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.

Oh the prosecutor is awful but I ff the trial stuff. It is strengthening my "I really hate Jax" resolve though.

I'm holding off deciding on the Christina/Keefer stuff only because if they make it informational enough, well it's for a good cause.

I was kinda intrigued when Michael killed Claudia because, wow, that could have gotten interesting. Sadly, I was too optimistic and just want it over.

I really need to break up with this show for good. Or at least just read recaps so I can have the 20 minutes of my life that skipping through the show takes free.

That is the only thing that makes me tolerate it, although it is mostly FF material. Behind the rest of you, but the dad creeps me out big time.

Although I am behind, I still enjoy it enough to keep watching. I watch during lunch or when I am too tired to read before bed. It purges my mind of my daily stresses, helps me relax and unwind. It is a choice between GH or pot so I probably made the better choice for now since I do have teenagers living at home.

I just figured out why they hired the new Michael on GH. 1) Can act, 2) Michael is now a sympathetic character, which, given the psychopathic build up they'd given him, could not have been pulled off otherwise.

I was momentarily excited about this turn of events, but now they are turning the younger kids against Dante again. Blegh.

I've decided that the show is trying everything it can to get me to stop watching for a while. And it's working.

Yep.

It's all going so slowly...which, okay, soap. But all of the storylines seem to be whinier than ever. More whine, less story.

After seeing Rena Sofer on Bones the other day, I realized how much I missed fun characters like Lois and Ned and the Qs. (And Lucy... so much fun, but she could bring on the drama when needed.)

I haven't followed GH for several years now. Every once in awhile I'll catch an episode, but it seems to be the same thing every single time... Sonny, Sonny, Sonny. I really think they need to just kill him off to get the show back on track.

Well they are demonizing Sonny pretty hardcore these days. Frankly, I like the character but I am starting to dislike watching. They've written themselves into so many corners and can't seem to get out. So they recast. And then seem shocked when that doesn't magically change what they wrote.

I miss Rena Sofer too. This is why uploaded clips on YouTube are our friends.

I totally agree. Corners, they have been painted into.

Even the Christina storyline seems cast in stone. The educational aspect of it has been lost completely and now it's being shunted off into a murder trial. Ack.

The repetition of 'it's not your fault' is getting uber-grating.

You know. Ima declare it here. We're through GH. It was fun for little while but I'm just not fulfilled anymore. There are plenty of others who will worship at your altar of mediocrity. For me? No more!

I'm going to count on the faithful in this thread to let me know if I'm missing anything good.

Cheers.
