Agree!!!

Is Nelle supposed to be 20? Like say @ the time Nina miscarried before her coma? Reallly hope the writers didn’t think of this. Hope this is your great imagination instead Jim! Lol!!

Me neither, CeeCee…..Morgan’s newbie charm wore off quite quickly when he was revealed to be a perpetual screw-up. It was all or nothing for this often aimless young man and we were frequently left with huge voids for him in term of his character development….he pretty much had no identity save for the fact he was Sonny and Carly’s baby boy. Of course, the countless torturous ways the writers either totally ignored or horribly exploited him did the Corinthos Kid no favors either….so many prior indignities, and finally a really poorly defined case of mental illness that just exacerbated my disgust and disregard for him. Good riddance to this pointless character, but best of luck to Mr. Craig.

he can go to clown college then,,,lol

Celia…OH, TOTALLY!!!!! I (also) am not sorry to see him go. More and more, the character of Morgan Corinthos did nothing but ANNOY me!!!!! SAYONARA!!!!!

Have a good one, friend.

Morgan is that little kid who pretends to run away. He hides in the backyard only to come home hours later and discovers nobody noticed he was gone.
No, this did not happen to me.
Shut up.

Wow Harry. Smh…find it difficult to understand how viewers think Morgan is spoiled, selfish or anything other than struggling. He’s such an interesting, deserving of empathy character in my eyes…

Rebecca, once again we disagree respectfully. I know bipolar disease inside and out. Morgan is the not the face of manic depression, and it was handled badly with no bread crumbs leading up to this diagnosis.
The writing was not there and it was not overcome by brilliant method acting.
I have said this before and I will say it again, if you are going to tackle the serious and complex subject of bipolar disease on a soap opera you need to make it right.
GH failed on so many levels on the subject of bipolar disease.

Harry my love… 🙂 Maurice Bernard, as you and most of us know, is bipolar. He consulted and approved of the story. I’m not saying it was executed with precision accuracy but Bryan portrayed a guy who had insecurities about where he fit in with Sonny…even BEFORE and probably aside from, his bipolar condition.

It’s my contention that when I watch any show I approach characters as I would in reality…of course the more realistic stories…not the ‘soapy only-in-soaps stories. So just as a separate entity, if I was just watching a show about this family, I would feel for Morgan. He was sent away at an early age to be kept from Sonny, thus being deprived of many close, bonding times. Yes, he had and loved Jax, which was great. But still, he had this realization that Sonny adored Michael, that Michael and Sonny shared all the years that Morgan never had, that Michael was the favored son, that he could do no wrong. To a child’s eyes…that is devastating. He was further angered by the fact that HE, Morgan, was Sonny’s biological son, not Michael, and felt a rivalry, resentment…not because he was a ‘brat” or “spoiled” … just hurt, feeling always on the outside.
The fact that he was a happy, loving little boy who turned troubled is perfectly plausible to me. We missed many of Morgan!s years, sometimes psychiatric symptoms flare up or present themselves due to some catalyst. We saw him spiral. His”manic” state was very believable to me. He felt invincible when he tried to take on the mob. Well, people in a manic state often feel that way. He was manic with kiKi…realistic too. His down moods were very hopeless. No matter what light, even a visit from baby Avery whom he loved, couldn’t lift his spirits.
I think Morgan’s story was very respectfully and pretty accurately portrayed and I think some are to quick to judge a character…maybe in real life too…without understanding why they are the way they are.
As always, just my view. I respect you having yours…even though you’re WRONG! Just kidding. Okay I’m not. Ummmmmm…hug it out? LOL…friends Harry. We are so all’s cool…. 😉

I couldn’t disagree more. Bryan Craig got the chance of his life with the role he landed as Morgan…at such a young age and fairly new to acting. He got to display such depth of emotion and he did it so well that I wouldn’t be surprised if he got called immediately, if not for another soap (which he may not want to do) but for prime time or a film. Most actors WANt the rich role he got…

Morgan never got on my nerves. He was different than the cookie cutter young guy just hangin’ out, dating, love triangles, etc. He was the son who felt neglected, who got shipped off to school, who felt he had to compete for Sonny’s love, for Kiki’s love…he was the guy who fell for an older woman, was forced to break up with her, was devastated…he went through highs and lows which were so intense…and I FELT for him because he was a good guy struggling, lost,…but when he was happy, when he was proud of an accomplishment, I beamed with him/for him.

Anyway, I never attributed any of his “bad behavior” as spoiled or whatever some felt. I think his reactions were entirely understandable at every turn, whether because of his psychological chemical imbalance or his confused childhood. Love the character, love how Bryan played him…and I don’t think his decision to leave was because he didn’t like his character. I just think he wants to branch out to other acting opportunities. Big loss for the show and for me as a fan.

I am sorry to see Mr. Craig go. I thought his character had potential. I did nto care for the bipolar development as I think writers use mental illness as an excuse for plots more than for genuine interest in presenting a story about the condition (Can you say Sharon Newman?)

Still, this soap needs to dispense with some actors/characters. We never get enough of those we care about as the stories are drawn out so, characters disappear for weeks at at a time, and focus is lost. I am glad to see so many favorites from daytime, but not at the expense of the tight storytelling we once had in Port Charles.

I hope not, nancy. We should keep the soaps we have!

Oh, my gosh. I had no idea what you guys were talking about. So, I just googled Drew. This is news to me, Timmmy. Chad is not the original adult Michael?
Wow, Drew is really cute…a little on the thin/frail side.
Depending on the angle, he reminds me of a younger Jason Priestley.

I will be so sad if Jane leaves, but I understand if she is ready to retire. I bet all of the Luke talk is build-up for him to return for November sweeps to ride off into the sunset with Tracy.

One could hardly blame her, if this is true, but that will be a real blow, whenever it happens.

It’d be nice to think that if JE left, they’d put Leslie Charleson back on contract (assuming she wants to be), to keep a real Quartermaine presence on the show. But I doubt it.

jane elliot has been wanting to leave for a good while now……………….

Yes, I did read that interview with Jane E.

I read in an interview with her that yes, she does want to retire…feels she’s been in the biz long enough and doesn’t have the drive or the need to act anymore. And, looking forward to “having a life” and doing other things. Of course, it’s her life…an understatement, LOL, but I can’t help but feel sad. We all realize the person playing the character is working act their craft/ doing their job and eventually will leave for one reason or another. But the attachment to the fictional person is so strong it really is a loss when you’ve watched and invested for so long. Hope she’s not leaving too soon… I hate to lose Tracy….

Jane Elliott… “is” HOT

do you think the writers… whilst in the midst of a heated in your face court trial for Eduardo… (Teddy)

find themselves drawn to the heated exchanges and turn on the endorphin

calling Dr. Joe…

LOL Patrick…Dr. Joe and Tracy? They could share custody and who knows from there…

I don’t think his decision has anything to do with Kristen or any other actor. Just wants to branch out…

just half of it!! I can’t remember the last time Scott had a story.
Jane Elliot is leaving because she’s on the backburner.
Monica comes & goes.
Felix shows up when his friend dies.
Brad & Lucas are nowhere to seen.
Lucy is ?
Catch my drift? Half the cast pops in from time to time and the consistency (or lack therof) is mind boggling
I don’t even remember when Bobbie & Scott broke up?

Yeah, half the cast (START with NINA) can goooooo !!

hopefully more regulars check into GH so Paul can Off them 😉

Maybe some virus will hit PC and those characters will need to check in and never check out 😉

So true!!!

Never liked Cameron M, Michael. He works at ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT….He is one of the hosts/reporters. He is very good at it….better than his acting.

True, true, and true, Timmmy.

Michael. Best post here.
I love your concise reasoning. Burgi will be a big loss. No way will he be able to remain. Where does he go from here? He is definitely not right in the head! Explore another mental case? That’s so overdone, it is pathetic, at this point.
As I always maintained, Michelle S is my favorite soap star…..would love for her to stay forever. But, not with all this baggage she is imposed on carrying.
Tyler’s exit bothers me not. However, that’s because he was hot and cold for me. I liked him at first, then something snapped (he became very dark) and, I lost all interest.
But, you, Michael….You have just put ‘events’, or lack-thereof, in perspective. Love it.!!

Yeah, Nancy…ME TOO!!!!! SAYONARA!!!!!

Yup, methinks, I agree…LOL.

I would switch out Darby with Curtis. Not feeling that “Shaft” vibe! Darby is a bitch and can reek lots of havoc and THEN end up in the harbor!

If you like him it doesn’t matter what anyone else says.

Hi, Rebecca.
I understand your ennui….your passion. Believe me, I do.
It’s hard, isn’t it?….,When we see beauty in someone or something that no one else does!!! It’s like an abstract painting…..open canvas. The mind’s eye sees what it wants to see.
I, for one, never saw what you see in Morgan. Perhaps in time, I would have. He’s leaving; soooo….
We, as individuals, do not think the same thoughts, do not appreciate the same things, and, associate with those we like or with whom we feel comfortable.
You and I both love Nina, for instance. We are an endangered species…LOL. She has been put through the ringer by posters….still is!!!!! I wish everyone loved her as I do; or saw what I see in her….but, bottom line; I cannot impose my will upon them.
I get very frustrated and annoyed when I read negative stuff about characters whom I adore; but, they, too, have a right to express their feelings.
It is such a waste of time to pick on everyone’s brain. I have learned much these past couple of years or so. I have been trying to express what I think with a little more decorum, albeit I do slip now and again. It took me a long while to embrace Alexis. I am really fond of this character….and, I resent the evil that is in Paul. I know he put something in the water he offered her. I said she would act weird; and I also suspect Julian will go free, with the possibility of her taking him back. Will she swim in deep waters again, only to drown? Hope not!!
I love Shay and Timmm, the best, yes. But, I love everyone else too. I accept them and what they have to say. If I am not clear on something, I will question it. That’s just my personality. I have never, even as a child, accepted something on face-value. I always delved for something more, until I was satisfied with the answer.
Shay never liked Sabrina, per se. She does not like Hayden or Nina either. That’s ok. It’s her prerogative. I see what she is saying, as everyone else. It makes no difference to me. I still enjoy and look forward to reading her and Timmm’s stuff. I find their writing entertaining….as I do yours, and many others.
Bottom line, I still like both Hayden and Nina. So, no matter what….we remain online friends, whether we agree or disagree. We respect each others’s opinions, and leave it at that. I would not want it any other way.
However, I do agree that many of us do get carried away when we nit-pick a character….since, those, at times, uncomplimentary words do reflect the actors, themselves. I did take heed, Rebecca. And, I have been trying VERY hard !!!!! So, I do limit myself tomdiscussing the character’s behavior, as written by TPTB, and not so much negative, physical appearance.
All good?? Later.
Going into the city again, Rebecca. You live in Manhattan, right?….loooove the city!!!!

Hi Boss…I honestly am not sure if you were being sarcastic . Your post to me could be taken as…as long as you like him then you can appreciate his acting regardless if someone else doesn’t…or it could be taken that you’re implying I don’ t think anyone else’s opinion matters. Hmmmmm…since I’ m not sure I won’t respond to it.

Hey CeeCee! I have to give you credit! This was probably my favorite post of yours in all the time I’ve known you…to me or anyone else. Loved what you wrote, how you expressed it and the message behind it. I get it…and you. With that said, LOL, I have to disagree about your two friends. You know how I feel. Whatever you expressed about them I feel the complete opposite and more. It is so frustrating because to delve further would only exacerbate that situation. If we were face to face, if we had private email to talk…but we don’t and so expounding is limited. What I will say is you’re an intelligent person but perhaps due to loyalty you’ve missed several key points in the above-mentioned posts/interactions between us. I’ve already said, the issues with those two are not about characters they do or don’ t like. It goes way beyond that.
As for voicing opinions on characters/actors most of us who post, do. As an example elm 1951 implied she didn’t like Craig’s acting. I said I do…kinda don’t get how people don’t..then gave a little peace thang with a smile…
As you know, we have posters telling others to shut up which occurred on the other page…others saying “buh bye” (your friend has uttered that to posters he disagreed with who said they’d stop watching). Your other friend told Rose she doesn’t know where all these new posters were who came out of the woodwork to defend Sabrina…and didn’t seem happy they were “here.” Yet she welcomed a whole slew of new posters…who we never heard from again…when we had that “memorable three day attack”. Those people she welcomed with open arms and gleefully filled them in on “the troublemaker” as she proceeded to egg them on. The only time I heard said person like a character or actress was either for her fashion/style sense or beauty. Never for their “character” double entendre but true. Even called Emma a brat…and the little actress who plays her no comparison to Kimberly as a child actress. I mean…c’mon! The little one can read…not only don’t”t I get THOSE sentiments but what if Brooklyn read them! Sigh…yes, you’re entitled to your rose-colored glasses…but they’re not my prescription cause I don’t see them at ALL thru your eyes. But! We still have plenty like qualities…
Yes, born in the city! Enjoy and catch you later! And…thanks….
