General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

I can't believe they are going back to Lulu/Maxie fighting. They were horribly written and tired. Lulu calls Maxie a skank. Maxie says Lulu isn't good in bed (and yet any guy that has been with them both has only spent one night with Maxie and run back to Lulu...how good can Maxie be?) Lulu gets a tiny win and Maxie gets to crush her the next round. These two do not need to be part of each other's worlds if all the writers can come up with is them fighting over boys. At least Lucy and Catherine fought over Deception, Brenda, the occassional guy and prestige and they weren't constantly forced into fights, they did give them other stuff to do that didn't contain the other. Do they think we enjoy seeing the constant bickering? I was so glad it was over.

I really hope Lulu knowing Matt gets to Maxie means she'll have Matt at the apartment constantly. Might get a Johnny with that one too. They said this wasn't supposed to go Maxie's way, but so far it sounds like her only punishment is losing Spinelli. Gee there's a fair trade. Lulu loses her pride, her b/f, her comfort at home and is humiliated while Maxie loses her biotch and gets everything else When does Lulu get it all and Maxie gets the shaft?

Over at the ABC MB they already have a Lulu and Matt thread started.

Hi Everyone,

Kat, thanks for the nice welcome back. I do enjoy posting with everyone here and the one thing I hope everyone will feel here is that no matter where you are in your Jolu love right now, your thoughts and opinions will be respected.

I was out of town today with work, so I have not seen the show...doesn't look like there was much to see really, other than Tracy trying to play interference with Luthan because she is not sure whose kid Ethan is as of yet. I had a feeling that Spin's help might get enlisted because of his cyberskills. I doubt we will know for sure who Ethan is until Holly shows up in May. I got a bit nervous when I saw the one thread about Johnny deserving to die or something of that nature. I thought, "Oh dear, what has he done now??"

Writersblock, I totally agree about the choppy writing. That's part of what has also killed Jolu...their story in the last few months was like a piece of swiss cheese...so many holes in it that it's pathetic!

I truly hope that the Jolu break results in Lulu leaving that apartment and Crimson too. If Johnny's going to make her think that he and Maxie have been messing around all along, then I cannot see how she'd feel comfortable in either place! It isn't like the Q's or Nik would not be happy to take her in or she could not get a job elsewhere either.

I'd also like to see some family support for her too...the girl has literally had no one but maybe Carly or Spin once in a while to turn to. Tracy's advised her too during the crisis and those scenes were nice. It would just be nice to see Lulu's family rally around her knowing she's hurting..she should not have to suffer in silence anymore. I would like to see Johnny get the cold shoulder from everyone too. I don't think the guy deserves to die, but suffer, yes indeed! Like Crystalclear said, it is hard not to feel some ire toward Johnny for how he's acted and treated Lulu. As women, it's quite easy to feel empathy for Lulu and wonder how we'd feel if she were our daughter, sister, or friend...would we want her with Johnny at this point? I cannot speak for anyone else here, but I personally wouldn't...not if he's continuing the pattern he is at present.

I will be interested to see today's ep. on Soapnet tonight for the Lulu scenes with Tracy. Tomorrow should be interesting...start of the fall out. I will miss out on seeing the show live on Friday...Friday and Monday do not sound like they will be much fun to watch. I'm not sure I can take more of Maxie's holier than thou attitude and Johnny's stupidity. Maxie has no right whatsoever to be POed at Lulu. How long has she had to endure these fake dates? Maxie's just upset that she cannot continue to choke Lulu's chain if Kate decides she'd rather have Matt as Crimson Boy.

We have no idea what couples will survive or not in all of this...I'd say the writers probably have no idea where they are going either. One thing I do know is that Maxie and Johnny better get knocked off their pedestals.

I can only speak for myself here...I don't presume why other feel what they feel, but if I had a daughter, sister or a friend that was in a relationship like Jolu and they broke up, I would NOT encourage that person or what her to reconcile with someone like that agian. I understand he was willing to go to prison/die for her over Logan, but that is long lost on me now after everthing he's put her through lately. It's like the writers forgot who Johnny was, but in retropect ever since they started, he has been the one to call the shots. He has been the one to call it quits, push her away, not really take up for her she has had very little say in their relationship. He has now become almost emotionally abusive towards her.


And Johnny is people's version of a perfect BF???

REALLY???

From DD:

Johnny/Lulu/Ethan: Johnny won't be a huge factor. Just in the begining. Lulu/Ethan is being done right.

Winnie/Spinelli/Matt/Maxie: Matt is being added to spice things up.

Lulu and Ethan form a new bond.

I watched a new ABC show last night, The Unusuals. It was great! One of the male detectives was watching GH, and it showed the scene where Johnny and Lulu are kissing on the HS, and Anthony is wheeled in by Logan and says "Don't let me interrupt!" Just thought it was interesting that it showcased Jolu instead of Sonny or Jason. The show stars Amber Tamblyn (ex Emily) so that's probably why they showed GH.

Hello girls... Well this is a really ahrd for my family and me , grieving the loss of our beloved Charli...Even my hubby is taking it hard. He was the one was with him in the end...He took and urn for his ashes... I asked him about the price and he told me he didn't care... he always pretended he was a bit detach but it was simply not true... He loved this loving doggie a lot too. A lot og grieving and crying for us... The house is empty and a part of my heart is gone.

As for Jolu, I don't see anythign good for them in the next few months... If you look at old clip and now...Where the love and chemistry has gone? It is simply no there anymore... The little saprk is gone. As for Lulu, the last few days she shined without dark Johnny... I loved her convo with Matt and Ethan... Not sure about Luthan but i am willing to give them a chance... they could be fun to watch. I had wuit Gh but now I have to do something to not think about my doggie...sSo I'll watch for a while and see... As for BB, I am not sure how long he will stay with the crap they write him. But, with the economy I am sure he needs his salary...

Luthan may be a go, but how can they be done right if Johnny isn't part of the equation? It sounds like Ethan will be a rebound for Lulu, and a quick one at that. TIIC will have to give him some qualities other than being a con man and a pickpocket. Lulu needs a distraction, and I'm all for that. At this point Matt is the only one I would like to see her spend some time with. I really don't think Luthan will have the fan support that is needed to make a soap couple work. I will see how it goes, but Ethan needs a lot of re-tooling before I am willing to get on the Luthan train.

Brace yourselves if HoHo do the deed the Maxie thinks she’s pregnant rumor has returned to the DD. I may not want JoLu together right now, but I do not want Maxie having his kid or bonding with him over losing his kid. If she pg it needs to be Matt or Spinelli saddled with her, not Johnny. The KOD to Sonny was giving him too many kids way too soon, Johnny needs to return to being the wild man not morph into a diaper changer. Nor do they need to redo CarSon’s start where a ONS = pg=miscarriage=relationship with HoHo.

Also rumors of Matt kissing Lulu have returned. I suspect, if it happens, it’s part of his scheme to make Maxie jealous. There was that old one about him kissing Lulu at Jake’s, Johnny seeing it and then going nuts on Matt at Crimson the next day when Matt came to talk to Lulu about his actions.

Now there are rumors that Stavros of Stefan might return. How many times have they killed Stavros? The last time he was on it almost killed the show, let’s leave him dead please. The guy who played Stefan was let go from DOOL I believe (correct me if I’m wrong) so he could return as Ethan’s dad. Imagine the obsessed with Laura ones seeing Lulu.

As you may be able to tell I’m not a big Cassadine fan because their recent stuff goes nowhere. Helena will lurk and threaten and, like AZ, her threats will never be followed through on nor will the ones against her; Luke will rage, Nik will be stoic, Alexis will posture and quake, and in the end she’ll leave to return another day. In the past they were deeply evil, but in the past their machinations were good and they were defeated at least for the time. Now their plans are lame (remember the dangerous Timoria computer thing? That never made a bit of sense, created a sense of urgency or went anywhere), linger on forever, and have inconclusive endings where the good guys don’t really win and I’m left to wonder why no one just shoots Helena in the head. Villains are to be defeated GH, wrong doers should suffer, good guys should win and not get beaten down. Now villains linger, the good suffer endlessly and the bad get whatever they want.

Crystal: Lulu’s character took a big hit waffling between Johnny and Logan. They want to do LuThan “right” by having Lulu completely free of any ties to Johnny during their chem test. With him admitting to wanting the EOH Lulu will cut all emotional ties to him and move on, it won’t be “I love Johnny maybe I should give him a chance, but Ethan is nice and not tainted, what do I do?” It will be, “Johnny who? He’s dead to me. Hey Ethan lay one on me.” And no one can fault her for staying with the “wrong” guy while wanting the “right” one like they did when she clung to cheater Logan with Johnny clearly being what she wanted. Once LuThan pass or fail Johnny can factor in. Either winning Lulu back if LuThan fail or trying to get her back and being angst for LuThan if they pass. That’s my take anyway.

Well girls….

I guess today is the beginning of the end! I am, I hate to say, looking forward to this mess coming to an end finally. As much as I’m hatin on Johnny right now and I’m sure I will be really hating him by the end of Monday’s show (the HOHO kiss) I would really hope the writer’s will start to dig him out of his hole. I still don’t want a Jolu reunion right now! I want to see what Ethan and Lulu bring to the show and I would like Johnny to have his own s/l as long as it’s not with Maxie and/or with Claws all the time cuz I couldn’t stomach that either. If Luthan takes off, I would like it they brought someone new on for Johnny, maybe Brooke Lynn (Ned and Lois’s daughter).

I have a feeling tomorrow is gonna be brutal! I am going to try and watch live, but I might want to hurl something at my TV when Johnny becomes a nasty @ss!
