kellog010 April 21, 2015 Share April 21, 2015 So basically Ellie and Nathan are going to retread a story that was played by 12 year olds. Too bad Lulu couldn't ask cousin Carly to put Valerie up in her hotel with the family discount. Not like half of Port Chuck don't live there anyway. This Jakeson story feels like it's stuck in mud so of course they are going to drag this out as long as they can. 6 Link to comment

Fellaway April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 (edited) Maxie's really been knocking back the wine there the last couple days. Better watch it, Maxie, or folks'll be staging an intervention for you. Maybe they can do a twofer and do Michael's at the same time. As quickly as they got Maxie and Spinelli together and as quickly as she's obviously regretting it, it's not meant to last long, obviously. But if Maxie gets back with Nathan, what are they going to do with Spinelli if Ellie isn't sticking around? Interesting how he's been all passive-aggressive and insecure regarding his physique compared to Nathan's, but now he's all delusional about folks wanting to see his "half-naked form" at the Nurses' Ball. Being with Maxie is apparently good for his ego. Elizabeth, I don't even know. Yesterday, she's all happy with Ric, saying she's missed their conversations and it feels right to be with him, but the moment she sees a shot at Jake again... Pick a lane, woman! Lulu is approaching Morgan levels of non-empathy. I get she loves her dad, yadda yadda, but she can't understand Valerie's feelings? She's gonna send her off to Wyndemere, to stay with a stranger and a non-relative to Valerie? Hello, cousin Carly has a nice big hotel and would no doubt comp her a room. Speaking of, where is this Spencer family that promised to rally 'round their newfound relative in the aftermath of Patricia's death?

He would have don't that only because of John Stamos. Speaking of John Stamos, I just read where the show is, again, spending a ton of money on the music rights for the songs being "performed" at the nurses ball. Why? For the love of God, why? Look, it was nice to see the return of the nurses ball in 2013, even though they strung out the hyping of it far, far, far too long. It was wonderful to see Rick Springfield and Jack Wagner perform their signature hits. But last year's nurses ball? Was such a waste. Nearly half of the performances were awful. I'm sorry but the actors who chose to "sing" were, by and large, awful. Gratingly awful (I won't name names). Only one of them actually sang live! I will name that name -- it was Geary. Kelly Monaco practically took a nap during her performance. She clearly didn't even bother to learn the lyrics as she only sang the chorus and the word "bitch." It's such a waste of money. Such an utter waste. 1 Link to comment
Turtle April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 I've always been back and forth on Lulu, with no strong feelings either way, but there days I am firmly against her, and in a pretty strong way. All that Justifying Luke's shit got it started, and her attitude toward Valerie certainly hasn't improved my opinion of her. Sure, Valerie almost killed her dad, but why can't Lulu see that murdering Luke is a *good* thing? Please, god, do not ever even mention Spinelli stripping again. It took days and days of eye bleaching and a partial lobotomy to forget that image, and I cannot possibly do it again. It seems fairly obvious to me that Spin/Ellie and Maxie/Nathan is the long term plan, and I am not looking forward to hijinks we are going to have to endure to get there. Nothing with Spinelli will ever be interesting- it'll be tolerable at best- so why must I suffer through this? Okay, except for the fact that, without exaggeration, he's writing for about 84 characters (are we sure he's given up on Milo yet?), and he should be writing for about 38. Oh, I assure he has not given up on Milo. Magic Milo wasn't mentioned this week for nothing. Nik/Hayden sex is almost as bad as the crypt sex. Shut your mouth.

You'd think she'd be supporting him instead of up Jake's ass again....than again maybe not. Even Ric is out on a date while his niece is missing. Just odd. And Nikolas....wow.

Then again, my favorite part of the Nurse's Ball from that year was Dr. O doing her little dance in front of the TV. I'm going to go steal Maxie's wine and sit far, far, far FAR AWAY in the corner because *small voice* I still think Nik and Hayden are sexy as hell. And they broke out the JaSam sex music for them lol. Ugh, Nina's not even on and I'm still repeating myself. *smh* Because I'm a masochist, I went back and watched yesterday.

How much of Laura's and then Tracy's identities have been eclipsed by being married to to Luke. Luke wasn't the only one held back.

For me, Lucy was never very good, but she's gotten even worse. That mindless, endless, shallow pattering monotone conversation of hers..... Blah Blah Blah yadda yadda yadda yadda, Blah Blah Blah.....that's mostly all I heard today. Carly, Ric, Elizabeth, Hayden, Sam - where Jake and Patrick also on today? My brain is starting to reject images and sounds from Show. I did have one bad break through, though, when I saw Greenlee and DIckolas making bony lizard love. There is ugly and then there is those two together.......Green Butterfly and the guy who fills in his bald spot with shoe polish don't spell out anything but Animal Planet to me.

To be sort of fair, though, I don't think you can compare what Luke did to Laura with the later stuff. As horrible as it was, even after the rape was retconned into a seduction, Luke carried the guilt of that single act as an almost visible burden. And until the shitty re-write, every day Luke was with Laura, he was grateful because he knew he no more deserved her forgiveness than he did the family she made with him. At some point, obviously, that stopped being the case, but that;s just because bad writing took over. As for Michael, I don't really consider him a Spencer. He's definitely Carly's whelp, and I pity him for that even as I resent him for how much the show has revolved around him for ages, but Carly herself has been Mrs. Corinthos pretty much from the first time she put Sonny's ring on her finger, so he's some weird hybrid of that and a Quartermaine.

Bringonthedrama April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 (edited) In Nik's last scene with Lucky (in Elizabeth's house), they wrapped up the Niz affair story with I went after/loved her because Emily died.' Before that, he sometimes said it was just about Liz and yeah he felt bad betraying Lucky, and sometimes he said well there was a void left by Emily and Liz made him happy. So now instead of lying to his brother about his fiance, he's lying to his cousin about her husband, and instead of hiding behind Emily's death re: the affair with Liz, he's hiding his greed/desire for the ELQ power behind his child's trauma. The only "consequences" he ever faced was giving up Aiden to Lucky when they figured out Helena switched the paternity test results. To me that doesn't count because she didn't do it to punish Nikolas. He didn't really face any consequences than (whereas Liz got dumped, and then shamed by various people for years over it) and I doubt he will. That's assuming Sam realizes he knew all along.

Characters do whatever the fuck they want for Ron's plot and then everyone forgets it ever happened. Anyway, I keep having this repeated vision that Patrick is going to apologize to Sabrina for leaving her after he goes through this similar story with Sam/Jason.

Chairperson Meow April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 I think a hilarious scene would be Patrick goes to apologize to Sabrina, but gets an annoyed Felix who hangs up on him, saying she's at the Quartermaines. (We don't see Felix.) Patrick, being the self centered douche that he is, marches over there, thinking he can apologize and stuff. Alice lets him in, of course. Sabrina and Micheal are eating breakfast and clearly they've spent the night together. Patrick starts apologizing, but Sabrina barely listens, ignoring him by looking at something Micheal is showing her. Patrick finishes and is crying, and they turn to him and ask if he was speaking. Patrick runs home to skype Robin. She answers and says it's a bad time. Over her shoulder is her new lover, Micheal Sutton playing a Stone lookalike. She says he rescued her from Helena, and they fell in love. He's an international lawyer, and she's suing for custody. End scene. 9 Link to comment

Cannot stand Spinelli - loved Maxie with someone new (even with stiff acting); want this whole Jakeson thing DONE, want Michael to be a Quartemaine with a "brother" (Jakeson) by his side- want the clinic as a new location and Lulu and Dante left ALONE.

Even though I'm frustrated with her excessive adulation of Luke and excuse-making for him ... I "get" that she has reason to be nervous about Valerie. The image of a highly distraught woman holding a scapel to her father's throat is likely to stay with her. As well, along with the whole GH-watching world, I also acknowledge that the loft is too small for Valerie to stay there. We all "get" that - well, maybe except Dante. Lulu does, Valerie does, and I'm sure my great aunt Matilda would - if I had a great aunt Matilda and if she were patient enough to sit through GH each day. But, imaginary Aunt Matilda aside, I don't "feel" Lulu's POV. And I certainly don't "feel" that she has any real empathy for Valerie's desperate situation. (And, like her or not, Valerie's world is a mess right now and she sure could use more of that promised family support.) Lulu may say some words meant to show empathy; however, like Ambrose Folly, I think she comes across as "too shrill and territorial." There is a brittleness in tone that, for me, lacks a sense of real empathy. Yes, banishing Valerie to Spoon Island to live in a mausoleum with someone she hasn't met is cold. Especially when, as we have all debated, there are other options (in spite of the ridiculously contrived dialogue yesterday dismissing said options). But it's the lack of real empathy in Lulu's tone and demeanor that bothers me most. Edited April 22, 2015 by Aurora2 5 Link to comment

Such an utter waste. You're not looking forward to another performance from "Kiki & Friends"? Yay know, those 'fffrrrriiiiiieeeeeennddss' that call HER "Kiki", frrrrriiiiiiiiiieeeeennds like TJ and Elizabeth that she never shared a scene with before that performance and has never shared a scene with since. 6 Link to comment
Cobalt Stargazer April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 Anyway, I keep having this repeated vision that Patrick is going to apologize to Sabrina for leaving her after he goes through this similar story with Sam/Jason. Like, that's what Ron's point was all along. This will all be about Sabrina. < Cue mega rage blackout > Rest yourselves, ya'll. I'd be amazed if the Douchemaster (and whether that's Patrick or Ron is up to you) remembers what Sabrina's name is on a consistent basis. It'll probably end up being about Nina instead. With or without her horse. 1 Link to comment
Francie April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 Show makes me cranky. These storylines may have stuttered and stalled, but we'll never run out of wonderful official GH t-shirt slogans!! 6 Link to comment

KerleyQ April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 Anyway, I keep having this repeated vision that Patrick is going to apologize to Sabrina for leaving her after he goes through this similar story with Sam/Jason. Like, that's what Ron's point was all along. This will all be about Sabrina. I still haven't recovered from 2012-2014-ish. Leave me in my ugly tears, guys. I think we're probably safe. Ron seems to have lost interest in Sabrina approximately 8 seconds after TC told him she was pregnant. We may get one tiny little bit about how Patrick is on the other end of what happened with him and Sabrina, but this is definitely about Sam, not Sabrina (and, clearly, not Robin). 2 Link to comment
TeeVee329 April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 (edited) I also acknowledge that the loft is too small for Valerie to stay there. We all "get" that - well, maybe except Dante. Lulu does, Valerie does, and I'm sure my great aunt Matilda would - if I had a great aunt Matilda and if she were patient enough to sit through GH each day. But the loft only became too small once Lulu ridiculously got the jells. It came off less, "Now that Valerie's staying longer, let me find her a more comfortable living situation, that will benefit all of us" and more, "I gotta get this trifling ho away from my husband, I know, I'll dump her on my stupid brother!". Unsurprisingly, the fallout from the Luke reveal and the "We are family! I got all my Spencers with me!" singalong has been horrible. Bobbie and Lucas have disappeared, Carly's back to being a nosy bitch about Jake(son) and Rebecca Budig, and Valerie is isolated as a budding Lisa Niles for Dante/Lulu. It makes the Spencers look horrible, which I doubt was the intention. Edited April 22, 2015 by TeeVee329 5 Link to comment
Francie April 22, 2015 Share April 22, 2015 Oh lord please tell me she won't be singing wild horses, not sure if MSt can sing but it's not like it's stopped anyone before on this show. Exactly my point. In fact, there seems to be an inverse relationship between who is musically talented and who is showcased at the NB (Gati and Geary from last year excepted). Jason Thompson and Dominic actually can sing. The fact that they know to stay as far away from being on that stage as possible speaks volumes. Would it be any wonder if we're not subjected to Nina serenading Todd/Franco? Probably with My Funny Valentine, with the express purpose to drive Blair and Todd fans crazy. Then a segue way into Le Jazz Hot, so that those jazz hands can get their full 3 minutes of attention. Those jazz hands have scarred me for life. 3 Link to comment
