Jeremy, can’t believe that I am in agreement with su0000 again, for the SECOND time (breathe again, Nancy!–lol) on almost all of her points.

Agreed, Jeremy…you always make good points.
I think that Claudette ( I knew before Claudette was personified), will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. She will materialize in PC and that will be he end of Nathan and Maxie. There is a little order in this chaos…LOL.
I knew since the ‘glove’ in the tux incident that Maxie and Nathan were headed downhill. TPTB do not want Nathan and Maxie together anymore.
Let’s not even talk about Morgan. Ugh!!
New blood?? Oh, boy, Jeremy…careful now. You will be called an ageist. LOL.

Then why don’t you guys post on the Days board? GH is not lame, i dont waiste time watching lame shows and if you are guys get so excited about it that you are posting on the GH board; they are doing something right.

@ CeeCee, yes, I do realize my wording wasn’t exactly what I was attempting to say. I suppose what I meant to say was that these four remaining soaps, and for me as a view, I watch DAYS and listen/watch GH, new writers to daytime should be considered, we see recycled stories over and over and over from the ‘seasoned’ daytime writers. Why not allow, any NEW writers to get in there and give us something new to talk about, new adventures, new mysteries, GH is lacking in adventure and mystery. Helena’s reading of the will, what a joke that was, mysterious in some ways, perhaps, but it’s nothing deep, it’s really not executed well. And we yearn for adventures, these “show pieces” are just that, here today…gone tomorrow. That doesn’t make me want to invest. Right now, I see more potential in DAYS OF OUR LIVES, and that’s just my personal opinion to others on this blog, not you CeeCee. Nice hearing from you again, love reading your other observations and thoughts, too.

My dearest Jeremy.
Again, my attempt at sarcasm failed miserably. LOL.
I agree with you about this, but in past posts, each time su, I or anyone else even mentioned the word, ‘ young ‘ or ‘new’, we were labeled ageists. I cannot blame the fans, i do understand thrir devotion to the vets. But, it is a vicious circle….there needs to always be room for younger actors.
Sadly, for Days, some of the youg ‘gang’ are failing ….however, they must start somewhere.
Trust me, my friend. I found nothing wrong with your writing. I enjoy reading your comments immensely.
Everyone is entitled to say whatever he/she has in mind( within borders, of course). When I disagree and give my opinion, I hope I do it civilly and not make the other poster feel less than. That is a terrible feeling.
Thank you, Jeremy, for your kind words. Nothing you said was improper or lacked decorum, of any kind.

Wow: should read, will, different, suppose….

I, like;

1. Kristina is gay
2. Tracy and her mind over matter
3. Anna started with so much celebrate… and argh! it’s still Finola Hughes

intriguing;

Griffin Munro… since the writing is so discombobulated… GH can make Griffin Anna’s son and/or Nephew

I still want to know ; who’s Claudette ????

how long is Kiki going to rehabilitate… a stronger woman without the Corinthos

YES! Curtis is helping investigate (Julian) and the saboteur of Crimson

wish listing

PS : I still like Mayor Lomax… hope she’s back more often

You haven’t missed much..
GH is like a quickly tossed salad- all mixed up but with only the lettuce ..

There is no main/solid anything it’s just a mess of go nowhere stories..

((I fear for GH if this continues ))

It’s like Su000 through the looking glass.
I agree with her now about GH but disagreed with her when she was the pom pom girl for Ron and GH.
I agree with Tom’s point.

@su0000.
Oh, Lord, you crack me up. This visual is your best one, yet….a tossed salad with only lettuce. Good one….great way of describing boring.
I must say, though….GH is not boring me too much, yet. I am looking forward to a few plots.

Exactly, Liz. We know they exist; but will the network be ok with it, as you stated.
I do believe it is exactly as you describe it.
I know that Mary SF would not make such a statement without thought. She knows exactly what she’s talking about. And, we are in agreement.

And it was just a cardboard kiss–no drama, no real story–the state of GH, unfortunately. We don’t care about any of these characters because we don’t “know” them.

Having token gay characters two of which are merely recurring and not woven into the fabric of the history of the show is not the same thing as making a legacy character from a major family openly gay and having that story front burner and permanent.

Yes Lucas is a legacy character and is gay, but after his coming out story he was written off the show and only came back recently and right now he might as well be a priest because after Ron left any or all realistic depictions of a gay sex life went out the window. The three gay characters on right now are so sanitized to be PC and PG they cannot offend anyone because their sexuality isn’t being shown at all, and when it was there a back lash.

Having gay characters exist on a soap but not showing every aspect of their gay experience including their sex life while claiming they support the gay community is like a KKK member saying he is not a racist because there is a black family in town. But yes, like you, I do credit GH for acknowledging the existence of homosexuality and other forms of sexuality, which is more than Y&R does, but I still see Kristina being fluid is not a sign of modern thinking but merely network brass playing it safe.

I can’t “see” them!

Mary’s theory is very sound, Gh 1000.
We are talking about a completely different person here, different gender, different personality.
Kristina as gay, or bi is a new concept for fans….having known her forever as being into boys/men.
We are not in THE MIDDLE AGES here…we are aware they exist. However, as Mary, i do believe TPTB have their BIG BROTHER eye opened wide. ‘They’ do want to test the waters….’they’ do want to see if the fans will conform or condone.
It never is as cut and dry as you think. And, do not ever ridicule/underestimate another’s post. State your premise without being rude, thank you.
Enough with the biting, sarcastic remarks by some of these posters.

I meant condemn, not condone.

Just because they exist doesn’t mean that ABC is 100% on board. I bet every time there’s a gay kiss, wedding or whatever the comment line goes nuts. Everything they’ve been doing lately is pandering to the few vocal viewers so I don’t doubt the testing the waters theory.

ABC, across the board and compared to NBC and CBS, is very progressive when it comes to LGBT visibility. There is LGBT talent on the news and the talk shows, there are LGBT characters on GH and in their primetime programming. Why would the execs at ABC hestitate to show a bisexual character?

Is that why Days killed off Will?….because the soap is so progressive? The only gay character left is Paul, whom I believe, will be ‘ungayed’.
At least, GH has an on-going romance between Brad and Lucas. How long this lasts remains to be seen. They could break up as any other couple.
Days completely disintegrated all gay characters. Paul only showed up, recently. It was ‘assumed’ he was around.
Besides, you said the theory of Mary’s ‘testing the waters’, held no water. But, now you agree. I am glad you see this now.
I do agree with you about the bisexuality storyline. You are right; it does seem that TPTB are hesitating….afraid to touch it.

Great post, Patrick. As a gay man, yourself, I do appreciate your input. Beside the point that each is an individual.

This is a good point. Valerie could have a fluid sexualty too, hec im starting to feel fluid haha

And speaking of Molly, why did she have to sleep with her boyfriend–in such an “off-hand” way, off-camera (!)–a big “meh”!

@ Nancy, maybe Molly didn’t sleep with TJ, maybe she said she did because of the conversation with Kristina beforehand, maybe Molly mislead everyone, to conform and be like everyone – which would be out of character for Molly to do, but hey, it’s possible, if we didn’t SEE that scene happen, it’s a possibility that Molly and TJ didn’t go all the way. If Molly & TJ did have sex, I believe after the few years dating and being together, the show would have shown bits and pieces to show the maturity levels of both characters and the evolution of their history, the making love scene could have been done tastefully and been a great tribute to these characters who took their time until it felt right. But, I’m not convinced, Molly in some ways, is her father’s daughter, she could still be a virgin!

I agree she only did it to show a point that she was not gay but it did not work at all beacuse we did not get to see them do it at all but when they tired to do it before at the hotel room and mom find out and stop it from going on at all. so I think her idea was not to tall any one, but the way the sisters find out should have not been a surprise at all the fact that molly tired to help Kristina and Kristina sad no to her the first time should have been a sign that Molly was med and that she did not like her stepfather at all she did warm to the house he brought for their mom OK but it did not help that her sister was med at her for looking at her diry to begin with and reading it with out her say so at all but T J was not around much so maybe you could be right and they told her to say they did it on camera and have mom finely cry and have mom finely say Molly is not my baby any more OK thats just what I think

Lol Timmmbo. Too funny.
@nancy dillingham. Well, nancy…don’t you know? Molly wanted to gift her mother on her wedding day…” Oh, mommy. I lost my virginity…fresh apple off your tree”.
Well, at least it wasn’t in the back seat of a car for Molly….or was it?

Parker and Lomax…i would have loved that…you should be a story consultant for GH.

I do love the way you think, Shay!!!! Your table is set, Shay, abounding with mouthwatering delicacies….just a matter of choosing the juiciest pickings.

Thank you, CeeCeeGirl! There’s always a bountiful banquet just waiting to be served in my mind….it’s the preparation and presentation that provides the problems when it comes to making the cut on the MF menu!!!! LOL….

Parker would have had to have been blind! And speaking of the lovely mayor of PC, where in the hell would a mayor behave like that especially to another women! The story sucks breast milk! [Sorry!]

I don’t see why being bisexual or not or whatever a person is has anything to do with soap drama..
It is so commonplace that nobody is shocked by it..
The younger generation has no problems with any of it, it is of their world..
Older people my see a story about it as being sensational, but really much to do about nothing in this 21st century..

there are many urgent happenings in our world to take preference over someone’s sexual preference, that even bringing upfront is totally oldfashioned lame.

furthermore–
I liked the way RC portrayed Brad, Felix, Lucas as normal everyday guys living their lives having fun romping in bed or shower, watching the Golden Girls,having love problems, and simply living their lives as all of do.. No big hoopla made of made it.

So far, I find the story rather boring, but it is creating an interesting convo here

I agree to some point but in real life pepole do not talk about it much I do not no way there are pepole getting bulled and look how the laws have changed there are weddings for gay pepole now and their is a lot of topics we do not talk about that we should talk about but that we do not here about at all but it is good to see a gay story and now we should talk more about transgenders they’er now coming in to soaps and it was a good idea and we should talk more about beacuse it is a really nice change so you should have a look at other soaps not just general hospital OK

Bisexuality isn’t “unhealthy”

Yes, we discussed this before, Shaybelle.
We both agreed early on, you and I, the other actress was so much more affable. I loved ‘that’ Kristina.
Presently, this one has BRF. Her attitude gives off negative vibes; arrogant; snarling!!

hey Timmm..
I know!
what on earth is wrong with them/writers..
It was more than belittling to women, it was written for show, a titty flashing WTH!? gezz for stupid degrading stuff..

((trust me when I say– it was absolutely not even close to an RC ”WOW’ moment..

I am lost; having not a clue as to what in heck they were thing to write that lame stuff..

I hear you, Timmm, and considering all the tasteless things we endured during the Ron C. regime, that is saying SO much!

I would love it, and thought they opened the door when they said nobody on the ship died.Now that Phyllis and Billy and cozying up, Kelly couldn’t show up at a better time- although this all will delay until May sweeps I suppose. I am not buying Victor’s attorney determined to throw the case against him- I guess it is certainly feasible, I thought he was more principled and this makes him just another sleazy attorney so perhaps… Since Y&R is casting a female prison nurse I am guessing Victor is convicted and then he and the nurse carry on- and I do like that idea. It was nice to see Monica but her face appears so swollen and round I am guessing she and Bobby Spencer have the same dermatalogist?

The effects of carbonic snow on the faces of female residents of a certain age in Port Charles? Is this another Cassadine curse? Let me just say that I hate Shawn, the pregnant girl on Y&R and I do not understand budget concerns take actors off contract then two days later they announce a new actress coming on board. Paul on Y&R has no Cassadine facial freeze and his colorist is excellent.

@Peggy.
LOL.
I know this is a GH site….but, Shawn is there for a reason. She may be INTO Nick, or she’s after money. Whatever it is, she is the to break up Sage and Nick, somehow.
Pal looks good…has been wearing a hair piece/ transplant for years.
The GH ladies; Finola, Genie, Michelle, Nancy, Laura, Jane, Kathleen…..they all look beautiful, naturally.

Paul, not Pal….there, not the….
GH (I forgot Lisa and Carolyn…beautiful ladies).
Lisa is gorgeous ….
