Episode Discussion: TFGH

[statsgirl]

I imagine if anyone asked why Peter was there, he would say that it was because he was the publisher of the magazine and okayed the article that started the whole thing happening.  Where I live, people go to funerals for people they've never met and have only worked with a relative such as a spouse to show their respect.

I don't think the Lulu/Maxie being at odds would last long but they had to have that scene of Maxie lashing out at Lulu, the audience expected it.

I think it's still a pretty hot mess, but at least it isn't stultifying like with JP. I do think CVE was given two big advantages though that she wasn't though - SB returning, and being allowed to stop writing Nelle as a heroine/having to write the Michael/Nelle romance.

I think SBu coming back was a liability rather than an advantage.  It gave the show a shot of publicity but CvE doesn't seem to want to idolize the mob (look at Rita lighting into Sonny for being mean to Mike) and SBu coming back forces him to write even more for the mob now.

Forget that. Why does Peter even EXIST? He shouldn't. He should go bye bye. And if it makes LW upset, oh well.

I think it might be okay if Maxie and Lulu are never besties again.  It will be difficult for Maxie to get past this and Lulu is acting like an airhead.  So how will Maxie ever get past that?  If Lulu was a real person, maybe.  At this point she is just a bobble head.

I agree; Maxie looks and acts utterly bereft, and she is still expecting Nathan's child. The child, if it survives, will be a constant reminder that Lulu's actions contributed to Nathan's death. Only if the child dies or is taken by Faison or one of his henchmen can Maxi and Lulu even think about re-establishing their friendship. There's been a major sea change in it.

 I'm on the fence right now as to whether SBu's return was an advantage or a disadvantage.  Initially, yes.  But, his story has bogged down badly - as has Drew's and Sam's.   I'm in wait and see mode.

I've been on vacation for the past 2 weeks and just caught up on my GH. It didn't take nearly as long as I expected because I found myself FF any scene that featured Sonny, Carly, Sam, Jason, Drew, or Nelle.  That funeral scene was certainly a tear jerker.  And, all I can say is that if we have to lose the eye candy that was Ryan Paevey, I'm really hoping we get a lot more scenes with Donnell Turner.  If I have to put up with them inserting Sonny and Company into every storyline, I need a gorgeous man to look at.  Goodness knows Mo isn't going to be that man, no matter how hot he is in his own mind.

Man, he really is a joy to look at.  I also love his friendship with Drew.  I'm meh on his romance with Jordan, but I do think he adds something to every scene he's in.

I meant to also add that I only managed to watch the first two or three scenes with Max Gail. But then I just had to fast forward because of Bernard. He SUCKS THE AIR out of every scene, and I just can't watch. It's too painful. Though it wouldn't affect him one way or another, because Mooby is such a narcissistic, self-absorbed fool, I did like Mike's 'it never changes, does it?" Like nothing Mike ever does or says is good enough, because Mooby will always think he's better and that Mike is the albatross he has to suffer having around his neck. FUCK YOU, Mooby. Because we all know he'll (Mooby) make Mike's Alzheimer's all about HIMSELF.

As for Peter, well, the few scenes I've watched, he seems like he's more Lulu's boss than Maxie's. And even then, a boss for a hot minute. Did he even know Nathan? Even if I can hand wave most of it away, that, okay, he could have shown up to the funeral service; but walking up to Nathan's casket, as if he was family or a good friend? Fuck off with that noise; or the grave site service. Or was he just lurking then?

I would have thought that Maxie would have put the bloodied sonogram with Nathan in the casket, near his heart instead of on the ground, where it will probably dry up and float away.

And though Maxie has every right to rip into Lulu for setting in motion the actions of Faison coming to town, I don't think anyone could have predicted he would have shot Nathan in the chest just because. I thought that bit was out of character, myself. That he should suddenly turn and shoot before he even saw who was there? Or did he see Nathan, and just see COP! and shoot? Either way, I know it's not the same, but if Lulu and Maxie could make up and stay friends after Maxie miscarried Lulu's baby and then tried to pass her own child off as Lulu and Dante's...then I don't see Lulu and Maxie's friendship imploding over this. Even if Lulu was SPECTACULARLY STOOPID and should have foreseen something like this would happen. But I guess being frozen probably froze off and destroyed the smart Spencer genes she had. Emme's Lulu is nothing but a whining Bratz doll bobble head. She lacks the edge and snark that Julie Berman had and made her a believable child of Luke and Laura Spencer.

As GHScorpiosRule said, it's really crazy that Maxie and Lulu came back from the baby Georgie/Connie mess given how vicious they both were to each other.  So I'm sure the show will have them come back from this too.

That said, I am really looking forward to Maxie laying into Lulu today.  If this was a British soap, Lulu would get shoved into an open grave and I would have been here for that too.

His relationship with Jordan bores me, as well.  I think that's because these writers cannot for the life of them write a good, strong, and interesting female. She either has to be crazier than a box of cats, a complete bitch, or boring as possible.  But I agree that he adds something to ever scene he is in and think we should see him in more scenes.  Many many more scenes.

She gets into a car and accidentally runs Charlotte over and oops, accidentally blinds/deafens/paralyzes her. (At first I was going to type Rocco, but then I realized if they ever did this scenario it would so Charlotte so Nina could wring her hands too.)

It's funny you said that because what's going on with Maxie and Lulu kinda reminds of me of Kendall and Greenlee on AMC, that Zach was presumed dead in the course of helping Greenlee and Kendall lashed out at her and Greenlee (in a very annoying fashion) kept badgering Kendall to forgive her.  And Greenlee once also accidentally deafened Kendall's child, although I believe they later retconned that as being something that would have happened anyway.

That's what I was thinking of (and also when Lucy tampered with someone's car on Port Charles and as a result Serena got blinded).

And yes, they retconned what happened with Spike, when Greenlee got re re cast with Budig.

This pregnancy of Anna's (IF IT DID HAPPEN), would have been at least two decades before ELQ made condoms. That's my theory and I'm sticking to it.

But yes, if this show bothered to do any research or pick up any good spy novel, the writers would know that the female agents would be on birth control in case of rape or having to have sex with marks/targets/suspects.

I know I've talked about it before, but I just cannot stand Emme Rylan as Lulu.  I know that part of the blame falls on the writers, but she just seems so weak and whiny.  I think back to 2007 when they did that Metro Court Hostage situation during February sweeps.  JMB was portraying Lulu at the time.  During the name game, she referred to herself as Screw You Lulu and then she showed such vulnerability with trying to help Robin after she was shot.  I just can't see Emme pulling off either of those situations.  I think I would roll my eyes at her trying to sound tough with her name and would just be annoyed with her crying over Robin.  I wish we could see how JMB would have handled the reporter storyline and the current storyline of Maxie blaming her for everything.  I can't help but think it would be less annoying.

[ulkis]

Right or wrong, Maxie calling Lulu out on thinking her two weeks of experience made her some kind of award-caliber investigative journalist was delicious.  And Maxie turning to Dante to deny what she was saying was true and Dante not being able to...ooof.  I'm sure Lulu will use that as her excuse when she bounces over to LWB/FS.

It's lame - and very "General Hospital" - that we hear about this LGBT friend of Oscar and Joss' being bullied and see Oscar being bullied on his behalf, but never see said friend.

HATE when characters use Sonny's name as a threat.  You're on The List, Joss!

I wish ER would cut her hair at the edges. Between the fake platinum and the stringy ends, it seems so doll-like to me.

I hate that Mac and Felicia were "Please take care of our Maxie" to Spinelli.  I never liked that relationship, it made her even more of an airhead.  KSt is still doing so much with Maxie.  I liked her outcry that she has to stay there until the horror of Nathan's death is truly in her.

I get the feeling that if Valentin had the chance to get together with Anna, he would dump Nina in a heartbeat. Also, shut up about Jason and his relentlessness. It's pure pandering to SBu fans.

There was a nice moment of emotional conflict between Drew, who desperately wanted to see the rabbit's foot in case he can remember something about his past, and Franco, who is afraid that Drew will remember him pushing him down the stairs.  (Which I totally think BJ did.) 

It seems weird to me that Alexis didn't go to the funeral. Maybe it's just that here everyone goes to services.

Shut up, Joss.  Although I shouldn't be surprised that Carly's daughter is entitled and has no manners.

He heard it worked for Sonny

No one could have predicted that Faison would shoot Nathan but anyone who knew him (Anna, Liesl, Felicia, Mac, etc.) or who knew criminal masterminds (Lulu, Valentin, Alexis, anyone who knew the Cassadines) should have predicted that he was off the charts dangerous and people were going to get hurt.  I don't have any sympathy for Lulu, she should have known what A monster like Faison would do but she didn't care, she just wanted to make a name for herself.  It's quite Luke actually.

[BlancheDevoreaux]

I'm interested in y'all's opinions and forgive me if I sound like a complete moron asking this.  In the past, GH has done ghost storylines.  Do you think that is what they were going for with Georgie and Nathan appearing to Maxie or do you think it was supposed to be just her grief conjuring them up to help her get through this?

[LexieLily]

Maxie wasn't actually wrong in anything that she said, but I hate that Nina was around for the lashing-out. Nina doesn't have the right to be telling who can and can't come around Maxie.

I wonder who answered the phone when Lulu called. Mac and Felicia, if they said it would be best if Lulu stayed away and that Maxie didn't want to see anyone at this time, Lulu was right to respect that because Mac and Felicia are Maxie's parents and they should be closing ranks and protecting her and the unborn grandchild at this time. What I don't want to see start to happen is for Nina or Liesl, more likely Nina, to manipulate Maxie's grief in such a way that they turn Maxie even more against Lulu. 

Why was Peter even at the funeral? No one knows he is Faison's son and Nathan's secret brother. He's been an employee at Crimson for a month or two at best and how many people do you know that go to a co-worker's/mere acquaintance's funeral?

Peter was at the funeral because it's classic soap.  Secret brother, who used innocent brother to lure their father to town, brought about that brother's death.  I would have been surprised if he was not there.

And "dead" Robert, who asked Luke to look after Robin, when Stone died. Of course I knew that "dead" Robin blaming Robert when she was "killed" wasn't really her, it was Robert's manifestation of guilt. And I was proven right a week later when we saw Robin very much alive. There was "Stone," who we all thought was a ghost, but according to Guzasshole, he was a manifestation of Robin's subconscious, to which I said and say, whatthefuckever. But it was nice to see him again.

[Linny]

Lulu telling Dante she's quitting her job because that will "show Maxie she's sorry" and will "make things right" proves she didn't understand anything that Maxie yelled at her. Maxie's husband is DEAD, there's no making it right, and if Maxie means so much to Lulu then Lulu should have listened to her fears instead of pushing for the Faison story. Lulu ignored Maxie and put her own needs first, and now this one-dimensional apology is an extension of that behavior. I don't think Lulu feels truly guilty at all, she's just giving off the appearance that she is because she doesn't like having Maxie be mad at her.

I suppose Spinelli's heart was in the right place, but I understand how Maxie would see his offer as callous. She can't run away from her grief, all she can do is bear the burden until it gradually lessens over time. I liked her little encouraging pep talk to her baby; I know there's always an overabundance of pregnancies and seldom seen children on GH, but I hope this baby is healthy and safe and gives Maxie some much needed joy.

Probably some combination of both?  I dunno.  Like, that time Ghost!Georgie tapped Robin on the shoulder so she'd intervene and stop Maxie from committing suicide (...which, you know, Robin might want to remember right about now) played more as an actual ghost thing versus this Georgie appearance.

Spinelli was in a no win situation.  He needed to let Maxie know that she could go to Portland and stay with her daughter anytime she wanted/needed.  At the same time he knew she would probably be upset that he asked.  She knows that as much as she loves her daughter, visiting her will only put off a major part of her grief,  needing to come to terms with living in her and Nathan's home by herself.  No matter how long she were to visit Georgie, all of those feeling would come flooding back the moment she walked through her front door.  It is good that Spinelli made the offer but maybe it would be better if he brought Georgie back to Port Charles to visit her mother.  It is really hard for loved ones to know what the right things to say or do.  You just need to be there to for support.  It is such a helpless feeling when someone you love is hurting so much and there is not a damn thing you can do to make it better.

It’s getting crowded, and I’m sure Nelle and Michael’s baby has first dibs on the next open slot.

Maxie's dressing down of Lesley Lu lacked the satisfaction I wanted for 3 reasons.  1.  That Carly/LW was missing from the scene to stand there gobsmacked that Maxie went off on her mini-me cousin; 2. that it wasn't JMB still in the role.  JMB was a bitch to the max in her portrayal and was so overdue for crap to be flung back in LesleyLu's face in a public setting and 3.  that Elizabeth wasn't there to see it.  

[YaddaYadda]

Everything Maxie said about Lulu was true. 

I wish they'd stop with those Valentin/Anna scenes. 

I don't know how Maxie goes back to Crimson, or even Nina. 

[P3pp3rb1rd]

Will the Show ever stop with the Alexis-meets-up-accidentally-with Julian-at-his-own-place scenes? Today Finn took her there for coffee and they ran into Julian, who contrived to make Alexis jealous by walking Kim home with a food order. Alexis and Julian are portrayed like two teenagers in high school who broke up but are still stalking each other. And Kim, a full-fledged doctor, looks like a high school cheerleader herself with that long part-greasy hairdo, Bambi eyes, and flirty giggle. She's the newbie out-of-towner who's trying to fit into the teen couples scene.

Are we watching "Grease"?

I like Finn/Alexis WAY better than Anna/Finn. It brings Alexis back to sassy snarky life. Anna/Finn had a weird forced chemistry and weary teary Anna is no fun, but we will probably have to deal with that until her child drama is resolved ...which I'm sure will take forever.

I too like Alexis and Finn together. They appear to like each other and have something in common. I’m so worn out with teary eyed Anna which is so out of character considering her fierce assed WSB history. I do give huge props to Maxie for her portrayal of the grief stricken widow. I think she’s done a masterful job with this story line. Her last scene talking to her unborn child was so well done. I just hope she stays strong for herself and her child. And I did also like the grave scene with Nina and Valentin. I thought that was well done on both of their parts. 

[movingtargetgal]

Kirsten Storms has been absolutely amazing over the past few weeks.  She really deserves an Emmy.  Mr. Moving and I were just talking about the fact that they could get rid of Sonny and Carly and refocus the show on Maxie's journey over the next year.  Maxie is pregnant and has just lost her husband.  It will be heartbreaking to watch her return to work, the office where her soulmate was brutally murdered.  Maxie will be going to doctor's appointments and childbirth classes without Nathan.  She will give birth and raise their child without him there.  Our Maxie may seem like a silly, shallow and semi fragile woman but when you scratch below the surface she is made of steel.  I have always admired Maxie's ability to move forward no matter what life has thrown at her.  When she was a small child a virus damaged her heart and she desperately needed a heart transplant.  In a cruel twist of fate her cousin and best friend, BJ, was brain dead after being in a bus accident.  Her aunt and uncle gave BJ's heart to Maxie.  I can't imagine the survivors guilt Maxie has endured but she kept going determined to live her life not only for herself but for BJ too.  Both of Maxie's parent left her and her sister in the care of Mac (the best dad ever) so they could play international spy.  Maxie fell in love with two police officers, Jesse and Cooper, who were both murdered.  In the month's before Cooper was murdered, Maxie's sister, Georgie, was murdered.  And now, Nathan has been murdered and she is pregnant and alone.  Maxie has done some bad things when she was younger, but she has matured into a wonderful woman.  Maxie Jones is the epitome of an old fashion soap opera heroine.

All of this!

I guess I should have felt bad for Lulu today - and maybe I did for a minute- but I kinda lost that feeling when she kept staying there to plead her case - to defend herself - instead of taking Dante's wise suggestions (suggestions plural) to leave.   Like you, I thought this scenario turned more into Lulu's need to be liked by Maxie than about Maxie's loss.  

I was also discouraged by the way the focus between Dante and Lulu became all about her.   Dante loses his best friend and partner and, as usually happens in their relationship, the post-funeral aftemath becomes all about Lulu's needs instead of his own. Instead of her supporting him, he is once again supporting her.  I read a thread on twitter today entitled:  "Why being supportive kills Dante slowly ."  That's about it, IMO.

Re Spin, I expect Maxie will be grateful later.  But I admire Maxie's choice to tough it out.  Recently, I talked to a widow who went a very difficult mourning period a couple of years after her husband's death because she had had the resources to go into a long travel frenzy and kept running away from the hard work.
