Yes, Timmm…how about focusing more on veteran characters. It appears that just about any character that comes down the pipe is somehow associated to Sonny and mob company….even recasts. Sure, Alexis is a vet character of sorts, but the way TPTB have pimped certain characters over the past 10-15 years, I just have lost interest. It seems to be a trend at GH to provide sainthood to characters who do not deserve it and to create villains out of characters who were actually good characters.

How about giving Liz a love interest that sticks instead of constantly using her as a plot device to pimp other characters? Jesus Christ, we still have no clue as to who her real mother is and Jeff, who was a main character tied to the beginnings of the show is made out to be a father who has no interest in keeping up with his children (BS). Laura is also used as a plot device and has no storyline of her own, no job, and no love interest. We now have Tristan Rogers back and have an opportunity to sign him to a contract, but he has had no scenes with Laura and again is used as a plot device to pimp characters associated to the mob. Monica is rarely shown with her son Jason and is AGAIN used as a plot device. Yet, someone like Julian who was a blip in the 80’s is recast and given an entire family and has become Sonny 2.0 (kids populated by different mothers).

GH is in a sad state simply because TPTB and writers over the past 15 years have tried (and failed) to put their own stamp on this once great show instead of focusing on the things that made it a great show to begin with.

Thank you, my poetic Patrick! You provide the balanced voice of reason to those comments here that would be more apropos to “CougarBeat” fanzine! How anyone gets their jollies watching these two going at it like dogs in heat is beyond me…..

Hi Patrick…the reason Akexis hasn’t had a lasting relationship was her choice for the most part. She was originally portrayed as an extremely intelligent kick ass lawyer…which she still is. With a bite. Which she still has. Funny, sarcastic, always loyal to family and friends.
But she had commitment issues. She and Ned were a great couple years ago and were supposed to get married. She couldnt go through with it. She had a pretend marriage to Jax and she was really happy…because she knew it was temporary so she didnt freak out. He was and is her best friend. She, like so many other Port Charles women…Laura, Tracy, Sam, Elizabeth, Sabrina, Diane…later gravitated to “bad boys.” But again it was she who broke up with them…Shawn I believe being before Julian. Because…he wouldnt leave the mob. She broke with Julian too as u know until he made good on his promise to really leave the business. (Should be interesting if the wedding actually happens and he gets back to the mob…)

Anyway, I think Chrystie Delancy’s post further down summed it up nicely regarding Alexis…it’s about time! And I think if you had watched her years ago you might be an Alexis fan as well! Either way…best!

Did I not tell you, Patrick, that your prose becomes poetry? Even Shay agrees. I hope you realize that!!!!! Well put; poetically and otherwise!! Kudos.

hey Timmmm & Jimh..
I guess you guys haven’t seen porn, or heard it… aha!! 🙂
Pleasurable noise is just natural when having sex, it’s not porn, it is natural…
Soap have robots programed to show a bare shoulder and a leg thrown in kiss and some see it as WHOOPIE HOT SEX … ahaa!

the least that can be done with the horrible plastic soap sex is to let us hear they are enjoying it… lol

Great way to express it, my friend, Jay. ‘Mania’ is perfetto!! Who falls for a woman well-past her prime to have so much sex?! I can only hope…. LOL.

I know, Su00, but sometimes even I get tired of the sound of my own negative voice.

Opps–I forgot to take off my Valentine’s Day Gag mask!

A wedding that “will not take place at all….” From your lips to the “Soap God’s” ear, CeeCeeGirl! After reading some select spoilers, I can only hope that indeed shall be the case! It’s time to put an end to this monotonously mediocre misalliance, and cut Julian loose to pursue either the mother of his baby son or anyone else more age-appropriate. As Harry has stated, the fact that this man looks so much younger than a woman that is supposed to be his junior by a few years is simply so obvious that one needs be myopic to miss it…..it cannot be ignored by any observant individual. From the fore, there’s never been any substance to this tawdry twosome…only repetitious, titillating activities which have become more laughable with each passing episode, and therein lies the inadequacy of the entire premise that these people actually belong together. The whole concept, especially that of a frou-frou wedding more befitting of a first-time bride, or at least a beloved long-time supercouple, just smacks of a fantastical cougar-inspired fairytale, not a realistic love story in any way, shape or form.
