GH: Promoting Napping In The Afternoon Instead Of Watching

The winner of the “Pot Calling Kettle Black” award goes to LULU! How is it possible that the writers could take a character that a year or so ago, I dearly loved, and make her into the most annoying and infuriating character on the canvas? Telling Nik to stay away from Claudia? You’ve got to be kidding me! Ms. “I’ve got to date every single guy that anyone tells me not to date” Spencer is dolling out the relationship advice? About the crazy sister of the crazy guy she’s dating? At least Nik is an adult who actually can take care of himself. Maybe I should just be glad that she took her head out of her “you-know-what”  to actually show even just a little concern for someone other than herself for once…

Yawn. Could the blog wars between Scrubs be any more boring? Yes, apparently they can. Throw Maxie & Spinelli into the mix and it’s even less appealing. Not that I don’t like Spinelli & Maxie, it’s just that… yawn. Excuse me, it’s just so boring. I hate what they’ve done to Robin.

El Stupido & el Stupidette squabble with Jax over Stupido’s involvement in the distribution deal for Crimson. The deal that el Stupido threatened to use his “Mob connections” to get. Jax has gone through a million hoops to get Sonny OUT of his life, and then Kate lets Sonny stick his nose in Jax’s business? Tsk Tsk. At least she pointed out to Sonny, that if he thinks he can keep all the power and favors of being a mob king without the danger, he’s living in magic land. I myself have been referring to GH’s mob land as Neverland for awhile now. It looks like being with el Stupido hasn’t killed all Kate’s brain cells. Yet.

Speaking of el Stupido killing people’s brain cells, I loved Maxie thinking that el Stupido caused Spinelli to have brain damage. Hilarious! Until of course Stupido started picking on Spinelli again. Do the writers realize how  bad it looks to have Sonny pick on teenagers? Do they?

Maybe I should’ve been a little more touched by Nik’s scene at Emily’s grave. But I wasn’t. They dragged her death/haunting/hallucination out waaaaay too long for me to care anymore. Yawn.

Here’s an actual conversation from the writer’s office over at GH.

Writer1: “Hey! You know how we didn’t think we could possibly make Lulu any more annoying or look any dumber than we already have?”

Writer2: “Yea, I know. Why? Did you think of something?”

Writer1: “Yea! what if we had her pick a fight with the toughest and coolest looking chick on the canvas right now? Wouldn’t that make her look really really dumb?”

Writer2: “Yea it would be like watching a little Chihuahua nip at a Doberman! It’s brilliant!”

(high fives all around the writers room)   

Meanwhile Over In Lanview…

Poor poor Jessica! OLTL has been pretty awesome these days (GH writers PLEASE take notes), but the abrupt dismissal of Forbes March and subsequent grisly death of Nash, was AWFUL. And it ain’t even over yet!  Jessica’s hand to belly move showed us that she’s pregnant! Nothing says sad sudsy soapy story than being pregnant with a dead man’s baby. I was very happy to see Nash call Natalie on being the little tramp that she is, it’s just too bad it cost him his life. I’m not sure why they let Forbes go, Nash & Jess were one of my favorite soap couples right now. A total shame. Good luck Forbes!
