I enjoy Marco too and I find PB extremely sexy when he plays him. They have taken so much of Jack's edge away in the last decade. What Marco has made clear is PB can play this rogue beautifully. So they need to find a way to allow him to do that and *be* Jack. I love Jack. And while a part of me wants Marco to stay, I think Marco on canvas is encouraging them to make Jack super weak -- to highlight the contrast. I thought all that abuse heaped on Jack would turn him dark. But that was just Pratt playing out his fantasies it seems. Jack has apparently suffered zero repercussions from months of bondage and torture and drugging.

LittleIggy August 22, 2015 Share August 22, 2015 They should have made his doppelgänger English (as in British English). That accent sounds fine (not campy or potentially offensive). It's a bit much to expect an actor to pull off what they dumped on Peter. I mean, seriously, making this guy Hispanic? Usually soaps give doppelgängers a Southern U.S. type accent that most Americans have no trouble with and allows the actor to create distinct speaking styles. As someone from the South, I beg to differ with your last sentence. Most people have trouble doing a Southern accent that doesn't sound exaggerated and cartoony. 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1438595

Sayla Vee August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 Like you and photo fox, I believe Kevin's one of the few people left in this operation who has any brains. He should be able to put things together--preferably sooner than later. Plus, he's not under Victor's thumb. Hence, he has nothing to lose by poking around. Regarding Kelly, I suppose I'm one of the mean ones on this board. They've suggested that Jack killed her. Quite honestly, I don't care if he did. I don't know what sort of trouble Jack would face IRL regarding the boat explosion. (Manslaughter? I have absolutely no clue. Jack didn't intend to kill anyone--only escape.) But Kelly? I could see someone easily crafting a case based on self defence. Add me to the list counting on Kevin to help Jack get some justice. As for Kelly.....I'm not positive about any of this, but I seem to remember that Victor informed Jack and/or Phyllis that Kelly had died, and provided some kind of proof or backup. Someone then told Stitch and he left GC to take care of his sister's body. I have no recollection at all of what Stitch supposedly did, but perhaps one of you can set me straight. If anything I think I recall is correct, then Jack cannot possibly be charged with Kelly's death because Victor reported it long before Jack was kidnapped. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1439427
PatsyandEddie August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 You are correct Sayla. Stitch and Abby went to collect Kelly's ashes and bring them back to GC. Jack can't be charged with killing a person who was supposedly dead months before. Vic would have to admit his culpability first in faking her death. Shit would hit the fan and hopefully Stitch would hit Vic. Yeah I know.

miamama August 23, 2015 Share August 23, 2015 So much of this blackmailing of Jack is bullshit. You are all correct that Jack could not be charged with killing a woman declared dead. And even if he could be they'd have to find her body - which Vic ordered buried -- exhume it, do testing to PROVE she was in fact murdered and then prove Jack did it. And on top of all of this are we to believe that the unnamed "backwater banana republic" to which Victor alluded has a remotely strong extradition treaty with the United States of America?? And Jack is stinking rich. The ship is a joke. No proof whatsoever how it blew up or even that Jack was on it. I can't believe Pratt showed Jack utterly victimized for months and then has him feeling guilt. It is truly nuts.

Sharon will stagger out of the wilderness with an infant in her arms after which no doctor will examine her. Sage will be found half dead and baby-less. It was eaten by bears. Sharon will really believe it's her baby and goes back on meds. (Because like Ashley she won't wonder why her vajajay is instantly all better and not sprung even a little.) Meanwhile, Nick discovered Adam is the daddy but decides to steal the baby for it's own good and hides the truth...again...and is sadz cause the dingos....bears ate the kid he wanted to steal.

UsernameFatigue August 25, 2015 Share August 25, 2015 I thought TPTB were supposed to love Steve Burton? They certainly do not like his character, anymore than they apparently like Sharon. The guy comes to town with PTSD. He has already, as we find out, lost one baby-to-be with Avery. Then Chelsea Con makes him a daddy, but not for long. Now his third chance a being a daddy has been pulled out from under him. Meanwhile Nick Newman is about to have his 4th child with his 3rd baby mamma. And two out of those three women are supposedly infertile. Apparently Dylan needs to find a barren woman to have success at becoming a daddy. I am trying to figure out why Mariah was invited to the baby shower as family, which is what she stated. The Newmans didn't even blink an eye that she was there, but Nikki and Victoria thought Sharon should have been shown the door. Mariah is not related to Nick - he has never been her step father. But technicality aside, scenes are always better with Mariah, and Kevin too.

Victor and Jack told the Abbotts/Newmans they are dissolving the merger and Jack says: both sides walk away with what they came with. Not so fast, says Victor. Abby is a NEWMAN. She fucking was employed by Jabot you stupid goddamned writers. Anyways, she chooses Newman. Then Victor demands Chelsea by Jabot be retained by Newman. Jack says no way. Billy points out the "by Jabot" part and Victor says: You may have started the line but VICTORIA has managed it for MONTHS. Victoria then blathers some shit about Newman superiority. "Chelsea designs stay with Newman. Connor is my blood (huh?). That's it. It's happening." Victor actually said this, while Jack stood there like an idiot and said some crap about if Adam were alive he wouldn't want you near Connor. Then later Jack is with Phyllis and is somewhat upset about this. She says "Let it, go." aaaargh. Jack admits he's tired. These months have been the darkest of his life, including what he had to do to get home (why do they keep focusing on this bullshit guilt??????). He doesn't want to fight any more. He doesn't even want to work any more. Phyllis talks him out of it. Rather than handing reins to Ashley be co-CEOs. He agrees. Is this really fucking it? Storylines are moving forward: the fight for Chelsea <gag>; Adam's return; Abby vs. Ashley for Stitch <puke>; Jack and Ashley co-running Jabot. And Victor walks around telling everyone what to do. No comeuppance for Victor. No one even KNOWS about what he's done. Oh and Sharon is acting crazy. Freaking out on Noah, lying through her goddamned teeth to Dylan. It's just ridiculous.

I know this, but alas, I got home just after today's episode aired. Instinctively I turned on the TV and started rifling through our PVR's offerings. As I watched what I'd missed, I almost cursed at the TV and I most definitely said "This show is stupid." In response, my Y & R buddy--a family member who has watched with me for a few years--asked an obvious question. "Why do you watch it, then?" I offered the same excuse I've given before here on this board. I've watched The Y&R since I first saw it at my babysitter's place as a youngster. But God knows, I could use a break.

bannana August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 It is good to take a break. The Pricktor stuff is what ended it for me. I knew he would never pay but I held out hope that he would at least be shamed and shunned by his useless family for a while. I watched Y/R in my teens, but was never a huge fan. I left it in the late 80s/early 90s I think, and only began to watch again when it was Phyllis vs Diane over Jack. I hated Phick and left again for a while. MST with the perma-grin was too much to take, but I eventually returned. I was happy to see GT playing Phyllis, I think she is great in the role. But the last 10 years or so, Pricktor has become the most vile and despicable character to be beloved on TV. I loved JR Ewing, but we the viewers and every character on the show acknowledged he was an asshole who used and abused people around him including his family. That just isn't happening here. You didn't side with JR, you just watched to see what kind of outrageous shit he would do next. Every now and then he was vulnerable, but then, not really. I always felt like they were trying to make Pricktor like JR (not like a cowboy but a protagonist one loved to hate). And yet, he is just someone I hate. I don't love to hate him, I loathe him. So there is no satisfaction for the viewer at all. Sigh, rant over, but this is why I can no longer watch. I will keep reading here, hoping to hear of a change! 13 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1448931
Artsda August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 They're throwing this Nick and Sage wedding out of nowhere and not even with guests. Plus in the same spot where Nick's been left at the altar before at? lol They might as well have a banner saying nobody cares. Why they're even forcing this marriage and pairing is silly. 9 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1448942
bannana August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 I read they are getting married in the PARK! Where murders are attempted and committed, where Dick was left at the so-called altar by Avery, where Noah was left at the so-called altar by a now dead Courtney, where Cane hit on Lauren (they probably don't know that though), where Neil married Hilary who really wanted to marry his son, where Paul married Christine at Katherine's funeral. HAHAHA! I guess they just don't have any sets for a wedding? Hey Dick, you own a ranch. Maybe there is a nice big tree with a beautiful backdrop? No need for security, no bad murder and failed weddings mojo to deal with? I cannot wait to read the description of the wedding gown! 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1448969

After months of deleting unwatched - I just took it off the 'record' list. I'll just read here. HAHAHA! I guess they just don't have any sets for a wedding? Hey Dick, you own a ranch.

Her pathetic pleading gaze never wavered as Nick Newman tried to remember her name."

I, too, watched it in my preteen and teen years (during the Cricket years, I'll admit it, I liked and wanted to be her), gave it up in college, actually came back in '04-ish, because I'd heard that Cricket & Danny were back together, realized that I no longer liked her, but that was about the time Phlick started, and I really enjoyed them together at first. I quickly grew tired of them, but at the begining, I liked them. Onto the "Dallas" part of your quote, first of all, any mention of "Dallas" and JR Ewing is aces in my book! I had a really long post, but I thought better of it since this isn't a "Dallas" forum, so I deleted it and condensed it. Full-disclosure, to me, JR Ewing is hands-down the best character in the history of television, played by one of the best actors in the history of acting. I've never thought about the JR/Victor similarities, but I totally see why you think the writers were trying to make Victor the daytime JR, especially since Victor started airing near the timeframe of the rise in popularity of "Dallas" & especially JR. They failed on every level, though. For all of JR's bravada, he dearly loved his family, especially his Daddy and JohnRoss, which Victor does not. JR also faced judgment and long-term consequences for his bad actions, which Victor very rarely does, and even when he does, they last maybe 7 minutes. The biggest difference, though, Larry Hagman just oozed charisma. JR was the biggest ass in the world, and he could do something horrible, but 2 minutes later, his charm would pull the audience back in. LH had more charisma in his pinky-nail than EB has in his entire body. A daytime JR back-in-the-day would've been awesome, and still could be, but it would have to be a different character than TGVN and a different actor than EB, in my opinion. 10 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1449923
MollyB August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 banana quote I read they are getting married in the PARK! with or without the Hot Dog cart reception? Gonna miss your recaps, banana, but I understand why you tuned out. Since so many are giving up, I propose that the Preverts go co-op and each member watches one day then recaps it for the others. And everybody snarks at will. C76, (I, for one, shouldn't watch any more. I have things to do.) go ahead an quit-since I have not been watching (over a year now, Pratthole), I have started a business, lost 10 lbs. exercising, discovered Audio books and realized the sun comes up every freaking day. Who knew? And surprise! No withdrawal if you keep reading this forum! 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1450227
devonshiredeb August 26, 2015 Share August 26, 2015 This is it for me too. Done, Kaput, complete and utter disgust with the lack of Victor takedown. How does this continue to happen? Well, I just don't care anymore. And poor Sharon, stop already with the craziness - no one is enjoying watching this show anymore....no one gives a flying f__k about Neil and his craziness, Lily and the vampire, the scoobies or actually any story left on this show. At this point I would rather watch crazy NINA on GH than this and I despise Phyllis o'jazz hands..... 11 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/7823-the-gcehc-canadian-episodes-spoilers-for-non-canadians/page/69/#findComment-1450432
