General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

I am new to the board as far as posting goes but I have been what many of you call a lurker for atleast six months now. I will apologize in advance because this is going to be a very lenghty post becasue I have just gotten up the courage to say what I am going to say and I have alot on my mind.

The character of liz has always held a special place in my heart. When she was first introduced on the canvas I loved her! she was a bad a55 who was not appreciated and was only looking for the love that she never recieved because the rest of her family was to busy worshipping her sister and her brother. I symphathized with her and immediatly began to love the character of Liz. I loved how she was such a spitfire and was scared of nothing and no one.

The rape storyline was so well done by RH that it was crazy! RH knocked that out of the park and this is where I felt that they began to have liz transformed into a multi layered character other than the spitfire starved for love teenager/young adult. They developed her relationship with Lucky and that was just an absolute joy to watch as well.

Liz has been developed so well and was always a joy for me to watch. However I guess all good things must come to an end becasue as of this moment I am not enjoying Liz at all! She is behaving like she a horny adolescent school girl and honestly this is not the only time that she has behaved like this (and by this I mean not thinking at all!) I also believe that she behaved in this same manner when her and Jason were together, and then not together.I did not like her or Jason together at all! It made no sense and all of that back and forth with him being to dangerous to be around the boys but then sneaking around to meet him and have sex was ridiculous and it made her look confused and loose! She was not showing any follow through at all! you cant tell someone that you cant be around them but then have a rendevous with them the following day. I am sorry that showed no common sense on her part.

I dont understand why she is going to marry lucky but she wants to keep nik (who just happens to be his brother) on a short leash, and I am sorry but I am not buying into the line that she is doing this because lucky wants to, or that he bullied her (he did not twist her arm into accepting, nor was there an ultimatum that she had to marry him or else). I am sorry lucky is a grown man and would and should be able to handle being rejected. It killed me that she had the audacity to get upset with nik because he was going to continue his relationship with rebecca. Was she really serious?! that is not the liz that I think all of her fans (including me) fell in love with. She is behaving poorly and I am not going to sit here and join the club and make excuses for her or say that since lucky slept with sarah it is okay for her to sleep with nik or the excuse that she was not technically with lucky when she slept with nick. What does that matter?! Wrong is Wrong and if you are a true fan you should be able to point out your favorite characters downfalls, and right now Liz is on a spiralling downfall and all I see are people making excuses for her.

I am sorry but I cant do that. This liz is NOT the liz that I enjoyed watching on my screen.

Katie I will answer yout his way as to not take up so much space with what was already a long enough post by me.

I am not sure if bringing back JJ is going to be enough to bring her back to what she once was. All of this lying and deceitfulness this is not what she used to be about. Now she is lying to lucky everyday, but not only to lucky but to her children. I mean I did not mention it before because my post was long enough but she cant possibly tell either one of her children that they were conceieved out of love because that is not the case. She was not in love with either of their fathers when she slept with them not Zander and not Jason (I know some of you may take an issue with that but I have to call it like I see it) She climbed the stairs in the dark to go and do what...play cards? no to go and sleep with him because she was hurt (and rightfully hurt by the actions of her husband I might add) but it still does not make what she did right.

I know that by reading this you may think I dont love her, but that is far from the truth, I just have to speak on things the way that I see them. I love Liz just not what they are trying to shove down our screens because at the rate we are going she is going to have baby number three by her fiances brother and that will just be a wonderful thing to watch

and yes to answer your questions I am quite koo koo for coco puffs!

I totally agree with you guys. Liz has been quite disappointing for some time now. I miss the old Liz. She just hasn't been the same since the orignal Lucky (JJ) left. I really hope that his return will bring back the Liz all knew and loved.

How nice to have a thread that talks about the same way I feel! I too love the character Liz; always have! But I agree that she is NOT acting like the Liz she used to be and I DO fault the writers. To have her make some of the choices she has made is, IMO, completely out of her character. Especially the one where she was "in love" with Jason. I totally understand why she went to Jason that night, but the direction it went after that didn't seem like something she would do. Both her and Jason were in shock and dismay by what they had seen their partners doing, but how it ended up as a love affair, I never did understand. Lucky was/is the love of her life and to act like he is just her friend now is upsetting to me. If adding JJ to the cast helps put things right for the two of them, I am all for it! And thanks to the two of you for sharing your views!

God created the earth.....

Welcome to the board. I cant comment on the Liz character because I really dont like her. But there are many on the this board that really love the character.

Happy Posting.
