sometimesfan January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Everyone looked at me like I was a goddamn lunatic when I kept insisting they'd said he wanted to be a doctor or had gone off to med school like nine years ago, but time and fate bore me out! I'm still 75% sure I didn't imagine it! Same here! It was during that time I was paying attention to the show on a much greater basis. Lucas can become the doctor that treats everything and everybody when Easton leaves. 4 Link to comment
P3pp3rb1rd January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 (edited) Patrick and Sam will announce the joyous news that they are expecting twin boys...... and then Robin walks in. ....at which time he will immediately begin to refer to them as 'those babies'. And as Patrick and Sam drive home from one of Emma's endless recitals (ballet/piano/dance/gymnastics, etc) a terrible car accident will ensue, whereupon Sam will lose those babies so that Patrick can be torn between true love Robin and Sam of the long dark hair, who has had "lots of sex". Emma will lament that she has lost 2 more "almost" baby brothers, known as "ShamooA and ShamooB" at the hospital where Patrick has carried them after delivering them.

Chairperson Meow January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 I need Lucas to up his asshole game then if he's allegedly taking ME's spot. Stop being nice, dammit. And quit with the Golden Girls crap. I'm going to also call Leisel singing that Frozen song at the Ball that never ends. 1 Link to comment
P3pp3rb1rd January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 At the rate the show is going next years Ball will in the prison yard where most of the cast is, so I guess we'll be getting Richard Simmons back for a workout-themed music video. Sad news for the throngs of GH fans who have been storming the execs, begging them to Bring Sexy Back. In the past year, Richard's friends have been turned away by his housekeeper as he stays cooped up in his home in misery, eating and crying in a deep depression. He has been told that he needs a second knee operation, and is dreading it very much. He does not go into his exercise studio or appear. His first knee operation was apparently quite painful. He admits he has "issues" and is trying to face the problems. http://www.foxnews.com/entertainment/2014/11/14/richard-simmons-speaks-out-after-reports-is-depressed/ 2 Link to comment

Mrs OldManBalls January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Do you object to Bobbie, an olds, having ever-hot sex in general or having ever-hot sex with Scott? Scott is the problem IMO, not Bobbie's age.

Francie January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 (edited) I've had little good to say about the show lately, but I will acknowledge that Jackie Zeman was back in good form, performance-wise, in her scenes with Michael at the Spencer family home. They let her be a grown up instead of the middle-school rival of Lucy Coe, and Jackie expertly handled them. To date, she's the brightest part of this Fluke storyline. Hopefully Tony shakes off the urge to engage in experimental art and infuses some realism and grounded emotion into his scenes. Edited January 11, 2015 by Francie 5 Link to comment

tvgoddess January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 I want to keep Silas and Ava. I'm a terrible person. I'll be half-terrible with you, Grrpants. Ava can stay. Count me in on the half-terrible team. Bye Silas, you human Ambien. Ava's what brought me back to this show, it was boring as hell. And here she isn't onscreen, and I'm incredibly bored again. The last two episodes I literally fell asleep watching. I got annoyed that I had to sit through the dreck twice. I don't care about Fluke, and who he is. And even though Luke is gross and disgusting, I cannot watch him being held in that basement strapped to that chair another minute. It's just more levels of gross and disgusting when you actually force yourself to think about it. Along with Dante and Nathan being gross (they ended up making me root for Johnny, so that plan backfired on me), Carly being gross with Jake, and the rest being a boring comafest, I don't know what is keeping me watching at the moment. Rumors out that KA refused to take a pay cut, so she took a hike. Excuse me while I LMAO. 6 Link to comment

DayPlayerAtKellys January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 No more murdering of characters. Recast or have Kiki leave town. She has every reason to go (mother's in jail, she's made a huge mess of her relationships, misses NYC, etc) - just have her go when Michael gets control of Avery (they've already started building the foundation for this storyline - which would be perfect - Michael adopts Avery forcing Sonny to sign away his parental rights... no meat hook needed although that wouldn't be a bad thing). I dont have the disdain for the character or the actress that most seem to, but I won't miss Kiki either. Roger should go - Franco just has nowhere left to go. Silas should stay, there's still some more for him to do especially since he's a doctor and "Hospital" is in the name of the show. Yes, Lucas should be working as a doctor (and yes yes yes please stop the references to Golden Girls already... does Ron get some sort of royalty check for every mention?). Speaking of which.. shouldn't Lucas and Bobbie be nostalgic about the Brownstone.. this is supposed to be a revival of the Brownstone that they lived in in the 90s, right? Congrats to the props and sets department who recreated Johnny's apartment so well. Love Michael's office - it seems to be nicer/bigger/lighter than when it was AJs office. I don't know how I feel about the Fluke/Patricia/Luke stuff. On one hand, if there's any way that Patricia is Fluke then how on Earth does Tracey not know (they have both made many references to sex esp last spring). Wouldn't she notice that er um something was missing? Other than that piece, it would sort of kind of work but I'm pretty sure that daytime (and ABC) is not going to go in the direciton of a deranged lesbian transgender character. Since we haven't ever heard of Patricia up until this past week, it's hard for me to care about her and the Spencer backstory esp since realLuke has been missing as a regular characer for about a year and a half and Bobbie has been on sporadically at best. And frankly I only care about Bill Eckert to the degree that it's at least not a mask - but the Eckert story is over 20 years old and no one he was attached to is on the show - they couldn't even be bothered to show us Jenny (his sister and a major character back in the day) and Sly (his son, who really should have been the Australian whatshisname that was involved with Maxie - see there are perks to getting older, I've forgotten useless characters that I hated). I want to love this show but the show seems to be actively resisting being loved. This is a type of soap writing/producing that I will never understand but seems to be rampant in the 21st century (see also Dena Higley, Chuck Pratt, Bob Guza). 7 Link to comment
sometimesfan January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 I can see RH staying longer even as Franco because he and MS work well together, Scotty and Heather: The Next Generation. Also for all the rumors of MS wanting to return to Y&R GT has done a great job as a recast there unless she wants to leave. OTOH ME really has nothing except that he's a doctor with patients we never see because the show made him a doctor in a very specialized field. Link to comment

No, they made him a doctor period. Lots of people get cancer. It is almost go to storyline for emmy bait. Sly (his son, who really should have been the Australian whatshisname that was involved with Maxie - see there are perks to getting older, I've forgotten useless characters that I hated). What was wrong with Sly? I thought he was a nice kid and enjoyed him with Lucky. It seemed to be the concensus that he was the least annoying member of that family. If the show isn't going to bring Lucky back, even as a recast, I think cousin Sly could partially fill the void. Maybe Mark Lawson could be him.

dubbel zout January 11, 2015 Share January 11, 2015 Silas is an oncologist, and the other doctors are also specialists: Britt was an OB/GYN, Patrick is a brain surgeon, Monica is a heart surgeon, Robin is a brain researcher, etc. But of course, all the docs seem to be able to do everything when the plot demands it: Sirhan Surgeon was a plastic surgeon/uterus fixer/sniper. 2 Link to comment

DayPlayerAtKellys January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 Thanks.. I'm not a 'she', I'm a 'he' btw but that's besides the point. :) I think I got the Sly/Levi connection was that there was some spec at the time that Levi appeared around the time that Fluke did and there was some talk of connection. Since Fluke was considered to be Bill Eckert even back then, Sly being Levi was floated. It got more traction when he revealed that he was American and faking the accent. Then, there was the reveal that he was the son of an old obscure beau of Felicia.... and well, whatever that turned out to be was what it turned out to be (I'm sure we haven't seen the last of deranged Levi because all he had was a stab wound. Even if you're shot through the heart as Helena was, you don't die. It makes me think of that Soapdish line - "He doesn't have a HEAD!") But if RC didn't take the opportunity to show us Sly on the phone now, its doubtful that he'll show up in relation to this story - which he should so that at the very least he can refute Bobbie's retconning of his history (Bill and Sly had a great relationship and never beat him.. ridiculous rewrite and unecessary if Sly isn't showing up to play that fallout once Bill is revealed). 1 Link to comment
jsbt January 12, 2015 Share January 12, 2015 (edited) I think they were casting for Sly at one point last year, but I believe that was when they didn't know Tony would be gone so long. There's a whole lot of shit we were apparently supposed to see last year that we didn't (or we all got trolled by someone, which is a definite possibility). Since I still think this is Bill, I still don't expect this story to end without seeing either Sly, Jenny or both. Edited January 12, 2015 by jsbt Link to comment

That is a red flag in Ron's writing. The way the show seems to be playing it really fucking disgusts me, because it seems like it's a setup for him saying "I can't do it - I am Sonny and Carly's son after all!"
