Here are my picks for GH character that need a break. I mean an 'off the canvas' break.
1) Sonny. Predictable, boring, and is not held accountable for actions. 1 year.
2) Jason. Same as sonny...1 year.
3) Carly. While Laura is faboo, we have been badgered. She needs the loony bin for at least 6 months, then we need to see her grow.
4) Spinelli. WAY too over the top. 6 months to a year, with a slow re-introductio.
5) Claudia. too cartoonish. Needs a couple of months in Milan to refocus the character.
Not advocating that any of these actors lose their jobs. What I would like to see is that life move forward, and these characters come back and jump in and deal with life.
What do you think??
OMG I love Spinelli and he and Maxi together are sooo funny I would hate to see him go. I now speak fluent Spinelli (as Dillion said once)
I think its Robin and Patrick we need a break from. Theyre relationship is ridiculous, when one give in the other one plays stubborn and vice versa back and forth and once i a while in between they have sex. enough already
Please, writers do something with Robin & Patrick. They are about to become parents of a baby, they should be acting like adults instead of 2 yr. olds. Their storyline is ridiculous. Like some of the other storylines. Carly has blown it, she acts like a 2 yr. old also. I could go on forever, but just hope this show can survive.
Well they can just take a vacation spend time with family/friends pursue other projects...I dont' want anyone fired during these harsh economic times.Sonny doesn't bother me (its the mob everyday so since he and Jason are "mob" then its tricky. I walk the line with this one..I don't see the necessity of him being on everydayI adore Steve and can look at him everyday, all day. But also, I've been waiting since JJ's Lucky left for him to hook with Elzabeth but I must confess sitting around eating pepperoni pizza with a rival who has been instructed to kill him and babysitting the "one tree hill OC" crew doesn't exude what a top mob enforcer mob kingpin should be doing...meaning he should have better things to do...he either is looking at Carly's Preg stick or in in scenes he doesn't need to be in saying "I gotta go I'm gonna fix this, I've got to fix this" The Mr. Fix it has played out for me...its "how" he is scribed that has always bothered me the most....he should be scribed more with Monica they have gone through serious family attrition yet they won't scribe him away from Sonny or Carly he's like their appendage...its sad I've had ten years of him being their lap dog he never has a storyline that doesn't get hijacked by Carly or Sonny...Carly needs to be away from Jason and stop the "my best friend chant its used in her dialog way too much and she seems retarded or like a parrot on crack. She's married. 4) Spinelli talks too much being in a hitman's / mob kingpin's house he tells all his secrets as soon as Jason tells him not to (immediately if not sooner) to Maxi this makes Jason a cartoon mob lord somebody needs to move across the hall to Sonny's old PH. Its been empty for a very long time.5) Claudia. way too much airtime. She's hogged up so much air other stories cant play out. If I hear her say Daddy isn't going to kill any kids "are you daddy?" one more time, I think I'm going to hurl. Here are my picks for an 'off the canvas' break LuLu, Nadine, Claudia, mob takes a holiday and I have a "sweeping romance storyline" for just one sweep, not mob villan coming to town, please....I like Johnny but I don't like him a packaged deal with LuLu so I was hoping he would be defined outside of LuLu who else... my last one would have to be the Spin I've had enough I can use the rest. I am a B.A. fan but his airtime has been way too much for me lately. I find myself leaving the screen to wash dishes.However a lot of his scenes to me seem just to serve plot points for others and I don't need plot points for this show...it hinders them getting to the "main point" they have way too many,.so he can go to his MySpace page and blog for awhile...
1. Spinelli2. Lulu3. Sonny4. Jason5. Carly
Quote: However a lot of his scenes to me seem just to serve plot points for others and I don't need plot points for this show That proves my main point...it's all plot and no character-driven drama.
Paul--Has there really been any character-driven drama at all in the last few years? I haven't really seen a story good enough to watch in a while. I have hope with Ms. Francis being back for a little while, but it's really a story about Lulu.
Remember the old Alka-seltzer comercial? Here is an updated version;Plot, Plot...Fizzz Fizzz
Sonny, Kate, Jason, Carly, Claudia, Lulu, Johnny. I Got 7!
There Are Other People On The Show Besides These Repetative Ones
CARLY, she drives me insane I can't even read about her on here anymore.Patrick and Robin, They drive me crazy too, its been the same old with them for monthsKate-Cant' stand her periodLulu-She always has a drama
I'd say Liz. I like her but she has been unrecognizable lately. Kate- she is very boring
Top 3 characters who I need to break from:1. Jason--he doesn't need to be in every s/l+his toughness takes a hit each time he plays babysitter to all the teens of PC2. Liz--OMG get her annoying whiney butt off the screen before I scream3. Spinelli-He was amusing when he 1st came on but OMG he doesn't need to be on everyday sprouting non-sense. Either give BA a vacation or duct-tape Spin's mouth shut for a week or 2

I was sitting here yesterday watching and I have to agree with those. Sonny needs a break. The character is stale right now. Jason is exactly the same way. I love Laura Wright (she IS Carly), but wow! Carly is an awesome character, but it's time to either 1) give the character a rest or 2) to recapture what Jax and her have because they should be the only ones in a happy, healthy relationship. Poor Spinelli. I loved him when he first came on. Maybe it was because he wasn't the "typical" character, but now that he's trying to be Stone Cold, UGH! Unless Sarah Brown starts infusing this character with some compassion, she could actually go and not come back. I never liked this character really, but I could tolerate her. Another one that can just completely go away for me is KATE! OMG! I'm to the point of seriously hating her and FF through her and Sonny. Enough with the "I'm going to get Carly back because I'm a low person too and petty."
