I really hope you are wrong…. I like GH and Days both, but Days deserves to be out of the ratings basement. I would lIke to see them both out of the basement!

I agree, Laura’s performance was outstanding. Kelly Monaco was really good also. Nicolas’ reaction was boring, just a smirk and aloof as always. I’m really tired of his role, it doesn’t bring much to the show. Was used to the old Jason being unemotional. Find it a little hard to warm up to Billy Miller’s coolness to the news, but then again, he is playing Jason. I do look forward to his memory coming back and him taking a stand like he used to.

“…I don’t know… this is when I really would have liked Josslyn … the younger one… with the return of Jax… ie: Ingo Rademacher…. ”

sorry

this is when Laura Wright WAS FUN
when I welcomed her beaming heartfelt sincere aliveness

once Jax was fired… so went this Carly

you made me LOL

“…but the fans of each couple are too much for me so I will pass ”

there are far more fans of Sam and Jason

so here I am

running to the finish

My Liz and her heart

yes the fan wars are gross. Like you’re not allowed to have or express an opinion of a fave

“…I believe LW plays Carly too confidently ”

thank you… geez! I seriously, went to youtube to look at scenes to justify my posts… that Sarah Joy Brown and Tramara Brown ARE Carly

and LW’ is lauded for her , i mean really, backbone, in your face, so confident… you never see her feeling any thing other than…

not so much judging other characters in and around her.. but … FEELing
contrite, hurt, blameless… so loud… it doesnt matter… or I care

so now.. it’s this push and pull.. give and take… between Carly and Sonny

seriously? this is what’s served?

with her dull sons thrown in for good measure?

GH? ! ? !

Ric Lansing is your answer

let’s get in a no holds bar tug of war

sexually charged twosome

a re-energized re-emergence

if they are going to feature so much Laura Wright
if they are going to feature so much Kelly Monaco

yikes!

*Tramara Brown
= Tamara Braun

@Patrick I just can’t handle anymore the nastiness I hated that they wrote Liz as lying all these months and really Jason and Sam are more suited but RH got a story now she will be the town pirraha but hey if she killed somebody she would be loved. Go Figure. I do hate that the character of Ric Lansing has been wasted he is so above most of these actors on this show he is just great and the Clark Kent look just is mesmerizing .

Laura Wright is playing Carly as a grown ass confident woman. Carly came to town as a selfish child, whining and wanting to exact revenge on. Bobbi for putting her up for adoption. She still schemes, and is a complete bitch. And I love it! The character’s — the legacy character’s evolution is expertly played by LW!!

@K/Kay

I’m with you 100%…

when Rick Hearst… Ric Lansing… came out of the elevator and bumped in to LIz

LOL

woah… yikes

he’s staggering in those Clark kent glasses ( I was with you, totally agree! )

hot! afire aplenty aplomb

all the ladies plus were posting where are the hot men; just keeping up with the posts

and here ( LOL ) trots in Ric Lansing

it was hysterical!

To Wil…

One of the few times that I believe LW portrayed Carly to the core of the character was when she overheard Brenda and Robin talking about her while they were all in Jason’s penthouse. At that specific moment, LW’s Carly conveyed that vulnerability that was always core to the character (and I felt sorry for Carly at that point). If you want to check out the scene, you can tube it – the title is 2-4-11, Carly, Brenda, and Robin

I think Carly is written very inconsistently for the most part. Her marrying Sonny 6 times is proof of that. She was Liz’s best friend for a minute during the Hayden exposure–and now treats her terribly. I just hate the way she hasn’t grown at all.

I’ve watched GH on and off over the years so I can’t really attest to the old Carlys. BUT I think LW is great–but making her Sonny’s enabler grates on my last nerve. And I HATE the way Carly treats Jason.

Carly was best with Jax–he brought out the best in her–I’ve never understood why they destroyed that relationship and got rid of Ingo. He was damn sexy

Because Carly always HAS to be right, even when she’s so obviously wrong

Hi, Wil.
I wish, but it’s too simple.
Loving the music at the end of this episode, yes? Choppy, stilted haunting and melancholy….so a’ propos.
Now, who is the mystery person with whom Hayden is in cahoots? Paul? Dillon? Helena? I really can’t think of a specific reason Helena has …..there are so many. But Paul and Dillon? Hmmmm. Does Jason stand between Paul or Dillon and ELQ?.
Is Dillon another demon in disguise? That really would be a plot twist.

i actually thought i was dieing,,,i was eating while watching the show…i started choking and had to crawl to the bathroom where i threw up nonstop for 20 minutes and nearly blacked out…this happpened when Carly was talking to Jake, and i believed i was at deaths door it was that bad …i considered going to hospital but i couldnt get to a phone to dial 911…laid on bathroom floor…manage to get to living room couch…i gradually recovered and feeling better after falling asleep…was able to rewatch that episode later that i really believed i would never see…i now have to see my doctor…had similiar choking spells before but not as frightening…as for GH…it has its moments but it just isnt as good as it used to me…im still giving the new writers a chance to see if they are able to improve things!

I had a bottle of water with me and kept choking…i dont mean to sound gross but maybe you can ask your husband this…when i got to the bathroom i vomited and much of it came out in an endless string which never happened before when i had choking spells,,it was like i was being strangled and there seemed to be no end and i nearly blacked out… maybe he knows why it came out that way…i had to force myself to stop and break the string…thought i was on deaths door…very scary…i recovered and suppose to see my doc soon for that and other problems im having but it would be nice to get a second opinion! Thanks!

@jimh(leave it to beaver)
Hi, Jimmy. Glad you’re feeling better. It is not a good idea to drink while vomiting. But, while you’re eating, just take a sip every so often.
My husband cannot give a specific diagnosis, Jimmy….not without seeing you. It’s not ethical. However, your best bet would be to go to a Gastroentorologist (GI). I am sure that your primary doctor will recommend one. And, if he does not, ask to be referred to one.
You will be fine. Try to get some rest, my friend. Good night.

Thanks CeeCee…i kind of knew you would recommend a Gastroentorologist….seen one for my continued problem with acid reflux my PCP believes is the culprit…back to soaps…havent seen any posts lately from Shay and Jaybird…hope all is fine with them. Later!

Thanks…ill discuss that with my doc…i kind of thought of barrets but forgot the name…hope Shay announces her book here…hope its not about a nerdy nurse babysitter who has a Cinderella moment only to be run out of town and disappears forever!…lol

Thanks…it was my most scary moment!

Hope it never happens like that again…it was my most scariest moment since i found out that my relatives were really my relatives…lol

Oh, CeeCeeGirl! If you only knew how mightily I have tried to reply to your many excellent posts over these last few weeks! It’s pretty much been no dice since Halloween no matter how many times I repeat the process! I did have a few days offline for some troubleshooting, but even once I returned, there was simply no way that I could get a response to you to stick….it’s one thing to not allow them to be available for public consumption, but I always make a concerted point to directly post to you so that you should at least be able to personally receive my comments….I cannot understand the harm in that! (Is it TOO much asking for that small courtesy????…Rhetorical question—-apparently so!) Having said that, nope, no novel yet….it’s still swirling about in my imagination, but perhaps the time would be better spent working on that project than nearly being universally rejected here….it’s wearing quite thin, you know???? At any rate, so much to say and catch up on…soon I hope, mia amica! Just wanted to touch base with you this morning…..with some luck you’ll receive this message. Later, bella!

You made my day…i love your posts and i missed them…makes me feel so much better…someone told me i should’ve had my diary-which talks about my growing up in the 60s and my school years-published in a magazine somewhere…so many good memories there but the bad ones are there too…some are shocking-i had some horrible things happen to me…the person who suggested having it published said it might be helpful to others who might have had the same experiences …but i don’t know..not sure what mag would want it or even if they would print…i am also not sure if i’d want my whole life in print for all the world to see but i would do it if i knew it could be helpful to others!…keep us posted on your progress with that book! …later friend!

Im going to do a rewrite with different names but first i need to take care of my health…more medical issues unrelated to the choking incident…thanks for the suggestions…Best wishes to you too!

Well, Jimmy. I find it quite pathetic how having babies, on all soaps, is used as a crutch….if everything else fails? Hey, have a baby!!……even those characters who are well past their childbearing years have babies. Soon Jill and Colin will have a baby just to hear the putter-patter of little feet in the Chancellor Manor.LOL.

Pitter-patter

Oh, Fanny; sweet lady! I am humbled by your praise.
Yes, I do believe that although Jake wanted to know who he was, the truth came fast and furious, fear hitting him in the face with a cold, invisible hand. As you say, it was difficult to accept the truth because the truth could prove worse than the unknown. Perhaps, subconsciously he didn’t want to know. He was satisfied with what he had with Liz and the boys, if not, necessarily happy.
You are so right about Carly. Her love and loyalty are a force with which to be reckoned. And, to parrot your words, having Jason live as Jake Doe past this point, sat heavily on her heart. There is more than meets the eye here, which I must confess , has been an eye-opener for me.
It is, thus, a very illuminating fact about Carly’s character which makes me rethink my opinion of her. I suppose she’s a better friend than she is a mother? ‘Nite, Fanny.

Ahh, shucks, Timmm. You must have known I was joshing with you! Not for one minute would I ever think of you saying anything negative to me or about me.
But, as far as some other posters, you very well are aware, how sanctimonious some can be. There would be no point having these sites if we could not express our thoughts. So, it goes against the grain for me when someone says, ‘take a nap; change the channel or don’t watch’.
I get very bored when people come on enumerating ratings and statistics. Most of us do not care. But, at times, I get the sense that posters want to impress….but, I consider this so vapid and futile. I do not care. I watch for entertainment.
As you so well point out; we do agree and disagree…but, we do it politely, you and I; and, most of the posters. But, when someone tells another poster to switch channels because his/her opinion does not agree with hers/his, well, I say, this person has control issues. No one tells me what to do. That’s one of the reasons there is harmony in my home. We respect each other our freedoms. I was reared that way….everyone argues, Timmm, but never using name-calling or giving orders.
So, my love, do not think I meant you. You know better than that, Timmmbo.
If I did not love my soaps, I would not be on these sites. As such, I should have the freedom to express both the positives and the negatives of said soaps. Besides Shay, you and I are basically the only fans who love the banter….no holding back…well, within the realm of decency, that is. LOL.
Something else which really bothers me is the treatment su0000 is given by some. She is ridiculed, kicked and slammed. One starts, and a hundred follow, per se. These people act like schoolyard children at recess. And, Su, the lady that she is, always answers with respectful control. In her place, I would have given such a tongue-lashing……to the moon and back, Alice.HaHa. ……luv-ya, Timmm. Friends always.

@CeeCee Sweets… With Jason back in Carly’s ORBIT, she’s bound to
keep an eagle eye on him & those circling close by including and mainly
Elizabeth given their history. I’m sure you noticed Carly intently watching,
observing, Elizabeth’s reaction … At one point squinting almost suspecting
something was odd in her behavior she will be found OUT, Tick..Tock…
Very touching moment between Sam & Carly. Poor Patrick… Up until now
these three women have been relatively tame towards one another, given
two of them didn’t know who Jake really was….. But now think of them as
three little kitty cats, Jake being the big ball of yarn……….

@Fanny.
Beautifully expressed comment, my lady. So, so true about the calm before the storm circling these women. The fury of La Niña will fall upon PC in one short but precise swoop.
OOOHHH, it is certainly getting exciting, making GH worth watching, right now.
Yes, I did see Carly studying Liz’s tiny, seemingly incongruous, facial motions; obscure to everyone else but Carly’s sharp, eagle eye.

It is not definite Miller will leave. I think Jill at YR did another revenge grab! She got fired from GH and loves to power grab a star!

Hi, Melissa.
I respectfully disagree. We must keep in mind that Billy Miller stepped on the GH stage as a newbie. Many a viewer did not know him; that includes some cast members. I am sure they knew the name, but had never worked with him.
Therefore, it is my opinion that everyone, from fan to thespian, needed to know Billy first and Jake bringing up the rear; ultimately, conjoining.
So, as much as I will admit I complained about the length it took for Jason to leave Jake behind, time itself needed time to ripen. I only wish that Jake will not be completely left behind. There are only a handful of fans who want Jason Morgan back….certainly not I !!
I agree that Billy’s talent has been disrespected and not revered. Even as Jake, he could have been given more keen, effective and committed storylines, instead of being volleyed hither and yon, looking for a resting place…..a landing. Well, he became Liz’s Lapdog. I pray, he does not go from one lap to another……the proverbial; from the frying pan into the fire.
Now that Jason has ‘joined’ the world of what makes PC go ’round, I do hope he stays put.

Actually, maddie…many viewers have been singing this song (Jason remembering himself as Jason Q and not as J Morgan). Everyone has been rooting/hoping for that to happen. This is what I call suspenseful expectation. I am looking forward to see which direction Jason will go, depending how much and how far his memory will take him.

I can’t plug any more than most

is he going to be a quartermaine or a Morgan….

it is; suspenseful expectation

and one that i’m dreading… if it’s mob
and with Sam

adult drama….
adult LOL giddy treat… Quartermania

how can that be difficult

because; all posters, know: it’s easier to “writer” mob material than human element of quality drama with ; his aunt, his mother; his cousin, Liz and sons, with dear sweet Alice ?

anyway.. ’nuff said.

this is still far and away better material than Y&R

It just befuddles the ‘bejeebies’ out of me, how autocorrect can take a simple word as ‘She’ and turn it into ‘Shake’….Alack, it should read: she does not strike me…..

CeeCee, Patrick, I hope you are both right and the writers will give this story the many layers it deserves. If Jason goes back to being Sonny’s hitman, I would be disgusted. Jason is a “Q” and I hope somebody remembers that Monica needs to be told her son is alive. Michael has been told, Carly can’t wait to tell Sonny .. I hope they don’t forget Jason’s mother. And would it be too much to ask for Alan to be another of Helena’s “experiments’ and have him return? Or maybe Alan faked his death so he could become a WSB Spy. I’d take Alan any way I could get him, lol.

@maddiehayes.
Hi, maddie,
I never met Alan, but I always hear good things about this character. I suppose it would be great for the diehard fans to have him back. But, remember when AJ climbed the ‘stairway to heaven’ (lol)? Wasn’t Alan one of the souls come to take him?
Nonetheless, I do like your premise. Monica needs him right now, and so does Jason.
I anticipate the mother and son reunion. It’s shameful how Carly did not think of calling her first….what’s/who’s better than one’s mother?? Let me tell you, maddie…I called out for ‘Mommy’ during labor. Lol.

I loved Jason’s exchange with Monica. Monica basically said, when you changed I learned how to love the new Jason. When you decide who you are now, I’ll love that man too. And then in a later scene she told Liz to give Jake time and space to decide who he is. Not only was it great to see Monica interacting with Jason in such a maternal and loving way, but it also highlighted Liz’s absolute obsession with hanging on to Jason at all costs. That her love is possessive love and not selfless love. I would love it if the writers are using this as a way for Billy Miller to really make the character his own.

LOL. Agreed the piano drop was all that was missing from that sequence.

Melissa beat me to the punch

LOL moment

i’ll bite for the millionth billionth time

how is it ? that Liz is truly the bad guy in this ? because she wanted her needs met first?

that she asked Nikolas to help her in this respect?

that these two allied … aligned themselves together and wanted her happiness… ? and this made it easier for Nikolas to keep the secret of “Jason”

how do you tell someone who doesn’t know who he is ?

by Carly telling him… he will totally diss and make sure fire enemies of both Nikolas and Liz ?

hey… Laura knew

let’s lay all the cards on the table

LOL.. according to most posts… all of port charles had to have known at some time…

Billy Miller isn’t that passionate about.. or will he reel ?

Thank you @Aria for … ROFLMAO you’d think Laura Wright was Meryl Streep

YES! “thank you”

ie: look at Timmmmm… posts… after all the reveal… the ebb and flow of suspence will waft and standstill… if the writers go the mob route and a try at drama with BM and KM is at the forefront….

dont’ think so… these two can’t cut it…

ie: remember when she found “his” ring at Patrick house… and “Jason” .. as these two just stood their… ??? and Sam ( LOL ) had to muster up acting and bereaved …

looked to me… neither one of them were in the least bit interested in her

it’s all in the writings hands at this point… the big reveal.. is just that… one ep that LW handled

??? where does this take her?
more forced scenes with her bff?
a notch in her … no one cares?

any semblence of what should be… Quartermaine…

to reel what should have been
Billy Miller, Jane Elliott, Leslie Charlson, Rebecca Herbst, ( with Dylan and her sons)

She’s an Emmy winner! What do u mean her work isn’t recognized?

Why, Patrick? Read what Su wrote with an analytic eye. She is right. Laura may get recognition from the ‘ Emmy giving committee’ or whatever it’s called, but not from us, the viewers….at least, not as much as she deserves. That’s what Su means. Do you remember when we all basically wanted Maura to win, this last time? Some of us even felt Laura should not have been nominated at all. But, it seems to me everyone nitpicks every word Su writes. Golly Gee, Patrick; not you too!! Lol.

hey..
Poor Jason doesn’t even know who is, he is just a name.
Jason needs to be alone and figure out who is is.. he needs time to explore himself.
Last thing Jason needs is a woman, he needs to find himself, get an identity, a life, before hooking up with anyone..
FREE Jason!!

@su.
Hi, susu.
There you are! I agree, my friend. I wrote the same thing. No play-play for Jason…..he needs solitude; a retreat where his brain can rest for a time. However, I would think that’s easier said than done. How could he not be tortured and tormented about his life or lack thereof? He needs his mommy. We all need our mommy now and again. And, Jason has not had the warm, welcoming bosom of his mommy in a long time.
Imagine when he finds out what Liz did. As much as I detest the idea, he will be destroyed. Bye, Su.

Hey CeeCee,
I think Billy Miller looks too young for Laura Wright for them to be a couple.
For me, the real drama of this story would be for Jason to really reflect (he seems to be doing this) on the life he lead–the life of crime & murder and be disgusted by it.

This is all a little new to me. I disliked SB as an actor so never wanted a Liz/Jason match up. I hated the holy quadrangle, the 4 characters who were thugs and thug enablers. I never understood the Liz/Jason fans.

But Billy Miller’s Jason changed my view. I was a big Liz/Nic fan and now I really hope Jason ends up with Liz (of course being a soap no one ends up with anyone until they’re old like Edward & Lila).

Mostly I love Liz and want her to be happy. So however that happens, that will make me happy.

@Lucy D.
Hi, Lucy.
Yes, I can see that Billy is a bit too young for Carly; but, aside from that, they are just not a good match. I guess my sarcasm was lost. LOL.
I do agree, and I have said so along with Su, that Jason should just lay low for the time-being.
I am glad Billy changed your view. I have adored him since his AMC days, as the character Richie. I was still in College, and I remember rushing to the dorm after class, so not to miss episodes.
I don’t know what will happen with Liz, Lucy. But, as I have said, viewers want retribution. There are many of us who are very disappointed in Liz. She was my favorite character; she needs to face her demons, though. I really think something went awry in her head. She needs help. That is her only redemption, in order to gain the respect and love from the audience. Later.
