Guiding Light Message Board

WTH is up with the writing with the show of late? Are they trying to get me to hate the show so I won't miss it when it goes off the air or what? There are maybe two stories that I'm interested in and if you haven't been a fan for years you could care less about them.

I for one am loving Billy and Vanessa and Frank and Blake. Again, if you haven't watched the show since the 90s or earlier you have no investment in them as couples so there's no reason to care for them being put back together or finally being moved in that direction. There was no reason to care for Holly today either.

On the other hand, there is ever reason to question WTF is going on with everything else with the show. Really, I get that Ovtavia is 'popular' why, I have no understanding of. Olivia was the MOST sexual woman when she came on and now she's being dumbed down to be with Nat? I mean "she's pregnant with someone else's child?" no **** sherlock, unless you're hiding some big secrect or the show's going the way of Passions since you have 2 daughters she'd HAVE to be having someone else's kid since you're both WOMEN! And it's not the fact that they're both women, I liked BAM and Bianca and Reese on AMC but these two I don't buy together as more then a publicity stunt gone bad to get ratings. They worked as friends. They ruined both Natalia and Olivia in this mess. First Olivia was chasing Nat and now Nat, who is the good Catholic, is doing the chasing? I don't think so, esp not on a show that had is roots in religion.

And then there's this whole Mallet/Marina/Shane BS. I do not buy him walking away from HIS son for morinic Shane "anger boy" Lewis. This is a guy who raised his sister. Who put her above his happiness. Who put off getting married so she could have her wedding of her dreams over getting married to the woman he loved. This is a man who knew he probally wouldn't be able to have children of his own and had long sense come to terms with it. He would have fought ANYONE to keep them from taking HIS boy. Now, unless he's out to help take down Edmund I'm not buying him walking away from Marina. I might have bought him lying to her because Julie was into something and him going to protect her and lying to protect his family, but to just walk away and hand over his son to Shane? No way in hell. That is not who Mallet is. He is not that insecure. Shane's the insecure one. He's the one who'd be giving Mallet the hard time. He's the one who would need a smackdown or two and Frank and Mallet and the rest of the Coopers would be giving it to him.

Then there's Reva. Another one of the why the hell should I cares? If I didn't get to see Blake mourn Ross I sure as hell don't want to watch Reva mourn someone who isn't even supposed to be the love of her life. I'm sick to death of her already. I love Jonathan calling her on her *****. She needs to get over herself already. I'm tired of the Reva show! In fact I happen to think if they hadn't turned GL into the Reva show it mught still have more of a chance. I knew as soon as they didn't take a hard line with KZ like the other shows were taking with their actors that it was only a matter of time before it was canceled and I called it. She got her way and GL got the ax!

I also don't care about Phillip and his 'death' being an alagory of GL's journey to the end. Phillip's died so many times it doesn't even register any more. Daisy and James as a couple are more sickening then Tammy and Jonathan. SHE's HIS SISTER! Aside from the fact that she's supposed to be close to 13 years older then him he's named for her adoptive father who was thought to be his biological father and died saving his life! Fans remember these things even if the writer's don't. I'm sorry if it was twisted for Mallet to be invovled with his goddauther this is WAY worse!

And then there's Buzz and his quest to get close to Jenna and Coop. Ummm, here's an idea: look up your other son by her you idiot. Rocky is still alive. You want to make up for lost time? Start by paying attention to the son who is still alive. You might also want to look up your other MIA child, Lucy while you're at it.
