Sting, Sun, Dancing in the Street, and OLTL: GH Sinks and We All Soar

So, I was walking the dog  down the street this morning, listening to Sting, and pretending to be playing with the pooch when I was, in fact, dancing. I was doing that “let’s run” when I was actually getting into “After the Rain Has Fallen”. You know, hide the dancing in the playful run with the excited pet. Well, maybe you don’t. But, I digress.

 I was thinking about how I could get my girlfriends to go see Sting with me this summer. As I walked by the local concert venue which will be presenting Mr. Sumner, I was plotting. We’re middle aged broads. All middle aged broads love Sting- or they have no taste. Well, maybe some. Or they lie. Whatever, I was thinking I’d have more luck getting them to see Sting than Jackson Browne. I’m turned down for him every year. Sigh.

But it was a perfect Chicago day- sunny, 70 degrees, just perfect May. I just put my last house on the market and every weekend I move more stuff out to the beach. As soon as the beast sells, I’m off to the Beach forever. I’m even thinking of changing my name to Addison Cougar Mellencamp, as I’ll be a resident of Indiana, and being a good ‘80’s child, it seems fitting. Hell, I even want to paint the house pink. Yeah, I said it, “pink houses for you and me”. Want to say something about it?  I’m letting my ‘80’s freak flag fly for reals.

So, things aren’t all bad for once and I was excited to watch AMC at Noon, as I always did, and OLTL to follow. And I can’t even begin to say how amazing OLTL is right now. I hasten to use the word “perfect”, but it’s damn close. AMC, yeah, needs Martins, but OLTL is FUCKING AWESOME!! Just to continue the ‘80’s theme here.

But, now the good feeling  is on hold for the moment. I’m only writing on this because I was asked to do so. Really, I think it’s so stupid, it seems unnecessary to add to the hysterical commentary from others. But, because it was addressed to me specifically, I’ll say a few  words. However, I’m too happy right now to let these idiots ruin it and I also think that any discussion is giving it way more attention than it deserves.

GH’s “new” characters look stupid, the actors are going to be laughed at and mocked mercilessly, and, as always, Peter Bergman is right. ABC should be embarrassed. See his wonderful interview in Time Magazine here.

I long ago stopped expecting any semblance of class from those Twats at ABC. Since they give no indication of having any respect for their audience or their programming, I feel no need to give them any.  I, therefore, feel justified in calling them names, mocking them at every turn, and blasting their collective asses at every opportunity. The mindless drivel they shovel out as “entertainment” programming, the dismissive attitude toward their audience, and the underhanded bitch tactics employed by this “regime” prove me right. And with Bergman’s backing, I feel more justified than ever.

The pomposity of those assholes at GH thinking that they have any right to claim to be “saving” a genre when they are only saving themselves and attempting to sabotage the real rescue attempt,  is only one more example of ABC’s shameless behavior. Thankfully, they’re being called to task on it- in court. It literally makes me sick that they have the nerve to think that they’re even in the same league with people working to preserve some quality, muchless a genre. Really, Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum should be run out on a rail. 

I’m not going to go after the actors as I’m not interested in demeaning them but they look thoroughly moronic in this situation. Okay, maybe I’ll demean them a little. 

I know that Howarth is playing both sides of the fence here and that may be a smart business move. He wants to be sure that OLTL works before he lets go of a gig. Also, it would seem that OLTL is a part time job anyway, being five weeks on and five off. And, let’s get real.  GH is so horrific it can’t be around long. This is a temp job. I wonder if he had to take a typing test before he started? But, again, me, digressing.

GH is imploding and all the blame is on the “creative” team. They killed GH but PP will save it….well, some semblance of it.

I  have to admit that when I was emailed the promo yesterday, I was in a classroom, having students working on a last project. I wanted to see it so I watched it on the computer without the sound. I burst out in laughter. The students asked what was so funny and I didn’t tell them. But I was laughing from that moment, laughed at various times during the day, and couldn’t stop. I still laugh thinking about it.

WTH???

 I knew that these two morons had lost their minds, but this is proof. Have they listened to one thing their audience is saying? Have they not gotten it yet? Besides the broads who just want to see Easton make out with Monaco or the ones who drool over Howarth’s middle aged ass no matter what he does, who’s interested in this? I don’t get it. 

I know I was in the forefront of the “burn it down” agenda with GH as it was a loser. I own that. I also still think it- now more than ever. This is a disaster. GH was a mess when they got it. Now, it’s worse. And soon….well, look out.  It’s coming.

Easton and Howarth only have particular sets of fans that are interested, as far as I can tell. Both seem to just want to see them, no matter what. Okay. But what’s the point in alienating all the rest of the GH fans by doing this? Let’s see who’s now pissed off at these idiots:

Jasam fans, Liason fans, Luke and Laura fans, Scrubs fans, Lante fans, Frisco and Felicia fans, Duke and Anna fans, Sonny fans, SNB fans, Brenda and Jax fans…..

Okay, there are too many to list. I’ll just say anyone with taste is now pissed. I even see some of the Tarly nuts are angry as they truly believed that Howarth would be Todd….okay. Again- copyright. But, whatever.  Like Carlivati, they seem to be challenged in understanding the law.

The actors look so stupid, that’s why I was laughing. I don’t need to hear them talk because I have better things to do with my time. I’m so not interested. But Howarth looks like a Cockatiel who’s been around the bend a few too many times. Dude, you’re middle aged. You look like that guy from Flock of Seagulls and I know you know who that is- you’re my age.

 We’re old. I’ve seen this new character called other things but I like to think of him as Dieter. I can totally see Howarth asking people to touch his monkey and dancing like this.

UGH. How nauseating.  Glad Todd’s being Todd on OLTL. I have no interest in any Eurotrash or whatever they’re working over in Loserville. That money better be good because none of this makes sense otherwise. The dude is knocking it out of the park on OLTL and he  was dismal most of the time on GH. Really cringeworthy. So, it must be the check and the promise he can do both because otherwise, he’s got an evil twin on GH. Someone’s seeming to really like playing on OLTL as he’s better than I’ve seen him in, well, at least a year.  Often without words. No laughter from me from his silence there- unlike that promo.

Who in their right mind would watch that drivel when OLTL is so fucking good? How can they watch him be SO Todd and then tune it to see Dieter run around and raise his eyebrow a lot and think that’s acting? I don’t know. I hear Nick Robuck may be back with them. Just what they need- Fords. Yuck. Someone stop letting Alderson cast this beast.

Easton seems to be playing out his “acting” fantasy but he looks as moronic as Howarth. What’s with the hair? Is he Poindexter McBain- I mean Morley-  or is this all part of his comic thing? Is he Peter Parker or Clark Kent? Whatever he is, I don’t care enough to speculate. It’s so bad, it’s hardly worth looking at again to point and laugh. I have better things to do- like watch paint dry or get a root canal or wait for monkeys to fly out of my ass….sorry, Dieter Howarth, didn’t mean to get you all excited. Not interested in touching any monkey you have, Buddy, not until you’re deloused again.

Alderson looks better with the dark hair but I’m letting her off the hook. She’s young and I have a sneaking suspicion that she wasn’t asked to return to OLTL as she’s, well, looks challenged.  So, I’m not commenting on her, like, ever. I think OLTL felt they were better off without any Alderson. LOVE NU-MATTHEW!! He’s ready to step into Big Fish role if Howarth’s liking Dieter too much. I see no takers for his monkey on OLTL. They have real characters there, not cartoons with bad haircuts.

Look, GH was doomed from the start but this is the final chapter. You need a strong fanbase to sustain a show and then you can add actors with their own fanbases to it. What these twats don’t get is that they have lost the initial fanbase here and they’re losing more with this bullshit stunt. There can be no building without a foundation, you idiots, and you’ve lost yours. The building cannot stand and you can’t put an addition on. It’s going to fall down, Dumbasses.

Howarth’s horny hags couldn’t sustain ATWT. Easton’s girls couldn’t sustain PC or OLTL. And OLTL’s foundation was much stronger from the jump than GH is now. Howarth wasn’t back as Todd on OLTL until it was cancelled already, so that’s neither here nor there. But the real moron twist here is that these idiots have so alienated the GH fans, they won’t stick with them. They’ve murdered their show. Why would they? 

For the most part, the OLTL fans are gone. We have our own show and if we can watch Todd kick ass, why do we need to watch Howarth flit about as Dieter or Boris or whoever the hell he is? He sucks when he’s not Todd, IMO, and not Todd in Llanview. So, there’s very few  OLTL fans coming on, IMO, and the GH fans are rebelling. So, who’s left? The Horny Gals who drool over Howarth and the ones who like Easton? I don’t see three mill there, Guys. In fact, some of the more discriminating Howarth gals now hate GH, so they’ll be out, too. They can watch him sex it up with Blair and have better hair…for the next few months.

How nice that this is what has happened to a once classic show. It’s deteriorated into the ramblings of a few self involved idiots who want to be relevant. Guess what? You’re not. You’re an embarrassment. Ask Peter Bergman. I know, he was talking about cancellation, but was he really? You do the math.

And someone needs to delouse Howarth again when he gets back. That hair will make it easier.  And be sure to leave the monkey with Frank. He’ll need it when he and Ron are out on the street, with the organ grinder, asking for spare change.

I’m telling you, GH Fans, your only hope is cancellation. PP can’t be worse. They’ll have no interest in these three losers. Or the two running it. Save your show- boycott it!!

Now, I’m going back to Sting and watching OLTL again. I can’t get enough of either.
