I'm left wondering what will happen to poor Georgie now that Scott Clifton is leaving. They barely show the poor girl as it is. I was thrilled when she finally ditched Dillon (and I used to LOVE him), but I wouldn't have been so excited if I had realized that when she got rid of him, she was getting rid of all her screen time as well.

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.

Once they split them up and didn't do Georgie/Diego (yeah I pimp Diego everywhere!) I realized they didn't care about Georgie as anything other than Dillon's appendage and Maxie's conscience.

I don't. Following the Jason/Carly/Sonny thing, in my mind, Jason is Carly's tru wuv. Like he is (after the kids) the most important person in her life and if he ever said "Carly I love you, let's be together" she'd jump at the chance. Sonny is way way way down on list for her. Yeah she's always talking about how she loves him and their "connection" (which is totally only on her side). They have the kids and all that but it's not a good love, you know. It's very ugly and both are better off without each other. I don't want that kind of relationship for Logan and Lulu. And again for Spinelli to be the Jason? Makes no sense to me. I could have seen Diego being her Jason. Aw, poor pretty bad acting Diego.

My problem is that they are going to make Logan/Lulu so ugly I won't even care anymore.

UO? I actually really like Spinelli/Lulu, its one of the few times he doesnt annoy me with his Jason loving. They shine together. Whatever. I'm still sad that they didnt go with the Diego/Lulu team up, only to fall for each other s/l. They had badass chemistry.

I too worry for Georgie, I enjoy her, and cant we get her a love interest? And while I wont miss Dillon (which is sad becuse he used to be awesome and he and Georgie used to kick ass), I will miss Scott Clifton.

I'm also sad they never did the "Scott is Dillon's real daddy!" s/l. I never liked Lulu/Dillon, but that would have been great. As it is I refuse to believe this is Scott. The real Scott Baldwin is too cool for this shit. Also, Dominique was his soul mate. Also, he was one of the few good dads in Port Charles so how about bringing back his kid? Serena? Remember her?

And I agree if Jason ever wanted to get back together, Carly would drop everything to make it so.

And on AMC...did I just see Babe and Krystal telling Colby how it sucks when people lie to you, keep things from you, and screw you over? How do they not die from hypocrisy.

I would actually like Colby if she had asked them, "Then why do you lie to people, keep the truth from people, and screw them over, literally and figuratively, all the time?" One problem with this show is that there seem to be too many bland blondes. Di, Annie, Colby, and probably a few others are interchangeable for me. I'm not including Babe on that list because she's vile and blonde which is a special category just for her.

The only newish actress I think is interesting is the one who plays Amanda. She's got chemistry with JR, her character seems to have actually experienced growth and has some self-awareness. Plus, she's Amanda Dillon and there's a lot of love for the name alone based on history. I like characters who are tied to the canvas in natural ways versus the insta-history method of making someone new a long-lost child or sibling of an established character. (I'm glaring at you Miss Samatha "Sandra McIntire" McCall.)

Kiran- 06-06-2007
I actually kinda like Colby, not her newfound love for the Careys (man, did I love it when she was railing against them), but more her continued love and support for Adam. Thats nice.

I also like Di because a) shes seems to accept that she did bad things in the past and not deny it and b)she calls Jonathan on his shit.

MegSwan- 06-06-2007
I'm starting to like both Colby and Sean, neither of whom I could stand until recently. I liked Sean's scene with Erica yesterday (I think it was yesterday--sometimes I'm a day behind). Very sweet.

I don't like the new Greenlee, and I really hate the "flashbacks" they keep showing, but I do like that she's going after Zach for his power outage stunt. Plus, thanks to her antics, we got a nice scene with Livia and Derek being all brotherly and sisterly with each other. And it made me realize how much I miss Livia.

For some reason, it really bugs me that Babe was a cosmetics executive and doesn't even have her GED. I don't know why I let these things bother me, since I don't think half of Pine Valley is technically qualified for the jobs they do, but it really bugs me.

I'm somewhat cautious in saying this, but I think the show may actually be improving. I stopped fast-forwarding the other day because JR was shirtless (and I am shallow), and I found myself actually paying attention again after weeks of scanning through the show in 5-10 minutes.

I read a spoiler that said >>Adam and Tad receive shocking news, or something to that effect<<. I'm guessing we'll find out that >>Jenny is actually Adam's daughter after all, since dumbass Krystal never thought to get her DNA -*test*-('")ed or anything.<< Anyone happen to know if I'm correct? For some reason, I really want to know.

Kiran- 06-06-2007
<<I dont know if your correct, but that would make the Carey last name choice more apt. Plus I think Krystal is dumb enough that would mess up a dna -*test*-('") >>

Also, when Jamie said that not having your diploma didnt mean you werent smart, I said, no it doesnt, but in Babe's case shes still a dumbass. Dumbass.

Gillian- 06-06-2007
Oh, I definitely think AMC is improving. It's still not good, but it's sucking less. The balance alone has been so much better since McTavish got her incompetent ass out of the building.

Sean's scenes with Erica are generally pretty good. Sean has gradually grown on me, and it's because of his scenes with Erica and, to a lesser extent, Lily. I've grown to like Colby better, too, newfound Carey love aside. I don't care about the two of them as a couple yet, but I'm not ruling out the possibility.

I'm all over the place with this new Greenlee. When she's in bitch mode, kicking Babe out of Fusion, and not talking about Ryan, I like her. I hate the way she treats Kendall, and she really would benefit from moving the hell on with her life, but I get why she's pissed at Zach about the blackout*. Her actions in that respect make sense to me. Anytime she's in whine mode or talking about Ryan, though, I hate her. A lot. I have a feeling that her resentment towards Zach is less about the fact that he ruined her chance to have a baby and more about the fact that he ruined her chance to have Ryan's baby. I hate that she's still obsessed with that asshat. She can (and did. What's up, Leo?) do so much better than him. She was cute in the elevator with Josh the other day, so I vote that she goes for him and the two of them make their own weird science baby. It would piss Erica off, which would be hilarious, and I wouldn't have to hear her moan about Ryan anymore.

*I do not, however, understand Annie's anger. I mean, I get her disgust. I really do. Zach did a bad thing, and having used a fertility clinic herself, it would be weird if the blackout didn't piss her off. What I don't get is her OMG Zach is TEH EVUL!!1! reaction. This coming from a woman who lets her kid hang around creepy Uncle Jonathan on a regular basis. Calm the hell down, Annie.

Kiran- 06-06-2007
And dude, seriously, once you've had Leo, how is Ryass even an option? Now if that was Leo's sperm, I could totally understand that. I mean who wouldnt be obsessed with having his child?

And she and Josh should have a science baby. Its the closest we'll get to a Kendall/Greenlee baby (seriously those two do not talk like ex-best friends, more like ex-lovahs.)

I know there are precious few OLTL fans left after long LONG winter of Dena Higley descimation, but 1) That bitch got fired, and 2) apparently according to TWoP for the upcoming 10,000 episode Nathan Fillion is reprising his role as Joey Buchanan!

Excuse me for geeking out. I have every hope he and Robin Strasser's Dorian will get flirty.

klk1714- 06-13-2007
I read that Fillion is returning for that ep. along with Dan Gautheir's kevin..jesus, now that was what the young buch boys should have been for all those years..Damm Nathan for going out and furthering his "career".
I have to say I doubt there will be much hot'n'heavy scenes with him and Dorian because A) he's coming back for Asa's funeral..sniff..sniff.
and B) she is now dating his dad..I don't know.
Should be good intense eye candy nonetheless.

blixie- 06-13-2007
I do not acknowledge she is dating Lint, she is merely toying with him until Tuc Watkins comes back full time and D/D can be reunited. I'm not looking for hot and heavy, but RS plays all her scenes with whatever Joey O the day with a ton of subtext, and with Nathan back I can't believe their old chemistry won't be cookin'. I hope he gets to make a smartass comment about her idating Lint at least.

Get out!!!!

That's so awesome!

So Asa died? I know he got fired or something like that, but how and when did he die?

klk1714- 06-14-2007
Phil Carey (Asa) contract was up and didn't want to be on recurring status, he wanted to be full-time but the network didn't want that so, out the door he goes. What pisses most off is that his "send-off" or last airdate was NOTHING..absolutely NOTHING. It was like a 3 minute scene with him and natalie and natalie needing another job so he was going to bring her on at Buch Enterprises...that was it, no long pause or shot of asa on the last frame, just regular little old filler scene. Asa is still alive right now but has not been seen or heard from since then, every now and then a character mentions his health is failing (which it has been for the last 3 years) but I think it's in July when Asa will head off to that big ranch in the sky and of course they won't let PC return for his send-off..he's dying offscreen.
The only good thing coming out of this is all the returns of characters for his funeral..Kevin, joey (nathan!!!!) Cord and Alex and Max will all be coming back for his funeral.

Kiran- 06-14-2007
Dude, if they got Gina Togonino to come back and play Kelly, and the ep ended with her and Joey hooking up and her leaving Kevin I would be ecstatic. Dorian/Joey was awesome, but I was a totally big Kelly/Joey shipper back in the day. He did a disco routine to make her smile!
