Megan Ward is on CSI tonight!!
Why didn't I blog GH today? I did watch 30 minutes of it. I honestly had nothing to say. Nothing. I didn't think you'd want me to come in here and gush about OLTL again today, so I just didn't blog. I am so over Brenda's long sleeves already, I can barely stand it...YOU?
PS. That Irish chick is going to turn out to be a Fed, or some spy, you wait.
I vote for u to start a OLTL blog. I watch all 3 abc soaps for a long time GH was always my fav then I just watched GH, and OLTL occasionally. For over a year now I've only had genuine interest in OLTL so I have officially named it my fav. Way to go Guza
ReplyDeleteHate the long sleeves!!! I am with Ari...start a OLTL blog!!!!!
ReplyDeletePersonally, I can't stand Brenda; there are better characters to bring back than her back; and sooo sick of Sonny, Carly, etc. When are they going to start focusing on other characters? The mob story is old, old, old. I stopped watching GH after 30+ years this summer. Now I just check in on your site for the updates, nothing changes too quickly.
ReplyDeleteI vote with Ari Karen we need a OLTL Blog.....Ive watched GH and quit watching and just read your blog too.I am sick of the mob myself.
ReplyDeleteThe long sleeves do not bother me nearly as much as the fact that Brenda is always dressed in baggy, stretchy clothes that looks like she just got out of bed...and she is always in depressing colours. She is suppose to be a super model but Maxie, Carly, Olivia and Tracy are always dressed better.
ReplyDeleteNo one commenting on the last scene with Robin having a nightmare about being sent to Shadybrook?
I am also convinced Siobhan is undercover...it is the only way they can keep her around and allow that poor actress to drop the annoying accent.
For people who were drunk beyond recognition Tracy and Maya certain seem to have recovered well. Both looking very glam, no bags under the eyes, no sunglasses, no headache. I still think this storyline would have been better if it were Ethan and Tracy that eneded up getting married.
If Tracy knew Luke was faking the heart attack is she going to confront and/or try to blackmail Monica for going along with it?
I'm sorry but that maya Actress can't act worth crap. Such a funny story and she is just so dull. No comedic timing, no good facial expressions, no chemistry with ANYONE, just a pretty face. Dump her, GH
ReplyDeleteGet rid of Siabohn (sp) too while you're at it
ReplyDeleteYou don't get an acting job on a soap without some sort of creds. The fact that Annie Ilonzeh has a pretty face and was in the right place in time for GH to have a new black character has nothing to do with whether or not she can act. They are giving her very little to do on this show and now that the writers are finally moving along some sort of relationship with Ethan she is getting something to work with. And having scenes with Geary, Elliot and Nathan Parsons is not going to hurt her. I enjoyed her pulling the chips out of her dress (for the obvious reasons) and while her "chemistry" with Ethan does seem a little forced I don't think, given the general Quartermaine family dynamic, Maya could be anything but wary of having anything to do with Luke, Tracy and Ethan.
ReplyDeleteI'm not calling anyone a racist but I think some of the fans of GH are giving Maya's character and the actress's skills a hard time because she's from the Justus and Mary May Ward side of the family. GH writers and producers haven't done a very good job with non-white characters (hell, they haven't done a good job with a lot of the white characters) since Mary May and Justus. Lainie and Kelly are of course just passing characters but they don't get very good writing either and their scenes show it.
I wish fans would ease up on the Maya character some. Of the five new female characters installed on the show in the last year (Maya, Abby, Claire, Siobhan and Lisa) the writers are batting about .500. Lisa got the best story line and Brianna Brown is running with it. Claire's should have been good but the writers hate us and what could have been a spunky prosecutor turned out to be nuttier than Lisa Niles. As someone who has sat through John Wayne as Genghis Khan is Siobhan's accent bad? I don't much care. She's pretty easy on the eyes, also.
I think Maya and Abby's good story lines have yet to be written and hope they get a chance on this show but good luck with that. With somebody as highly regarded as Kimberly McCullough being reduced to working a bad dream sequence - well, there's not much hope.
I still love GH and I will always be a fan. I've watched it for over 30 years. To me a "Fan" is someone who hangs in thru the good times and the bad. Some era's on GH have been better than others, but it always comes back.
ReplyDeleteInstead of trying to find what all I don't like about the show, I try to find the things I do. I don't always care for some of the story lines, but I hang in there for the characters and story's I do like. I simply fast forward thru the others. Some days, I'm through watching rather quickly too.
I've never cared for any other soap, so I can't comment on OLTL, but if thats what you enjoy, maybe that's what you should blog about instad of GH and stop complaining. I no longer enjoy WUBS as I did before, but as a fan of WUBS, I plan to hang on and hope that WUBS will stop castigating GH and once again dish on the scoops, news and rumors of GH. It seems that now, its nothing but GH bashing and more information on OLTL than anything else.
Don't misunderstand... I'm not trying to be mean, ugly or anything... but simply, if you no longer enjoy GH and see no hope for change, maybe its time to move to another show.
LOVWE LOVE LOVE that Sam is in the dark. Ha.
ReplyDeleteSorry I disagree that Annie's acting is being judged because she's black or becasue she's part of the Ward's. I for one LOVED the Wards. Oh and My mother is black, BTW. As beautiful as I think she is I still think Annie is not a good fit in this role. She's lacking the personality to stand up to the actors she's luck enough to be working with. I am not a fan of claire or Lucky's girlfriend either. They just dropped the Aiden story completely. Would have been a great sweeps story but NOOOOOO
I like the actress that plays Maya, unfortunately they've given her little to do. I have always said GH needs diverstity..period.
ReplyDeleteOMG, starting ANOTHER blog?? Come on guys!! LOL...I'll just rename this the WUB TUB SOAP BUBBLES BLOG or something, take the GH out
Heh. I'm always amused when someone harps on Annie's acting because she honestly is not that bad, no she's not amazing, but meh, she's not the worst either. In fact, Julie Marie Berman and Kelly Monaco are probably the two worst actresses on the show and they are on almost daily. So what? You can handle bad acting from two front runners of the show but not from some poor character who barely gets any screen time? Give me a break. And as it was said before, at least there is one black character who does more (very little more) than run around the hospital from time to time.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, Siobhan sucks the big one. But never fear, her character will be rewritten again and again to suit audiences so she can stick around. Accent annoys people? Ta-da! She was just undercover! People feel like she has no ties to the canvas other than Lucky? Did they forget to mention she's Kristina Cassadine's long lost twin?! She's boring because she has no real skills to set her apart in PC? Why she's actually a world famous photographer in her spare time!
And so on and so forth.
WUBS, please keep on complaining - cause this is your blog and GH deserves to be ragged on. Soaps are going to be completely done in a decade (maybe even sooner!) and I want GH to know exactly why it's happening.
WUB TUB SOAP BUBBLES BLOG?
ReplyDeleteI'll take it!!! :)
I know it isn't the actors faults, for the most part. They have to get good writing so they can show off their acting chops. Unfortunately, you won't get that on GH. They will add new characters in, Maya, Steven and unless you are involved with Sonny, you probably won't get much screen time....
ReplyDeleteYesterday's show stunk. I do agree that it was funny when Brenda told Sam that she wasn't letting her in the loop. I loved how Brenda asked her if she had done something so horrible that she didn't want to talk to people about it....Hmmm. Jason didn't even really have a face for that even though she did TWO horrible things to his son who couldn't even defend himself.
Brenda in her long sleeves...Didn't Sam used to have the sleeve issue going on too?
Frankly, i can't stand Brenda. never have. i don't understand why she creates such a draw. i hate that every male character falls in love with her at some point! Why?!? I just don't get it. So therefore, i have not watched any episodes since she has been on. Frankly, I feel that way about any show that she is on. Las Vegas. 90210. She comes on the screen, I change the channel.
ReplyDeleteI love Brenda---but the writing for her character stinks...
ReplyDeleteSorry, but Maya isn't doing anything for me. And she has absolutely no chemistry or spark with the Ethan guy AT ALL. I wouldn't care if she were magenta or chartreuse. I know none of these people are exactly master thespians - or at least most of them are not, but come on. She is pretty, but she has no personality and she is most definitely not funny, as can be evidenced by this current Vegas storyline. They are all trying so hard to carry her and it's not working.
ReplyDeleteI think the actor who plays Maya is fine, and I for one enjoyed her in the Vegas storyline, and thought she was very funny.
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE Brenda, and am thrilled that she's back on the show.
Wow! I'm just like you Ari. I started watching all three, then went down to GH and OLTL and am watching basically just OLTL now (just watch GH when I'm getting ready for school, actually, I don't even see it, just hear it).
ReplyDeleteThe Vegas stuff was just painful. The actor who plays Ethan couldn't even play drunk funny. And it feels like Geary is getting too old to make this comic stuff work like it used to.
ReplyDeleteThe Vegas storyline was the best written, acted, storyline in months! I loved the acting but dayum Nathan Parson is sex on a stick and I forene thinks he has amazing chemistry with the beautiful actress who portays Maya! I loved when Luke squeezed Maya's butt and when Ethan gave her a affectionate tug also. I enjoyed the fantastic four Jane, Tony, Nathan and Annie deserve props what an enjoyable and entertaining foursome vivs Ethan and Maya!
ReplyDeleteSoaps need to hold characters accountable for bad behavior only storyline I am enjoying is Ethan and Maya I love them as a couple I like Johnny also the actor is really talented!
