Chairperson Meow April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 I'd like one now with Duke and his tea set, Anna and her fierce hair, Nathan..... being a tree. Billy Miller being hot. Micheal Quartermaine in a suit. But you know they'd play poor SK's AJ Quartermaine with a drink in one hand and a cupcake in the other. I could almost overlook that if I got a Morgan bumper of him trying to do math or Kiki trying and failing to make instant oatmeal. 1 Link to comment
Aurora2 April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 I guess the following is "spoilerish" because it's related to Friday night's Sneak Peek for GH this week, so here goes. Because this Canadian fan hasn't been able to see the Sneak Peek clips, I'm very curious about the one with Valerie/Rocco and Lulu. Yes, I'm interested in the characters, but it's more than that. I'm bemused by the WILDLY different interpretations of this clip and I can't wait to see for myself. Comments have ranged from Valerie being good with Rocco and appearing "sympathetic" to Valerie being "stalkerish" - enough so that some Lante fans are no longer worried about her as an interloper. LOL- I figure both of these can't be right, so I'll have my popcorn ready for today's show. Link to comment
Mrs. Stanwyck April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 (edited) I'm curious to hear what you think because I did not get "stalkerish" from that clip of Valerie playing/talking with Rocco. I didn't really think much about the clip until Lulu burst in looking like a lunatic. Edited April 13, 2015 by Mrs. Stanwyck Link to comment

dubbel zout April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 All the ABC soaps had character bumpers; I think they stopped so the network could have more ad time and make more money. We used to get a "Previously, on General Hospital..." before each ep, too, and that was ditched for commercial time. I think each "hour" episode is only about 37 minutes of actual show. I wonder how long it will take before it's a half hour or less. Link to comment

I didn't really think much about the clip until Lulu burst in looking like a lunatic. Back again with my answer. Whoever thought there was a "stalkerish" element to those scenes was smoking some really funny stuff. Nothing like that at all. Dante and Valerie were both given really good POV in well-written scenes. And then, with Rocco, Valerie was nice - gentle - nothing unusual at all. Link to comment
Mrs. Stanwyck April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 Yes - what I saw on the sneak peak started with Valerie telling Rocco that his name was kick-ass and ended with Lulu busting in demanding to know what was going on. I didn't get how Valerie telling Rocco that he has a great dad and how she didn't have one growing up could come across as "stalkerish" but I guess people are coming from different points of view when watching. 2 Link to comment

ulkis April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 Ugh, it's my least favorite soap cliché - the misinterpreting of an innocent hug by a jealous partner. Booo. Especially because what reason in the world would Lulu have to think it was anything but innocent?* Does she share Morgan's olfactory senses? *I know, the same reason Patrick thinks Robin is merely hiding away in Paris: only the basement exploded. 2 Link to comment
TeeVee329 April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 (edited) Especially because what reason in the world would Lulu have to think it was anything but innocent? Lulu: How DARE you comfort my cousin who's dealing with the death of her mother! All of your sympathy must be reserved for my father, the REAL victim here! Because yeah, that's clearly not a sexay hug of any kind. Get a grip, Lulu. Edited April 13, 2015 by TeeVee329 2 Link to comment
ulkis April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 (edited) I can't bring it in me to blame Lulu for stupid cliche writing. There's the Lulu kind of irrationality (being mad at Valerie for wanting to kill Luke) and then there's the dumb "I catch my husband of three years hugging someone it must be suspicious" bad-writing-irrationality.

I'm glad for DZ (in a vague, "well at least someone is happy" way, heh) because they haven't had a storyline in a while, but I knew it would be cliche-ridden, I can't bring myself to be annoyed. At the very least, can the word "Stavros" now not ever again be mentioned in conjunction with Dante and Lulu, since they are looking to have regular-cliche-soap angst? No? Damn it.

Dandesun April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 To any Daredevil viewers who also may read here: Can we have Franco, Sonny, Carly, and Kiki meet one Mr. Wilson Fisk? Please, can we, huh? A crimelord who is legitimately terrifying? Can't have that on GH! Although reading today's posts I sit there going 'Where's Matt Murdock when you need him?' 1 Link to comment

And it's so déjà vu - shades of Lulu walking in and seeing Dante comforting Brenda in the same place. Only with Brenda, by that time in the story, there was a lot more reason for Lulu to have doubts than there is right now. Edited April 13, 2015 by Aurora2 Link to comment
Oracle42 April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 Maybe if RC got rid of a few of the worst stoylines (10 year old soulmates, Ava's cancer, Silas/Nina/Franco doing anything other than dying) he'd have enough time to develop and pace the other stories 4 Link to comment
WendyCR72 April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 A crimelord who is legitimately terrifying? Can't have that on GH! Fisk would crush Sonny like the flea he is. Maybe literally! Franco, Carly, et. al. would just be bonuses. :-) 1 Link to comment
mybabyaidan April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 I'm just glad that ring will be found quickly. I wouldn't be able to take weeks of near misses. But I wonder what the explanation will be for it, and how much stupider these people can look until they put 2 and 2 together. 2 Link to comment

But I wonder what the explanation will be for it, and how much stupider these people can look until they put 2 and 2 together. I see it going 2 ways... 1. Emma somehow overhears Sam talking with Patrick or whoever about the ring. She tells them Spencer gave it to her. Sam has a personal convo with Spencer (because more Spencer scenes!). He tells her he found it in Nik's vault. Nik makes up some excuse that no one will investigate further. 2. Patrick will say Victor must have given it to Robin as proof and Robin dropped it before she left. Then he'll go into some monologue about her Paris bed. 1 Link to comment
TeeVee329 April 13, 2015 Share April 13, 2015 I'm just glad that ring will be found quickly. I wouldn't be able to take weeks of near misses. For real, I am SHOCKED Sam finds it so soon, that's not very Ron-like at all. 1 Link to comment

Chairperson Meow April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 I'm shocked Sam sees it and knows it's Jason's ring. Sam actually uses her brain. And look at Carly busting Ric? My my, can Caroline please sleuth her dumb son who's drugging decent son? Because that's the promo I want. Not gonna lie though, when I saw Sam go "It's Jason's ring!" then they cut to fine ass BillyMiller. .. i squeed. Don't judge me. Dammit. I'm feeling the KeMo /Billy Miller chemistry. It's so magical.

WendyCR72 April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 And my favorite rumor of the bunch: KMc was gonna come back but Billy Miller didn't want her to? Or some nonsense like that? I can smell the bullshit with this one through the monitor. No way would Miller have the clout to do that, long history acting in soaps or not. He's just one of a bunch of small fishies on GH. But if it was ever true, I'd boot his ass for KMc in a heartbeat. She has the history. He doesn't. But again, since it's crap, whatever. So I'm taking the rest with a lear jet full of salt. 1 Link to comment

TeeVee329 April 14, 2015 Share April 14, 2015 I read that rumor about Brad and Lucas getting married too. I doubt it's true, but if it is, what a mistake. It's WAY too soon for that. Hell, it was way too soon when Days married Will and Sonny (had to plant that flag, huh, Days?), but at least that relationship played out in actual, on-screen story for over a year before it happened. 3 Link to comment
