You know, it's funny. We went to war never looking to come back, but it's the real world I couldn't survive.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I feel that we should talk GH here.

Yessssss. For I loathe soap trials and am not yet convinced on the new Michael (I think the last actor was awful only because of the terrible writing) but I am having Corinthos issues of, "Hi, show, hi."
One day? I am really going to break up with this show. But not now.

Cornithos being the new Quartermaine for, um, the last fifteen-twenty years and thus just a byword for the GH shenanigans.
Dude, MB has played Sonny since 1993... That seems like so much less time than it really was.

GH and I never broke up, per se, but grew apart about twenty years ago (how have I gotten old enough to casually mention something happening twenty year ago?), and have lived quietly estranged lives since then. Really, I think we never got over the halcyon days of the early 80s, and since then have continued on fond memories alone.

I'm really needing to break up entirely with GH. I got drawn back in by Lucky, but while I like watching him, his storyline is boring the crap out of me.
Reserving judgment on the new Michael and wondering if they switched actors because they intend to do something interesting with the character that the other guy couldn't pull off.

Man, I haven't watched GH since my junior year in high school. The girl who sat in front of me in English and I used to talk about the show every day. How we loved Tom and Simone. I wonder whatever happened to them.

Our wings are not tired.
I would happily talk GH, but I am more than a week behind due to moving and general craziness. Haven't seen the new Michael yet, but never got into the old one.
Watching soap trials makes me crazy. I can only imagine how anyone involved in law or court procedure would manage. Everything about the trial to the point I am at has made me nuts. I don't buy the prosecutor at all, must be a friend of TPTB. I'm used to soap absurdity, but the trial antics are worse than usual.
I don't know when I'll get caught up. I need a day or two off.

My exact thoughts. The prosecutor, her relationship to Jax, putting kids on the stand...etc. Ergh.
I'm also not loving the pseudo resolution of the Christina/Keefer saga.
In fact, except for Michael Learned showing up as a sassy old lady, none of the storylines are grabbing me.
