[net.tv.soaps] General Hospital: Hurrah for Anna DeVane!

vas@lzaz.UUCP (V.SNYDER) (11/15/85)

Having been a long time viewer of GH and videotaping it everyday
makes it obvious I've been a great fan for over 10 years.  The 
past six months of GH prior to Anna DeVane coming on the show
had several characters who should have been in a car accident or
something.  One of the characters I would have gotten rid of
if Mike's mother, Ginny.  No depth!! what's going on?  If you
can't get any progress with a character, you mentally tune them out.
Several couples who's problems have been very hashed and rehashed
is the Celia and Jimmy Lee union with the Jezebel hanging out to make
a threesome.  Will someone take them out of their misery?  I think
Jimmy Lee should start acting like he's not so pu**y whipped.  He ought
to show her what he's made of and get her to come down to earth or
take a walk.  I'm actually glad Emma Samms has left, because someone
just can't be that milky toasted.  Robert is running out of steam as
well.  The two new bloods that have recently come on board have piqued
my interest.  Anna DeVane and Buzz.  They should get something going.
You could see Anna is a very intelligent, strong, vulnerable woman.
Buzz the Striker could find a soulmate in this beauty and send Robert
off to Australia with Holly.  Another interesting liaison might be
with Sean Donnelly and Anna, or Sean and Felicia.  Frisco has run
out of appeal as well.  Whoever thought we could go for an oriental
Felicia and Frisco duo must have overdosed on Chinese food.  I guess
from the producers point of view, that's one way to get more aisans
to watch the show.  The show needs a few more interesting additions
in character like the O'Connor boys and add some competition for 
the anguished Terry.  How could Terry Brock be believeable anymore?
She needs to be taken out of her misery.  As an actress, isn't she
tired of going through these mood swings and crying jags?  What gives
GH writers?  Any concurrance on my views or disagreements?  I'm open.

Anna and Robert had an interesting converstaion on Thursday's show.
Robert was commenting on how Buzz was being so helpful in the search for
Robin.  Anna insisted that it was just Buzz's good nature and
willingness to help people, but Robert wanted to know if she had any
particular interest (romantic) in Buzz.  Anna insisted that she didn't
and was angry with Robert for thinking that she should be fixed up with
someone.  I suspect Robert feels somewhat guilty for Anna's unhappiness
in general (since he will eventually leave to be with Holly, yet he
knows that Anna still has feelings for him) he feels responsible for
finding Anna someone to be with since he cannot be that person.  Anyway,
from the looks of things, there will definitely be some romance in the
cards for Anna and Buzz.

As far as the new police commissioner, I doubt that it would be Frisco,
since he's not even a cop.  Sean has some heavy charges to be acquitted
of.  I thought that Bert Ramsey was going to get the job -- I believe
that's what Robert wants and what he recommended to Lee Baldwin some
time back.

Anyway, as of yesterday, Anna and Buzz found the Ancient One and Robin
on the waterfront near the cannery, but some of Kim's men found them
also.  For Anna and Buzz's sakes, I hope they don't decide to kill off
either Anna or Robin.  Probably what will happen is that Anna and Robin,
or perhaps the Ancient One, will be held hostage, in order to drag out
the story.
