Everyone reacts in a crisis differently. I'm one of those people who stays calm until that crisis passes then lose it. But most people I know freak out. I've called 911 several times while people twice my age stood around, frozen. The just didn't know what to do. |

Quote Angel929: Everyone reacts in a crisis differently. I'm one of those people who stays calm until that crisis passes then lose it. But most people I know freak out. I've called 911 several times while people twice my age stood around, frozen. The just didn't know what to do. Basically, it comes down to the thought process. In emergencies, my brain immediately shuts down all emotion and I focus on what needs to be done. I'm not an emotional person in public so I'm used to shutting down my emotions until I'm in private. But others, the emotions take over and the thought process shuts down. When that happens, they have so many emotions going on in their brain that it is like they are on a spinning ride. Until the ride stops, they can't think. I too thought Lulu call 911. But then I thought of my older sister. My older sister could not call 911 to Tsave her life. Lulu's tough act is just that, an act. You never see her being tough when others are not around to protect her. Well I didn't lose it totally, I was focused on dh and what was happening that is why I called 911. He could not get up, he had drool, he couldn't move his left arm, had I waited any longer he would not be here. I do know even if my brother were a cop, I would have called 911, or Johnny as she always does...jmo...Peggy |

Quote genhospchat: The only reason I can think of for Lulu to NOT call 911 is because no matter what, she didn't want Logan to get in trouble. I know it's not one of the most clever things to do but that's what I came up with..aside from her being scared. Everyone keeps talking about her being a Spencer and things being fed to her about survival etc since birth by Luke but remember, her dad was NEVER around pretty well her whole life so she didn't hear those types of things...those things were said to Lucky, yes, but Lulu, no...she was raised by her grandmother. I think that's the reason she is so DISLIKE her parents....Spencer last name or not. gen- She had Laura around for the first seven or eight years of her life (longer if you account for the SORASing they did on her) and yes, she had her grandmother AND her BROTHERS... Do you really think none of them taught her a thing or two about survival? She's been fast on her feet in other situations, why not this one? It was very sloppy writing - there's no getting around that. It's lazy and it's insulting. Okay, so Guza WANTED her to be a victim - there are other ways to go about it and still end up with Lulu being the one to inadvertantly kill him in self defense. Gotta part ways with you on the Lulu not wanting to get Logan in trouble angle, too. Just... no... There's no way to spin that without making her look completely foolish. |

Quote jamimi04: Ok it must just be me but when lulu couldn't get hold of Lucky or not calling 911 but I'm thinking to myself why isn't she calling Spinelli and Jason if she didn't through to call 911??????? Next I was thinking why did she stay in the living room when she knew he was on his way over instead of locking herself in one of the bedrooms with her cell phone or looking for another way out. JMO WORD, Jamimi! What would have been wrong with making him chop through another door or two with Lulu locked and barricaded in a bathroom? At least THEN she wouldn't have looked so... inept... |

Quote GenHospitalfan: Quote meowbowow: Quote BNH444 Like I said. Some people panic more than others. Like another poster said, someone asked what the number was for 911. People panic especially when your ex-bf is knocking down the door with a axe. I am still confused as to where that axe came from. I would hope that I would call 911 but I don't know exactly what I would do unless I was in that situation. As I said in my original post in this thread. TPTB did this so the police wouldn't show up and so that Logan would die. I am also confused as to how Maxie saw Logan looking out the window when she was knocked out...ohhh welll... Like I said I DID call 911, it's not rocket science. She should have called them long b4 Logan came at her door w/an axe. She should have called the minute she saw Maxie laying on the floor. Like I said I tried to wake my ex up and lickety-split called 911. That's exactly what she should have done. No excuses. I'm glad, for the sake of your ex, that you were able to do that....but I don't think it is fair to say that if someone is in the same type of situation - or any type of emergency - and didn't do the same thing, that they are an idiot. I know - those weren't your words, so don't jump. I'm not even talking about the Lulu situation...she simply didn't call b/c it wasn't in the script - and would have not caused the drama that they are going for. JMO. The MAIN point is... they could have STILL done the drama WITHOUT making Lulu look like she was stupid or frail or inept or choose any adjective that you want. Lulu isn't stupid, and neither are the fans - isn't it time the writers recognized that FACT and stopped insulting us? |

If so, take my reply for what it's worth... It isn't JUST about her not calling 9-1-1. It was the way the whole thing went down. Her not calling 9-1-1 was just the most glaring example of how stupid the WRITERS think we (the fans) and Lulu are. Add in all the other things and it just gets worse. |

YES......... does that make her a DUMB person? NO! Great Post S-NS...as always!  Just one point to add...LULU (Julie) follows the script given to her. You want to get mad, take it out on GUZA and the rest of the writing staff....but just remember, this is a SOAP OPERA....calling 911 would have eighty-sixed the rest of the planned storyline, so that had to find alternate "calls" for her to make. JMHO! |

You reacted logically, stuffed your emotions, and focused on what needed to be done. However, some people react emotionally to situations. The minute they react emotionally, they have so many different emotions going on, they can't shut them down and focus. If Lulu was the type of person to not react emotionally, she would have called 911. However, she isn't that type of person. How many times does Lulu talk without thinking? That shows that Lulu gets caught up in the emotions of the situation. Basically it like the mother whose child's leg gets cut, the child needs 20 stitches and the mother picks up the child and takes them to the doctor. Compared to the mother whose child skins its' knee, the mother sees blood and freaks. One mother is reacting from a logical part of the brain and the other is reacting from the emotional part of their brain. Neither is a bad mother. It isn't something that can be controlled. It is an initial reaction in your brain rather you react with emotions or logic. You know the right-brained/left brained stuff. |

I would hope that my first thought in her situation would be to call 911, so I obviously agree with you there. I do think that calling 911 is the smartest thing to do. BUT I don't see not calling 911 as dumb...I just agree with some of the other posters that sometimes you lose the abilitly to think clearly in a situation like that. I don't really think that fits Lulu's character - I was more talking about people in general. Maybe I'm being overly sensitive!!! Either way I feel kind of bad for Logan....he totally took a knife to the gut or chest - EITHER would be horrible! It was clearly an accident though....I think we can all agree there. |
