Quote onlygh: Quote frenchmocha83: I guess I'll christen the thread by saying I don't want Spixie to be a romantic couple. Maxie doesn't deserve a guy as giving as Spinelli and Spinelli doesn't deserve a girl as selfish as Maxie. They would suck the life out of each other by accident. I like them as friends, but I don't even want that until after Maxie suffers for what she's behind Spinelli's back and to his face. What she said! I'm a Spin fan and I can't stand to watch Maxie continuing to play him. I loved their friendship but the attempt to turn it into a romantic relationship is a huge failure. Soon Maxie will complete her tireless campaign of dicing Spin's heart into teeny-tiny little bits. What a shame. I love these two. While I agree that the attempt to turn it into a romantic relationship has not gone well, I don't blame that on the chemistry and dynamic of the couple. I blame it on three things. The first is the writing. I feel that TPTB lost the sense of what makes Spixie tick in an attempt to make a grand storyline. The core of Spixie has been lost in the theatrics of the storylines that does not mesh well with the dynamic that is Spixie. Therefore, it just didn't feel right. In fact, it is damaging. The second is Winnie. This has nothing to do with like or dislike of the character. She was originally to be around for 5 days. All of a sudden she was playing a huge part in the Biotoxin storyline. That did two things, one it over-exposed us to Spinelli speak (and I love Spinelli) but also separated Spixie for a prolonged period of time (I feel that a lot was changed to accommodate this character). Spixie haven't really been together since. And that is my last point, it is hard to make a storyline about a couple becoming romantic when they are separated all of the time. I think that they are trying to make if very angsty and soapy, but that brings me back to my originial point. The angst has to match the dynamic of the couple. So, they have changed the couple to match the angst. I am hoping that this will change soon. I think it is ill-conceived. While I strongly disagree with the path they have taken, and I agree that they cannot become romantically involved as is (although they could have before Winnie IMO), it doesn't take away from my perception of the couple I love. I want these two to regain their gentle, respectful, honest and loyal relationship and become romantically involved. So, while I respect your thoughts about Spixie, please respect mine. I ask that you be kind to me in our discussions. |

Quote auntdoe: Glad to you too NWG. I do not think they were are either. The breakup data at the moment seems to be April 17th. Some of the drops says se kisses Johnny and Spin sees it. Once we get the breakup over hopefully the makeup will cone quickly. Though based on Bradford's interview he is not sure how they are going to take the story. I gather it is in the early stages. It might be a while before we get some Spixie love. I am wondering how much of it is stall tactics. However, Maxie has to realize what she has done and come to terms with it. She then has to change her behaviours. So, maybe it is good if there is a little time. I am just sorry it went down this path. However, if Maxie experiences this, maybe she won't do this again in the future. What I really want to see is the resurrection of their fun dynamic and the deep and honest nature of their relationship. |

Quote frenchmocha83: I don't know about anyone else, but I didn't know that the other Spixie thread was for everyone. I assumed it was a fan thread and didn't bother to go in because i think it's rude to post negatively in a fan thread. I hope Spixie fans who posted in there feel comfortable posting their love in here, even though some of us might have different views on them. Thank you for this. It is hard. Please try to be sensitive to our feelings here, although you may have from our posts. we have built up two threads and have had them deleted for not allowing them to be discussion threads. However, there are many threads on this board that are for fans only. It seems very unfair. I am fearful that this thread will become like what I see on a lot of other boards with a lot of disrespect between haters and lovers of a couple. However, I am grateful for your gesture. |

I agree with that. I think for them to grow as a couple maybe this is what had to happen. Maxie needs to realize she can not just do anything and Spin will always forgive. Spin needs to stand up for himself and let her know how he feels. I hope as she chases him they will bring back the fun dynamic not the mess we have seen the last couple of weeks. I was watching the show for Spixie and hoping at some point the gave me another reason to watch the show. Not happening. |

I thought that Spin brought the good side of Maxie out and Maxie brought out the self-confidence in Spinelli. I think I stopped rooting for them when Maxie slept with Spinelli to keep him away from Winnie. That was so heartbreaking to me because of how deep Spin's feelings for Maxie are. The fact that the writers glazed over that and didn't address the reprecussions of it but had Spinelli forgive and forget it ruined it for me. Then the Johnny/Maxie fiasco happened. I think if Maxie were to have to deal with the consequences of her bad decisions in regards to Spinelli and mature a little and if Spin were to be a little more assertive with Maxie, I could get behind a Spixie romantic relationship. But as long as they portray Spinelli as her lap dog while she floats around town making out with/flirting with other guys, I can't like it or her. Does that make sense? I feel like I babbled a little bit. lol. |

Trust me, I understand. I've stopped trying to figure out the mods reasons behind certain things. The Jolu fan thread is huge, and when a lot of the ex-fans of the couple wanted to rant in an anti-Jolu thread, it got deleted twice. We thought it was crazy because if we posted our anti-Jolu thoughts in the fan thread, we'd be going against board rules. Sometimes, we just can't win. But I totally meant what I said. Root for your couple anywhere you can, even if others disagree. Most people will try to be respectful of differing opinions while debating. |

Better she give Winnie a makeover and let nature take it's course  See, I disagree. At least I did until recently, and I am hopeful that things will change so that I can whole-heartedly disagree again. Up until recently, Maxie has always defended Spinelli and affirmed him. She has enjoyed his company and wanted to be around him. That to me doesn't indicate that she would chew him up. Maxie has never really had anything good happen to her. I liked that something good was happening to her with Spin. Some of her rough edges were softening and she was beginning to have faith in herself. I think that Spin's self-esteem was increasing with her affections, her company and her loyalty. I actually believe that out of the two it is Maxie who is the most vulnerable. Now, I am really disappointed with the way the story has turned. To me, it is inexplicable. I am dumbfounded by it. I agree I don't want to see Spin hurt or for Maxie to hurt him. The Maxie who we saw up until the new year wouldn't have done this. I am greatly saddened by what I am seeing. I agree that Maxie needs to face the consequences of her actions and realize that this behaviour is not okay. I am just really disheartened by the direction of the storyline. Betrayal was not ever a part of the spixie relationship. What I am blaming this on right now is bad writing and poor plot points. I am greatly hoping that the writers will pull a rabbit out of a hat and make this storyline great again. It certainly needs a lot of fixing right now. However, maybe both Spinelli and Maxie will learn to stand on their own two feet and grow. Then any relationship that evolves between them (whether romantic or friendship) will be healthier overall. I just hope that the writers think like I do. |

I feel like I babbled a little bit. lol. You know what, I totally agree with you. I do. I didn't like Maxie sleeping with Spin at all. It took me a while to get over that. What changed if for me was Maxie's reaction after she had sex with Spin. She seemed happy to be with him. Then when she was telling Jason about it she said that her night with him was very sweet and special. That told me that it meant more to Maxie than just using Spin or "staking her claim". I agree with you that that storyline got dropped and needed to be dealt with. Like you, I think that it ended to quickly and neither of them really dealt with the consequences. See, I feel that Maxie apologized profusely to Spinelli for what she said and did. However, he said very hurtful things to Maxie and never apologized for them. What I saw happening from that storyline was that Spin forgave her but they were both still hurting and that it would slowly be played out. Maxie said that she normally didn't fix things when she screwed up, but she was going to fix this. I saw this as being a great stage for growth. What happened? In my opinion, it comes back to Winnie staying. Whatever storyline was planned for Spixie got altered to accommodate Winnie. The result was that it was never dealt with. The last thing we saw was Spinelli forgiving Maxie and it was like nothing really happened. I regret that they dropped that. I also abhor what Maxie is doing now. Please don't think that because I am a Spixie fan I am overlooking what Maxie is doing. I think it is wrong on many levels and I am very sorry that TPTB are going down this road. What makes it especially hard is that no rationale is given and we Spixie fans are forced to speculate. That really isn't fair to the fans of this couple IMO. What I am trying to keep in mind is the big picture. I am still giving feedback that this is not the Maxie I know and that I am not happy with the direction. I am just hoping that there is a payoff for this angst. If it is character growth, awesome. If it is a mature relationship, fantastic. I am just waiting to see how it plays out. Angst comes with a soap. All good couples go through angst. I wish this angst was more in keeping with the nature of Spixie's gentle relationship, but I have to deal with what I have been given. What I really want is a return to the Spixie fun dyanamic at the end. Add an official, loyal and flirty romance to that dynamic and I will be in GH heaven. |

I do not know if you watched during the Lucy/Kevin days but that who they remind me of. Maxie reminds me of Lucy. Kevin was more sophisticated than Spin but the Spin/Maxie dynamic still reminds me of the Kevin/Lucy dynamic. I think that is partially why I fell in love with them. Also I saw one person comment on YouTube that compared them to Eugene/Coliope (sp) from DOOL. I think that is a good comparison too. That was a fun quad Kevin/Lucy/Felicia/Mac. It is too bad TPTB did not look back in their history and not copied them but followed a similar path with Jolu/Spixie. It could have been fun. Felicia and Lucy even had a similar relationship enemies that eventually became friends. |

Yeah I would agree with that one Also they have abandoned The Qs. Mac, and Alexis. They missed out on a great opportunity with JoLu/Spixie. That foursome dynamic is damaged beyond repair. They could have been golden but instead they chose a more sleazy route. |

Betrayal was not ever a part of the spixie relationship. What I am blaming this on right now is bad writing and poor plot points. I am greatly hoping that the writers will pull a rabbit out of a hat and make this storyline great again. It certainly needs a lot of fixing right now. However, maybe both Spinelli and Maxie will learn to stand on their own two feet and grow. Then any relationship that evolves between them (whether romantic or friendship) will be healthier overall. I just hope that the writers think like I do. I hope so too NWG; I am not too encouraged at the moment. It is like all of a sudden the writers turned on Spixie and forgot who they were. I do not know if you watched during the Lucy/Kevin days but that who they remind me of. Maxie reminds me of Lucy. Kevin was more sophisticated than Spin but the Spin/Maxie dynamic still reminds me of the Kevin/Lucy dynamic. I think that is partially why I fell in love with them. Also I saw one person comment on YouTube that compared them to Eugene/Coliope (sp) from DOOL. I think that is a good comparison too. That was a fun quad Kevin/Lucy/Felicia/Mac. It is too bad TPTB did not look back in their history and not copied them but followed a similar path with Jolu/Spixie. It could have been fun. Felicia and Lucy even had a similar relationship enemies that eventually became friends. The writers turned their backs on Spixie, Jolu, Lucky, Nik, and Luke as far as I can tell. Yeah I would agree with that one Also they have abandoned The Qs. Mac, and Alexis. They missed out on a great opportunity with JoLu/Spixie. That foursome dynamic is damaged beyond repair. They could have been golden but instead they chose a more sleazy route. Oh, so right! I wanted a friendship with that foursome so badly. The idea of Maxie and Lulu being frenemies and Johnny and Spin forming a strange but sincere bond. The idea of Spin and Lulu's yin vs. Johnny and Maxie's yang. |

I agree again, auntdoe (as you said in our last thread we all pretty much agreed LOL). I think that they had so much potential with a Jolu/Spixie friendship but it was ruined. Now two great relationships are ruined because of sleaze and a dynamic where the two directly involved are enabling each other's self-sabotaging behaviours. What a shame. Hopefully, TPTB will realize that people don't like watching betrayal and self-destruction and that there is a limit to what people will tolerate. I am still keeping a positive mind for the bigger picture. (can I say supporting spixie in this thread? LOL) |
