It’s a sad day when I look to General Hospital to keep me entertained, but with the sad state that Days is currently in, how can I not? Granted Lulu is a pig from Hell, but at least she has a pulse which is more than I can say for anyone on DOOL these days.
Take today’s episode (please!) for instance:
- Abe takes Theo over for a playdate with Ciara. Since Theo is newly diagnosed as Austic, he no longer wants to play with Ciara, instead playing by himself. Abe furrows his brow and lectures Hope on his newly learned Autism facts (which I’m sure he got from Wikipedia). I’m sorry, I’m still not feeling Lexie and Abe as a couple. Look, I know they’ve been married for 100 years, but they’re only interesting when she’s cheating on him or being a Dimera.
- Bo struggles with his conscious about Victor and Phillip. Haven’t we seen this subplot before? Can’t Bo just revel in the fact that he’s the biological son of the most fabulous character on this show…ever?
- Max is on a midnight train in France and the jackass actually think that he’s still relevant enough to have a paparazzo follow him. I loved it when Max was all “I don’t want to be known as a race car driver anymore”. Exactly, because he wants to be known as the son of a blue collar pub owner with a less than stellar IQ. You know, I enjoyed this subplot when I first saw it, only it was about a different Max. (Coincidentally, he also drove race cars.)
- Weepy McCries a lot was at it again. I swear, she and Sami should have a Tear Off and be done with it. When Steve mentioned that he wasn’t there when Stephanie left home to race cars, I tried to mentally imagine this version of Stephanie driving a Ford Focus let alone a race car. I just think that the constant weeping would hamper her ability to corner effectively. Poor Stephen Nichols and Mary Beth Evans, they’re stuck between Waterworks and a pretend premature baby.
Even Kate dressed like a train wreck couldn’t salvage this episode.
Yes, it was a pile of boring yesterday for sure. At least Stephanie turned off the waterworks for today. God she’s pathetic. All of the young females on this show are pathetic. Why can’t they write interesting, STRONG young women?
Autism, still don’t care. Max, still don’t care. Paparazzi stalking Max? I wouldn’t believe that in 5000 years.
Terrible. Today was better though, thanks to EJ/Trent. I find them far more interesting than just about anybody else these days.
I’m glad I’m not the only one not getting the autism story. It is VERY poorly done and the whole focus is on Lexie/Abe as a couple, not on Theo. HELLO – he needs your support, not you always whining about how all your dreams for him will never come true. Blehhh to the whole thing.
Loving the EJ/Trent/Nicole thing. I want EJ to kick his short little ass. FYI – I really hate short men.
I don’t buy the paps stalking Denise Richards on It’s Complicated and I don’t buy them stalking Max here.
Yes, and after watching this week’s episodes wherein Lexie and Abe discuss using Theo’s college money to pay for therapy made me realize something: Yes, I should feel empathetic to them, yet instead all I can think of is how Lexie should have been nicer to Stefano and then she could have unlimited illegal and offshore funds to jumpstart Theo’s schooling.
[...] still watching it, but I’m otherwise preoccupied with Johnny Zacchara’s trial, Theo’s Autism, and Kelly Taylor’s baby daddy. Just because I’ve been silent thus far, doesn’t [...]
