Let me start by saying I loathe his HBO show.

Apparently, he did a spot featuring Stephen A. SmithrCOs role as Brick and proceeded to whine because he wanted to appear on a soap.

He is scheduled to appear on GH this week as an undisclosed character.

Um, yea, lemme guess? He will portray Z.

Most of the storylines are so drawn our, that there is not much to discuss because next to nothing has changed.

Curtis is exceptionally tedious. Sidwell, instead of absconding to a country with nonextradition treaty, chooses to hang out in PC. Rocco go home already.

Bizarre.

That would make Z not a serious character, but a clown. And they've
invested so heavily in making Z out to be akin to Oz the Great and
Powerful, that a clown showing up instead would sorta put the lie to Z's reputation. Not that I wouldn't put it past them to cast a comic, so if
that's what they've done, then he'd better play it straight instead of
for yuks.

Maybe next to nothing, but not nothing. I seem to find plenty to
discuss. But it takes more than one poster to make a discussion!

Curtis is exceptionally tedious.

Yes, tediously predictable. They need to shake things up a bit--make him
do something out of character, like confess to being a jerk, apologize
to Isaiah, look up Taggert and apologize to him for usurping his place
in Trina's life, etc etc etc.

Sidwell, instead of absconding to a country with nonextradition
treaty, chooses to hang out in PC.

They're just stringing us along, making us wait for the comeuppance he
deserves but probably will never suffer.

Rocco go home already.

And on the way, maybe make a stop to see an orthopedist about that
atrocious posture.

According to something I read tonight, he is scheduled for three
appearances.

The fanzines also mentioned that Oliver is such an effective whiner, that
he scored an appearance of similar length on Days of Our Lives, also
appearing this week.

Some comedians/comics have made transitions to tv sitcoms, tv dramas and movies. Some have even received honors for their work.

I hope Oliver does a good job, but remain skeptical in spite of all the positive comments made by his soap coworkers. I am not sure how well he
can suppress the comedic mugging that characterizes most of his work. It
was effective on The Daily Show. Maybe he has taken some acting lessons,
and wants to try to expand.

And you do a good job, too. You notice stuff I miss. Like that whole deal with Ethan switching tests. I absolutely never noticed it.

The part where Trina decided to extricate herself from her parentsrCO squabbling was weird. While they squabbled, they wouldnrCOt even have
noticed her absence.

I wish they would bring back Taggart. They lost so much opportunity there.

I can't imagine him pulling off a serious role, but that could be just
my failure, so I will withhold judgment until I see the final product.
I've had a feeling that Z is a woman, so if he's been cast as Z, I will
be disappointed, and if he plays Z like Maxwell Smart, I will not be
happy.

He did it sleight of hand. The tell was that even tho he was the only
person in the room, he acted all nonchalant and casual as he did it,
like an inept pickpocket. Silly, really.

noticed her absence.

Right. She could have gone up in flames and been reduced to ash before
one asked the other if they smelled something burning. What was really
odd was that Trina showed up at Portia's to lecture and lay down the law
as if she were the parent and they were the kids. And of course they
played right along, promising to do better and to go by her rules. I
almost expected her to threaten to spank them or send them to their
rooms without dinner. But there was only chastisement, so of course the
minute Isaiah does something to get up Curtis's nose again, they'll be
right back at it.

I wish they would bring back Taggart. They lost so much opportunity
there.

When they made Curtis Trina's bio dad, poor Taggert became chopped
liver. Every time I hear Trina call Curtis "Dad," I cringe. Curtis
didn't raise her, Taggert did. But now Curtis is Dad and it's as if
Taggert never existed. That stinks.
