i've been watching GH off and on pretty much my whole life. my BFF and i really got into it during the Karen/Jagger/Brenda triangle and then were thoroughly entrenched with the Stone/Robin storyline.
What'd you all order a dead guy for?

200k a year in LA is rolling in dough.
Yeah, I was gonna say, it ain't poor. Just because cost of living is sky high in LA doesn't mean salaries are high enough to match.

I loved that one! And then Brenda and Sonny! (GH always had the cutest gangsters-see Duke) And then Brenda ended up on 90210! Er, not as "Brenda" though; as Donnas ice skater cousin.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
I never forgave them for the prometheus disc.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
It is deeply amusing to me that discussion of the writers strike is bringing soaps back on topic in this thread.
Also, how much money is currently being made has absolutely nothing to do with the issue at hand. It's not about big or small, it's about receiving payment for services already rendered.
When Arby's started selling mozzarella sticks in addition to curly fries, nobody told the fry cook that he'd only get paid for the hours he put in working on curly fries, because they weren't sure how well the mozzarella sticks were going to sell or if people would like them or want them as part of their value meals or separately or what. Dude fries things. Arby's sells them. I eat them. I give them money for the privilege. Dude should be able to expect a paycheck for his work.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Liese, I love that analogy and want to marry it and have its metaphorical little babies.

What JZ said. I've already repeated it to two other people.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
That was pretty awesome. Kristen used to do these analogies using N'SYNC.

Agreed, my reaction to the comment about salaries actually had nothing to do with the strike. It pushed one of my buttons, the NOT-everyone-in-LA-is-rich-and-works-in-The-Industry button.

A little while ago someone asked me what I did for a living and I heard myself say, "I'm in the movie business..." then I started babbling, "oh god, no, I'm not. I work in a movie theatre. Totally different thing, why did I say that? It's like everyone in LA works in the movie business. I work for a distributor..." Until they took mercy on me and changed the subject.
