General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote onlygh:

Gosh ladies...I really respect you both so much but I truly don't see any belittling going on in here. (Honestly the majority of the posts were drooling ones commenting on jnl's Dante avi.) The thread has a hysterical title which posters commented on. No one told the poster she didn't have the right to her opinion. The majority posting in here this AM simply didn't agree with her assessment. (I, for one, totally don't agree that GH would be better off with Emily and Georgie alive and kicking and I said that. I also noted that I did agree that Sonny and Jason are destined to be... ) As to Jane's "it's just a soap" tagline, she's been using that on all of her posts for the last week or so. I see nothing wrong with it and she didn't use it in this post directed at the OP...she just likes to use it, sort of like I sometimes use "Just Say No To Spixie" as my tagline, or how people like to make statements with their avis...I know we all fondly remember Jane's Nik "Kick Me" one.

Quote diansct: First off it was a mistake to kill off Emily and Georgie a real big mistake. Why does every 20 something guy that comes on the show have to fall in love with Lulu. She’s a brat with a capital B.

Alex had better watch her mouth, the last time she interfered with Jason and Sam’s relationship, Sam slept with her husband. Since she no longer has a husband who knows what Sam will do to Mommie Dearest.

While nothing excuses what Claudia did to Michael, it was an accident, unlike what Sam did Jake which was on purpose not once but twice. It makes me sick to watch Jason work so hard to prove that Claudia hurt Michael, while he is sleeping with the woman who watched an unhinged woman walk off with his infant son, a woman who hired men to point loaded guns at the infant. I guess Jason figures no harm no foul. Just remember Jason, Sam is not above hurting Jake to
get back at you so be real nice to her.

The fans are divided as to which woman is Jason’s true love Elizabeth or Samantha? It is neither, Jason’s true love is Sonny, I mean come on Sonny has treated Jason like horse dung for the past two and half years. And now Jason is once again working for, cleaning up behind Sonny and Company. So yes Sam is perfect for him, Sonny and Carly now have two for the price of one. Sam has no self respect; she’ll do anything to be with Jason. I glad that she has a job now so she’ll have something else to do other than sit in Jason’s penthouse and wait for him. She will not object to either Sonny or Carly’s repeated or continuous use of Jason. By the time she gets around to objecting, Jason will either be dead or he will be in prison for the rest of his life.

There is no way that Jason could have been a husband to Elizabeth and a father to the boys and clean up after Sonny and company. Liz and the boys would have been sitting ducks. TPTB now have Elizabeth agreeing to remarry Lucky but she is sleeping with Nic. All in an attempt to get people to think that Jason sleeping with Sam is ok. It’s not; Jason is not cheating on Elizabeth he is cheating on Jake. How will he explain to Jake why he’s with the woman would tried to hurt him not once but twice?

So Sonny is setting up Claudia, with this party where he will tell all of Port Charles she is the person who got Michael shot. I wonder will he tell all:

a. He slept with her without knowing who she was
b. He insulted her every chance he got once he found out who she was
c. He kidnapped her brother Johnny and denied him food and water.
d. He married her for power, because he shot Karpov.

I don’t think that Sonny will tell all

Then there is the fact that Jax knows about Claudia, will Carly be able to forgive Jax for not telling her. I mean after all she has been such a good wife to Jax.

a. She puts Jason before Jax
b. She puts Sonny before Jax
c. She slept with Sonny twice when she was supposed to be with Jax.

Jax needs to let her go and file for custody of his child, because around Sonny the kid will be a sitting duck. Or he or she could grow up like Michael and Kristina, two spoiled rotten kids, who never have to take responsibility for what they do. I mean Michael ran away after buying a gun and accidentally shooting Kate. His punishment was they took his video games away. Did Kristina get punished for causing the car accident that cost Claudia her baby?

Jason had better start eating his wheaties because Sonny’s teenaged children will lead him and Sam on a merry chase. So I guess TPTB think the fans want to watch another 10 plus years of Super Jase to the rescue.

Thanks onlygh, I have lots of respect for you too.
I wanted to just further comment, I did notice that the majority of this thread was drooling over Dante (which yes he is sexy, did you notice he has a blank stamp? sorry for digressing), but I was saying I see IN many threads what "seems" to be belittling, and MOST of the time it is aimed at those that express a negative feeling towards the soap.
I know Jane has that tagline, and I know her as a respectable and unbiased poster, so in no way was I thinking of her when I said that, but I have seen others in other threads do it, heck I even posted previously that I have done it in sarcasm, so I guess it is a matter of interpretation.
But I love the "just say no to spixie" tagline, and JD's kick me one or the avi pic with nik which I think said save me. I miss Rain's tagline, btw where are you Rain?

Quote lemone:
The majority of the thread did go in an entirely different direction than what the original poster stated. I was just referring to some of the initial responses on the first page. Not trying to be rude or point fingers... but I agree with hearts assesment that its hard to tell whether people mean well or are being mean. Some people have agendas when they come on the board...for example spreading Jax hate.

Quote onlygh:

I see what you're saying heart. I think most of the posters do a pretty good job keeping things civilized and allowing for differences. Boy, occasionally I surf to other boards and, wowza, I'm amazed by the nastiness.

I haven't seen Rain in a few weeks. I hope all is well with her.

P.S...Dante is just super-fine...I don't see a bad word posted about him...especially since he did us all a huge favor and removed his clothing last week. What did you mean by "blank stamp"? Is that one of his tats?

Quote heartliason: Blank is something that rhymes with word ramp, lol, it is a tattoo that is on the lower back, which they give it that name because most women get it there, I think.
Needless to say I never notice he had a tattoo there until last week or so reading another MB that people were pointing it out, he is still sexy to me. He can do no wrong.

Quote NoSoup4you: Phew!! This thread really sticks.

Quote JaneDoe:

ITA. Georgie and Emily were okay, but they were both extremely boring. I was not bothered that they left, but I do wish that tptb hadn't felt the need to kill them.

I also agree that poor Sam and Liz will never fully have Jason's love. That love is already taken by Sonny.

Quote JaneDoe: I missed a LOT in this thread!! I just wanted to state that my comments were not meant as an insult to the OP, I was simply disagreeing and stating my opinion that I'm loving GH. Simple counter argument. "It's just a soap" has been my tag line for the last week or more in relation to a post I was involved in last week I believe (my memory is whack these days ) about how people are emotionally involved with GH. I'm pretty adamant about the fact that to me, GH is "just a soap". Nothing I say about this character or that should be taken too seriously because I'm liable to change my opinion completely within the course of one scene. I just don't get that attached to the characters or couples....I though it was a good idea to display that at the end of my posts so that people would know how I felt. It seems to be causing more trouble than it's worth, so I'll stop using it from now on.

This has NOTHING to do with this post, but just wanted to add: I realize that some fans are WAY more emotionally involved in this show than I am and that is why I rarely post in fan threads anymore. I KNOW I'm not sensitive enough to post with die hard fans because I simply lack the understanding of how someone can be so serious about a fictional character. I'd like everyone to know that I NEVER intentionally try to belittle any one's opinions, but I think it comes off that way sometimes. I like to debate, but I think sometimes posters take it too personal.
