Noooooooooooob

Hello, all. Well, being as miss Kelli's introduction was fairly long, I'll do my best to keep mine short. I'm not as interesting as Kelli or as witty as Toph, but you get to listen to me ramble on anyway.

I'm basically a General Hospital newbie. While my mom's been watching for as long as I can remember, so it has constantly been on the T.V., I didn't start watching until October 31st of this year. JaSam had their scene together, and Kelli told me to watch so I could give them ratings, so I did. I didn't even really watch. I just put the T.V. on.

But the gun toting duo dressed in leather caught my attention, and since then, I have been school-ed by both Kelli and Topher on General Hospital (mainly JaSam/Sam) history. I've also done my research. Since then, I've watched billions of clips and storylines via youtube, as well as started consistently watching what's on air now. I'm by all means no expert, but I think it's safe to say I've seen enough to have a legit opinion.

I am a Sam McCall fan first, and it's because of that this blog exists in the first place. New to General Hospital fandom, I stumbled across a blog that wasn't exactly friendly to my girl. Pissing me off, Toph and I decided we should just start our own blog, and have Kelli come along for the ride.

Moving on. I could go into the characters I like and dislike, but I feel like that would be a little redundant, seeing as Toph and Kelli both pretty much have gotten that covered. Also, I'd keep in mind that we are making our opinions on certain characters very clear right from the get go, and yes, we will continue to be biased throughout this entire blog. If you don't like it, just don't read. We aren't going to go soft. At all.

Just to further that point:

(and I totally went easy on her, I could have posted much worse)
(p.s....if you type "anti-Elizabeth Webber" into google, a lot of pictures of shampoo bottles come up. I don't know why. But I found it randomly amusing enough to tell you)


So that's me. Also, since I am new to General Hospital and I'm sure there are many brilliant storylines (much better than the crap on T.V. now) that I have yet to stumble across in my journeys, and if you'd like to suggest one to me, I'll totally take the time to watch and rant/rave all about it here.

So, I need to go to work so I'm going to wrap this up. Basically: welcome to my, Kelli, and Toph's opinions. Don't like them? Go away. Elizabeth "Whore" Webber fan? Go away. Consider this our disclaimer.

Neurotically yours,
Lewd, Syph, or whatever the hell you want to call me.

I Am Not A Goat

I guess it's my turn for an introduction. I'll start out by being honest; I find General Hospital so boring now a days that I haven't watched a full episode in about a month. I've kept to my Sam scenes only, which let me tell you, are few and far between. So feel special; I'll be viewing full episodes again starting Monday. If you've found this blog through D&T, TH, the Rant, or any other random General Hospital or Soap board out there, then you probably already know who I am. I'm Kelli, though in the online GH world, I'm known as 'forevergh13'. Now that I think about it, it's a little disappointing that I don't have any cool nicknames like the other two. Sigh. I guess I'll get over it. Before I launch into my GH status, I think I need a disclaimer. I'm crude, blunt, and more often than not, offensive. We're not writing this to be nice to everybody and make everybody happy though. I'll try not to personally attack you and you try not to take my attacks personal. Cool? Okay then.

As you can probably tell, I'm a SamFF and a total KeMo lover. So all you whore fans (you know who you are), if you can't stand all the Sam love, then go find a goat and fuck it. I've watched every single Sam scene from the moment she pretended to hang herself in jail, knocked the guard out, and talked all cutesy with the dog (which, for all you GH noobs out there, was Sam's first scene).

I'll admit, I'm a JaSam fan second. But in all honesty, I can get into any Sam pairing. There are times I'd love to see Jax and Sam have another go (because oh my, Ingo is looking good). And I wasn't a HUGE fan of Sonny and Sam but I loved it when they became friends later. And I was and am a LuSam fan as well. (See, this isn't ALL about JaSam!)

We'll start with the bitches of GH (both good and bad). Other than Sam, Maxie is another favorite of mine. She is, unfortunately, more of a hit or miss. Kirsten Storms is fabulous in the role though and I admit that I tend to be biased when I like the actor or actress. Carly Corinthos Jacks is definitely one of my favorites, as is Laura Wright. She's simply amazing and gorgeous.

My in between girls vary. I'm not a huge Claudia fan, although I started out liking her a lot more than I thought I would. I had high hopes for the ClauSon relationship and TPTB wrote her into a corner. It was very disappointing. On another note, I'm basically in love with (not really but sort of) Sarah Brown, so that evens it out.

As for my not so favorite characters, I think they're pretty obvious. I'm not a Kate fan. She is and always has been pointless and I'd be ecstatic if the rumors of her demise are true. Although JMB is gorgeous, if I have to hear Lulu shriek about nothing and yada yada yada one more time, I'm going to drink a gallon of bleach. And Snobin Robin could have disappeared in that snow storm back in January and I wouldn't have minded one bit.

And I am as far from an Elizabeth Webber fan as possible. I could rant about her all day, but I'm sure you'll hear plenty of that from me later.

As for the men of GH, I'm not sure I've too many that I don't like. Jason Morgan is an on again off again thing for me. I love him with Sam and that's about it (occasionally with Carly too). Sonny's too easy to make fun of so I tend to do that a lot, although when Maurice is on, man is he on. I adore Ric (both Lansing and Hearst for that matter) and hope that they intend to keep him around. That character is such a skeaze but the actor is so fantastic that it's damn fun to watch.

I'm not a big Lucky fan at all. In fact, I said earlier to the other girls that in my opinion, Lucky Spencer was born without his balls. But I'm sure Greg Vaughan's are big enough for the both of them. *fans self* I'd love to grab Greg's ass some day. I bet it's nice and squishy. Patrick is a total favorite of mine. My fantasy couple is Patrick and Sam. Ever since their banter in the hospital when he first came on back in 2005, I've wanted to see what could come of them. Scrubs bore the living hell out of me anyway. Who needs them? And lastly, I lay claim over Brandon Barash when he's playing psychotic Johnny. Because damn, that shit is hot. I've been waiting for JoMax for awhile and I'm just glad I got some decent scenes out of it before they go back to Spixie full force.

I want to do a villain corner like Beeg did too, just because I'm obsessive about falling for GH's villains. I absolutely adore Little Antz (Anthony Zacchara) and was completely heartbroken when they took him off screen. I'll be lobbying for him to come back because he's so good with comedic relief.

Jerry Jax is up there too. I like him half the time and half the time I don't. I like the badass "Mr. Craig" side of him compared to the "Jerry Jax: brother of Jasper and lover of Alexis" side. I waited for a damn long time to see them do more Sam/Jerry interaction. Their chemistry together during the Metro Court Hostage Crisis was off the charts and I knew it'd be good. On top of that, I'm slightly more than in love with Sebastian Roche. I wish he'd come back full time and I fully intend to start a "Bring Back Jerry" compaign when he's gone again.

And as much as I love Jerry, absolutely no villain in all of GH history could compare to Manny Ruiz. I'm obsessed with him about as much as he was with Sam. He was one of my favorite storylines ever. And if it would get Robert back, I'd get down on my knees in front of Bob Guza himself.

Okay, now that I've talked for..ever, I'll wrap it up. I know, it takes an acquired taste to like me, so I won't be too incredibly offended if you don't. No worries- Lewd's up next and you're going to adore her.

Sinners and Saints, per us and Billy Joel

I thought we'd start this impromptu blog with a cast of the likely regularly occurring characters in our rantings and squee-ing and musings. Billy Joel's words that he'd "rather laugh with the sinners than cry with the saints" are particularly accurate when it comes to our feelings about the characters in this show, so I'll begin with dividing them into categories.

SINNERS:

Samantha McCall - As you can probably tell from our URL, she is our girl. Our favorite anti-hero. Guza tried his damnest to make us hate her, but we could not be swayed. We are Sam apologists and total KeMo fans. She came into the show escaping from jail, and she's at her best when she's being badass all over town.

Maxie Jones - Love her. She is totally unapologetic with her selfishness and her schemes, but she is also totally loyal to those she loves. She's flawed, but that's what's so great about her. Now, at the moment, she's fairly obnoxious, but I have faith that awesome Maxie will be back.

Carly Corinthos Jacks - As a Jason and Sam fan, I've had my fair share of moments being annoyed at Carly. And she certainly interrupted some JaSam sexy times more times than was at all necessary. But she is strong and she is loyal and she has grown more than any other character on this show.

Jason Morgan - Mob morality. It's a contradiction in terms, but Jason Morgan is a good man, and he wants to do the right thing. He's everyone's hero, and clearly Guza's, but he is definitely an anti-hero. I may not always love that he's everyone's go to guy to save the day, but he always gives of his self without asking for anything in return.

SAINTS (also known as the STFU squad):

Elizabeth "Whore" Webber - Words cannot describe the hatred. She is hypocritical and self-important. She walks around town touting herself as this amazing mother when she rarely spends any time with either of her ONS babies. I could (and will) go on, but let's just go with HATE for now.

Robin "Sure I dropped my baby down the stairs, but I don't need meds" Scorpio-Drake - She has always been annoying and fairly boring. Lately, she's loathesome. I'm pretty sure that's a big old sign saying "you're doing it wrong" for the writers, but what it means is she's barely watchable without wanting to light her on fire.

Lulu "I'm better than you" Spencer - She speaks, but all I hear is, "Blah blah blah." I go between not caring about her and hating her and her holier than thou ass. Please let a young adult male come to PC and not fall in love with her first. kthnx.

VILLAINS:

Port Charles has many villains. Most of them suck, but once in awhile they get a great villain who is funny, a true challenge for our heros, and just fun to watch. I love them, but I didn't want to put them with the sinners.

Helena Cassadine - Badass. That is all.

Manny Ruiz - Totally skeezy yet fun all at once. I wish they had done more with Matteo.

Jerry Jacks - My crush on him is entirely inappropriate, I think. But I'm not ashamed. He's totally hot in the fun way he just does his thing and starts shit for the people of PC. Whether he's Mr. Craig or Jerry, he keeps trying to kill my girl, but I still love him.

That's all for now.

BTDubs, this is Christine, aka, Toph, aka BG, aka Berry, and this is my intro post.
