[Megan's Mom]

did anyone else catch today that Rick and Mel were talking about their daughter being in boarding school. Now what kind of rapid aging pills did she take. Seems like last year she was just an infant. They way they are removing people from the show I guess they need to age kids so that by next summer they will have the teens for the summer story lines. That just threw me for a loop today.

WHAT! I missed the show today but that is ridiculous since Rick's son with Harley is what- 5 or 6? And Jude is a couple of years older than Rick and Mel's daughter!

I could also scream every time the Tammy/Johnathan jingle comes on. Where is the gagging smilie?

 

[Megan's Mom]

The comment was that Mel needed something to keep her busy and Buzz said being a Dr and Lawyer wasn't enough and then Rick said they had empty nest since whatever the daughter's name is was away at boarding school. I didn't know taht they had boarding school for preschoolers. The whole story was strange.
Hate the song. Now they are using it with other people as well. Must have gotten a really good deal on using it.

Well, I've already chimed in about the song, but I did do a lookup, and it's by an artist named Kaci Brown.

For anyone that doesn't Tivo or have time to watch every day, you can find daily updates here:

I do think it's silly how they age people so quickly, but it is the soap opera way. I mean, what about Coop? Isn't he about 10?
And Jonathan? Reva drove off the bridge in 1990....so even if she swam her little heart out and conceived the day after she beached on the sandy shores of San Cristobal, he's pushing 15 tops.....
And don't even get me started about Marina....Last week when Alan Michael kissed Marina, THAT totally grossed me out. Alan Michael was married and divorced from Harley AND Blake and then married to Eleni before she had Marina....so that would make him at least 20-24 years older than her. Hmmm...if she's 21-22, doesn't that make him in his 40's? Oil of Olay sure is his friend!

Oh - and if you're wondering about timeline info (I swear I'm not really THAT obsessed...I don't have all of this back trivia memorized or anything). I find it all at: http://www.anybrowser.org/soaps/gl/timeline.shtml

At first I thought Rick was joking about boarding school. They just had that baby. Plus Jude's not in boarding school and he is older. GL does some stupid things sometimes. I know they need to age but that was ridiculous. AM w/ Marina is too.

 

[sweet angel]

Sooooo, did anyone else cry through the ending of today's episode and watch it several times? What a beautiful castle they picked for the wedding.

 

[Megan's Mom]

What happened today to make Tammy run off with Jonathan? We had bad weather here today and it wasn't on.

A district attorney came to arrest Sandy for bigamy. So, Tammy found out the hard way that he was married to Eva/Ava.

 

[sweet angel]

Maybe it's because I'm a big old sap, or maybe just because I really like Tammy and Jonathan together, but I was crying like a baby. That castle was beautiful. I loved the way they shot the scenes, and when he swept her up into his arms, I was done.

 

[Jennifer S]

Tammy and Jonathan are growing on me. I felt so bad during the wedding when a single tear rolled down his cheek as Tammy said I do to Sandy.

The show is getting a little better lately.

 

[Zandy595]

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me everything that happened the last ten minutes of GL yesterday! My stupid cable went out right when Tammi left the church.

I noticed from the timeline someone posted that Blake would be 30
Alan Michael would be 24
Michelle would be 20
Marah 18
Daisy(Harleys Daughter) is 18
Blake is 30
Shayne is 15
lizzie is 15
MArina is 12
coop is 11

 

[Snoopygirl]

I started watching GL waaaaaayyyy back when I was in grade school. I would come home and watch it w/ my mom! I loved it! I finally got tired of it a couple of years ago and just lately have started to watch it again. It seems like it is better now then it was a few years back.

I loved Rick/Mindy/Phillip/Beth....and what about Lujack.....YUM!
And all the Reardons...those where the days!

So, I will continue to get back to Springfield and see what's going on

I guess they did a bit of aging...

Alan Michael should be old enough to be Marina's father (since he was involved with her mom at one point), yet he doesn't look too much older than her.

A-M was Married to Marina's mom so he was her step-dad and then her uncle when married to Lucy! I don't like them together.

That timeline was funny - Coop 11- made me lol.

I'd like to see Mallet and Dinah together and for Tammy to make upo her #@@##@ mind.

 

[Spinning]

It is nuts if you ask me to have marina fall for AM! but hey GL anymore wants to keep every thing in the family! HAHAHHAH
I think Marina just needs to go on perm. vacation and take Eva with her. both are such flat unemotional actors.....

I think this new AM could have easily replaced Philip. Something about him reminds me of Grant A. SImilar check bones maybe?

 

[Zandy595]

A-M was Married to Marina's mom so he was her step-dad and then her uncle when married to Lucy! I don't like them together.

Wasn't A-M married to Eleni before Marina was born? In that case he was never her stepfather, but it's still weird that she's interested in her mother's ex. OK, maybe not weird for a soap.

I can't believe Josh kissed Olivia after he told Reva he didn't want to get divorced. Olivia needs to find somebody new. Even though Buzz wants to be with her, I like him too much to have him messed up with her.

What's going on with Lizzie and Quinn? What does he want from her? Is he just trying to buy her love or is it something else?

 

[sweet angel]

Buzz was cracking me up during those scenes -- especially when he said it was like high school. Poor Buzz -- Liv is the LAST thing he needs!

I think you are right but if A-M was married to Eleni before she was born then he has not aged enough. He should be about 20-25 years older than her. I just don't "buy" this pairing - too creepy.

I was thinking the same thing that the new AM could have easily replace Philip cause he reminds me of Grant A too
