NOVEMBER 11, 2009 DAILY THOUGHTS THREAD

What happened to some of the Paraphat folks like Laura, Marsha, Lavinia. Or is the negativity maybe too much?

Do you want us to curb the negativity, Kate? I have been on a HUUUUGE "I don't give a f*ck anymore" binge.

THIS had me rolling:

But if anyone is for some reason offended by seeing Nik shot of his ass, take a pass.

Kate said...

No need to curb the negativity let it roll. I am on board. I just wondered why some have decided to stay away. I can understand it I guess. But also people should be free to express how they feel regardless. It's healthy to get it out.

Now off to lesson planning. Yuck

Lori said...

I'm sure people have their own reasons. I know Laura is just so busy with her job and the baby - as you will be now - that all this gets pushed down the ol' priority ladder. But she's been in contact via email and is just as disgusted and perpelexed by things as we are.
Congrats on getting back to work, BTW. I hope things go smoothly.
Just saw my last little dude off to school this morning, and now I'm off as well. Back in a bit.

I don't think that things are to negative here. You ladies crack me up!! GH has become crap and it is nice to come to a place where you can say that and not "get in trouble". I love hearing your thoughts, not only about GH but about everything we talk about.
Rock on ladies!!

PS. I am still working on getting a new AIM screen name.

Kate said...

I am just pissed as hell at TC and for no logical reason. In the acting business it's all about self preservation.

Beth said...

Yeah, I don't have a reason for the others not joining in, other than Laura, who I know is super-busy but has made the effort to stay in touch. I've just gotten to the point that I really don't care what anyone else thinks. I've been burned, and well, I'm pissed, to put it lightly, so I think having a place to openly express anger or anything else is a good thing. :)

Kate, how's getting back into the school thing going? I know it's tough being away from the wee one, but I know she's in good hands.

Cheryl, welcome back from vacay! Even though I'm jealous and don't like you for not taking me. ;)

And I'll freely admit it, I finally got to see that scene where Lucky shoots Nik, and I literally laughed my ass off last night. And just when I thought I had controlled myself, I'd think about Tyler flying backwards like a Wallenda, and I'd start laughing again! Me thinks they should have blown the money and done another take on that one, but damned if that wasn't funny stuff.

Lori said...

It just doesn't get old. At least not so long as he's a giant douche bag.

So apparently SID has a pic of natty on the cover with the word "FIRED" underneath it. *sigh*
Doesn't that at least imply that she did something wrong? It's not her fault that they used her as a damn NEm placeholder. Fraking losers. Run, Natty, RUN!

Beth said...

OMG, Serial drama weighs in on the "shooting."

Good times, man!

I did the dumbest thing today...I watched GH. OMG...WTF are they thinking!! Nik telling Luke he has real feelings for Liz. There was a time when Luke would have went for Nik's throat over something to do with his family, now..not so much.
IMO this SL is all about getting
LL2 back together. Nik is going to in up being the odd man out and I am kinda happy about that!!!
They have taken a honorable Nikolas and turned him into an idiot who cares about no one but himself!!
OK....I feel a little better (maybe) GH sucks!!!

Lori said...

Oh man. He said he has feelings for her? hee!

I don't care what anyone says - this isn't Nikolas Cassadine. What made Nikolas who he was, was his desire to be UNlike his fellow family members. It was his utter fear of becoming like them. He had heart and a love and respect for his family that his Uncle Stefan showed him. And eventually his mother, Laura, showed him. He was not, nor would he ever aspire to be some kind of heartless, robotic love machine out for nookie in a broom closet with his brother's wife. This crap is ridiculous. He's got "feelings" for her? Clearly not enough or he'd back the hell off like she's been telling him to. Like a gentleman would. Like Nikolas Cassadine would. Hell, even when he wanted Emily, he at least TRIED to back off and be her "friend". He tried to do it for her. And at least when he failed miserably at it, it was only Zander who he was getting in the way of - it wasn't his own freaking FAMILY. So no... this aint in character. Not at all.

Lori said...

Awww... just saw the LL2 scenes. They were so sparkly! Liz is heinous, but JJ makes me feel all warm and fuzzy over them.

And because I'm bitter and petty: Nikolas sucks and has no POV! Barely any dialogue and hardly any screentime! Hope TyTy enjoys his third wheel status!
I know I am.

Kate said...

Take some comfort people. At least Natty's exit from GH is not going to be forgotten.

Casting Spoiler

He's Baaack!
Fan fave Chad Brannon, who played the troubled drug dealer turned mob errand boy Zander Smith from 2000 to 2004, will be back for one episode in mid-to-late December as part of the Rebecca storyline. During his tenure, Zander fell in love with Emily (then-Amber Tamblyn) when he kidnapped her. They later married (with Natalia Livingston in the role) and divorced. Zander also fathered Cameron with Elizabeth (Rebecca Herbst). "It will be a nice wink to the audience," shares a setside source.

Kate said...

I agree about the Nikolas stuff. I don't care WTF Tyler says. He's already proven to me he knows shit about the character he plays. And IA about Nikolas. So many I ave seen have posted about how Nikolas is now a Cassadine and etc.

Nikolas from day 1 was always better than the rest of them. Always. This selfish crap and ish is all Guza and his reinvention of Nikolas. But as for screen time I am loving it. I am sure it will pickup at some point but I really could care less if he's a third wheel. The ugly evil Cassadines on GH had a shelf life. Even Stefan did. But you know Liz will make him better right. She'll save him. *vomiting*

Kate - I posted right after you re: Chad. WTF is that about??

I can't figure out what that will be - I'm so... confused. lol

Lori said...

chad's tweet:

"So about that whole dead being dead thing...yes it's true. I will be appearing on General Hospital again. It will air sometime in mid Dec! "


So it at least *sounds* like he'll be playing Zander.

I'm ever-so slightly excited. At least she'll go out with a bit of a flourish. Maybe they won't kill her, after all? *blink*

Anonymous said...

WTH...Zander is coming back to take Rebecca with him! That is crazy but that is so GH.
Lori, I am with you, loved LL2 today. Those two still got it!! Nikolas is just going to be a footnote in this SL. Bet Tyler will be wantin' Natalia back soon!

Kate said...

I was worried she'd just disappear but honestly I suspect that it's designed to make you wonder who she is especially with Zander involved.

Beth said...

Uhm...

What the WHAT?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Does this mean...Zander's ALIVE?!?!?! Wonder if he's taking Becca and she's got amnesia and is really Emily??? Is Natalia really leaving, or just leaving for a while and then coming back as Emily??? OMGOMGOMGOMG... Head SPINNING. I hate this freakin' show!!!!

But the best thing, everyone will be talking about this, rather than Tyler's crap. Hee! Suck it!

Kate said...

If its a nod nod wink wink it might be just Rebecca and a Zander lookalike meeting up on her exit making you wonder who they are who knows. I don't think it's meant to be clear and it won't

Okay...I'm still wondering why not one of Natalia's supposed GH friends have said shyte about her leaving. I mean seriously everyone of them were twittering when Greg was let go, but not one peep for Natty! :P What is that all about? Selfish pigs the lot of them...back stabbing for a tacky POA storyline or something else? Oh hell why am I trying to read more into this crap?! Ughh! But Zander is DEAD! Emily is DEAD! Natalia apparently is FIRED?! This world has gone MAD! Cheetoe boy is the one who should lose his paycheck! He hasn't put an honest days work in since before the rape! Can you say phoning it in?! Okay back to my dark place. Can you tell I'm Uber bitter?! Sorry guys!

Lori said...

Just my thoughts, but I figure no one is twittering/twatting about Natty being let go because they all got their hands slapped over GV's exit. As someone pointed out a while ago, the only castmate who twittered anything was Greg and he was already off the show at that point.
That doesn't excuse Tyler who has had at least one interview since then - and ample opportunity to make any asortment of benign, generic comments and hasn't. But whatever. I give up there.
Bethy, I have no idea what this chad stuff means, or how it plays into Remily, but I think we're better off not even thinking about it because this is GH and they can literally screw up ANYTHING. Zander fans should brace themselves. Yeah, it's only a day - but this is Guza's one day. There's no telling what he thinks will be a "wink and a nod" to fans.

So Natalia gets fired because GH doesn't want to write for her and Tyler dosen't act in scenes with her.(I don't think he can act anymore) This is how they treat there loyal actors. Natalia didn't have to come back but they begged her to and this is how they repay her. F*CK YOu GH... I'm happy she's leaving because she deserved better but I'm pissed how they keep treating her.
