Additional Comments: Has Bobbi been to see her third grandchild? Bobbi Spencer Drake Jones etc etc? Remember her? Totally written out of the show after 30 years. No. JFP sucks.
Anyway, James Franco says in his first interview they use TelePrompter but he memorized his lines. Sonny always seems like he's watching a roach scurry into a crevice while he's talking to people.

I guess I was niave. I always thought that was his acting style. But then I noticed he obviouslly memorized every word of his speech to the widow-to-be. No flubbing there.

How many crisis have we seen Elizabeth face, w/no Audrey?! Her father hasn't been seen or heard from since about a decade before Elizabeth ever came to town!! Jeff has barely been mentioned, much less made any visits to see HIS grandchildren.

With or without JFP, we have seen less & less of the Spencer and Hardy families. When we have they have been pathetic & cringeworthy. The sad fact seems to be that TPTB just don't know, or care, about what to do w/these characters, except dumb them down to the point of being unwatchable.

What about the repeated rumor about Steven Webber coming to Port Charles? We've seen it before & like so many others, including Elizabeth's sister, the lack of focus has made these characters' appearances moot, when they shouldn't be. The decision makers simply don't know what to do w/them & it shows.

Replies: (list all replies)

You're always so negative. If these characters are so unwatchable, stop watching! You've been spewing this stuff for years and it never gets better to you, so please find something else to do with your time instead of being so negative on here. I happen to LOVE GH and look forward to every episode!

Cayley: Glad to hear you are SO happy w/GH as it is. Some of us know it could be MUCH better & should be. That isn't negative, it is just truthful. If I didn't love the show I could care less about the condition the show is in! It isn't negative to constructively want to see changes made to make the show the best it can be, which it is NOT right now. If you think that today's GH is the best it can possibly be then you weren't watching when it had more than three times the audience it does now & when the writing was SO far superior to what we see today. There was a time when I was on the edge of my seat & couldn't wait for the weekend to be over, anticipating the next week's episodes & seeing how stories were going to unfold. Now, not so much. I've been watching GH for over 43 yrs now. I can honestly say that the last 15+ haven't been what they could/should have. eom

Yes, the actor that plays Sonny has for years looked like and acted like he forgets his lines, forgets the next word in the sentence and then does this constipated pause while he looks away for the prompt. Love the roach comment too!
