My dear, dear, Patrick, You have a good heart, my friend. But, what is actually ailing Griffin!?!? He is torment by those proverbial demons, eating at his insides. It is angels whom should be chasing him, not demons. He is sooo celestial looking, afterall. LOL. but, we see his turmoil–battling a war within himself. The Is he still in love with Claudette? Is she his demon or his angel who could abate those greedy demons, hungry for Griffin’s soul? Claudette is diluvial, in my opinion. In contrast, Griffin is the typical tortured, cliched hero looking for that mystical, non-existent, unattainable… Read more »

I agree. And once we have the children on the canvass, soaps often do not know what to do with them! GH has overused the “who’s your daddy?” and baby-switching tropes. I would love something new (and I do not mean more characters that have little relevance).

Oh, I sooo agree with you, SuzieQ.
But, look at that little face?!?! She’s too beautifully sweet!! And, Scarlett/Charlotte has an uncanny resemblance to Bree.
Yes, baby-daddy ‘mystery’ is sooo old, used and abused that we sort of flick it off, and move on.
As jaybird loves to say, on these boards, “NEXT”. LOL.

Cute, Charday? Ahhh, my friend….he is BEAUTIFUL !!!!! LOL.
Yes, I agree, Bree plays the perfect ‘bad-girl’. We ‘gotta’ be amused by her transparent machinations, if nothing else. Love your comment.

Would be karma for Maxie, losing Charlotte to Lulu like the Connie/Georgie storyline lol

Oh, my gosh!!!! Oh, Jimmy. I can’t take it. I am having, real, honest-to-goodness belly laughs here. HaHaHaHaHa!!!!
I would like to be a fly living in your brain.
One thing, as I have already said when Claudette introduced Valentin’s name, Charlotte is his—-glad you agree. But, there’s always the chance we are wrong. ….never know which direction stories go. These writers never follow the standard. Themes are changed at the eleventh hour, where stories make no sense.
Example? Paul, as the hospital killer. That was a grasping-at-straws story, as I’ve ever seen.

Funny and sad but true.

Bravo, sir, bravo

Jimh…You have quite an imagination. But I really wouldn’t want to see another “bad seed” kinda child like Stitch’s boy on Y&R and the original actor who played Liz and Jake/Jason’s boy. On the other hand, never and not into Claudette storyline at all. And to think Burgi who could have been a GH flawed, leading man instead of a serial killer at the last minute, is gone to make room for newer cast like Claudette and Charlotte.

Hey, Jimmy,
Do you think there’s a possibility for an Anirbas showing up? I hope not……up to the rafters with twins—good twin, evil twin, dead twin etc.
Ironically enough, my own twin and I ( while in boarding school) would use pig-latin to communicate. We had our own little language going which only we two understood. Sometimes we still do it just to drive everyone in the family crazy. LOL.

Fabulous concepts there, jimh….but please NO Anirbas!!!!! I mean PLEEZE…it took four long, grueling years to get to the point of Sabs departure…can we just not enjoy it???? As for Charlotte, would she also not make a perfect “Lante” offspring ala that pesky travelling embryo???? I know her age is not exactly quite right to be so, but…hey, it wouldn’t be the first time GH has fudged a baby’s chronology for the purpose of a storyline.

Oh, no, jimh!!!! That is so NOT what GH needs! I’ve never been one for petition-backed campaigns….I’ve only ever “signed” one online, and that was for the return of Michael Easton to GH because I felt he was dealt with quite unfairly, and since I had been very vocal here about that, I felt it was only right to support him in that effort. However, I was quickly punished for my good deed….my inbox rapidly became laden with further “requests” from the crazy cat fan contingent imploring me to “save” their pet of choice. Despite directing their emails to my… Read more »

Ten? Wow! I didn’t realize Charlotte was supposed to have been 10, SZima. You are so right!! At this age, children need to be exactly the age they represent. The idea does not present a problem when talking about teens 14 to 18 ( and, that’s even a stretch)—-or 20 to 30, due to make-up, per se.
But, Scarlett looks her age: 7.

She will be 23 next year and dating Michael!

Interesting enough I saw the actor in a light romantic TV movie…so funny to see him play a good guy, daddy, widowed fireman/restaurant owner/romantic interest. At first I couldn’t get past Valentin…and then…I saw all of the above. Acting…gotta love it. 🙂

Yeah James, Helena said he was the worst of the bunch BUT Sonny handled him like a sack of coffee! No problem.

Soaphound…EXACTLY!!!!! I don’t see (or care about) the point where Claudette’s so-called daughter is concerned. And, besides, Claudette is ANNOYING ENOUGH ALREADY!!!!! As far as I’m concerned, bringing Claudette’s ‘daughter’ on to the show serves NO PURPOSE!!!!! AT ALL!!!!!

Have a good one, Soaphound.

Sing it, Soaphound.
The little girl is darling, however, I have no interest in Claudette, the paternity story line and another attempt at making a square peg character fit into the holes.

Too funny, Soaphound.

Thank you. Like they say “speak the truth and shame the devil”. Claudette is irrelevant to the GH storytelling canvas. They could get rid of her character tomorrow and no one would miss her so why do they think we care about her child? This is the kind of nonsense that is destroying the soap industry, focusing on characters that no one cares about. I applaud CBS for listening to their viewers and getting rid of characters that viewers don’t like ( Sage, Dylan, etc). No wonder CBS daytime is number one. GH will never be number if they continue… Read more »

I guess even on a soap, the guys is too hot to leave so you deal with the bullshit! Sad.

We do not know if Nathan is Valentin’s son, Mary. This idea was thrown in there by Shay and me when Dr. O expressed the fact that Nathan was her son and not MadMaddie’s. I did not know the history, so I wondered who fould posdibly be more evil than Victor? Everyone was under the impression that Victor was the father….. But, Dr. O said that Nathan’s father was worse than all Cassadines combined ( I am paraphrasing) and had , thus, ‘given’ James (Nathan) to her sister to rear for his protection. I remember Shay having said that it… Read more »

PS. I love the mad scientists myself, Mary. I would gladly trade Faison’s bantering with Liesl, any day. And, yes, Aria’s idea that Claudette was the surrogate is brilliant, in my opinion. So, it would not be so far-fetched for Jakey to be enmeshed in this entire travesty. Great post, Mary. As I said on the Y&R site ( Steve Burton), there will be another Morgan emerging from the car explosion, after spending months in hospital. This new Morgan will miraculously be free of his bipolar disorder …….another distorted storyline on the horizon, where a Cassadine has a ‘hand’ stuck… Read more »

Lol!

LOL, Jay.

Carly and Sonny are the Nikki and Victor Newman of GH…of course they will divorce and get married for the 1000th time-lol

it took Bryan Craig… leaving the show… to shake this “whole” show up this could be a very easy let… for Laura Wright and Maurice Benard because you can’t unspin the truth…. GH sole focus of the Corinthos’ FAILED epically so when Sonny and Carly found out Morgan was expelled… and he stormed out… after the billionth time telling his parents he’s the way he is… and it’s never going to change Carly is telling Sonny… ” I thought we were past this ” “he’s my baby” I actually teared up… ME over a Laura Wright performance angst at how… Read more »

I like your thoughts…

“…For the first time in two and one half years, I see the allure and star that is, Maurice Benard.
Sonny will ‘die’ from his guilt-ridden feelings.
Will this be the end of Carly and Sonny? ”

I read some of the ABC soap digest today.. and it pretty much seemed to sum up “our” thoughts … frustrations… provocations… LOL…. dire needs

I especially was keyed in to… will they or won’t they…. ( carly and sonny ) survive this

earnestly… I think all this is just too much for Maurice Benard… with all due respect

share the wealth of talent

I mean really ? Maurice Benard really took the ball and ran with it….and; THERES NO TURNING BACK….

it’s like Eric Breadon… all over again… and he’s lost

two star studded performances with zeal ego and panache ride

i’m waiting this out

yike

GH production… salvage… like Luke… Sonny lives on… just less REEL

Celia, YES! Maurice was indeed amazing and reminded some of us why we thought he was a brilliant kind of method actor in the first place. But you know who else was brilliant? Maura West. You know I have been critical of her over-the-top campy approach to acting, but today she brought it on. In fact, she out played Laura Wright’s Carly. Another actor who really pulled out all the stops? The actor who plays Dante–Dominique?-he was so damned guttural and emotionally wrenching with his performance that he brought me to tears despite my not really caring about Morgan. In… Read more »
