General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote JaneDoe:

I can't convince you that I'm not emotionally involved with the characters of GH?? Interesting.

Having a view about the way YOU feel about the show and it's characters is fine, but your post insinuates that everyone must have an emotional connection to the characters or they wouldn't be discussing the show. THAT is NOT true for ME and I'm pretty sure I'm not alone, so there can't possibly be anything to disagree on. I only post because it's entertaining for me to discuss a show that I find entertaining and the ONLY show that's a part of MY daily life. It's as simple as that. If I didn't like the show, believe me I'd move on and never give it another thought. It's JUST a show.

Women.
We connect with one characer or another and that character is the one we see ourselves as.

We as women see other women as our rivals not the men. Therefore it has to be the womans fault not the mans. We see it everyday in girls and women whose boyfriends or husbands have had an affair. They can be hurt by the male but it's laid at the females feet so we can keep the relationship established between the pairing. If we blame the man and he wholes responibility then how can we except him back? We can't.

Quote Marocgirl: Ok 1st off, This is maybe my second time posting so I'm really new to this. But I've been reading alot off the threads in the past 11/2 so that's what I'm going on ok. Bear with me. Second I've been watching Gh since I was abt 8 yrs old so abt 18 yrs now on and off, more on then off. I don't really have any favorites, I love the show as a whole so keep that in mind please.

So my questions is why is it always the women of GH that get called out. I rarely ever read anything abt the Men of GH and if I do it's not very often. People are wondering why Claudia's being thrown to the wolves and Sam's getting away with what she did? Well I want to know why Johnny who was also in on Claudia crazy scheme is not getting any heat. He gets to move on and have a love life with Olivia and work with Sonny who's son was shot and have a friendship with Jason who is trying to get Claudia. I could be mistaken but I'm pretty sure Johnny knew what Claudia was up to? So if Jason is going after claudia because of the shooting then why isn't Johnny going down with her. She may have made the call but HE KNEW AND AGREED TO IT. I don't care if it was an ACCIDENT, it resulted in a child being shot in the head. But that is rarely discussed. I like johnny so it's nothing against him I'm just asking.

Another thing, people are saying Jason is ooc. Maybe because of how he's being written,I think it's just lazy writing by the writers, because they want claudia out so they are having jason do it. Bad writing. I hear Jason is a hypocrite because he's with Sam again. But I never hear that he's an A** for what he did to both Liz and Sam. He had a child with another women after years of being with Sam,while I know there were alot of people out there that were so happy abt it, I was disgusted. I watched my sister for years struggle to have a baby and it was heartbreaking to watch. Every child was a constant reminder of what she didn't have ,i could imagine what she would have done if her husband had a child with someone else. It was his responsibility to tell Sam abt Jake,Not Liz's, but the only thing I heard Liz is wrong because she told Jason not to say anything. She wasn't the one in the 2 1/2year relationship with Sam. She's not the one who said "I've never loved anyone like I've loved you" to Sam. She's not the one who kept it a secret. It's Jason's FAULT. If he had told Sam maybe the it would have been a different out come. Who knows?

When Sonny kissed Olivia, again it was Olivia's a Ho. Ummm I don't remember her raping him but hey I have missed a few show so maybe I missed that episode.I if did please fill me in.

Anyways Sorry abt the long post but I really would like to hear what you all have to say. Again I have no favorites. I prefer some storyline over others but I usually watch for the whole show. This not a jasam Liason war zone it's a Make the men pay too war,just making that clear.

Quote liz-fan: LOL! Thank you but no there really is nothing brave about me. I'm just brutally honest and when you live under that designation you need to have a looking glass that is ten times stronger on yourself than anyone else.

Don't say anything to anyone until you have reviewed yourself and admit when you are in the same boat.

Quote ghfanfare:

Wise words, liz-fan. And I agree with your previous statement as well. The "other woman" (or man!) is often blamed in these situations.

But what about the cheating spouse?! Aren't they equally at fault? I would most definitely say yes!

But back to the topic at hand. Which to me in a nutshell is: The double standard is alive and well in 2009.

Quote Marocgirl: Umm Ok if this bolded part is directed at me, well I thought long and hard abt posting this thread and I actually wasn't trying to be rude. It was a simple question .

Quote ghfanfare:

I know I can't really speak for liz-fan, but I don't think she was directing her post at you personally. I think she was just saying it in general terms.

And as far as the JoLu fan thread, IA. I think I would rename that thread "I hate GH...except for Lulu."
