| Also is it bad if I though Amanda/JR was hot today on AMC? I just want Babe gone. |
No. They were hot! Here's hoping some hatesex lies in their future.
And boy, do I so want Babe gone. I haven't really warmed up to the new Greenlee yet, but I'll love her forever if she slaps the smug off of Babe's face sometime soon.

The New Greenlee is no Rebecca Budig but she only bugged me when she referred to Ryan as the love of her life. Leo was. And no one can convince me otherwise.
Also how was she the bad guy in her and Ryan's break up? Hes the one who got a vasectomy in secret, nearly punched her when she was pregnant, faked his death in the same way her beloved first husband died (convincing he she was a widow twice before she was 28), and brought his crazy ass brother (who drugged her, and then tried to kill her and her sisters) to live with them. Damn.
Speaking of, Shut Up, Jonathan. Ava borrowed a credit card. You murdered a beloved, long time character and are now living in his house, tortured a group of women, were a wife beater, married an autistic 16-year-old and cheated on her. You dont get to judge anyone. Also you cant act outside of crazy, and Levin Rambin is rocking it, so hell yeah I'll take her side over yours.
And nothing irked me more than when Babe called Adam Fucking Chandler a loser.

I'm tired of watching Greenlee bitch and moan over how Ryan was the love of her life and now she's lost him. Good Lord, have some pride. I forgive it this week though because of the awesome drunken rant where she called Babe a baby snatcher.
Also, I swore Babe said, "I'll have to go back to giving out BJs" after Greenlee took back her shares of Fusion but the people at TWoP say it was, "I'll have to fill out an application at BJs." It doesn't speak well of a character when I don't have to think twice about references to prositution as a viable career option.
Now, on to OLTL. Just how old is Marty's son supposed to be? Because he looks like he's in high school and Marty looks like she's my age, 30, and there's no way I buy that unless Marty's been retconned as a teenage mother. I'm assuming Cole's dad is Patrick Thornhart. And I know Marty's a doctor but what's her specialty?
As for General Hospital, Sonny and Jason are still assholes. I don't like Sonny's soon-to-be baby's mama Kate Howard (aka Constance Falconelli which is a hundred times more awesome of a name than the generically WASPy Kate Howard), Sam's still sucks, and Emily is now orange.

Yep Cole is supposedy the son of Marty and Patrick..EVEN though when both of them exited in late '97, marty just found out she was PG and their were references later on that she had a GIRL..but the icing on the cake to this return is that Patrick did DIE by a shooter shortly after their wedding..EVERYONE in llanview thought that he died, except marty that found him "coming to" in the ambulance ride..They went with the dead story because patrick was hiding from the Irish mob. But somehow when marty returned last fall, no one remembered that or their secret got out because marty is still the newly-grieving widow because I guess he just "died" for real this time a year ago.
Yeah, history isn't really even remembered by the writers there...I just wonder if some of the actors that were THERE when that crap was taped a decade ago ever raise their hand and say.."um I remember this and this isn't how it went down".
They've recasted marty (who's character was always a hypocritical a-hole but at least that actress could act) this girl not so much. She left as a regular Dr. of internal medicince but in that time switched over to psychology and even came back a few years ago to defend todd of a rape charge by his on-off again wife. And of course we SORAS her kid to be paired with star so both of them can whine about having parents that raped the other one..Fun stuff.
Kiran- 05-26-2007
Aw, Starr/Cole is actually one of the few things I like. Along with Starr/Viki.
Yeah, Erika Slezak gave an awesome interview a couple of months ago (I think for her newsletter, someone posted it on TWoP) where she raked the producer over the coals for not caring about veterens, and being a hack. It was awesome. And very clear that she just does not care and is all "Bitch, try firing Viki Lord and see what happens to you."
klk1714- 05-26-2007
I did like the star/cole pairing initially but star who I've LOVED since she was a baby has turned into all the other women in llanview and every other word out of her mouth is "cole this, cole that"..At least she's a teenager and her emotions are suppose to be in overdrive. Can't say the same for the older women on the show.
That and they have rushed star/cole WAY too fast. In fact Slezak also menioned that in her interview as well..they had star who is a freshman in high school come very close to sleeping with cole..(barely several months after cole attacks her in a steroid rage incident).
Now while kids that young are sleeping with each-other in today's society, OL is not equipped to adequately handle or write for such a situation. That and the girl who plays star is 14-15 and the actor playing cole who looks like a teenager is 22 and Erika mentioned how nervous kristen was to film the scenes of heavy pawing and kissing and how unbelivably rushed the whole thing was.
I have to say I heavily agree and that I think they need to hold the hell off on seeing star in a love scene.
Kiran- 05-26-2007
Oh, so do I. I also wish they'd bring back some of Starr's...well her weirdness. She was a cool, strange girl, who never wanted to fit in. It wasnt that she was cool, it was that she didnt care. I dont mean make her back into a brat, but bring up that she likes snakes and lizards and never had the best moral compass. And damn it her awesome spunky wit.
klk1714- 05-26-2007
I totally agree..I HATE the way they have made her a victim of a bully like brittany and basically this last year has had her friend Langston (whom I like) fight her battles for her or Cole. I'm glad they are showing a strong friendship between star and langston but half the time, langston's attitude reminds me of old star and the girl I'd thought she'd turn out to be. Full of attitude but with a heart and sure as hell not letting a boy like cole turn her entire world upside down..ESPECIALLY now that he is going out with brittany, the bitch that has made her life hell this past year, but you know they will write her as taking him back with open arms and I hate that.
In my little dream world, they would SORAS matthew (and have it be played by somone who is NOT related to kristen) and have him be the guy who's in star's corner. They had such a sweet, odd friendship there for a while. I'd like to see one form again and have matthew eventually be her knight in shining armor as they become young adults, with star of course still calling all the shots.

I just watched today's GH and I want Logan to go die in a fire or something equally horrible. Are we really supposed to think he is the endgame guy for Lulu? Bitches, PLEASE. *cuddles poor Spinelli*

Seriously? We're supposed to like him? Hmmm. If that's true maybe they should stop writing him as such an ass.
TiffanyNichelle- 06-04-2007
I hate that they made it so that I can't even enjoy Spinelli getting the everloving shit beat out of him (about time!) because the whole thing was so dumb. Man I hate Spinelli.
Annie- 06-04-2007
I'll just pretend you didn't say that. Lalalala I'm not listening. *loves Spinelli* Well, not all the time. He can be really annoying and creepy about the whole Jason and Elizabeth's baby thing. But most of the time I love him because Bradford Anderson is amazing and charming and adorkable.
TiffanyNichelle- 06-04-2007
I loathe Spinelli, stupid freaking dumbass hacker. I just want to pop him upside his head all the time. I'm sure BA is a lovely young man, but I hate that character. And I hate that they are going to surely put him with Lulu. They work as friends but romantically, I get hives, yuck.
big chicken- 06-04-2007
I hate Spinnelli too and had no idea I was supposed to find him charming.
I was watching last Friday's episode with my sister and we were watching the courtroom scenes and talking about how this storyline didn't make any sense and the it hit me--this isn't Scott. The real Scott is stuck on an island somewhere with Serena and Karen, all prisoners of Helena Cassadine who has decided to mess with Spencers once again and to teach her ungrateful grandson a lesson by sending a Scott Baldwin doppleganger to initiate his stupid lawsuit.
I know someone is going to tell me Helena is "dead" and this storyline is thus impossible but I don't care. This is what I have to believe in order to stomach this mess.
SoapNet, why must you torment me with your availability? Normally I only get preview channels for a week but it's been three weeks and you're still there on my TV. Is this because I arrogantly said that I don't watch a lot of TV anymore? Is this my punishment from the TV Gods?

I don't think that's likely. It seems to me like Lulu is being positioned as Carly 2.0, with Spinelli as her BFF (aka Jason) and Logan as the dangerous guy she ends up with over and over again despite them being unhealthy for each other (aka Sonny). Throw in a little bit of a Luke and Laura retread with Logan making unwanted advances on Lulu and it's clear to me that the endgame is Logan/Lulu, not Spinelli/Lulu. Personally, I'm hoping for Georgie/Spinelli, if they ever let Georgie have a storyline again. They'd be too cute for words.
