i miss ATWTs…

I really think he could care less if the show was cancelled…someone else needs to takeover…if the show doesnt improve and looses ratings causing cancelation i will not watch anything connected to him.

Celia you might be right, you should be a writer for Days. The show needs a good writer right now. I hope Days gets better, and stays on the air. Lol to funny Jack sure lost his pants all right. He is a wimp and better get his act together. Alison Sweeney is a wonderful actress, I hope she comes back to Days, I know it was her decision to leave but she is missed.

Celia, my dear…as far as I’m concerned, those Y&R PINHEADS have WATERED DOWN both Jack and Billy…and to the point of DROWNING THEM BOTH!!!!! BEYOND BLAH!!!!!

Later, my friend.

@jaybird.
Hey, Jay,
You know, I am so used to Jack blowing in the wind, as it were, that I can pretty much tolerate him…..regardless his stupidity….as I said he lost his pants ( could say he lost something else….but, ….LOL).
Billy? From day one, Jason T did not jive with me. Later.

The writing on Y&R has indeed gotten a lot better. Celia, I could not agree with you more about Jack. If I have to watch him grovel one more time at Phyllis’s feet apologizing for having the audacity to breath while in her presence, I am going to kick my air filter.
And what gives with Billy? Billy has always been a deeply flawed character with a big heart. He suddenly seems so cold. He doesn’t seem to care that he is betraying his brother and he doesn’t seem to give a damn about his mother.
The only person he seems to kind of like is Phyllis and he’s even rather cold and insensitive to her feelings. I don’t really see the love there.
I wonder if Jason Thompson is striving to be the anti-Patrick? Patrick wore his heart on his sleeve, was often seen crying, and acted a lot like Jack. Does anyone think Jason is making a conscious effort to go against type with his approach to Billy? Or is this the result direction he is receiving and the writing he is being afforded?

Lol Celia venting is good for the soul. Good to let it out. Agree Rafe and Hope bore me to death. Love Rafe, but he belongs with Kate Roberts. They had terrific chemistry. I hope the new Abby can act, she debuts in November. Poor Maggie please let her walk again. Probably will walk again by Christmas, you know how Days drags there storylines.

@Harry.
Great way of describing Billy, Harry.
Jason is not working, as Billy. Not even the original Billy ( David Tom) could play Billy as Billy M.
It is what it is.
Naughty Billy, as portrayed by BM was realistic…..we forgave him. I don’t know why, but I did; as I think many did, too. The present Billy obfuscates the character…..too nebulous, without definition. His composure, his looks, his gestures, his comportment speak of nothing.
There is no ‘bad boy’ characteristic ( so effortlessly displayed by BM) that Jason’s Billy offers that draws me in. But, I do know the chances of BM coming back are not too favorable But, as someone said (was it Timmm?), Michael Roark would have been perfect.
I hope Jack discovers the truth and kicks both to the curb, albeit he and Jill betrayed John, just as Jack hurt Patty. By the by, speaking of Jill….I really enjoyed her little skit with Colin at the hospital. LOL.
I did say that this is not love on either part. Phyllis felt lost….she saw Marco in Jack. Her brain reeled….and to a certain extend, the thrill of secrecy of doing something so underhanded, heightened the sexual pleasure….I get it. I wouldn’t do it, but I get it. I am very strong willed, my dear Harry. LOL.
Billy? Well, he is just a baby with a sweet lollipop, who will WAIL once taken away. BRAT!!

Harry…I really doubt that ANY actotr on any show, or film, has the liberty to interpret a character the way he/she wants to the extent that they play them angrier, colder, sillier, more emotional, etc than the writer (s) intended. Jason can’t just play Billy cold to distant himself from Patrick, but can take a role that’s different to show his versatility. I think whenever these characters seem “out of character” it’s because they’re just written differently. Of course each actor has his/ her own style but can’t deviate too much from who the character is written to be….

Celia…as always, you are SO RIGHT ON!!!!! I am so damn tired of watching poor Maggie being stuck in that wheelchair!!!!! To me, it’s like ‘GET OUT OF THAT WHEELCHAIR AND WALK ALREADY’!!!!! BEYOND DUMB!!!!!

Later, friend.

@jaybird369.
Hey, jay,
Right? Poor Maggie wasting away in that wheelchair. It seems, though, that she’s on her way to using her legs again. She stood up today.
Later, jayjay.

Im surprised Sam wasn’t married in Morticia’s Addams black dress…or su’s-lol

I miss talking to you, as well my little online sister! Freedom Tower, have to go there, for sure. I saw a special on Flight 93 and even FIFTEEN years later they interviewed one of the fireman who responded to that tragedy and STILL was brought to tears recounting that dreadful day!

Yes, switching gears to soaps, Jack NEEDS to show his manhood, so to speak and disown Billy. UNFORGETTABLE, hands down! Billy would be dead to me if he were my brother!

Sam looked old to me. She looked tired.

I do agree on black. NEVER a bad choice with a splash of ANY color!

Franco is a creep. I wouldnt let him 100 yards near my son!

I cannot wait for Liz to know she has an evil sister and her daddy comes to town!

God bless you and the USA Cee!

Thanks GH1980. Yeah, you are right, there are not many weddings, especially on GH where it doesnt end in gun fire! I love your cliches, all spot on!

@GH

respectfully.. must

the reason thee wedding was without resonance… as I’ve always posted… everything about the Corinthos’ pie… entourage… with the kingpin… is dullard

I thought it was that much blah… because of ALL the cheers going on.. between Sam / Jason / Carly / Sonny / Spinelli… who does not add much any more on the comedic

The Corinthos’ bunch of malaise

Sonny / Carly / Jason / Sam / Michael / Spinelli / Alexis / Molly / Kristina and those adorable brats Jake and Daniel… okey dokey

argh ! right ? since Sonny and Carly shout from the mountain tops how much they love their kids… and whatnot

time for GH to cut their losses

the Sonny and Carly hour of power equals dullard

Cee Cee, I visited a childrens hospital when I was a youth with the church. I NEVER forgot the sadness and desperation in some of those patients eyes. We are all so lucky.

My god how horrific it had to be to be out of touch with your parents on 911. Glad they survived. I watched a special on Sunday where it was reported that Cantor Fitzgerald lost 658 of its 960 New York employees in the World Trade Center attacks. Its unfathomable and sad!

Soaps:

Jason needs to be with someone totally new and exciting. I like Sam BUT those two are monotone. Jason needs his stick pulled out of the mud!

I love Liz and Hayden and they both have questionable pasts and presents! What I would do is have the third sister Sarah come home to PC and position her self right smack dab in the middle and watch the fireworks fly!

Bye “Sis!”

Liz is no angel. On another site, IF you even think about criticizing her for ANYTHING, your ass is theirs! Why wouldnt she hold onto those diamonds until Nick resurfaces? I guess because she thinks he is dead? Its silly. I was never a big Liz fan. Carly gets a lot of heat but sweet little Lizzy isnt so sweet! She did look awesome in a hospital bed for falling down the stairs. By love!

Dearest CeeCee….You have the most beautiful knack for putting things in the proper perspective….I thought of you on 9/11 and wondered if I happened to see you without knowing it whilst watching the memorial services at the former Ground Zero….but I digress. I’ve not been watching GH on a regular basis in an age….too busy and not at all motivated due to the utter mess it has become—save for an occasional peek with certain characters—but I always check in here to read what my favorites like Timmmm, Harry, jimh, k/kay, etc. and, of course, you, have to say, and none of you disappoint! Having said that, just a takeaway thought or two on my limited recent glimpses into Port Charles….despite my own overriding penchant for black garb, I must agree that Sam looked enchanting in her bridal white… both she and Jason were a vision of matrimonial perfection , although the “Casual Friday” aspect of the wedding appalled me. (As did the drunken state of the “Mother of Bride”—from “nympho” to “alcho” in one fell swoop!– but we’ll save that most substantial discussion for another day….LOL!) I’m taking a wait and see attitude as to whether GH can lure me back for more regular viewing again….I’ve noted a few positive developments in the past couple of days….needless to say, I’m utterly delighted with the long-awaited departure of Sabs and I honestly won’t miss Tyler’s Prince Nik…he’s run his course with the show….time for some new regal Cassadine blood to inhabit Wyndemere….perhaps a return for the darkly handsome Mr. Stabile???? And with the Divine Devane’s reemergence, autumn looks to be a fine time in Port Charles….more Scorpio, too, please, and not simply to be involved in further chumming with St. Sonny in a kaffe klatch….please! Anyway, it’s been a long and far toooooo hot summer full of uber binge-watching UK shows for me, so I’m welcoming the approach of fall’s chill with bated breath and hopefully a new appreciation for what GH has to bring…perhaps a “resurrected” Helena, along with a much-rumored Luke sighting???? (Oh, speaking of foreign tv, I saw your fave Archie Panjabi on “The Fall” with Gillian Anderson…superb program, by the way….her Stella Gibson is a strong, sexy policewoman with a killer British accent that surpasses Dana Scully in every possible manner, most especially since she is sans that goofball Mulder….have you watched that show? It’s a winner, and Season Three is about to commence.) Also, getting into ITV’s “Victoria”….it’s well-done and visually impressive, although I don’t know that it will have the same impact as “Downton Abbey,” but then again, what will? Poldark and Indian Summers have also tried and failed at that feat regardless of their sumptuous production values, appealing stories and riveting actors….oh well, lightning rarely strikes twice! Anyway, must go, didn’t mean to ramble, but just wanted to touch base with a fellow “deplorable”…hah! It always feels good to reach out to my online GH buds! Later, mia amica!!!!

@Shay. Oh, my sweet, sweet, Shaybelle, It is so good to hear from you. I did not know what to think? I assumed you went on a ‘world excursion’. LOL. We did not go abroad ( except for Canada) this year. I don’t want to put my kids at risk, albeit terror does exist in our own backyards. We did catch a couple of weeks on the Vineyard…..I do not like going when the White House is there. This is a close kept secret, LOL….. Rarely does one find a Vineyarder whose ‘welcoming’. The place becomes a madhouse. My mother always says that the only time she did not mind the chaos was upon Princess Diana’s visit. And, my grandmother appreciated Jackie O. There is still a house with acres and acres of property, now owned by Caroline and family, I would think. Okay….more positive stuff. I am truly liking where GH is trying to go…..not so much with Sabrina. I know, I know , we have never agreed on that subject. I, earnestly, hope she will survive. 9/11 was a personal, national and international nightmare which will stay with me until the day I die. My twin, Elle, and I thought we had lost our entire family. The world collapsed, in more ways than one. We could not get through to anyone….neighbors, other offices….nothing. Believe it or not….I am really appreciating Nancy Grahn. She is extremely good at what she does….acting!!!!!Who would have ‘thunk’????? Alexis is crushed. I feel soooo badly for her, albeit she knew upon what maelstrom ‘of a pickle’ she was embarking. I suppose love is blind at any age. she is also dressing more tastefully. All in all, I am hooked, Shay….love her. I love her without Julian. And, I do hope he goes away forevermore. But, it would not surprise me one bit if TPTB pull a fast one on us and he goes free. Another scary thought is if somehow Alexis will take him back. What are the chances?? I agree, Shay….I will not lose sleep if Tyler does not return. As you know, I love Nick Stabile; but, at this juncture, considering Ava’s nastiness, I do not want her influence to rub off on him. Then, again, their love of each other, and not of ‘all things evil’ will turn their screwed-up heads around. I have been litanizing the praises of Victor Alfieri as Valentin….Jeff Webber even, albeit Walt Willey is my top choice for the Jeff role. I love Archie…I watched a couple of eps. Unfortunately she will not return for the third run. Funny thing, Shay, I record everything. Getting to watch? Well, that’s a different story….especially during summer months. It seems that with all the siblings I have, the kids all end up at Auntie CeeCee’s. LOL. I do miss POLDARK, though!!!!! I try to catch up when I go to bed. Now that school is back on, although I have help, getting my son to bed at 8… Read more »

Hey there, CeeCeeGirl!!!! Thanks for missing me….I’ve missed you, too! It was just a very weird summer…much too hot and humid for me, so I crawled into my AC-cooled cocoon and didn’t emerge much. I think I’m genetically-incapable of handling those weather conditions….my people came from the cooler climes of Europe…LOL. Anyway, the approach of fall always invigorates and excites me….both in terms of life and programming. I am feeling somewhat more hopeful about GH now….a real housecleaning has been in order for an age, and finally it is happening. More please! I did notice today that Alexis was a bit more covered up in the courtroom….good first step in her wardrobe rehab, but for a successful lawyer, she should at least don a few investment pieces that look really impeccable and pricey…Unlike you, I’m still not hooked on her personal saga….she’s such an unholy mess! I don’t like women who lose it, unless it’s meant for comic relief….exemplified by Heather! Having said that, I would certainly hope that a Julian sex-filled redux is not in the cards for this too often desperate-for-male-companionship character….but then again, who knows??? It’s either going to be back to Jules Baby or a mental breakdown, perhaps fueled by alcohol???? None of those choices sings to me. As for Archie P.? I find her mix of the exotic with British sensibilities an appealing one…I never watched her on the “Good Wife,” so my first exposure to her was on the creepy mini-series, “The Widower,” followed by the second season of “Shetland,” and finally, on “The Fall.” Do you know if she is due for a return to that Scottish mystery show? I really enjoyed the last installment….great drama, breathtaking scenery! In terms of 9/11, although I was not personally acquainted with anyone who suffered a loss on that day, I did later discover that a college friend’s husband who frequently commuted from Pittsburgh to NYC for business was in the air on that fateful morning, and during the initial confusion of the moment, she was terrified that it was his plane that had ended up crashed in that field in Pennsylvania….he’d actually made it safely to Kennedy, but the lack of communication services kept her waiting and worrying until much later that afternoon. Horrible. I cannot imagine being in that position at any age, let alone in my teens, as you were….at least God blessed you with your twin’s presence….I’m sure that mutual comfort helped get you both through those awful hours….thankfully, your immediate family was ultimately spared the tragic circumstances that too many other were not. By the way, I completely understand why the Vineyard regulars don’t appreciate the interruptions that the POTUS visits bring….as a matter of fact, I thought of you and yours when this year’s annual trip commenced. It was quite one thing for the Kennedys—bad mannered as many of them were—to hang out on the island since they owned property there, but with both the Clintons and the current officeholder,… Read more »

@Shay.
Hey, Shay,
I have been so out of touch, except for my soaps, LOL., with shows this summer….as most summers.
I think Archie has popped in and out of Primetime shows, here and there. BLINDSPOT is one of them. Other than that, I don’t know. I am looking forward to POLDARK2, though.
LOL. I always manage to watch my soaps…..and, I am still reeling by Sabrina’s death. I know this is what you were waiting for ….lon-time-awaiting…LOL. But, I will miss her.
I do not want Alexis to go off the deep end. She’s suffered enough from her stupid mistake. I mean, coming so close to literally losing her head by Julian’s hand, her ‘loving’ husband, would do a number on any woman. She deserves a little light—sunshine, after the darkness.

Yes, Nico is a handful. He made me do a double-take this morning. A seven-year old with a sarcastic retort is hard to believe, right? Normally, when I chide him, I get an, ” ok Mommy”.
This morning he said, “Yes, Mother”. Ha!! Can’t complain, as I am repeatedly told I was the same way!!LOL. Rosie is the complete opposite.
Believe me, the Hamptons do not get as bad as the Vineyard. Except for complaints over vagrants on the beaches, at night, and THE KARDASHIANS . LOL. After the trash is collected, everything goes back to normal. Most celebrities live here year-round, unlike the above.
The Vineyard is completely isolated in Winter. The summers have become so unbearable, I don’t even enjoy going anymore. Our house is in Katama ( South Beach), not in town ( Edgartown). So, we don’r see that many people. But, it’s a nightmare going into town. The traffic is always at a standstill. We do use our bicycles a lot…LOL.
What can I say? We deplorables must stay in our baskets…..If you have a minute, read comments voiced by Robert Byrd….so enlightening.

I am glad to hear that you do read the comments, anyway, Shay. So you need not be apprised of anything. But, I agree with Soaphound when she talks about ‘house-cleaning’. I just wish it hadn’t been Sabrina.
Anna is coming back, so I hope and pray Jordan will be offed. Well, heck….one more won’t mean much to Paul. Doesn’t he have a bone to pick with her?
What do you think of Hayden and Finn?….. Oops…no need to answer, I just remembered Hayden is, also, on your list of undesirables….LOL. Love you, Shay!!

@Shay.
Oh, Shay,
Lest you, or others get the wrong impression….I was merely being sarcastic about being enlightened by Robert Byrd. His comments are lurid, brutal, bigoted and offensive.
Sometimes, we do not know what goes on behind closed doors with these politicians until someone runs for the highest office.
If we are to vilify one candidate, we must open the can of worms of the other. Keep it at an even keel.
The same could be said about our beloved soaps….politics!!!! Why do characters get killed off while others remain?
It’s one thing if one leaves by his/her own volition….completely different if said protagonist is ‘pushed’ out….politics…..politics….politics.
Ciao.

NBC will be the first network in decades to ruin a soapless afternoon..it will be interesting to see how they handle it..our not.

Run not ruin

Amen GH1980! We watch GH because WE are fans! Yes, the writing is getting really bad AND there are too many characters BUT Anna will be back soon and I hear Paul will be wiping the show soon of one of its least favorite characters!

Yes we’re watching and the writing is NOT bad. If it was…wouldn’t be watching.

Patrick….you naughty boy, you!! LOL.
Can’t say I blame you.
But, seriously? How convenient is the jail-break? So, Theresa will be swept away, not to be heard of again?
Yes, seeing Kassie was a gift.
