rur March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 (edited) The ratings are going up because the show has been freaking great lately! People tune in and see fabulous soap! The custody trial is wonderful. Using actual, legitimate history in such a compelling way and showing all sides of the story... allowing Sonny fans to see his side, and yet also allow the non-Sonny fans to see the dark, not-so pretty side of his actions as well. Show Carly as the not-so-great mother she truly is who will ALWAYS put Sonny first... until Jason is revealed to be alive. Then just watch her push Sonny outta the way so fast your head will spin. Franco and Nina (RoHo and MS) have fantastic chemistry and play off of each other beautifully. Both are popular actors who have been misused and misplaced pretty consistently since joining the cast, but together they mesh perfect and right now, they're story is fun to watch, with moments of depth and a surprisingly sweet love story is developing here. Throwing Luke--and whatever darkness is going on with him--into the mix adds a dark tenor to that story and a mystery that draws more people into it so that they aren't isolated. … … Everything is so well done, so well-written, it's not even remotely surprising that ratings are on the rise. GH is a great soap opera again. I'll agree with your assessment of the trial, ICGS, and while there are definitely parts of the show that I'm enjoying right now, I don't think GH has yet regained greatness. And part of my reasons for that are Franco and Nina. I think you're probably right about them being misplaced and misused, but that's the reason a number of people (including me) have no interest in them. I've watched RoHo's antics for the last year and have reached the point that I no longer know if what he's saying onscreen is what's been scripted for the Franco character, if he's ad libbing because he thinks he's more clever than the writers, or if he's playing Todd. Since he doesn't appear to care too much about investing in his character, I don't see a reason for me to care either. He could be lifted out today and no plots would go wanting. The same thing has happened to Nina. If she disappeared forever in her upcoming escape with Luke, I don't think a lot of people would miss her. The fact that these two accomplished, long-time schemers/manipulators would immediately ally themselves with Luke strains one's credulity a bit, too. Of course, I understand that YMMV. This is just my $0.02. I guess this puts me on the side of those wanting to see more hospital in GH and less love between criminals and more love in the afternoon.

As a long time Luke/TG fan I never thought I would reach the point where I would want him gone. The same for RoHo, whose Todd was a seminal character on daytime. But it is time for Luke and Franckentodd to ride off into the sunset, I feel like I am watching a great ball player who has played past his prime and who now is a shadow of his former self. I wish Geary had been more Derek Jeter and Less Wade Boggs. 5 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 I remember reading that Roger Howarth actually was directed by Frank that this was how to play Franco, so no, beyond the few things, like the popcorn thing during the reveal or maybe a few things with KA's last scenes, I doubt he's adlibbing. From what I've heard about MSt, she's cool and all, but um might not respond well to adlibbing. So my guess is no adlibbing like he used to. Dude is doing whay he's told and probably going to leave imo. Link to comment

CPP83 March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 the character, overall, is a mess though. He has the depth of a empty matchbox, another one of Ron's creations that he doesn't bother to actually finish. Sloane has a name and job and that's about it, there is nothing given to make him matter really, imo, either to the characters around him or the audience at home. He knows Anna, well a lot of people know Anna and a good number are actual vets with history that matters to this show. It's as if Ron won't bother to actually use all the real GH history on hand and yet at the same time he doesn't fully develop or flesh out the "new history" he seems so determined to craft. 3 Link to comment

Can't Silas pick up a woman without the aura of cancer in the air? Nathan mentioned having a "Spinelli" in his past. Let the countdown to another pointless character connected to a newbie begin.

Artsda March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 (edited) That baby totally wanted to go with Michael. I love that Michael was throwing Carly in jail with Sonny, he was right she was his accomplice. Kiki is a moron, instead of lying for Sonny she should be siding with Michael. She talks of honoring her mother, but takes Sonny's side? What does she know about the baby needing love and comfort, that will love her unconditionally, she thinks that someone is Sonny? LOL I really doubt Kristina will agree. Team Michael! I love him listing off everything that being Sonny's child has done to them. Morgan's pathetic for kissing Sonny's ass. He's the one who slept with the woman you claimed to love Morgan. How quick he forgets. Michael take the baby and run back to the Q's. Michael naming her AJ, and getting rid of the Corinthos is all types of awesome. Carly had no business bringing Jason into this either. He had admitted he was wrong about the Q's and even told Robin she was right to tell AJ the truth. It's obvious Pat's house won't have Pat but have a descendant of her that will be a relative of Lulu's. I'm guessing it's Rebecca Budig and since they're tying Spinelli/Maxie into this, Rebecca Budig will the ex-love of Nathan that Maxie asked him about having and put Lulu in the middle of her BFF and her cousin. They're not even hiding the fact they're copying the Alexis/Sonny/Ned hiding the baby plot. In that scenario Sonny had to be told to get his bone marrow. Ava's going to need bone marrow and that's obviously going to come from Olivia's baby. Edited March 9, 2015 by Artsda 10 Link to comment

Bringonthedrama March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 (edited) Enjoyed the social worker's response to Carly: "That's not how this works." Michael's response to Carly begging : "I didn't do this; Sonny did." And of course the whisper threat. You heard correctly, Carly: Your great love basically just said he's willing to kill your son to keep Avery. And Michael knows it too, LOVED Michael telling the police to arrest Carly, too. Good for him for pointing out that most of the Qs are dead now (re: Jason's history of rejecting the house of 'misery') LOVED Michael telling the police Sonny has sent Avery to a private island in Puerto Rico. Of course I am a little surprised about Kiki doing the right thing. Morgan continues to be a ginormous asshole to Michael and so very pathetic in his desperation to be a loved son. His apology to Sonny for not kidnapping Avery ... no words. I didn't think Sonny could be any scummier - but today with threatening Michael and telling him he deserved grief proves the Moobster can hit rock bottom and keep going. I'm truly disappointed in Nathan for not getting that he's way too good for Maxie. Spinelli deserved to walk in on Nathan and Maxie making out. Hilarious line of the day goes to Tracy's dead-pan: "Imagine that" - without looking up. Tracy's way of getting rid of Spinelli was hilarious. He's such an idiot. But her being desperate to "get Luke back" makes her look pathetic. Kiki's out of her mind, or just dumb, it she thinks the person she's describing for Avery is Sonny. Girl has no clue how Michael and Morgan grew up. She just blows off Michael volunteering to show his scar. His deepening disgust for Carly and Sonny is a thing of beauty. LOVED Michael telling the baby, Kiki, Morgan, Carly and Sonny that he'll call her A.J - keeping Jerome in her name but "Corinthos isn't needed anymore." Those looks = PRICELESS. I actually laughed and clapped. Preview: Of course Sonny is saying he'll break Michael. Edited March 9, 2015 by Bringonthedrama 15 Link to comment

CPP83 March 9, 2015 Share March 9, 2015 Ava having cancer as a plot point to push her and Silas together I think the point of all this is to keep Ava around, and Silas is the only guy he can pair her with that he either hasn't already or she isn't related to and Ron always has to have some kind of romance going, not that it ever matters in the end. I think the cancer angle is to "save" Ava, just like making the Nina "crazy" was her out of all the shit she did and to try and make her a sympathetic figure. Ava is getting a sympathy edit, imho, and since Ron already gave the Nina the "crazy" hand wave pass, Ava gets the "cancer" hand wave pass. 3 Link to comment

He is the son Carly and Sonny made him and as far as I am concerned he's staying that way. I don't see a Quartermaine when I look at him, I see their kid ruling the roost just like when he was their little "golden boy prince". Michael is spoiled and entitled and always has been and his last name may change but his behaviour was engrained by those two slaggards and he acts just like them.

That camera angle up Nina's not-exactly-normal-sized nostrils was really killing whatever sexiness that scene was supposed to have. RoHo's greasy hair hanging over to one side didn't help either. lol is Spin gonna be the evil little sprite to Nathan and Maxie's true love? Luke outrunning everyone at shadybrook is one of the more unbelievable things on this show, and that's saying something.

He can have Michael running around acting as if he's the second coming of the Qs but he knows nothing about his grandfather? He hasn't heard or been told enough good things about Alan to refute anything Carly would have to say? I'm not buying that, not a bit. It's just more of Ron giving lip service and not much else to these characters. No, Carly said misery And Michael said it back when he responded with that line all the supposed "miserable" Qs were now dead. Because being reminded that the majority of that family is dead and gone just can't be pointed out enough apparently for Ron's liking. Especially since he killed off one of the few remaining heirs. Ron likes dressing down the Qs every chance he gets, they either get insulted in conversation, played for fools, or they're just never around. It's inexcusable to me.
