Too many times people are having conversations with family members that you would have with you're close best friends. But there's no friendships on this show. Who in real life chats away about their sex lives with the parents and siblings? This post is so dead on that I usually would ask you to marry me. However, given the nature of the post, I believe the appropriate question is "Will you be my friend?" 5 Link to comment

P3pp3rb1rd June 30, 2016 Share June 30, 2016 I don't get why Griffin is confiding so completely in Anna about the reasons for his temporary suspension from the priesthood. He didn't know Dewq, his Dad, but we are supposed to believe that because Anna and Dewq were married, Griffin would feel so close to Anna, a relative stranger, that he would bare his most personal feelings and mistakes to her? To make matters worse, Anna responds with her typical grunts, negative body language, and squinting sideways looks that may be effective when interrogating dangerous prisoners, but should be off-putting in these intensely personal conversations with the priest. Meanwhile, Nathan's tolerance of Maxie's manufactured drama and sarcastic rudeness about the wedding gown and preparations warned of a depressing future for their marriage. It was impossible to avoid wincing when Maxie screamed at Nathan for accidentally seeing her dress. When he came home early from work to surprise her, Maxie exploded, blowing up the incident as bad luck and a reason to discard the gown, which had been difficult to find and procure. By ignoring Maxie's Bridezilla ways, Nathan is accepting a deep layer of Maxie's character that will cause him pain and unpleasant uproar countless times in their married life. If they have any children, she will give them a parental example of rude sarcasm and volatile anger, disrespecting their father. 1 Link to comment

Finn I'm dying of a no name disease where there is no cure and no funding to find a cure.

Asp Burger June 30, 2016 Share June 30, 2016 Yeah, I wasn't really sure how they were going to play the latest Corinthos-versus-Quatermaine love triangle. I was looking to today's show, with all three characters in the same place, to be determinative. I have no doubt now that Killon is the root-for couple, at least for the next year or so. Unless Kiki did the Kelly Taylor "I choose me" move, whichever guy walked out of that scene rejected and unhappy would be the long-range guy to watch. She would hug the one that was left and we'd get the patented "eyes of uncertainty over the shoulder" shot. And we got it, plus a lingering look at Bry-Dawg's back hair. That analogy about a kid running with scissors was such a WTF moment. That's a dliemma? There's an argument for letting children run with scissors, because if they stab themselves, they learn a valuable lesson? Nurse Amy fascinates me. The actress is pretty funny, although it skirts that line of offensiveness where things are supposed to be funnier because she's a bigger woman (like "He could interrogate me all night long" about a guy we're supposed to think is way out of her league). I laughed at Hayden's frustrated "Why is she always around?" about Liz. Because it's where she works? Now I look forward to seeing how on earth she's supposed to get a needle and syringe to Finn in jail. Nina and Franco...make it stop. They just aren't important enough or interesting enough to have emotional breakup scenes every month. 8 Link to comment

Asking Dillon to stay away from her and that they shouldn't be friends was uncalled for. Morgan may be more stable now but he is rushing back into things with Kiki way too fast. On a superficial note, Liz looks pretty in bright red scrubs and Nina's hairstylist needs to rethink that style. 12 Link to comment

Yep, Morgan does seem to fit the stalker description to a certain extent also. And his mother Carly is at least as overpowering as Tracy any day of the week too. Imagine the ugly feeling when the spectre of an irate Carly stomps up like a T-Rex and snarls orders to treat her baby boy right. If Kiki had been more experienced, she could have cut Carly down to size instead of gulping like a goldfish out of water. 2 Link to comment

P3pp3rb1rd June 30, 2016 Share June 30, 2016 Does the show get that both Morgan and Dillon are crowding Kiki and disrespecting her right to make a choice between them? Or are we supposed to think that they are both madly in love with the Keeks, and that the whole situation is soooo blissfully romantic? Neither man understands that true love takes time to develop and is based on mutually pleasant experiences. Both of them see it as a power struggle, with Kiki as the prize of their dog fight. And Carly clearly sees the struggle in those terms too. Isn't the show itself smarter than that? 2 Link to comment

Just like just because I have symptoms of appendicitis, and look up the symptoms on WebMD, doesn't mean that's what it is. It doesn't seem like it was stated definitively, so there's certainly wiggle room, especially on a medium where we see people die and then miraculously come back. 1 Link to comment
dubbel zout July 1, 2016 Share July 1, 2016 I'm glad they dropped the menopause story, because it was awful and insulting, as it usually the case with GH and these kinds of stories. Alexis runs around wondering why she's hot all the time (and it's played totally for laughs), and fucking SONNY has to tell her she's going through menopause? LOL at Liz seeing Franco at the hospital and immediately running away. I would, too. Sonny talking to Anna about Julian was such a joke. Sonny uses the people he loves just as much as Julian does. I don't know why Alexis doesn't threaten to get rid of the baby if Julian doesn't confess. You want answers? Play hardball, Alexis. The Finn stuff was deeply stupid. I really hate that it's going to be Lauren's fault when Morgan loses it again. 9 Link to comment

The ONLY way this entirely too-long story would have any redeeming value for me right now would be if DA Hornsby would find an irrefutable way for Sonny to be accused of killing Carlos. Some sudden information, maybe a doctored film of the dock with Carlos screaming "No, Sonny, no. Don't stab me again and again with Alexis's dagger while wearing latex gloves!" A film that Spinelli or Sam couldn't debunk and that could send Sonny away for a long, long time (maybe in the same cell as Dr. Finn and his withdrawal screaming). Because watching Sonny being locked up for something like that might actually be fun. Then they could cancel GH before he gets out and AJ can come dance outside his cell. yes, I'm putting that out in the universe. 9 Link to comment

No human interest or romantic etc in this story. Just protracted suffering. I think the Show is desperate to keep the actress who plays Hayden on screen as much as possible, but her sl collapsed when the Nik actor left abruptly. The actress is somebody's pet favorite, as Sabrina was a fave or related to some Disney honcho, so we are being forced to put up with this stupid and depressing sl just to keep Hayden Pet Princess on stage with something to do. 2 Link to comment
