DOESNT play like real time…

I am not giving up just yet…i just felt the last few days of soap watching just wasnt too great i.m.o., and was disappointed in some storylines that i had higher expectations for…plus some filler plots that just drags out other stories can be annoying but im trying not to let that bug me…i do not and i repeat do not mention my current health issues for any kind of sympathy like some other commenters think i do…i occasionally mention it because sometimes it intefers with my writing and causes some memory lapses…so sometimes i make mistakes…also watching soaps have… Read more »

But see, Michael? Jim usually is the one trying to think of something positive to say about GH. The very fact that he is complaining should mean something to you. Telling him to keep quiet for the sake of collective perception sounds rather desperate. Not only that, it seems that you might think that Jim has the power to sway other viewers with his opinion. In other words, you gave him an off handed compliment. It also makes me wonder who the heck you are.

ATTENTION LISA AND OTHERS ON THIS MESSAGE BOARD: One of my problems is depression…something i have in common with a certain soap actor and has been a problem for years…soap watching helps me cope with my battling with depression and other health issues that includes severe pain…when i said watching soaps helps me cope with health problems was my way of hoping to help others with similiar problems…you dont know me and what im dealing with…i wasnt going to go into details but i thought i need to explain my self to you after your rude uncalled for comparing me… Read more »

You should be ashamed of yourself. We lose people everyday to depression and you’re adding fuel to the fire…simmer down.

Lisa…that is N-O-T a very nice thing to say…PERIOD!!!!! Not cool at all. Depression is NOTHING to joke about or to laugh at. No. Please stop it.

Thank you.

I’d like to know why anyone posting on this site thinks it is appropriate to personally attack another poster. This forum is for opinions and discussion. If you all love the show so much than write about that. But it’s hard to isn’t it? So what you do is attack someone who intelligently points out the shows flaws. I post on this site and I can’t remember the last time I had something positive to say. And it makes perfect sense that I can’t, because I find the writing and production to be of extremely poor quality through and through,… Read more »

Michael, Lisa and David–OH my! It might interest you three (thought I suspect that you may be one person) to know that Jim is one of the most optimistic GH fans. Sure, he complains from time to time but that only serves to show that he is a bit of a realist. In fact, Jim has often, in his good natured and witty way, come along to jolt me out of my own negative thinking when it comes to GH. You attacking one of the biggest GH supporters in such a nasty way is really unwarranted. Thank you GH50 for… Read more »

I never attacked anyone. Sayint let the door hit you on the way out last time I checked was not a personal attack. The point is GH50 and jimh you both should have quit watching a long time. You hate the show so much yet all you do is complain about it. As I have said before though if you didn’t watch you wouldn’t be able to come on here and complain. ABC is very happy with GH as well its producer/writer. That won’t be changing. Yet people like you continue to watch and complain for over 2 years now.… Read more »

GH50, my issue with you isn’t what you post, because you certainly have the right to post your opinions, just like anyone else. I would never question or doubt that. My issue is that you come off with this attitude like you think your opinions are the gospel passed down from the Lord Almighty himself. Speaking for myself, you rub me the wrong way with the way you condescendingly talk down to people that don’t share the same views as you, like you’re somehow smarter than everyone else in the room. This post you just made is further proof of… Read more »

Dan, I couldn’t even get through reading your whole post and if you happen to think that is condescending than so be it this time. The reason for that is because you are absolutely off base. I post about the show. They are obviously my opinions. If they sound like the gospel to you it might be because there is so much truth to them. If they anger you or anyone else, it could be that you are more than just a fan of the show. I am critical of the show, not other posters. I rarely, if ever, engage… Read more »

Obviously David you havent read all my posts…first of all i am NOT 100% critical of GH…had you read my other post were i said the next episode was a slight improvement you would know that…i even said im trying to keep watching which means i do still have some interest in both shows…many here including myself have said positive things and negative things about our shows…just like some resturuants there are food i like and some i dislike but it doesnt mean ill stop eating there unless it all turns bad…same with my soaps…just because I didnt like this… Read more »

Jimh I am sorry to hear about your health issues that you and your child are having. WHile we may not agree about things said in regards to GH I dont have anything personal against you. I hope things get better soon for both of you and I hope that this upcoming week is better for you. I believe I try to be civil but in fairness and may be its not you but there are many that post on that if you say anything positive about GH they jump down your throats. I was in no way looking to… Read more »

Thanks David for your Aug.16 5:14pm reply…i do feel we now understand each other in a better way…your original reply wasnt as harsh as some of the others…how bad i was feeling and my 17 year olds health scare plus my depression combined with those replies just got me going…one poster said to my negative comments i must need to get laid…that was completely rude and childish and then Lisa said i belong in the hosptital with Heather…now she probably didnt know about my depression issues(i didnt intend to go in to detail so i mentioned medical) but i still… Read more »

First off to Harry I only post as me. The moderators of this site I am sure can verify that. I don’t think anyone was attacking anyone. The point that I saw everyone making is there is a constant theme of jimh and even GH50 of constantly complaining about GH. My simple point was why watch. It has become so bad but yet for over a year at least Ive seen nothing but complaints from jimh. My opinion is he shouldn’t watch. If people disagree witht that its their right to do so. But it is also my right to… Read more »

Hello, jimh! Just wanted to add my good wishes to you for better days ahead (and for GH, too!!!!) Without previously knowing the specifics, I had read between the lines and guessed that you had experienced far more than your share of trials and tribulations in life, yet you always seem to be one of the most pleasant and welcome voices on this website…even when you have a negative comment! Don’t ever change or let the naysayers get you down…..you have both a wonderful imagination and an enviable knowledge of soap opera history . I have learned so much from… Read more »

Mary SF, you have been one of my favorites on this site along with several others…you are always thoughtful and make well written inteligent comments…thanks for the compliment about my creativeness but ive seen you come up with some brilliant ideas yourself…so i compliment you too…i know i had to explain myself in the past and especially to you…i seen another poster be rude to a different poster about how the latter had written her comments and she had to go one to explain her medical condition which you know ive had to do several times here…well, this turn out… Read more »

Good Lord, David! I looked up the word loquacious in the dictionary and it read, ‘See David.” Really, brevity is the soul of wit. Honestly, you would not have to go on so long if you felt you were in the right. I do not want to belabor this topic. However, I will say this–you are just plain wrong when you claim that commentators start to blindly engage in insulting behavior when another commentator says something positive about GH. That is simply not true. In fact, it is the other way around– the folks who have dared find fault with… Read more »

Thanks Mary…it was an overwhelming stressful week…last night i visited my oldest sister and that was a lot of help plus i went back to counseling…this depression runs in my family and me and my two older sisters been in treatments for it…we’ve experienced a lot of tragic moments in our lives…ive also survived past suicide attempts…the last in 1998…im doing somewhat better at the moment…i apologize for going off topic folks(i felt i needed to) and to thank Mary SF for your kind support…God Bless You!!!

Hahahahaha…Harry… ! (love that dry, sardonic one-two) LOL

You perk me up Harry when im feeling down…the Beach Boys…love it…lol

I agree, I left the word “should” out of my remark. But hey, don’t you wish she was assigned this Monday & Tuesday when the cops go after Levi & his partner, using the same attitude as “Sami”?

Aria, I like the way you think. And could Frank Valentini also stop Tweeting,”After today, GH will never be the same”?

* not a fan of Sam and Jason or Sam being describe as the love of his life I’m more of a Liz and Jason pairing especially if billy miller takes over the role they would be hot together, an although I stRted liking Liz with Nikolai they r taking to long with that n I’m beginning to find prince nick boring and sometime full of himself.

Aria…who knows…you might get your wish…Jason may suffer from amnesia and when he comes back he might be more attracted to Liz than Sam…

Also Aria if there is a slight chance that Jason does return and paired with Liz, maybe the seemed to be forgotten Ric Lansing(i know he is in witness protection but is he or isnt he gone from the show for good…will he return…i thought he would for Molly after the car accident or when her home got bombed) will reenter the picture and complicate the situation…just a thought!!!

I don’t think Jason is going to be paired with either Liz or Sam. I think he will be morphed into an unrecognizable Cassadine agent…and no one will even know he’s back (not even him!)

Tell me about it!!! Although I don’t necessarily buy into Milo’s sudden “epiphany” regarding Nurse Johnson, I’ll admit it certainly was a “thinking outside the box” idea. I do applaud the notion of this “take-charge” nurse finally receiving some well-deserved male attention! But what’s next? Morgan courting Alice?….It would be nice to see Ms. Gunderson be the next lady to nab a boyfriend! (And far better for Sonny’s boy than hanging out with that repulsive “Grossalie!”)

@rebecca1….Of course I was just kidding about Morgan and Alice, although I do think their “friendship” is adorable….he worships “The Dominator!” (And it would be ever so nice to see her find a nice “gentleman!!!”) I do agree with you about Kiki and the younger Corinthos brother…they work much better this time around, and I’ll bet anything she really is Nina’s Clayby…I wonder if the truth will come out when Ava gives birth, say she develops complications and is forced to admit this is her first child? (If she is indeed pregnant at all….there are days I still have my… Read more »

I think Grossalie is here for a while…I see no purpose to making her “shady” and so anti-Silas if there wasn’t a reason. I don’t think Franco’s insane. I think they’ve given him, FINALLY, an adult personality with a backbone…someone I like and can root for. Roger does revenge and vulnerability very well, and I think he’s getting to use that talent in this more recently evolved personality. Yeah Nina’s insane, but not without reason. How much can the mind take…how much life can be lost…at the hand of one’s own mother! So, I see these two mixed-up souls bonding… Read more »

@ rebecca1…..You had me pretty much in total agreement (except for Franco….maybe he’s borderline insane, meaning he could go either way?….) with you until the very LAST sentence! (NO Sappy with Michael…NEVER EVER!) But I guess THAT’s progress….LOL!

@Shay…LOL! Progress will be made when you start softening your attitude toward Sabrina. If Carly can like Franco, and Michael and Morgan can get past their rivalry and betrayal, if Sam and Elizabeth can put aside their Jason issues…if Mac could finally come to like our dearly departed Spinelli…it is up to you dear soap bud to open up your soapy heart to the lovely, goodhearted nurse. Then, and only then, will you find room enough in your ticker to vehemently despise another too good to be true (but is) soapstress.

Hah! Sorry, so NOT gonna happen, rebecca1!!!! To be completely honest, I have never “vehemently despised” another “soapstress” like the one currently the topic of our discussion. I’ve had some who were minor (even major ) annoyances and a few who were quite disliked, but I’ve not before experienced such an immense and complete antipathy toward a character as I have with this one. It was instinctual, not premeditated…just a natural, instantaneous reaction, so I rolled with it. I don’t ever foresee that disdain waning…it’s pretty much carved in stone, no matter how much you try to coax, cajole or… Read more »

you don’t have to explain yourself to me or anyone else jimh…it’s all good fun…or should be. don’t take the negative comments to heart…insensitive people are the ones with the real emotional problems.

feel better and “see you” out here on the next post!
