Jake 24/7. I can't with anything Maxie or SPINELLI or Hayden or Carly. Lulu is an idiot. Nik is the WORST.

The one thing creepier than sleeping on the couch 2 feet from the bed from where my new cousin and her husband sleep would be to move to her random half-brother's creepy island house with his creepy fucking kid. And what in the world makes Lulu think Nikolas would be fine with that? "I don't get any of this." I think WE all should have a "fuck it let's just drink" dance party in Lante's loft. If I called the GH studios, do you think they'd put up that set for us? 8 Link to comment
admiralrodcocker April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 (edited) Good lord, Patrick may as well be literal wallpaper in this story, even more so than Sabrina was in their same mirror story line. At least she voiced to Felix how she felt she was coming in second to a "dead" Robin right before the wedding. I'm almost (almost) embarrassed for JT having to stand around looking like such a jackass while Sam loses her shit over Jason yet again. Remember the days when Patrick used to have a POV? Samtrick continues to disgust me. Nik and Hayden are just plain raunchy. Not sexy, not hot, RAUNCHY. This would be a minor quibble if the show balanced it with some actual romance, but it doesn't. Cheap, cheap, cheap, just like the show's production. Yeah, i'm sick of Valerie. I don't agree with Lulu's stance and think she's petty as fuck, but the actress that plays Valerie does nothing for me talent wise, and I'm just on fatigue mode with any of RC's creations at this point. I wish she would have left when her mother died. Edited April 21, 2015 by BinkyMimo88 7 Link to comment

Or I don't know, I'm sure Carly would comp her a room at her hotel, or maybe just maybe Val could get a job and rent a room above Kelly's? Who wants to help me make a Nathan & Ellie fansite?

I'm going off memory so I could be wrong, but I believe she said Bobbie, Joss, Morgan, and Lucas, who just moved in with Brad, and that they have even less space than they (Dante and Lulu) do. The dialogue was odd in any case. Why mention Lucas when she was only trying to mention those relatives currently at Carly's? No need to mention Lucas as an add-on as he hasn't lived there in months.

Whenever they try to act like she cares about people, I just go, "Eh." I know that in terms of character development, the character should grow and become more caring, but it's not something I ever buy. Of course I do realize these caring scenes are lip service and she still spends 99% of her time snarling at people and worrying over her favorite fellows; it's just the oddness of her saying she has to worry about Lucas and Brad.

That's my problem with Carly and Lucas—they didn't build much of relationship back in the day, and he was away for so long that it now seems very WTF. Especially when Carly gasses on about her brother; I always have to stop and think who that is. LW and RC do have a good chemistry, which of course is wasted because they rarely have scenes together.
