Another One Bites the Dust
Well, another week, another dead legacy character. We thought the death of Logan and the departure of the once brutally hot Josh Duhon was worthy of a little live-blogging action. Or we thought that being on IM for an hour would at least delay us drinking ourselves into a stupor over 1) how bad this show is, and 2) that we still watch it.
Becca (9:59:32 PM): Okay, ready for your nightly dose of ABC-sponsored misogyny?
Mallory (9:59:54 PM): I can't wait! I have trained myself to hate women and love violence. Here we go
Becca (10:00:39 PM): Scenes like this with Jax and Kate make me sad for what could have been -- you know, if Kate didn't turn out to be a spineless mob apologist
Mallory (10:00:48 PM): For a jetsetting fashion maven, Kate's wardrobe tends to look a little Golden Girls, no?
Becca (10:01:11 PM): Totally.
Mallory (10:01:36 PM): Bruce Weitz cracks me up. I feel like he's the show's only actor who is in on the huge joke that is General Hospital
Becca (10:01:54 PM): But now they're giving him a serious story, in which scenery-chewing would be inappropriate! Why did they do that?
Mallory (10:02:20 PM): Because they ruin everything that they touch, without even trying
Becca (10:02:28 PM): Just so I'm clear, Trevor had sex with a 16-year-old Claudia, and for that her father just called her a whore, right?
Mallory (10:02:45 PM): Indeed! Because "manipulative tramp" is totally the term of endearment father/daughter conversations are made of
Becca (10:03:05 PM): Why did Lulu just answer a call from the guy she just saw brutalize Maxie like a ragdoll?
Becca (10:03:12 PM): I think she might be dumber than Carly.
Mallory (10:03:21 PM): She really is a moron! A smug, vile moron
Mallory (10:03:39 PM): Have you noticed that at least half of the men in that group shot at the end of the credits are dead?
Becca (10:03:40 PM): Seriously, half the people in these opening credits are dead.
Becca (10:03:44 PM): Ha! Jinx!
Mallory (10:03:53 PM): I owe you a coke! With rum
Becca (10:04:08 PM): OMG, Claudia "seduced" Trevor? Ewewewewew.
Becca (10:04:13 PM): This show is evil. Poor Sarah Brown. She's too good for this.
Mallory (10:04:45 PM): Okay, what year is it?
Becca (10:05:24 PM): 1920? I think that's the last time it was acceptable to talk about women like this.
Mallory (10:05:36 PM): The show has been on for five minutes, and Anthony Zacchara has already called his daughter a tramp AND a slut
Becca (10:06:07 PM): It's time-efficient misogyny, I'll give them that.
Becca (10:06:34 PM): I like how Ingo R can't even keep a straight face when saying it's obvious why Jax would be married to Carly.
Mallory (10:07:14 PM): I really like how he is trying to explain away what a harridan Carly is by blaming it on the miscarriage and Michael's shooting. Um, what about everything else between 1996 and then, Jax?
Becca (10:07:33 PM): Seriously. The reason she is such an awful person lately is a little something known as “her personality.”
Becca (10:07:55 PM): ....and then we cut to Carly being her usual horrible self with Jason. Perfect.
Mallory (10:08:13 PM): She's just so loud!
Becca (10:08:32 PM): And so entitled! I don't understand why she's so cocky. Self-confidence is dangerous in the wrong hands.
Mallory (10:08:36 PM): Holy crap, is this a Robin/Sonny scene?
Becca (10:08:52 PM): Sonny/Robin scenes make me think of Stone. If this show so much as makes me sniffle tonight, when I am in a mood to hate it, I will hate it even more for harshing my buzz.
Mallory (10:09:18 PM): Is it just me or has Maurice Benard actually finished more than half of his sentences? Kimberly McCullough is a miracle worker
Becca (10:09:29 PM): She does the same thing with Steve Burton. It’s like she shows up and things are better. Maybe they should put a headshot of her in the corner of the screen all the time, instead of the network logo.
Mallory (10:09:45 PM): OMG, I meant to tell you that I found my copy of Robin's Diary--I am going to have to post excerpts on the blog
Becca (10:10:06 PM): There is something called Robin's Diary?
Mallory (10:10:28 PM): It's her "diary" she kept during her relationship with Stone. Angsty stuff!
Becca (10:10:41 PM): You are a soap crazy!
Mallory (10:10:50 PM): I got it when I was 12!
Becca (10:10:58 PM): Wait, Lulu can see that Maxie is unconscious. Why is she calling her?
Mallory (10:11:09 PM): I think we answered that question earlier when we decided she was a dumb, smug brat
Becca (10:11:33 PM): But there's dumb, and then there's, like, the dog we had growing up that used to walk into walls.
Becca (10:11:39 PM): At least he had inbreeding to blame.
Becca (10:13:07 PM): Why didn't Lulu call 911 in the time it took her to stare at Logan's incoming call and make a call to the motionless girl on the floor?
Mallory (10:14:28 PM): Seriously, I know that there's some sort of stupid gene running around the Spencer family (see: Lucky, for many, many months), but that was just ridiculously implausible. The writers don't even care anymore
Becca (10:15:06 PM): Why do we still care?
Becca (10:15:27 PM): Why can I not commit to so much as a houseplant, but I cannot give up this horrible show?
Mallory (10:15:39 PM): I think the medical term is "suckers"
Becca (10:15:51 PM): Don't get all technical on me.
Mallory (10:16:04 PM): I really like how the show gets all artsy when it comes to lingering closeups on an unconscious 85 pound girl
Becca (10:16:28 PM): It really does make me feel queasy; same thing when they did that close-up of zipping Georgie into the body bag.
Becca (10:16:36 PM): Who the eff is Lulu calling now?
Becca (10:16:43 PM): Is 9-1-1 so difficult?
Mallory (10:17:03 PM): I know, is she just randomly texting? "OMG Nik, Crazy stuff happening! Call me l8r"
Becca (10:17:07 PM): Okay, Lulu looks like Bam Bam right now with that club
Becca (10:17:37 PM): Did Logan just punch through the secured front door of a luxury condo?
Mallory (10:17:52 PM): I think he just did.
Mallory (10:18:06 PM): How much do you think Josh Duhon hated himself during the day this was filmed?
Becca (10:18:17 PM): The poor guy. I know we coined the whole "brutally hot" thing (and by "coined" I mean, "as with most things, ripped off from Clueless"), but I never thought the show would make that adverb literal.
Mallory (10:19:17 PM): I think Claudia gets called a tramp more often than we call Jason Thompson hot
Becca (10:19:59 PM): Mal, she was clearly "putting her stuff out on display" by being 16 and cute, making it totally okay for daddy's poor "sucker" of a grown-ass lawyer to have sex with her. Trampy trampyness!
Becca (10:20:20 PM): Are you new to this show or something?
Mallory (10:21:19 PM): I must be! I am finding Sonny to be almost bearable right now. My head hurts
Becca (10:21:40 PM): I'm totally digging him right now. I think Maurice Benard just genuinely smiled. Kimberly McCullough just made him do something he hasn't since Friends was on the air.
Mallory (10:22:34 PM): I know that I spent most of my life ranting against the violence against women on this show, but right now, I really want to see Jason drag Carly out of his penthouse by her hair
Becca (10:23:54 PM): Seconded. Or just smother her with one of his hundred leather jackets. Speaking of how much I hate her, did Carly just say Kate bought her career on her back? Because Carly has so much money independent of the men she's married?
Mallory (10:24:41 PM): I really do like Laura Wright and think she'd be fun to have a beer with, but between the screaming and that horrible, awful face she makes that is all "What? How dare you just say that to me?"...I sometimes have to leave the room when Carly is on
Becca (10:26:25 PM): Yeah, I like Laura Wright but I think I hate Carly more than Sonny and Jason combined at this point. The writers' insane affection for Carly is completely baffling. If they wrote her as an obvious harpy that everyone only barely tolerates it would be one thing -- and my Laura Wright affection could win out -- but they write her like everyone actually thinks she's this amazing person. Which....no. She's not. She's the opposite of amazing, with a side of STFU.
Becca (10:27:32 PM): BTW, that look that Carly gets when someone dares call her on her shit is exactly the look my dog gives me when I use the "not for dog" command about people food.
Mallory (10:30:13 PM): These scenes with Claudia and her father actually turn my stomach. And not just because of Anthony's bowling shirt
Becca (10:30:39 PM): So if Trevor had "forced himself on [Claudia] in any way," Anthony would have killed him. But Trevor was a man in his, what, 40s? And Claudia was 16. The writers want me to hate Anthony in this situation, right? Not Claudia?
Becca (10:31:22 PM): Where the fuck did Logan get an ax from?!
Mallory (10:32:13 PM): Seriously, is there a random stash of weapons hidden in the hallway, just in case they are needed?
Becca (10:32:27 PM): Maybe you can buy them on the corner now, like carnations and Kate Spade knockoffs?
Becca (10:32:50 PM): He should have bought that lock-picking kit in the next kiosk over. Fewer splinters.
Mallory (10:34:17 PM): Maybe he is a big fan of Jack Nicholson in The Shining?
Becca (10:35:27 PM): You know Guza thinks Jack is the hero in that movie.
Mallory (10:36:11 PM): I always respond well to orders when people put their hands over my mouth
Becca (10:36:28 PM): This shit is so disturbing, no joke. This show is broken.
Mallory (10:36:45 PM): Honestly, isn't this supposed to be entertainment?
Becca (10:37:01 PM): And did the idiots who run/ruin this show even consider the timing of this Logan ridiculousness? Happy birthday, America! We got you yet another misogynistic, physically abusive veteran!
Mallory (10:37:51 PM): What is Guza's fixation with veterans being criminals? That's not right
Becca (10:38:09 PM): There is growth with respect to how he writes vets, though: Connor=rapist, Cody=mentally unbalanced with rage issues, Coop=possible murderer, and Logan=mentally unbalanced with rage issues AND possible murderer AND possible rapist.
Becca (10:38:14 PM): Progress!
Mallory (10:38:25 PM): "I'm sorry about the door, I didn't have a choice" Um...there are always choices that don't involve axes
Mallory (10:40:41 PM): Can you imagine being friends with Carly? I mean, I don't like Jason, but...he's a hitman. Can't he just..,.do the things that he does? Then at least his reputation as the Port Charles messiah would be deserved
Becca (10:41:53 PM): Offing her might be the first of his hits I could support. BTW, Jason just totally called Carly on her wanting Jax to find out about the Limo Sex and she displayed yet another look that my dog gives me, namely the "Who me?! Why no, it must have been the teenager next door who ate your garbage! I'm hurt." one. I am enjoying her Labrador repertoire this evening.
Mallory (10:42:47 PM): Her character would be so much more tolerable if we were supposed to see her as a total sociopath, and not the heroine of the show.
Becca (10:43:35 PM): But then the heroine would have to be a Quartermaine, or something, and the world would end.
Becca (10:43:45 PM): This toddler in the Brawny commercial who just dumped his milk on the floor and rolled in it? Smarter than Lulu.
Mallory (10:44:31 PM): Inanimate objects are smarter than Lulu
Becca (10:45:19 PM): HOLY SHIT, did Logan just blame his behavior on Iraq? Why is someone allowed to be a professional writer and get away with this nonsense?
Mallory (10:45:53 PM): I know I shouldn't expect anything from the show that routinely pulls storyline conclusions out of their ass, but...where did Logan's stalker behavior come from? He was pretty mellow after the coma, wasn't he? And then he disappeared for months and came back all crazy crackers?
Becca (10:46:18 PM): It's like they had 24 hours notice Duhon was leaving the show, or something. It's out of nowhere.
Mallory (10:47:14 PM): This show is insanely manipulative, by the way, using Kimberly McCullough and the memory of Stone to make me give a damn about anything Sonny is going through
Becca (10:47:28 PM): Bastards.
Mallory (10:47:29 PM): Whatev, show! You're not going to get me! I've been burned too many times
Becca (10:48:06 PM): I'm just going to go watch Stone’s last episode in retaliation, to remind me of how good this show used to be. Not that I have that ep on Tivo from the Robin marathon months ago, or anything.
Mallory (10:48:36 PM): Okay, we need to talk later about Jason and Robin Part I, because I LOVED them and I don't feel like their awesomeness is properly recognized
Becca (10:49:28 PM): Oh thank god, I was going to tiptoe around that because I know how much you hate Jason now, but I freaking loved them together. Before Jason got all robotic and murder-y, or at least before he got that way full time.
Mallory (10:50:33 PM): They were amazing!! And I'm still livid that Guza pissed all over the memories of that relationship with the wretched Jason/Carly/Robin cottage storyline
Becca (10:51:22 PM): But pissing all over history and ruining your memories of how good GH has the potential to be is what he does, Mal. Don't hate, appreciate.
Mallory (10:52:56 PM): I guess you're right. He IS good at certain things. Killing off so many legacy characters in such a short amount of time really does take talent
Becca (10:54:13 PM): Truly, why can he not just write them off without killing them? Georgie could have gone to study abroad, Emily could have joined Doctors Without Borders . . . why kill them all off so definitively?
Mallory (10:54:28 PM): Oh my god, tell me that Jax/Kate thing with the zany "It looks like a blowjob!" pose did not just happen
Mallory (10:54:49 PM): Because I'm pretty sure I saw that on an episode of Three's Company. And it was not funny or entertaining then.
Becca (10:54:54 PM): And the Claudia/Sonny thing...?
Becca (10:55:38 PM): Why have Maxie and Johnny also not called 911? Why are these people so dumb?!
Mallory (10:55:44 PM): Okay, Maxie was just brutally attacked and not a hair is out of place. What the hell kind of hairspray does she use?
Becca (10:56:08 PM): Do not give this show any more product placement ideas. Need I remind you of the Campbell's fiascos?
Becca (10:57:13 PM): I think Lulu just killed Logan.
Mallory (10:57:41 PM): I know I say it so often that these words no longer have any meaning, but: this show is awful
Becca (10:58:03 PM): It truly is.
Becca (10:58:40 PM): And even if the rumors that he was a bit difficult on set are true (and his interview in the latest SOD seems to give some credence to that), I feel bad for Josh Duhon. I mean, you get cast as the kid of Scotty Baldwin, who among other things is the interloper in the Luke and Laura saga, and you must think you're set, at least for a little while.
Mallory (10:59:40 PM): Seriously. Remember the days when he had a promising romance with Lulu? And then Logan and Lulu got together and broke up in the span of half an hour before he got cast aside for the new kid in town
Becca (11:00:11 PM): My pedicures last longer than that relationship did.
Becca (11:01:21 PM): Damn, and The Daily Show is a rerun. This day just keeps getting worse.

Thanks for the play-by-play, ladies. It made that awful episode so much better. I agree that Lulu is the dumbest person alive and Logan was wasted as a character.
Posted by: Mandy | July 08, 2008 at 07:01 AM
Yes, thanks for the recap. Further confirms why I have no desire to watch right now. Thanks for taking one for the team.
Posted by: zarathelawyer | July 08, 2008 at 07:47 AM
My dog keeps staring at the screen in disbelief as Lulu "screams"...It's like he's asking why I would watch a show that so totally hates women.
Posted by: heather | July 08, 2008 at 08:38 AM
What amazes me is that this show still has viewers left. I can't understand no matter how loyal one is to a show, actor, or character, how anyone, especially women, can find this enjoyable or entertaining and are not outraged. Do women enjoy seeing women abused and portrayed as brainless hussies or gutter trash? Do viewers enjoy Guza's continued political statements against the war and our noble countrymen by continuing to trash one Iraqi vet after another. And this show was awarded an emmy for a sweeps story that did nothing but reinforce the shoving around and abuse of women. Well I'm not watching and that's about the best I can do. I pity the young viewers of this show who have this as a shining example of 'quality' daytime entertainment.
Posted by: Colleen | July 08, 2008 at 09:27 AM
that was awesome thanks so much for the laughs. you summed up what everyone was thinking about this vile show. im convinced carly ruined sonny, b/c before hate sex he was tolerable. rmember him with robin, brenda and stone. Guza does piss all over everything that the Labine's created. Did you see the NS2 promo on you tube. it already looks amazing. probably b/c this time guza and jfp have nothing to do with it
Posted by: natty3 | July 08, 2008 at 10:19 AM
If I thought Guza realized and/or cared that the audience largely hates Lulu...I would venture a guess that instead of going his usual route of using sexual violence against a female character to make us stop hating her, he decided to have her kill someone who was attacking her. Cause I remember how great it went over when Emily did that......people totally stopped capping on her then.
I'd wonder if this show realizes "justifiable homicide" is a real legal term....and not just something they made up to get Jason out of jail all the time?
Posted by: Beth R. | July 08, 2008 at 10:32 AM
This was hilarious, and painfully true. I think I said to myself, "Why is Lulu not calling 911" about a million times during yesterday's episode. Too dumb to live. And yeah, way to go on your portrayal of Iraq vets, SHOW.
I too loved Robin/Jason Part 1 even though I don't like him now. I'd love to see you guys revisit that. (And Robin's Diary, too!)
Posted by: Dia | July 08, 2008 at 10:58 AM
I can't be more in agreement with that whole post ladies. BRAVO.
How does KMcC make MB and SB human, and heaven forgive me, watchable? She must be a witch or something w/ magical powers!
Lulu has a lower IQ than stuffed and mounted deer heads.
Guza kills off legacy characters instead of writing them a real farewell story sending them off camera for a while so he can bring them back someday as evil dopplegangers who rape at will etc... Is anyone else terrified of his self proclaimed brilliant idea to bring Natalia back someday. He mentioned it in all the mags, as did Natalia. OY, like ghost Tumily wasn't painful enough.
Carly's fury over a lame kiss between Jax and Kate is a joke right? I mean she did bang Sonny in that slimy limo and keep it a secret. Carly is as offensive to my ears w/ the screeching and crazy talk as her expressions are to my eyes. She hurts me, her offensive self gives me physical pain.
Statutory rape, how romantic. VOMIT. And Claudia was obviously born nutso. Commit all the Z's, make it a Sanitarium Sitcom Spinoff!
Posted by: Sarah | July 08, 2008 at 10:59 AM
Once again ladies, you have me LMAO. You summed up this epi/show perfectly. Awww....Robin/Stone/Sonny(1.0)/Brenda/Jason M.(1.0)....
The good ol' days..*sigh*
Yep, I LOVED Jason M.&Robin part1, as well.
That gotdamn Guza!!!!
Posted by: Jennifer | July 08, 2008 at 11:24 AM
OMG, ladies, thank you so much for that. Logan was indeed a "brutally hot" character who was completely wasted by this effin' show. I actually liked him and Lulu together back when Lulu was at least marginally tolerable. It just pisses me off that TPTB at General Hospital feel compelled to kill off a character whenever one leaves the show. Where's the creativity in that? Coop and Logan could have easily been recalled to Iraq (you know, veterans actually being shown as dedicated protectors of their country instead of crazy psychos) instead of both being brutally murdered. And the Claudia/Anthony scenes? Absolutely appalling. I hate this show.
Posted by: Hillary | July 08, 2008 at 11:27 AM
.....
SO glad I stopped watching this show. The writers' treatment of Sarah Brown is enough to make me puke - not to mention the absurd violence, slapstick "humor," and overzealous murders all around. Good. GOD. What an awful, awful farce of a soap this has become. They could market it a lot better and make money selling it as fetish porn for violence junkies.
Posted by: Val | July 08, 2008 at 11:29 AM
I cant imagine the courage you ladies have, watching the episodes faithfully. You brave, brave women.
And I have a copy of Robin's Diary. And I loved it. So awesome.
So....Logan is attacking woman and being a general bad guy. How is it that Jason and Sonny can beat up and man-handle women like faith and claudia, yet are deemed heroes? What distingushes one killer from another?
Posted by: midnight_tiptoes | July 08, 2008 at 11:35 AM
midnight_tiptoes-
I beleive what distingushes Jason and Sonny from the bad bad guys such as Diego, Logan, Connor is the halo they wear around their heads....and the choir of angels that desends when they HAVE to resort to violence to "protect their families". Why those other guys did violence just for violence sake and that is clearly WRONG! Sonny and Jason always always have good solid reasons behind their violence!
Posted by: Beth R. | July 08, 2008 at 11:50 AM
OMG!!! You mean I missed Sonny saying a complete sentence???? Seriously???!!! Without any stammers, ummm, ohhh, or ANYTHING?
That alone almost makes me almost - and I mean almost - regret having stopped watch the show. Like I almost regret not drinking the hemlock when Patrick said "my baby's mamma".....
Posted by: CHIgirl2112 | July 08, 2008 at 12:00 PM
Becca (10:43:45 PM): This toddler in the Brawny commercial who just dumped his milk on the floor and rolled in it? Smarter than Lulu.
I almost spat out my coffee reading this. You guys are hilarious!!
Posted by: | July 08, 2008 at 12:02 PM
I haven't like Logan in a long time, but I still don't think this was a fitting ending for him. Also, like every other soap gave us happy 4th of July scenes, but GH just gave us the usual murder and misogyny.
I thought they were going to go with Anthony molesting Claudia but him condemning her for sleeping with Trevor when she was sixteen was equally disgusting. It's a waste of Sarah Brown, not to mention the hilarious Bruce Weitz.
The Robin & Sonny scene was a bittersweet reminder of days past, when I actually kind of liked Sonny and LOVED Robin. Oh, times how they have changed...
Posted by: Mar | July 08, 2008 at 01:03 PM
I only read your recap and I want to take a shower. EWWW. *The Show That Was Once GH* is just completely awful...so glad I quit last year.
But thanks, you guys...this blog was truly hilarious. Don't need to watch - your stuff is way way WAY better than *TSTWOGH*.
I can't believe they killed LOGAN...he's Scotty SON!? IDIOTS!!!!

Colleen, I hope you don't mind if I put a "ditto" on this and co-sign. Brilliant! :)
Thanks, ladies. You truly are generous to take one for the team for the rest of us who are too beaten down to continue.
Posted by: Beth | July 08, 2008 at 01:55 PM
Huh, maybe Josh Duhon was "difficult" on set because he saw what a piece of crap show he was working on.
And Guza needs to be strung up by his gonads for writing an Iraq war veteran the way he did. My husband is a veteran and I've yet to have him break down the damn door.
Posted by: Vicki | July 08, 2008 at 02:35 PM
And I think Lulu is retarded. Did Luke drop her on her head?
Posted by: Vicki | July 08, 2008 at 02:36 PM
Logan's not dead. Helena's going to fake his death with an injection of a death-mimicking potion and spirit him away to a distant tropical island. Along with Emily, Georgie and AJ.
What's that you say? LA LA LA LA LA, I CAN'T HEAR YOU. Leave me in my happy place, please.
In other news, perhaps someone should inform Guza that just because the Iraq *War* is unpopular doesn't mean that everyone loathes the soldiers serving in said war. He seems to have missed the memo.
Posted by: marion | July 08, 2008 at 03:34 PM
Carly and Lulu are just horrible and should have no association with the Spencer family ever again. Seriously, Bobbie and Luke should kick their butts and disown them for sheer stupidity. At least when Lucky's a moron it's because he's on drugs or the writers are making him look stupid to make Jason look better.
Robin Strasser (Dorian, OLTL) is my absolute favorite person in the universe for her quote in the recent SOD about GH's best show win, "It's just odd." Yeah we know and feel the same, only a little less polite. And the story about Bryan Dattilo making their win into an actual joke, hysterical!!
Posted by: Cate | July 08, 2008 at 04:56 PM
Seriously, the murder of a guy whose been on the show for less than 18 months merits a real-time chat session? Seriously? I can't believe you consider Logan to be legacy!
Posted by: jbjz | July 08, 2008 at 05:09 PM
Sorry, I do not have now, nor did I ever have, any use for the character of Logan, nor do I think he is even lukewarm, much less brutally hot. His eyes are too close together and look perpetually crossed. He looks like a cartoon in Mad Magazine. Seriously! Look at a pic of him and then Mad Magazine!
I also met Josh Duhon at a fan event (the only one I've ever been to, and it's only because it was 10 min. from my house) that was also attended by Julie Marie Berman and Bradford Anderson.
First, JMB was CHARMING, DELIGHTFUL and GORGEOUS! I would rather have painful boils than watch Lulu right now - yes, I hate her that much - but JMB is a joy. Bradford is more fun than a barrel of monkeys. LOVE HIM.
Josh Duhon sat there like he was perpetually constipated. VOID of any personality. Not a fun guy and not particularly nice. At the time, I chalked it up to the fact that he hadn't been on the show that long and perhaps was intimidated by the Lulu/Spin fans in attendance.
Now I just think he was a dick. Sorry ladies!
Posted by: Rene' | July 08, 2008 at 06:59 PM
That was supposed to be, "I DO NOT NOW" not "I do not HAVE now." Logan is screwing with my grammar....
Posted by: Rene' | July 08, 2008 at 06:59 PM
Bravo, ladies...well said and i agree with everything but one thing. What do you mean the "once" brutally hot Josh Duhon. Ladies, he's always Brutally Hot. that sexy ain't going nowhere!
Have I mentioned I hate this sorry excuse for daytime drama?
Posted by: Kat | July 08, 2008 at 09:19 PM
Let me second the gratitude for you both watching this nightmare and reporting back. And I am so glad that Dorian Strasser made a comment about the GH win, I mean, no kidding!
Posted by: Kat (another one) | July 08, 2008 at 09:46 PM
Wow..I guess I have really low expectations for a show because I actually like GH. Of course this is coming from an exiled Days fan who has only been watching the show for a week but I also have really low expectations. Plus misogyny is very popular in Salem so I'm kind of used to it.
I have to admit that I don't like any of the female characters except for....um.. yeah..I'll get back to you on that...But the men of GH definitely make it worth watching.

I was so enraged about this episode that I had to write a rant on the GH message board. Here's the link if anyone wants to see. http://abc.go.com/daytime/generalhospital/mb/index?pn=mb&cat=15343&tid=406127

Colleen, word up. Amiejayne, read & loved your rant.
Does anybody have a body count on GH for the last 12 months? I dare say there have been more deaths than love scenes on this show in the last year. Forget "Hawaii Five-O", "Strike Force" and "C.S.I." -- General Hospital is the most violent show on television.
I hate this effing show!
