Deputy Deputy CoS January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Michael's strong defense of Jake was nonsense. Just like that insta bond. Sam's face was hilarious when Carly apologized to her. I think she was expecting to see pigs fly next. I appreciate that kind of nuanced acting. KeMo doesn't get enough credit IMO JZ was painfully bad today when she said "the pollllliiiiiccceeee??" after Lucas told her where Sam and Patrick were. Brad was missing an eye roll when he explained why they went to the PCPD. "The care of the missing Phoenix" Hee! 4 Link to comment
ulkis January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 -LOL @ Michael randomly yelling at Maxie and Lulu about Jake's innocence. "I only spoke with him for 2 seconds, but HEWOULDNEVERDOTHAT ARGHHHHH!!!!" He comes by his Jason love honestly. -Why would Patrick want to leave Sam alone to talk to a supposed dangerous person? Frank Valentini: Jason, today Patrick is so angry at Sam he's gonna drop her in a tank of sharks. Okay, go! -Nik and this random chick is worse than the randomness of Milo and Pip. What is with this regime and everything happening off-screen? He hooked up with her on New Year's. Honestly, I have no trouble believing Nik is always just randomly "escorting" random debutantes off-screen in between bemoaning about Emily. -DZ is better than this shit he's been given. Yup yup. The important thing is he usually shows up, because I think you can say most of the actors are better than this stuff, but a lot of them are sleepwalking through it. I just want to vomit all over the attic Joss locked her nanny in. lol. I found that line funny but at the same time I don't like Jax's daughter being such a complete freaking brat. At least she seems intelligent though. (unlike a certain kid whose name rhymes with shmencer.) 8 Link to comment
Turtle January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 I don't mind Ivy. I actually think it's nice for Nik to date someone new, who's not related to him by blood or marriage, and who isn't Not-Emily. I do wish we had more wacky hijinks from the Three Stooges and Ava in that van. I may need more wine but I thought MB was golden in those scenes. "May need" more wine? ALWAYS need more wine.

twoods January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Now I can't watch today's episode. You guys snarking about it is way more entertaining, but I do want to see the van hijinx- sounds entertaining. At least if Fluke is Luke it doesn't dumb down Tracy too much since she was sleeping with the real Luke. And that's all I got with this storyline. 5 Link to comment
tvgoddess January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 What got me was Brad sitting and having a conversation with Sabreeeena. See, now I'm disappointed because I saw a scene after Carlos left where she was all by herself sitting alone, and it made me very happy. I didn't see Brad talk to her. Wow, lots to rant about but nothing to say at the same time. But I'll give it a shot. Gee, Michael. I guess you wouldn't be so apologetic to Carlos if he hadn't been so inept at killing AJ the first time. If things had gone the way they were supposed to, Carlos would have been the killer. And nice of you to conveniently leave that part out, Carlos. Both of them need to STFU. Tracy snarking at Michael about Jakeson was awesome. "A homeless indigent". The Fluke corpse? No words. You all said it better than I ever could. I think that MW and RH have much better chemistry than MW and ME. As much as I hate Franco, I'd accept them as a pairing because at least they're interesting together. Ava with Silas is snore city, and Ava with Sonny is beyond disgusting. This scene shows it, but I'm sure no one but me is interested lol. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vmJHGHPUTms&index=42&list=LLk6NDXaHQcmFG4eGF-r0oyg However, Franco can shut it about Ava's crimes. Acting like he's this innocent fallen hero going to go save his precious Nina? Try again, SERIAL KILLER. I did laugh when Sonny and Julian simultaneously told him to shut up. 5 Link to comment

DayPlayerAtKellys January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) All I have from today is that the corpse int the chair won't have to sit through the next two/three weeks of dreaded exposition of how Luke is Fluke. I literally don't even care anymore. Talk about shitting on history - Ron and Frank are about to take the biggest dump on GH history ever. Does anyone have wagers on just how far back they'll retcon that Luke has been a secret psycho? Back to Jake's death? Back to Luke and Laura's divorce? All the way back to Bill Eckert's death? Or even before that.. to the infamous rape? How much of GH history will these guys invalidate with their hack writing? There's no rest for Tracy. Sure, she slept with the real Luke, but she fell in love with a complete drug running psychopath. That should make her feel all warm and fuzzy. I can't even be snarky at this point. It's like Ron and Frank want me to feel like a sucker for watching and supporting this show for decades. Maybe this show should have been cancelled rather than letting Ron get his hands on it. He's proved unworthy. (and I didn't even say that about Guza) Edited January 31, 2015 by DayPlayerAtKellys 7 Link to comment

fishsanwitt January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 DayPlayerAtKellys - I have to agree with you about Luke/Fluke/Puke/Cuke/Nuke. The only good thing is that I reject all of that bullshit. I know the history of Luke and Laura and nothing Ron does can affect that. GH is on its last legs. That's the saddest part of all. On-topic: why wasn't Lucas wearing a tie? It was nice seeing Carlosssssss - and Sabrina didn't bother me. DZ is a very good actor - I thought he did a great job in the basement. I have no fucking idea who is in that chair. I have no idea who Puke/Fuke/Luke is now. Thanks Ron. Bobbie looked good, as did Tracy. Johnny is still hot! The four Stooges in the van were pretty funny. I watched Nina/Heather's scenes with the sound off. Worked for me :) 5 Link to comment
P3pp3rb1rd January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Actually I suspect Geary would have totally sat in as the corpse if they'd have let him. Maybe they didn't want to waste time/make-up on it. Sadly the way he's looking these days, little cosmetic enhancement would be necessary. Boo-yah! I just want to have that quote's baby and escape from prison with it. 2 Link to comment

SlovakPrincess January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) Ew. That's what's in the basement? Honestly, I might've preferred poop ... I will grant that that was probably a good scene, where Dante wakes up and finds the corpse. But a) it's a rip off from Psycho anyway, and b) it's not worth the months of nonsense beforehand - and the likely many weeks of nonsensical explanation yet to come. Whose basement is this supposed to be again? Those pictures of Helena in her ridiculous white furs just make me fantasize about a polar bear eating her...

Tiger January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 At least if Fluke is Luke it doesn't dumb down Tracy too much since she was sleeping with the real Luke. And that's all I got with this storyline. Even if Fluke is actually Luke in body, it still feels a little too rapey for my taste. I remember some in the fandom saying that Johnny sleeping with Connie, at a point in time when i believe it was unclear who was real and who was the altar, was rape. And i don't think k this is any different. I can't find the original post but someone in this thread stated that dialogue this week, something about a cork, seemed to indicate a sexual relationship between Fluke and Helena. I think there have been multiple instances of hints at this. So when you throw that in, plus the fact that Fluke has expressed disgust towards Tracy multiple times, it still reeks of at least sexual assault, if not rape. Being that Tracy got maybe one line of dialogue when thought she had been sleeping with Faison, i doubt this will ever be touched on. But it is an important part of the story. 4 Link to comment
pitchy January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Well, there's always the possibility of a deranged 'Pat' who's used Bill Eckert's aged body for venting on 'Luke,' blaming him for what happened to her. Maybe Helena doesn't know it's Pat nor just how demented s/he is and gave reassurances that they took whatever was in the basement out of it and not to worry that Dante was headed there. Maybe real Luke is still sitting somewhere else. RC will stop at nothing to try to 'surprise' us. 1 Link to comment

As of Friday, where are we supposed to think Luke is, who are we supposed to think Fluke is, and who is that corpse supposed to be?I honestly don't know who we are supposed to think the corpse is, but I Dante is supposed to this it's real Luke. My spec is that everyone will think real Lewq is dead, but then the reveal will be that Fluke is real Lewq. And then we'll get the reveal of what Fluke is or what caused him, which is where i think Pat comes in. So it'll be end up being a four-part reveal. ETA: how Ron intends to tell this story without Laura & Lucky is beyond me. Aside from Helena telling Fluke that she has always hated Laura a few weeks ago, those two have been totally absent from this story. As i posted earlier, at this point I'd gladly except a link that Helena disposed of them. And then later Anna or anybody, even some displayed cop, could state that the WSB rescued them.

Mrs OldManBalls January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 The fab 4's prison break is so silly. They did break out, so should be all going back once caught? Or are they all going to conveniently get to stay out? I know right? I can see one of them accidentally doing something heroic ( by heroic I mean not completely self-serving) and getting pardoned or whatever, but all of them not having to go back? that will take a real act of screenplay. My momma always old me if you can't say something nice, say nothing at all. This is me saying nothing. My mom would tell me to wait until I got home to vent. I dunno why, once they were free of the prison, the Mob Three didn't just shove Franco out of the van instead of listening to his annoying bleeting about Nina. Speaking of which, are we really supposed to care/be frightened for Nina? I'm rooting for Heather. Heather needs to step up her plan. Time is being wasted! Franco and Ava bickering like teenagers. I almost wanted Julian to crash the van just to shut them up. I wanted him to threaten to turn the van around if they didn't knock it off. I haven't been watching regularly and typically FF all things Sabreena but when did she an Carlos start seeing each other again? On Ron's twitter account. With Helena being in head to toe white does that mean her fate has been sealed? Anyone in that much white is never long for this world. (The governor's daughter better watch herself if she survives the explosion, I've seen that look in Helena's eyes before) The tuft of white hair on the deceased was a nice touch. Thanks for the unintentional laugh show! 1 Link to comment

ulkis January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 (edited) I'm enjoying Heather right now. She's much better when she's locked inside than when we're expected to believe she dug herself out of the ground (with stab wound to her neck to boot) or hauling Carly around. I don't want them to say Lucky and Laura fake died, maybe the hostage idea though. It's annoying as hell but I don't want to watch Lulu and Bobbie and Liz cry over their off-screen fake deaths. Guza did this shit all the time (intervention without Bobbie and Laura, anyone?) so I'm used to it, even though it is in fact really annoying. Edited January 31, 2015 by ulkis 3 Link to comment

As of Friday, where are we supposed to think Luke is, who are we supposed to think Fluke is, and who is that corpse supposed to be? I was trying (badly) to explain to someone the many convoluted explanations for this Fluke business, and the one thing I literally could not make parse was who the dead body in the basement might be. Is it Bill Eckert, who really did die a long time ago and his corpse somehow ended up there instead of in the grave that Shawn dug up? It is Luke himself, and it's actually Bill* who's been pretending to be Luke for all this time because of.....reasons, I guess? It is Pat, the seldom heard of sister, and something terrible happened to her because of Luke, causing his personality to finally fracture? Is Pat really alive, and she has been masquerading as her brother for reasons that Ron hasn't even thought of yet? Does Ron even know who the dead person is? I. Am. So. Confused! *The person I was trying to explain the situation to pointed out that Bill being Luke would be a huge retcon, but she isn't familiar with ReRon's way of doing things yet. 2 Link to comment

sunnyface January 31, 2015 Share January 31, 2015 Tracy snarking at Michael about Jakeson was awesome. "A homeless indigent". Tracy is the only bright spot on GH for this viewer lately. At the very least, Tony Geary does seem to be able to get most of his co-workers to step up in their acting (Lulu, Dante, Johnny, Michael) and I'd much rather the focus of this show center on Tony Geary any day of the week than have it centered on Maurice Bernard.
