ulkis July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Oh, it'll happen. I'm sure the Dante/Valerie tryst will stay secret for a while - while Val probably dates Dillon - but when it goes boom, Lulu will at the very least hit the sack with Dillon. That I can deal with. But if they try actually making them a couple of some sort for any extended period of time . . . God bless 'em for trying that. Link to comment
Blackie July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Seriously, it didn't have to be in their bed. :( yes YUK!! And Dante is sure not blameless in this, but Valerie, just yuk. You just don't DO THAT!! So sad that DZ hotness gets wasted in this dumb storyline :( For a minute I thought it was Ethan coming in to the rescue instead of Lucky. This story and the Jake/Liz /Sam stuff is so boooring, bad writing, bad acting, Honestly I am finding Ava and Franco and even Silas and Nina more watchable then the long time GH er's. 3 Link to comment

In fact, they commemorated the holiday on December 25th by giving each other flags and picnic supplies. And called NYE the "wannabe Fourth of July." And that bunny holiday? Whatevs. 1 Link to comment

sacrebleu July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Do you think that they made JJ grow a beard and keep his hair long so he would look more like Ethan? Because it totally worked. I will give credit to either the writer/ or RH, who came up with the line "Morgan shouldn't be anyone's hope." Sure it's shooting a particularly dumb fish in a barrel, but that doesn't make it not funny. It would figure that Valerie does end up preggers (we've gone nearly nine months without a character getting pregnant). And in Lulu and Dante's bed? Really? And as ridiculous and improbable as the Jake story is, it might actually be worth is as Liz has all new opportunities to agonize over the fact that Jason's son is alive, but she can't tell her son or her son's father the truth without blowing up her happy little home with Billy Miller.

dubbel zout July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 I am willing to bet ER will make ridiculous faces when Lulu finds out and it will make you even less sympathetic. ;) I'm sure Lulu will gas on about lives being at stake so she couldn't say a word, Dante should understand, how dare he not trust her, the nerve of Valerie, blahblah lame excuse cakes. Seriously, it didn't have to be in their bed. :( That's seriously tacky on the writers' part. You people! You complain when they don't use a bed; you complain when they do! ;-) You just KNOW that Valerie is going to end up pregnant, because no one in the fucking town has ever heard of birth control. Ugh. That, and Ron has no idea how to write stories for women that don't include babies. Do you think that they made JJ grow a beard and keep his hair long so he would look more like Ethan? Because it totally worked. Nah, that's basically his Nashville look. (I enjoy Liz's guilty faces almost as much as her bitch faces) Today was pretty fun. I'd love for someone to get a teeny bit meta and ask her why she always looks so stricken when Jason is mentioned. Hee. 5 Link to comment

Not even RC and this incredibly shitty story can ruin having these three together I did like the smile on Lucky's face when he hugged Laura. Aw. He freaking ran into the wall right before he laid her down on the bed, that kind of cracked me up. But where else where they going to do it if not in the bed? Their apartment is the size of a postage stamp. With ER in the role, now Lulu looks older than Lucky so I just watched that entire scene thinking where the hell is JMB? Sorry, I just can't accept Emme in this role for some reason. On the floor. :p Dante and Lulu actually did it there a couple of times in their-they-had-so-many-sex-scenes-even-I-got-sick-of-it days. Or hell, go in the bathroom and have shower sex. But that would require putting up another set. Or hey, maybe they could have miraculously had sex on the beach. They could have slipped in Brytni Sarpy and Dom Z while they were using the beach for the staging of KeMo's and BM's clearly faked relationship photos. ;) re: ER, I'm still open to a recast. ER is not the worst actress they could have gotten, but she's bland. Even worse than the actual acting for all their casting, there has been a real lack of charisma for 90% of the hires under FV/RC. imo, of course. 6 Link to comment

kristabell July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 I really have no idea why Silas is still here. I thought they were going to make a big push putting him with AvaDenise, but she's preoccupied with Morgan and Silas fobbed off her pathetic attempt at using him as a sexual substitute. He's a barely seen talk-to in the Francs and Neens mess. Morgan and Kiki are strutting around his apartment like it belongs to their freeloading asses. Dr. Clay has no friends, or even colleagues at the hospital who would wanna talk to him. What is the point? PP will never win, and you'll take ME from my cold, dead hands! -xoxo Ron Are there really fans of the actor who think that he deserves a three year contract on this soap based on his prior years' GH performances? The only thing that I can think of is FV/RC wanted to do one of their friends from One-Life-to-Live a solid. Three years of steady income in the dying soap opera industry is mighty kind. FV/RC appear to take delight in the continual denigration of the hospital. The only people who hang out in the hospital regularly are Dr. O, Franco, and Dr. Clay. Liz and Patrick do have scenes at the hospital, but the only purpose they serve is for the buttressing up of Jason [whose saint-like status isn't this regime's creation]. There hasn't been one iota of mercy or respect of the hospital since RC/FV took over the reins. How can Dr. O's character still be breathing air outside of a jail cell? Every single scene of Dr. O just reminds me that the former Chief of Staff is being held against her will. Out of sight but not out of mind. You want a good laugh?

mybabyaidan July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 I have a feeling it may be more about drama with Liz and Jason once he wants to go back to Sam, though. Which is stupid anyway, since Jason already chose to be with Sam back when Jake was alive anyway. And if they have him be conflicted now, even knowing what Liz did? Fuck him, Liz can have him. I actually have a feeling it will be more about pushing Liz to reveal the truth. Of course she doesn't give a fuck about Danny, but when it's her own kid, of course she is going to want him to know his "real" father (who is Lucky IMO anyway). I thought they'd go the Danny gets sick again route to help with the reveal, but I guess this is cliche enough too. I was surprised Liz left Sam and Danny alone with Jake. And even more surprised the show bothered to remember the Silas/Sam relationship. Talk about out of nowhere. Poor sad Silas.

I think I officially believe RC is worse than Guza. An international psychotic criminal is COS of the hospital. A sociopathic Serial Killer and a woman who literally ripped a premature baby out of a woman's body are the only couple being written with any care and their story is still garbage because our HW only writes farce. I thought mobsters warped the moral fabric of the show but RC's favs take the fucking cake. Speaking of which, why is Franco still alive? Michael and Sam are both related to mobsters who would give zero fucks about a tumor excuse - why is alive and walking freely around PC? The dialogue is atrocious, the stories for every single character are awful and the show itself is BORING Guza had years of good writing and good will to burn through and even at his worst Drab Four worshipping nadir there were good scenes in the midst of terrible stories. RC has been bad for years at this point and has gotten progressively worse. With SBu and JFP gone? I'd take Guza back - with a co-head writer. Hell, I'd watch a reality show of Guza/RC writing GH 5 Link to comment
Donny Ketchum July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Ron is doing way too fucking much in the Jason story. So we have Jake not knowing he's Jason, Liz and Nik keeping Jason a secret, Sam fucking Patrick not knowing Jason's alive, Patrick fucking Sam while not caring that Robin is nowhere to be found for almost a year, and now Jake has been alive all along. STOP ADDING NEW SHIT. Oh, Dante and Valerie are pieces of crap. And yet...Lulu lying was just so stupid (especially considering what a lower case Big Bad turned out to be behind all this) that I'm having trouble mustering up sympathy. Agreed. I can't feel bad for Lulu since despite everything that she was told, she really didn't have to lie to Dante about any of this. The lie was so unnecessary, and that was what got the ball rolling for all of this. The one redeeming thing we hopefully get is that when Lulu finds out, she acknowledges that her lie was the spark for all of this. And Lulu is more self-aware than most of Port Charles, so I think she will. Link to comment
