So I've been catching up on some GH and why do I care about the teen stories more than the others? WHY?? I HATE teen stories but right now I'de rather watch the teens than most other s/l's. Also (and I know I'm going to get some things hulred at me for this one) I LOVE Robin and Patrick together. I do. They somehow are clicking for me and it's scaring me. I find myself wanting more of them (ducking). So I ask you, what the hell is wrong with me!!!?!?!

i loved robin when she was little. i hated her when she came back. i think the writers softened her up - she's not bitchy and grumpy all the time. she's laughing, showing real emotion - more like the robin i remember. so i guess i can admit this out loud. i like them, too. they definetaly softened her. brought back the "old" robin and anna cracked me up today when she broke in to her apartment!!!!!!! ;D ;D
i think the teen scene on GH is popular because they are dealing with issues. not like sidney and colby cat fighting and whinning. lulu is pregnant, dillion is dillion (i always liked him) and maxie is a drug pushing slut. but they actually have SL and i'm likeing it myself!!!

LOL I love the teen story the best as well. Because it's not really a teen storyline, they are treating it as adults and acting more like adults then the real "adults" on this show.

Compared to any of them! LOL I mean Sam is being a whiney brat. Robin and Patrick bicker like kids, or at least until recently. (but I still like them) This stuff with Nikolas and Emily is just lame.
The teen storyline I like because they are not being stereotypical teens and I actually feel for all of them involved. The Sam-Ric-Jason-Liz thing, I don't care about any of them that much, I think they are all behaviour rather poorly.

The writing is good for the teens. The SLs are something we can be interested in and it's well acted!

exactly. sidney and colby are really sad. like minkie said - stereotyping. teens have real issues and problems. gh is bringing that out. BUT - how in the heck did i miss the part that ELQ made condems? ?

I think that aspect (faulty condoms) of the SL is dumb

I dunno, it doesn't bother me because it does explain why suddenly everyone's pregnant. LOL. GH at least is acknowledging that yes, they are using the same basic storyline for everyone at the moment.
Unlike AMC, which just makes everyone pregnant "by coincidence."

There's nothing wrong with you, Minkie, except for having good taste. I'm really not a fan of teen stories, but at least on GH the teen-agers are actually acting like real people with different degrees of emotions, maturity and intelligence. That gives them a thumbs-up in my opinion (except for Maxiepad - she's really living up to her disgusting nickname ). The teen-agers on AMC get a pair of giant thumbs down my throat. I haven't watched AMC since Colby showed up. And as I said in my "No More Almost Live Posts" post, I won't be watching. You guys said you would give a heads up when things got better. Oh, I'm counting on it I'm heading for my third serious break from soap operas any day now. I've already eliminated AMC and most of OLTL. GH is only still showing on my TV because I need to eat at that time. Although it's really not helping my appetite lately. I love this MB and you guys are great. But I'm thinking the shows aren't doing me much good these days. And after hearing about Dan G today, and knowing that Tuc is leaving while we still have to listen to KWAK, Babe, Spenser, Paige and Sam and Emily makes me more than happy to accept more lunch offers and watch more Netflix during the middle of the day than ever before. I keep trying to watch, but I end up drinking instead. Just kidding (about the drinking), but it's getting harder and harder to watch this dreck. I miss the days when I missed missing my soaps. Did that make any sense?

It makes total sense, I feel that way as well. I'm looking at my trip as a way of kicking my soap opera habit actually. LOL. I'll be missing over a month...I figure by then, I won't care about picking it up again.
I keep up with it to chat with all my friends but...it's basically just reading the spoilers. I only watch a few minutes if at all.

Trixie and Minkie I totally get it as do thousands who have stopped watching (yea, hundreds of thousands have stopped watching from last year) With AMC I watch only when I know for sure Rendall is on and then I ff'wd everything else. I have no clue WTF is going on outside of Rendall. I haven't watched much and as long as Babe and Zach are the main 2 this show revolves around I'll continue to miss.
GH- I like the teens and Robin and Patrick right now. While many get wrapped up in Sonny,Jason, Ric,Carly,etc I'm having a hard time and losing interest. While I thought the Alexis/Sam thing could have been interesting, it's fizzling and left me feeling sick...sick and tired of Sam mainly. So I ff'wd through alot of GH too but at least with GH I have more than 1 s/l I actually like. LOL. I get it and the ratings are telling me that you guys aren't alone at all

Yeah....I dont like the Jason-Sam-Liz-whomever storyline. I find it boring, actually. I feel horrible for alexis but man that character is getting crap and I don't care to watch that anymore either. I don't like this Jason-Liz thing at all, I hate how much they pimp Jason as the second coming of Christ and Liz has always annoyed me. Now they are "great lovers"? No thanks.
I like the teen storyline and Patrick/Robin (this is the first time in a long while Robin hasn't annoyed me. LOL). But either way I'm grateful on GH there is one or two storylines I can enjoy. On AMC...there isn't even one really.
Truthfully, the thing I like about GH is the spencers. I love Lulu and Luke, I loved Lucky except now he's apparently GH's punching bag, which totally sucks.
