Quote cardgirl: Quote SlowAutumnWind: Okay, I'm going to try to do this in a calm, sophisticated manner, but don't quote me on that... Robin: STFU!! Seriously, just frickin have the baby already so we can all just move on with our lives! She's been such a frickin drama queen while pregnant that I'm absolutely DREADING what we're going to see when it comes time to give birth. And where the he!! is the big HIV pregnancy story?? *peeks under the couch* not under there... *checks the closet* not there either... tptb had a wonderful opportunity to tell a compelling story and what do they do? They spend three weeks b!tching about a blog? ARE YOU SERIOUS?? And it's about time Patrick grew some testicles and sidestepped Robin's monologue with legal paperwork! BRAVO! He should have done that when he first realized that he procreated with a delusional self-centered unreasonable shrew! Jax: You can't turn a ho into a housewife. If you wanted somebody to spend all day polishing your ego and churning out babies, go buy a mail order bride. You knew what you were in for, you decided to marry her anyway, and NOW you decide that her co-dependent relationship with Sonny and her absolute addiction to all things Jason is a problem? It's a TAD too late for that pal. Carly: OMG! Please not again! It didn't work the first, it's NOT going to work this time, please do us all a favor, pick up Lulu and you both take a vow of silence!! Nadine, buy a clue! It's never going to happen! The harder you try the dumber you look! And for the love of gawd, FIRE KATE'S STYLIST!! Oh Slowautumn... you made me spit on my keyboard. Can't turn a ho into a housewife....LMAO OMG waaayyy to funny!!!! ITA with everything, Jax needs to get a clue, he needs to shed his Ward Cleaver persona and use the brains God gave him and get as far away from Carly as humanly possible. Don't worry Jax I'm sure there is a June Cleaver out there just waiting to make some Wally and Beavers. I sure hope that Jason does not go along with Carly's latest scheme. I think he should take out that gun he keeps in his desk drawer and shoot Carly. The whole town of Port Chuck will probably give him a medal and a prade. The only other thing that is getting on my nerves is Alexis geez if you are that hard up... get a male escort anything is better that Jerry Jax. And letting him protect you and the girls is just giving a madman the keys to the kingdom... which is fitting because thinking that having an afair with Jerry is safe makes you the queen of Fantasy Land. And I just want Robin to shut up let's start a fund to give her mime lessons... anything that will shut her up. Gawd Your post is too funny!!!!! |

Quote ghfanagain: Writers Get a Clue!! Or better yet get some imagination. Scrubs!! You have totally blown this one. What could have/ should have been an intense informative HIV pregnancy s/l has been written as a totally ridiculous immature "teen type" pregnancy. I can't even find the right words. Shame!! Shame!! Skate!! Blown again. Kate stormed on to the screen and into Sonny's life as a strong independent "Devil wore Prada" character that had the fans interest peeked into their shared history. What happened to Kate? She is being written wishy washy clingy blah blah blah Logan!! Another lost opportunity!! A Logan/Lulu coupling and a resulting baby would have linked two core families from the past (Spencers and Balwins) to the future. Can you imagine the entertainment as Luke/Scotty try to adjust to a shared grandchild? Pricless!!! But then they would not have had a s/l for golden boy Johhny Z. Zacrazy family!! Get rid of them all especially Claudia who gets more unlikable the more they try to redeem her. A lot of fans have been lost on this s/l as fan favs (Liason & Lusam)have been sidelined to make room for the Z's. The only saving grace in this whole family is BW excellent portrayal of Papa Z. I agree with ya with the exception of the Logan character. Can't stand him. |

They r both dirty rats but what do u expect......... like father, like son. Core family or not I would not ever want Logan to pro-create b/c he's too stupid and has a hot temper. He doesn't deserve a family. |

If it wasn't for the Zacchara Family I would be ff through the whole show. I am glad Guza brought a new family on the show in my opinion it is the only thing that he has done right in awhile. Now if he would only get rid of Sonny and Kate, my prayers would be answered!! |

First and foremost, I am a Robin fan too, always will be! The writers are the blame for this poorly written S/L. Since they insist on making her character a neurotic mess, I think she should seek counseling to deal with her abandonment issues and confront how she truly feels about her parents/HIV status/dying and leaving her baby motherless and whatever else is going on. Maybe people wouldn’t criticize as much if she would be proactive and address these issues instead of shutting Patrick out. I do believe this S/L could have been interesting, but TPTB choose to be lazy in writing for this couple or lack of writing. IMO |

Since they insist on making her character a whining neurotic mess, I think the writers should have Robin seek counseling to deal with her abandonment issues and confront how she truly feels about her parents/HIV status/dying and leaving her baby motherless and whatever else is going on. If the writers would at least show a reason for the constant whining, maybe people wouldn’t criticize as much. Show a few scenes with Robin being proactive to address the issues instead of shutting Patrick out. I do believe this S/L could have been interesting, but TPTB choose to be lazy in writing for this couple or lack of writing. IMO. |

IMO And regarding Patrick’s current status with Robin/baby, dare I say Karma? I could care less about Sonny & Carly… same script same cast. I Love Jax, just wish he would get a CLUE! While it may true about Claudia’s motives for treating Spinelli with kindness, it at least opened Jason’s eyes how much of a friend Spinelli is. Great remarks regarding Robin. It could have been a really great s/l, but the writers have messed things up again...Peggy |

GH just doesn't seem to know where to go with all of these silly filler s/ls. I mean Jason is the new mob boss and after the burning down of the Z's home, I felt that this would be a pretty good mob story. That is not the case. It was stopped in its tracks. |

Liason s/l don't get me started on that one. They take one step forward and 10 paces back. Stalled once again. This hiring of new characters makes no sense, because people just don't care. They are losing fans left and right and here comes July and I'm still waiting for anything to keep my interest. I'm no newbie to the soaps, so I know about the ups and down of them, but GH has no direction where it is going. Sorry if I'm being negative, but I just had to get it off my chest.  I think you're my conscience dimples. Perhaps that's why I stalk your posts  ITA 100% with your post. I've been watching GH on and of for awhile. But itt was always my fall back soap until recently. One couple brought me back but if they don't start writing decent stories with decent arcs with some character development on top of that, I may just have to go back to OLTL. I hear it's good these days.

It's terrible because they have some of the best actors in daytime and I feel their talent is being wasted on this garbage writing. Maybe things will change because nothing stays the same forever.

Why they didn't make it Cooper or Logan is beyond me. Oh, and I want to add a few of my own specific grievances: 1. Budget properly. Why can't GH afford a new beginning and previews for that matter. (My sneaking suspicion is that the actors on that ABC soap are overpaid, but I'll stop myself from gossiping further) 2. Use the characters on canvas. Stop feeding us newbies and work with the fantastic actors already available. 3. Bring more balance not only to storylines but to each episode (I thought they did a better job with that today). What I mean by this is instead of the airhogs (Carly, Lulu, Claudia, Kate, Sonny, Spin, Jason) having all 7 segments, 4 or 5 days a week, have more characters per day with maybe 3 or 4 segments each. |

ITA w/all yr points, ESP. about SOME actors being way over-paid. That's not fair IMO b/c a lot of other s/l's suffer and other actors don't get the chance they deserve. Today was a really good show w/good balance. Like u said I wish they could do that instead of shoving the same characters and s/l's down our throats 5 days/week. It gets so old and IMO loses viewers, not to mention BORING!! |

I soooo agree about Patrick and Robin. If I have to hear that conversation one more time between them, I will die. I want Patrick to slap her and Anna. Can the writers not come up with something for these two great characters that doesn't involve Robin being a complete bword? |
