Subject: GH: Are the writers kidding?

After watching GH today, I have come to the conclusion that the writers
are toying with us.  They do not take us (the viewers) seriously.

For instance, Tiffany, an investigative journalist who I am sure must
have had a headache ONCE in her life has never heard of
ACETIMENOPHEN????  And Sean hasn't either?!?!?!?  Come on, we're
supposed to believe this?  But let's just say that by some weird fluke,
the knowledge of this pain reliever had by-passed this couple.  HAVE
THEY NEVER HEARD OF BABY ASPIRIN?!?!?!?  Did Tony and Bobbie have to go
all the way over to the penthouse in the middle of the night to deliver
a bottle of acetimenophen?!?!?  I know, I know, they're a doctor and a
nurse, but still, I'm sure that any information they had to give could
have been conveyed over the telephone.  And Sean and Tiffany could have
called up the drugstore, which I'm sure delivers, to send them up some
baby aspirin or Children's Tylenol.

And then there's Bile and Holy.  There are just so many inconsistencies
here that it would take me all day to list them, so I'll just give the
most glaring one.  THEY BOTH TOOK THEIR AIDS TESTS AND GOT THEM BACK
THAT SAME DAY??!?!?!???  Come ON!!  I know the writers were anxious to
throw them into bed together, but please, they started out with a little
reality, why couldn't they just follow through on it?

Well, I won't call Dixie a tramp and here's why: first of all, if she were a 
man, she'd be a "stud". I'm sick & tired ofthe notion that's it's awful if a 
woman sleeps around, and manly if a man does. (BTW, in this day of AIDS, no 
one should sleep around). Secondly, if anyone was ever a "tramp", it'd be 
Gloria. Once she saw the "error" of her ways, no one called her a tramp 
anymore, but because everyone is mad/irked with Dixie, she's still a "tramp" 
to a lot of folks, even tho she's now in a monogamous relationship. Gloria 
is leading poor Stewart on, why isn't she a "tramp" anymore? Sigh.....

The feminist in me agrees with Rose and Sue.  What a pain when my wife
changed her name!  (Her choice.  She liked Morris.)  What are you going
to name the kids?  I would guess the man's name.  Although there's no
logical reason I can think of to choose one over the other...

Kids?  3 days to Rose's marriage and I'm talking kids?

Linda Hirch (?) the TV soap lady predicted Monday that Victor has Ryan

Victor is irritating me more than ever now.  He's SO controlling I can hardly
stand to watch.  I just want to kick him.  And Vicky is SO stupid!  Nikki
seems to be on track which is pretty surprising to me.  

Are we ever gonna see Victor get what's coming to him?

This is how I remember that scene.  I kept thinking did they or didn't they do
it?  The writers did this on purpose so when the truth comes out years from now
that the child is Frank's and AM will tell Eleni we didn't sleep together in
Greece.

Sherri, Sherri, Sherri.  Eleni doesn't think rationally and I was really

her background, I just assumed she would think it was the man's place to take
care of it or just assume when you get married you have babies right away.:)

It's easy.  Just follow these steps:

1.  You rewind the tape on which Y&R and B&B are taped.

2.  You watch Y&R, zapping only the commercials.

3.  As you see the "CBS StereoSound (where available)" symbol at the
    start of B&B, hit the "scan" or "FF" buttons on your remote control.

4.  Stop the scanning (rewinding the tape briefly, if needed) when
    a She-evil scene appears.

5.  Feel good that you're satisfying your curiosity about Sheila
    without getting hooked on another bill Bell morality tale (by
    falling for the "Sheila and Lauren finally meet" crap).

Works for me...    :-)

  YES!  He is the only one doing any actual investigating.  Jodie and
  Reese the supercops from Florida and concerned parents extrordinaire have
  done what so far - flown to Florida found a man who abused Frank when he
  was a child and flown home.  Reese was more impassioned when he attacked
  the Ken-doll than when dealing with Eugene.  And then there's Kelly
  bemoaning the fact that she, single-handedly, will be responsible for BJ
  going to jail.  And let's not forget Warren, our resident defender of
  Truth, who goes out of his way to prevent BJ from figuring out what really
  happened that night.  I keep expecting Warren to come to his senses and
  DO something.

  McCabe has been after the truth from the beginning and no one else has.  
  Everyone is obsessed with protecting BJ but they don't even know what
  they're protecting her from.  I think he will save the day, also, and there
  had best be some major grovelling on the part of some people once he does.

I saw that/them. What killed me was the girl that played Mouse. On GH she
looked everybit of 13 or 14 years old, but in real life she's a semi-babe!
Robin (for those that didn't see it) set Kin up with the girl that played
Mouse on GH a few years earlier. It was weird/wild/interesting. Kin looked

Susan, I do not like the scene.  But that's just my opinion about
a soap opera.  You do like it and that's also your opinion.  That's
fine.  This list is supposed to be about soap discussions.  I, however
must object to being labelled a conservative, a prud and (I think)
a religious zealot.  I am none of those things.  You don't know me,
so I think it unfair that you judge me.  I would hazard this is also
why your post has engendered such a response.  You attacked the posters,
not so much our views about a soap, but our values and beliefs.  I'd
venture to say you think we do the same thing with Carly.  But Carly
is fictional.  And the comments on Crystal started when she publically
proclaimed herself proud of a scene many of us found stupid at best
and reprehensible and degrading at its worst, weeks ago.
I don't think it's a witch hunt (I doubt Carly would float), but
she's an unpopular character we have to watch 5 days a week.  We either
turn off the show, which is an option many people have taken, or we
use the ff button and vent to the list.  Maybe you'd be more comfortable
if we labelled negative postings.  Then you could just delete them and
and not have to read them.  Just an idea.
