Um, that was suppose to be, despite Nathan “fibbing” to the judge, not “fabbing”.

GH is a crazy soap…for all we know Nathan or even Judge Walters could be Levi in a mask!!!

Laurie…Kelly leaving had nothing to do with Tyler on or off the canvas. She has said several times that she had only intended to do the soap for a limited amount of time because she wants to do prime time and film. She’s currently auditioning (it’s pilot season) and indicated something might be in the works…

As for Maxi and Nathan, I agree. Very maddening/frustrating. It seems to me the judge is acting out because Nathan lied to him (the judge) to protect Maxi. So while ordinarily Nathan would be the upstanding guy…and I adore him…the judge sees a cop who lied under oath and to his face.

I think Dr. O is going to change things…she said she’d help Nathan with the judge so she must have something over him…

Perry Mason was a criminal defense lawyer not a judge…lol

No wonder Perry Mason won all his cases!

aaaaha!
Ok– thanks.. I was not born yet.. but- I was in the ballpark!
I’d bet the judges in tv during that era were saints of justice!

Seems to me there would be bevy of law suits against a Judge who would do such an outlandish thing. LOL@Harry!

Yes su0000, there is a few crooked judges not to far from where I grew up, and where I went to college, but I won’t name names. However, in this case, I suspect the one behind this judge’s decisions is an alive and mad LEVI. He’s the only 1 that knew Nathan lied about why Maxie didn’t show up to her 1st hearing. He’s the only 1 that could’ve “tipped” him off as he said. Plus, Maxie and Nathan stabbed him in the back, literally. In true GH style, they never showed that he actually died. They just showed Maxie and Nathan smooching over his “dead” body if I’m remembering right. Nobody stays dead on this show, except the good people like Emily. Anyway, I’m sticking with Levi.

Right CeeCee, you would never see an attorney flip flop sides and how the hell is Maxie paying her legal fees?Stupid story. I think Alexis was wearing one of Scotty’s tight fitting suits! Yeah, there is a time and place for boobage and I always think its best in the bedroom! Call me old fashion. Your right as much as Natasha despises Helena she should look to her for fashion sense.

I do think Nick should grow up and be more of a man and control his son, find the right women and be more assertive but I pray he is not under granny’s spell. Billy Miller is doing so well reinventing Jason but I hate that he doesnt get to remember who he is and not be involved in a major mix up with Helena. Maybe the big picture will look brighter. Right now though I hate him not having his memory and his mind being messed with!

@jimh….what a brilliant post, Jimh. Cancer is a reality, depressing, yes,….but a reality nonetheless. I am sure all of us have/had someone in the family devoured by this cold-hearted disease….I applaud you for commenting and bringing attention to it. My cousin died of cancer this past March, ….only 34.
Thus, I am appreciating Michael Baldwin’s storyline…Y&R is doing a great job bringing this disease to the fore….and, it affects every single family member and/or friends.

I will take this limited opportunity to wish you, jimh and everyone on this site, particularly, Shay, Timmm, Jaybird, Harry and Su ( not necessarily in that order…LOL), a happy holiday season….enjoy your loved ones and thank God for what we have. May the new year bring you good health and peace….safe driving, y’all…..later, friends.

Oh, how remiss of me…..I seem to have slighted Michael Fairman, the one person who makes this exchanging of ideas, thoughts, and comments possible. …….Season’s Greetings, to you Michael and your family and staff. May this site go on forever…..I love GH !!!!!

Right back at you, Cee Cee and everyone else too.
What drives me nuts ( a short drive for me) is Maxie’s vocal fry.

What lovely sentiments, CeeCee! Thank you, and right back at ya, girlfriend!!! Hope you and yours, especially that little man, “Nico” enjoy this festive and blessed season to the utmost. The same goes for (our recently returned) jimh, Patrick, Harry, Timmm, k/kay, rebecca1, Jules, Johnny (wherever you are…) and what the heck, even you, su! Of course, we cannot forget Mr. Fairman, who has the patience of a saint (Nick?) with all of us, be we naughty or nice! You have created a very special place for this meeting of most diverse minds, and I thank you for allowing me to be a continuing part of it. It truly has become a real “circle of friends!” Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Best Wishes for the New Year to all!!!!!

Oh, amen to your fashion critique, CeeCee!!!! As any regular visitor here already knows, along with Harry, I have often taken Alexis to task for her insatiable, ongoing obsession to display her appallingly average cleavage….in addition to being less than professional and appropriate, it has become a laughable cliche’—not only due to her job in the law field, but simply because it is just not attractive for a woman of her um, “maturity,” to constantly be strutting around town like a trussed-up teenage tart. (Had to love Olivia’s catty slams at her during the brunch brouhaha the other day….I so wished that she had made a direct reference to the “décolletage(d) dish” Ms. Davis seemed to be serving up on an eye-popping platter to Ned! Then again, I suppose it would have been the pot calling the kettle black, since the Bensonhurst Babe often provides her own peepshow…albeit it a much prettier and perkier one!!!! LOL….) But I digress….The only time in recent history I can recall Alexis actually putting them away for a day was about a month ago…she was in a hospital scene with Julian and was wearing the most beautiful, tasteful, and yes, modest, burgundy sweater….unbelievably enough, it reached all the way up to her neck!!!! (Yes, I almost fell off my chair!) But you know what? It looked really, really lovely….flattering not only in silhouette, but color, as well! I wanted to comment then and give the wardrobe people a thumbs up, but there never seemed to be the right moment to bring it up, so a belated kudos to whomever managed to conceal that crack, even if it were only a very short-lived triumph!!!!

You and I have totally different ideas of what makes good camp/storytelling.

Did Star Trek have campy elements yes, but Star Trek was about something and at times made you think.,.”City on the Edge of Tomorrow” comes to mind, that tradition continues with Dr. Who.

Superheroes depends on who is handling it, Burton’s Batman total camp, Nolan, not so much.

I watch Y&R more than GH because there are characters I can relate to for me and obviously many others that is huge. There is nothing wrong with watching a show and having a good cry. 🙂

I miss it when soaps tackled social issues when done well it can have a long lasting impact on the viewer.

GH is empty calories a year from now no one will remember the brainwashing mess. 🙂

Y&R stuff is depressing at times and so is GH…we seen a car run off the road and Sabrina loose her baby, Connie shot and left to bleed to death, countless other shootings and stabbings, and Ava forced into labor by crazy Nina and baby stolen from her…a lot of this is depressing too…cancer storyline is informative…it gets male viewers aware to have early yearly checkups…yes, its gloomy but if it makes the viewer more aware and they get checked in time and it saves a life, thats great storytelling…su i like you…im glad you watch gh…i often find it entertaining but sometimes there is too much camp and thats why the show remains in 3rd place…Dark Shadows was popular but it got too campy and was never a top ten show and shortlived…i loved it…but others stopped watching because of too much campiness…in its last few months on the air DS was less campy and more character driven and the ratings started to climb up…i dont mind some camp on GH but there is room for more real drama and believable plots too…Happy Holidays su!!!

It’s not real life?
Well, of course it is! You take that back, Sue!
Jim, lovely and poignant post.

CeeCee had to reply here…my nephew and aunt died less than a year apart from cancer…around the same time my late uncle was diagnosed with prostate cancer and so was my father who is still alive at 87 and surviving because of early detection…also several of my sisters ex inlaws fell to cancer so we’ve dealt hard with it..,thats why i like a dose of reality in our shows that are informative and helpful…back in the 60s GL did a pap smear storyline with its shows matriarch Charita Bauer…a very controversal storyline at the time…the show recieved 100s of positive mail from women viewers who seen those episodes and had their own pap smears and it saved their lives…thats what i mean by good storytelling and why i like an occasional dose of reality thrown in…GH is a hospital and needs occasional stories like that…Happy Holidays!!!

Correct Cee Cee. What Nathan lied about under oath is not even a thing considering all the mobsters & villains that run around PC daily. He lied about throwing a letter away regarding Maxie’s hearing. He didn’t cover up a murder, or is getting paid off by a living, breathing Levi to torture Maxie like the judge is. That’s the only thing that makes sense, as it’s the only person that hates both Maxie and Levi. Unless Dr. O is behind it thinking Maxie is not good enough for Nathan. I thought her “oh well, too bad, there’s nothing I can do” after Nathan told her about the crooked judge was strange. Wouldn’t she really take the judge out?
Anyway, you are right. The judges reasoning is nonsensical. Maxie ran into Nathan, breathed the same air as Nathan in a diner so she can’t see her baby? She visited Nathan, a peace officer after he was shot in the line of duty so she’s immature and not ready to be a mother? Nonsense! While I still don’t know what Maxie has done to improve and mature, she’s done nothing to warrant this current punishment. The bar isn’t that high in custody hearings.

Why on earth wasn’t Felicia and Mac in the courtroom with her? She lives with them doesn’t she?
