crosby777 July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 When I came in here, though, someone bashed her and was really nasty about it--I swear, you'd think the poor girl set a puppy on fire. Oh I know. I have seen some vicious comments about Summer and the actress that plays her. And while I don't think she is emmy material , I don't think she is as bad as some seem to think. Being mean to Sharon has made her a target unfortunately. HK almost gets as much bashing as MS got. Electric Avenue is long gone, but there are many place downtown now. I love both PEI and Halifax, have fun! OH no... it was the best.. long long ago that was my hang out.. that and frankie and johnnys and the uptown ranchmans LOL.. I love PEI too and Halifax is always a fun town. Ty 2 Link to comment

crosby777 July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 There have been many articulate even eloquent posts on this board about the reasons for Summer hate. All I see is she is hated because she was mean to Sharon. No matter what Sharon did to her. Link to comment
NinjaPenguins July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 The posts eloquently describing the faults of Summer do exist. But, if I must... *Summer bullied a kid to the point of committing suicide. Her victim apologized to her. *Ran Chelz and Adam off the road, killing their first unborn legume. This was shortly after she vandalized Ronan's car because she found him on top of her mommy. *Married the man who kidnapped her aunt and shot Paul. Seemed angrier with Austin for sleeping with Abby than for his violent crimes. *Lives large on Jack's dime while celebrating having a butthead for a biological father and vociferously defending Jack's shooter. *Sleeps with a guy she considered a brother for a year. Personally, I find the way she treats Kyle to be a little disturbing, what with the ultimatums and controlling behavior. *Has no aims, goals, ambitions or career prospects. Spends all her time whining for the Abbotts and Newmans to get along because that's what she wants, genuine conflicts be damned. Nothing about the actress, nothing about Sharon, just the character. 22 Link to comment
peacheslatour July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 ^^^^All of THIS.^^^^ She's a lazy spoiled brat who does nothing but whine and try to control any dude unfortunate to be interested in her. She thought she murdered her husband and everyone was all "Oh, Dummer must be protected and sheltered from any and all consequences of her actions, lets move the corpse and lie to the cops and be accessories after the fact. Who cares if we all go to jail and Barbie Cop loses her job!" And was she grateful? Hell, no. She continued to bitch and whine and snivel. And when her mother was going through hell all she could do was scream about MMEEEE! No wonder Austin jumped on the nearest person who treated him like a human being instead of a purse dog. 14 Link to comment

The first two things on your list are horrible, and I find her defence of Victor and her past with Kyle absurd. Mind you, I think your last point is at the core of her problem. Summer needs a purpose. Edited July 16, 2015 by C76 8 Link to comment

I meant this actress held her own and even got the last word. But I CANNOT believe they would go there. Sofia Pernas (Marisa) tweeted recently that "Marisa and Jack are BFFs" - which made me inordinately happy.

Thanks Ninja. I didn't have the energy. I think what adds to her annoying factor is that she is always miserable and judgemental. Pratt says HK can do "pathos." She can. But having her pouting constantly or yelling at people at the top of her lungs about all THEIR flaws is not making her likeable. And she has become so hard to take as a character IMO, the distaste bleeds into perceptions of the actress. Edited July 16, 2015 by miamama 8 Link to comment

Oly July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 Summer IS "miserable and judgmental" and that is on a good day and I do not see it being about Sharon---her obnoxious knows no limits---the snark she shovels in Sharon's direction and considers justified is no less than I would expect from a know-nothing who can't even walk in her own shoes much less anyone elses---yes she makes my blood boil due to the coddling and excuses the adults in her life constantly give her and that started with dear old mom and dad---she has never had to work for anything or suffer any consequences for her actions---I have never gotten over Dick giving her a new car for her birthday after she smashed the old one into other hapless folks---seriously? and yeah, the whole bully Jamie storyline---she learned nothing from that experience, not one iota of character development or new found compassion--- whiIe I suppose someone could say it is not her fault that she is handed everything on a silver platter by the clueless adults in her orbit but her attitude and lack of compassion for anyone else and her all about ME in any situation is my problem with her---I am not a fan of the actress much either because I think there are others that are much more talented that are given only scraps to work with but that is not her fault either---Ninja P's list is exactly the problem--the character needs an overhaul stat---and lose the Gnome. 10 Link to comment
PatsyandEddie July 16, 2015 Share July 16, 2015 So of course the cops find a gun with JACK's fingerprints in Chelsea's place. Juxtaposed with a scene of Jack "telling " Phyllis in front of Ashley and Ben that he did NOT have a gun in the park. Ben says the doctors believe that Jack has "locked in " syndrome ( remember Murphy post stroke? ). It lends cred to the hand squeezes. Viv probably had his little rubber fingertips applied. Must have a collection of them. Asshat! 5 Link to comment

"Hey, didn't miamama....?" I just looked up the sweeps dates, and this period ends on the 29th. Hopefully we'll have a big week and a half. At the very least, I want someone useful (HA!) to find out that there are 2 Jacks. Maybe something can occur to Kevin at the police station. 6 Link to comment
miamama July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 My ears perked up when they mentioned that. "Hey, didn't miamama....?" :-) I checked sweeps dates too C76. I CAN'T TAKE IT ANY MORE. Nothing's coming out tomorrow (U.S. Monday). Tomorrow will be poor Victor -- who Nikki had the audacity to say to Phyllis is "rotting in prison"(where he courts visitors, has a cellphone, an iPad, wifi and his very own evidence planting cop) being FREED. So, not counting tomorrow, we have 7 episodes until sweeps end. It has to come together in like 4 hours' worth of shows. (yes, I did the math.) I hate Victor so fucking much I still don't think I can take it. Gah. Stupid Ashley calling the cops to find that gun. WTH is with her? Why must people continually help that ASSHOLE Victor??? He shot your brother at point blank range and left him, LEFT HIM, bleeding on the ground to run away and then denied ever seeing him that night. If he's presumed guilty of attempted murder it's his own damn fault. They act like he's as much a victim as Jack. It's fucking unreal. So what if Gabe benefited from it? Victor still DID IT. 10 Link to comment
UsernameFatigue July 17, 2015 Share July 17, 2015 (edited) Ugh. I am so tired of these stupid storylines. Why oh why did ChelseaCon not bring up tto Paul the fact that Ashley had just been in her apartment and had the door open to the very piece of furniture where the gun was found? Ashley would love to get Gabe out of the way - why would she not plant a gun with Jack's fingerprints? And why would Adam leave a gun, not even wrapped up or in a box, in plain sight for Chelsea to see should she open that door? These stupid storylines really get on my last nerve! Also, I can't remember but did Victor plant the thought in Nikki's head that Gabe would hide the gun at Chelsea's?I may have ff'd by it, but how the heck did Nikki come up with that seemingly (to me) totally out of the blue?

And Abby, dearie, not so much with the champagne...while doing business [or something] with a super-obviously macho character. Okay? Kinda puts some stank on your deal-making skillz there. And, number 2 [a popular number on Show--for so many reasons], was yesterday's CDN The Triad of Terrible Toupes Day? Cane's rug-glue hadn't settled down yet, or he needs that "invisible" mesh stuff on the front edge of his rug, which was riding up like a 1957 panty girdle. Michael's piece was a bit evident, too, but the oxidizing on his dye-job may trump the carpeting issues. I always like the number 3 myself, so it was with a kind of satisfaction that I welcomed the third of the Triad, Paulie, whose piece actually was the least offensive of the three. C'mon Hair and Make-Up, you can do a bit better in the rug department. 6 Link to comment

So I'm thinking the big showdown is coming fast. Jack is awake, Marco is no doubt coming back and Victor is getting out of jail. The grand confrontation scene with the three men -- which will no doubt be witnessed by all of GC -- is all set up now.

miamama July 18, 2015 Share July 18, 2015 (edited) There was a moment in today's Cdn when Nikki was sitting with Victor in Paul's office. She had apologized to him for ever doubting him (it's painful to even type that) and they basically made up and kissed. But MTS barely -- and I mean barely -- met EB's lips. He almost looked surprised at how quickly she pulled back. It was less than a peck. lol. I actually felt sorry for EB. That's how reluctant a kiss it was. But, like Patsy said, a basically unwatchable episode. I FFd a lot. Nikki figuring out Victor was using that fingerprint card for Jack, and telling Paul despite Victoria's protests, was sweet. More pushing Chelsea at us. Gabe is summoned to the police station and Chelsea goes with him, fine. But she also goes into Paul's office with Gabe. WTF? The guy is being questioned on police business, on being a witness to an attempted murder. It has nothing to do with Chelsea. Edited July 18, 2015 by miamama 5 Link to comment

miamama July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 (edited) So basically nothing happened today. Okay this happened (but painfully boring episode): Jack "told" Phyllis and Billy via hand squeezes that Gabe isn't his son and Billy decided they should tell no one yet (coma Jack agreed). Marisa told Victor that he shot Jack, not Marco -- Victor looked smug. (Final scene, so no fallout from that yet.) The above two items were the only "story movement" in today's show. Both added up to a total of 2.5 minutes, maybe. Adam and Victor traded meaningless and pointless barbs -- while the ubiquitous Chelsea Sue looked on. Abby is picking up on weird vibes from Caillou and her mom who are now sitting in a park; Ashley went to "get some air" in precisely the spot where her brother was gunned down a couple of weeks ago. Refreshing! Anyways, Caillou appeared. I FFd Sage and Nick but I think she got an inconclusive paternity test result over the phone. I just don't care. Marisa and Noah were also FF material. They were awkward and he was reluctant to kiss her because Barbie Cop. God almighty this is worse than I imagined. He went to his father, Nick the great and wise Yoda of relationships for advice on what to do. I FFd but I'm sure Nick told his son to go ahead and bang the chick. Avery and her farewell tour ate up a great deal of the show because it included flashbacks of her relationship with Dylan -- you know the one that had pretty much happened off-screen in back story. Previews: Kevin about to tell Noah "something" about Marisa. Abby wondering where her "boyfriend" is (she's in hospital still) while he's about to kiss Ashley in the park. Jack convulsing.

Firstly, I'd almost bet my life that Victor won't believe Marisa. He might think she's trying to throw him off of Marco's scent. Also, a part of me wishes Marisa hadn't revealed Jack so soon. But who knows what this new development will bring. Secondly, regarding Jack convulsing: Is this what's supposed to happen shortly before he regains consciousness? I thought I read that what looks like a breakdown is actually a prelude to a breakthrough, and Jack tells Stitch not to tell anyone about his improved status. I don't feel like looking up that spoiler again, but I hope it was correct. Edited July 21, 2015 by C76 4 Link to comment
miamama July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 You are correct on the spoiler C76. I also agree on the Marisa thing. It seemed underwhelming to have him find out like this. But I'm positive he won't believe her. 2 Link to comment
PatsyandEddie July 21, 2015 Share July 21, 2015 I don't think he'll believe her either. He will sashay smugly out of the room, turn into a bat in the hallway and flap his bat wings over to hospital where he will magically appear in Jack's room.

When editors put together a show that's just the Dance of the Exposition Fairies, and Jack's Hand is the most active item in an episode, that's not good TV. I did have a moment, though, at Marisa's massively unclosed [is that a word?] bathrobe. C'mon now, when you're sitting around of an evening, even if it's in a suite at the world-famed GCAC rather than at, oh shall we say, the Georges V in Paris, would you not just pull your terry robe together at the front, and maybe even tie it? Then again, Marisa may be psychic and just waiting for a wade in the kiddie pool. Or just waiting for some cheesy take-out chicken soup. I can't even type anything about Ashley stooping to Dr Loaf. Did every other man in the universe suddenly evaporate? 5 Link to comment
