Huma, I think we need to start a pregnancy thread in the rant section just specifically for gripes centered around the crap they are writing about pregnancy on GH! But you are spot on - Elizabeth's pregnancy was not annoying in the slightest with GH's bad attempts at humor or medical knowledge. The only part of it that I thought was kind of ridiculous was that she abrupted just like Sam. I mean, that isn't a common pregnancy complication at all, and here we have two characters...

Ah, totally agreed. There have been SO many characters over the years that I guess they were hoping would be a hit just because they were linked to characters already on the canvas (like Hannah Scott, FBI, Roy Di Lucca's daughter, to name one) that have just FLOPPED so badly because it seems like they ran with the "OMG SHE'S RELATED TO HIM ISN'T THAT SOOOOOOOO COOL?!" angle instead of focusing on characterizations, etc.

And you nkow what else I was thinking...

But I feel almost that that long-term caring for a character can be equaled by more short-term caring. I liked ALcazar for a while, so I liked Sage when she came on just because she was related to him....

I voted twins because I think it would be absolutely hilarious.

Patrick is freaking out about one kid right now, imagine if he were to find out he was having two. It would be all kinds of funny.

And I like funny.

We've got Michael (well, kind of), Morgan, Spencer, Jake, and Cam running around and only Kristina and Molly. We need some more girls to balance out the guys.

Huma, you were probably barely in grade school when Paul Hornsby (played by Paul Satterfield who was the evil guy obsessed with Blair on OLTL about 2 years ago) was on GH. It was 17 years ago. I think he was involved with the Eckerts - that was when TG came back to play Bill Eckert instead of playing Luke. Sometimes it is difficult to believe the ratings were better back then, given that some of the storylines were really ill-conceived.

Seriously, Amy. If Spixie gets thrown over for Kirsten's old on-screen beau, I will be pissed. And it will confirm for me that the people who write GH are stupid hacks more than half the time.

Why can't I remember who Kyle is??

Instead of creating new characters, I do like it when they bring back existing characters, like Dillon. Even if he wasn't born on screen, there was mention of him. When Scott Clifton came on, it wasn't the first mention of the character.

This is kind of off-topic, but personally, I'd love to see them bring Serena Baldwin back. Logan would have some more ties since Scott hasn't been on forever, and maybe she would give...

I've personally never seen teh big deal about not having enough matched up babies on teh canvas. Most love interests are brought on anyway.

Dillon wasn't born on the show. Did we even know that Tracy was with some Hornsby dude? I can't even remember for the life of me. Nikolas wasn't born on screen. We had no idea he existed. Elizabeth and Sarah weren't born on screen. Emily wasn't born on screen but introduced when she was 11. That was one entire teen scene...

There's also Lila Rae. She's what, an Alcazar and a Quartermaine wannabe? Yet another enemy of Sonny's / almost blood relation of Jason's. There will be an interesting teen scene someday.

For a long time, GH was very heavy with the daughters - BJ, Maxie, Georgie, Serena, Leslie Lu... I think the only boys in that whole generation were Dillon and Lucas. Not exactly manly men, either of them. No wonder GH had to add a bunch of male newbies for these gals!

I voted Girl for two reasons. First, they need to even out the next generation. I can't think of any girls beside Kristina Davis Corinthos & Lila Rae Alcazar that have been born in the past 5 years or so. Well, there's dead baby McCall, but that doesn't count for me. But for boys, we have Morgan Corinthos, Spencer Cassadine, and Jake Morgan that immediately come to mind. And also, I just realized that GH needs to name some kids after no one! Each of these is names after...

Susan, that's a great point. Everything out of Robin's mouth these days is a horrible cliche, from weight gain to hormones to urination to flatulence, and ti's just like, come on. This is the girl that loves kids, has wanted kids for a long time, researched everything so carefully, etc, and it would be sad for me, if I was a Robin fan and cared a whole lot about her character, to see her reduced to stupid cliches and dumb stories about how her mother, the original...

I wish I could even care enough to vote. Isn't that terrible? Why can't I be made to care about this story? Maybe it is because every time Robin is talking about being pregnant, all I hear is how fat she thinks she is getting.

When I was younger and getting into trouble or being a pain in my mom's butt, she told me one day I would have a child and that child would be just like me and then I'd realize what a total brat I was. Robin needs to have a little girl that can rebel against her.

And then when little Girl Scorpio/Drake is fighting with her dad she can call him out for being the resident manwhore.

Very close. Jason barely edged out Elizabeth as the one who needs to make the first move.

I loved reading all the replies and reasons why everyone voted as they did. I think I was nodding in agreement with each of them no matter which way they voted.
