Darklazr November 13, 2016 Share November 13, 2016 RC has never met an incest, rape or sexual misconduct story that he did not want to write to make fans vomit, so he clearly did not know enough about Alexis' history to write her maybe being raped by Stavros and Sam was the outcome. He could have tied that story in with Stavros kidnapping Lulu and the whole embryo baby thermos stuff. 2 hours ago, TeeVee329 said: Nope, no to changing Sam's paternity. Nothing is more irritating to me than constantly revising a character's paternity because a story doesn't work, a la Rex on OLTL. This was an unresolved story thread for so long, leave it sewn up. Turning Rexx Balsom and David Vickers into Buchanan's pissed me off, when the show did not need those two clowns tied to a core family. Rexx already had faux sister Natalie and mother Roxie and don't get me started on Roxie not being that clown's biological mother. 2 Link to comment
Bringonthedrama November 13, 2016 Share November 13, 2016 4 hours ago, Perkie said: Here's a question, why did the writers deliberately have the Davis coven leave before Sonny's little "look at me show"? It was a very obvious, "Sam has had enough, let's get her home" and all four of them got up and left the church. Was it just because Haley and Lexi have reached their maximums for the month? Just seemed very weird to me, like there was a specific purpose that they didn't want them in the church during that scene. Haley may have reached her maximum, if she's still under 18 yrs old. Maybe the Josslyn actress, also a minor, reached her maximum as well? I think the writers wanted "the kids" gone for Sonny's "I'm gonna kill myself" moment. They don't want him to appear to be a violent, selfish, traumatizing-the-youngest-of-the-family monster. The youngest people there in the final moment were Michael and Nelle (both mid-20s?). I saw that Joss was gone; Michael and Jax were sitting next to Carly instead in the last moments of the episode. Also, Sonny and Kristina just had a scene where Kristina wanted to know why he sounded like he was saying goodbye, and he b.s.-ed his response so as to calm her down. She's been crying in front of and next to him. Once she's gone, he figures he can make a show of wanting to shoot himself without his reckless daughter lunging for the gun and getting shot. "Sam's had enough" was a good excuse to get the young, emotional daughter and niece out of there. Also, the last time Kristina and Molly were in that church (for their Mom's wedding), a dude had a gun pointed at them. Having them scared about a gun again in a church so soon would be kinda repetitious. 1 Link to comment

Vella November 13, 2016 Share November 13, 2016 (edited) When Alexis first started to talk about her long lost child, she remembered having a son, not a daughter. Couple that with Helena's longstanding hatred of Alexis and no DNA test being done, it would be so easy to bring about a story where it comes out that not only is Sam not a Davis, but that she found out about it years ago and kept quiet, first out of desire to hurt Alexis even further, and then later, because she forgave her and actually began to welcome her place in their family. Years go by and then here comes a new male Cassadine, raised by Helena, not a lunatic like Stavros but not weak minded for useless blonde women like Stefan. At first it's suggested that Alexis had twins, hence her memory of a son, but then Sam starts to get squirrely because she knows they aren't related. It would only work with good writers not intent on the usual MEAN Alexis vs VICTIM Sam/Jason story that went on for EONS before someone mercifully ended that noise. And if GH is intent on rebuilding the Cassadines, they need to do better than Sam, NATHAN and this emo, watered down, pathetic attempt to recreate Stefan, known as Valentin.

I would happy accept this, only if GH gets a real producer and head writer(s) that actually know and respect the damn history of the show. Ala, what Y&R is about to have happen. Fix this crap and I am willing to stretch my bs meter. Yes, Zander should've been her son. Keep Dr. Cameron as his father. Just say that college student Alexis had an affair with her professor(Dr. Cameron). She couldn't handle a baby with her crazy family. He decides to secretly adopt his son with his wife. Or just say that his wife forgave him and wanted a baby to raise. This would've been a great story to have with Alexis/Kristina/Parker. Alexis seeing her daughter committingthe same blunder that she herself made as a college student. A major problem with this shit hole of a show is the fact that Sonny, like Victor Newman, can't lose. And it just plain sucks. I have a hard buying that law enforcement is this incompetent for this long. And Sonny is a mobster AND town sainted good guy. Everybody forgives Sonny after a few weeks. Damn it, Michael is calling him Dad and his father after Sonny swore not to harm AJ. AND the asshole murdered AJ. And covered it up! The psycho finally went to prison for murder and mere weeks later he had a fucking pardon from the governor for serendipitously being around after escaping prison and throwing a bomb off a boat. 5 Link to comment

What is disconcerting to this viewer is that there are scenes where he is able to deliver his lines flawlessly but the majority of time he doesn't care - nor do the editors. It's hard enough to tell my brain that it is alright to watch this violent thug that hijacked my soap opera. It is quite another to train my brain to watch a professional (and those behind the scenes) who doesn't care about his craft. 3 Link to comment

Oracle42 November 13, 2016 Share November 13, 2016 (edited) I loved Zander and Alexis's relationship and he's actually a character I always wanted to see in a better story, but the Davis Coven is one of the few things on this show that isn't shitty and I don't want to lose that. Plus, if the point was to use it hurt Alexis, she'd have told her because Sam did hate Alexis and she blamed her for everything . And at the time, all she cared about was Jason, if she'd been able to sever the link with Alexis, she'd have done it in a heartbeat I liked CB. It would actually be doable to have his suicide by cop faked for witness protection. Especially since everyone involved is dead and gone and SWSNBN is actually the one who killed the cop.

And at the time, all she cared about was Jason, if she'd been able to sever the link with Alexis, she'd have done it in a heartbeat I get that but for years after the reveal, Sam became the figurehead of the Davis family and the others gravitated around her. Any remotely interesting story Alexis got almost immediately featured Sam, relegating Alexis to a supporting role. Sam was constantly taking Alexis' role in Kristina's life, Sam got a relationship with Nikolas when Kristina and Molly had nothing and still have nothing and even Alexis barely got time with her nephew. It's been a continuous problem. It's gotten a bit better since Guza was fired, but to me, I see a family revolving almost exclusively around 1 member and her relationship with Jason and how wonderful and perfect Sam is. Krolly have zero issue calling each other out, they have zero problem yelling at Alexis or being yelled at by Alexis, but somehow, that never falls on Sam, because Sam is wonderful and they all squeal happily at Jason/Sam. The same goes for the Cassadine family where Nikolas goes through the meat grinder for Sam/Jason and Helena suddenly cares about Sam/Jason and gives a laughable curse while ignoring Krolly. Ridiculous, but that has always been the problem thread. The focus is on Sam. Always. I resent the hell out of it. And Sam is a con artist. She was the woman who loathed Alexis, but had zero problem moving in, taking a job Alexis arranged and pretending to be a happy Davis family member all the while planning to seduce Ric and blow up the Rexis family. And she did it successfully, so I can absolutely believe she'd hang on to an ace card like "I'm not really your long lost daughter" for awhile longer, knowing it would crush Alexis the longer the charade went on. 1 Link to comment

God, it's his son's funeral. Morgan felt like he was second to everyone in life, which is why he drank and was so not great with his mental health, so maybe instead of worrying about brokers and bombs and mob stuff; perhaps Sonny, Carly, Jason, Sam, Julian, Alexis can all shut up and stop being shitty people who do stupid illegal shit and wonder why their lives suck. Maybe Sonny can stop running around and shooting people and/or carrying a gun, threatening to kill people. That might eliminate about 75% of his problems right there. Like, dude. Chill out.
