General Days March 26, 2015 Share March 26, 2015 If the really try to pin Luke raping Laura on his DID or whatever it is he is supposed to have that would be the biggest cop out in soap history, and it would be a complete rewrite seeing as everytime Luke talked about the rape he was shown to completely acknowledge that he had been fully aware of what he was doing. I disagree. To me, the biggest copout was the change from LUKE RAPES LAURA to LUKE SEDUCES LAURA. To me, they can't further frig up that story. I'd appreciate this retcon. 3 Link to comment

I'd appreciate this retcon. I agree, but to be fair they did retcon it back later, during Liz's rape storyline. They really did deal with the rape and talk about it frankly sans bullshit (the term seduction never came back up) for the first time ,and it had been a long time coming.

mybabyaidan March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I'm looking forward to this one: Sam makes a discussion I am assuming that's supposed to say decision. They need to fire their editor. Jake is startled when he has flashbacks that involve Sam The only way this would be remotely interesting is if he knows it's Sam. But I have a feeling it's going to be his 50,000 flashback where NOTHING moves forward. 5 Link to comment

I don't know why I'm asking questions about a "story" I don't care about. Cameron decided Josslyn understands him and his art and is more appreciative of the wonderfulness that is him. So Cameron dumped Emma at Spencer's birthday party to be with Joss because, like many of the men on this show, he needs constant adulation and Emma wasn't licking his ass enough. 6 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 My translation? Spencer finds Jason's ring and gives it to Emma, maybe after hearing Nik have a monologue (Soap Trope 35678) about how "it's valuable and special and insert adjective here". Nik will freak out when it's missing only to find via Liz about Hayden. Yay! The Dark Forces are on Nik's side! No, he's just "lucky . I have no doubt Jake working for Julian is to put Jason/Sam in each other's orbits more. Jason will end up doing/seeing something that reminds him of Sam. Or as Hayden keeps talking about "their" marriage, it actually reminds him of his actual marriage as he is put in Sam's orbit more. Liz/Patrick discuss this because they're salty. And Patrick is too dumb to call Robin and go "Hey u lied, bro?" Link to comment

Badsamaritan March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I am absolutely convinced MoRon hires these high profile actors for no other reason than his twelve year old ass can say Nana Nana Boo Boo. How do you get an actor like BM and then stick him in some lame, dumb fuck quadrangle surrounded by women when you know good and damn well he's capable of more? Billy is starting to show his 'Who farted' face more and more and I can literally see him checking out mentally. MoRon likes flashbacks so much, well Jake should have been having conflicting memories of both Jason Q and Jason M. He should have been interacting with every single person from both orbits, having flashes of memories of good and bad interactions with those people. He should be drawn to the Q manse, the crypt, hell even Scummy's house. Scummy should've been woken up by finding Jake in his living room, sleepwalking through some past memory. Same thing at the Q's. I would love to see Tracey walk into the living room to find him sitting on the couch eating pizza and crying, but still asleep. But no. None of that for an Emmy winner. Let's revive the stupid shipper wars, dumb every fucking character down to Morgan levels of stupidity, and send the bus streaking towards every female character thrown in his path. I just CANNOT believe BM signed up for this bullshit. On purpose. Just go back to Y&R, Billy. I guaran-damn-tee JFP would give you anything you asked for. Guaran-damn-tee. 7 Link to comment

ch1 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 RC is good at bringing people back from the dead just to knock them off again. Makes sense. Am I the only one that couldn't care less about the whole April 1st anniversary episode with Liz, Patrick and Lucas recreating old characters?

dubbel zout March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 If that spoiler is true, I'm sorry to see Duke leave from a historical POV, and I always love seeing IB, but the character has been a joke since RC brought him back.

Too bad you're not writing the show!On the Duke front ... good Lord, what a waste. I love IB but was opposed to them resurrecting more dead characters for this very reason - the writers just fuck everything up. (Let's see ... they fucked up AJ, Robin's return, now Duke.) When Duke died in the 80s, he at least died with his love for Anna and Robin intact. The story ended for him on a pure, tragic note. Now he will die a stupid asshole. Watch them give Anna's rightful mourning scenes to Lucy, just so we can watch Lucy ham it up like the asshole she is. Edited March 27, 2015 by SlovakPrincess 8 Link to comment
LegalParrot81 March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 (edited) If a lowlife, irrelevant character like Shawn (or even Julian for that matter) is the one that ultimately takes out Duke, a character with such a rich history on this show, my scream will be so high pitched and long, dogs will run for cover. It's not that I am this mega-huge Duke fan, it's the principle of the thing. It's obviously Ron and Frank's unwritten mission statement to do as much damage as they possibly can to the show that kicked OLTL's ass for decades and that starts with destroying all aspects of its history. Get over it boys, your show was canceled, it happens. Edited March 27, 2015 by LegalParrot81 11 Link to comment

Pete Martell March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I just CANNOT believe BM signed up for this bullshit. On purpose. Just go back to Y&R, Billy. I guaran-damn-tee JFP would give you anything you asked for. Guaran-damn-tee. If she would I think she wouldn't have let him leave in the first place. Miller's hit the motherlode at GH. This is a show full of men who can't act or forgot how to act or never learned how to act, but get to stay forever, especially if they were once popular on another show. This is a show that happily employs Michael Easton, an actor who was greeted with such a colossal shrug by viewers that his role is now the equivalent of one of those old Una Merkel sorrowful BFF characters in 1931-era films. I'd guess it's more about outs than anything else with him, and given that this show has 5000000 characters, that means more time to let him find work elsewhere than come back to GH for a bit to turn red, then leave again. 4 Link to comment
Pete Martell March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 (edited) And it does feel like Ron and Frank are purposely shitting on GH history. I think it's more that they just don't really care about GH history other than to distort it to make it their own, like Frankenron's Monster. It's not really about envy over GH still being on the air and OLTL being gone - they did this with OLTL too. Ron sees everything as a mix of toxic, bitter camp (to make up for his own extensive bitterness) and a sop to his own ego. Anything that came before him has to be inferior. Anything that came before him he has to retouch and tarnish until it's what he wants it to be and no one remembers what it was before. He hates soaps being anything but his own sad Veruca Salt type delusion of reality. To him it's just a flesh parade, Joan Crawford-style theatrics, and bitter, OTT misery, repeated and repeated 500 different times a day, in 500 identical dresses that he thinks look different because he yells, "THOSE DRESSES ARE DIFFERENT!!!" on Twitter. Frank just cares about staying under budget. They could have Roger Howarth giving Grayson McCouch a foot massage 5 days a week, every scene of every episode - he wouldn't care as long as the cost of insoles didn't run too high.

Pete Martell March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 As for Ian, I really think the show would have fired him several years ago if Tristan hadn't jumped ship. I do feel sad for Duke/Anna fans, but I haven't really recognized whoever Anna is supposed to be since she came back, and I have no opinion on Duke. On the positive side, at least this means I won't have to put up with any awful Twin Peaks jokes from Ron! 2 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow March 27, 2015 Share March 27, 2015 I'm going to predict a macabre AJ Quartermaine Express special coming. Spoiler said "something would change Baby Avery AJ's custody". Dumbass Kiki and Morgan are drugging Micheal Quartermaine. AJ Quartermaine drove into a tree with Jason Quartermaine in the car, making him Jason Morgan, Borg. I predict that Micheal Quartermaine will be drugged, not knowing it, and run over/into Duke. Or Duke dies in the mob war via one of Jason's bullets. 1 Link to comment

Look, I thoroughly enjoyed the Soapnet 50th anniversary marathon. I watched that very first episode. I don't see the artistic value in having today's actors play the parts of the leads. It's a cute idea, but so not worth the time or effort. If it's a line by line recital, then what's the point? If it's not, then I have absolutely no doubt it'll pale in comparison. Who will teach us the ways of the samurai now?!!?! Ways of the samurai? What have I missed being on the barge? Don't worry, Frank will bring him back in a crazy twist: "You thought Valerie didn't reeeeallly have a cat, didn't you?! Gotcha!" I'm not worried about Duke. He'll land on his feet. He's been killed twice before. Even if this is a third time, he's got 6 more lives. 5 Link to comment
