Is it just me or does Josslyn talk to people like they are "stupid" or "not so bright"?
I feel like she talks in a way where she thinks the other person isn't as smart as her or she's exasperated with them and talks as if they are a child who doesn't understand anything. It annoys me about the character!!!
I watched GH in HS and college, from before she was an agent, but stopped for a few years after college. I've started watching again since last year and was thrown off at how she speaks to people; I swear I don't remember this before with the actor!
Once upon a time...
TPTB were chem-testing Alan and Amy. He was hospitalized (I think injured after the one of his attempts to kill Monica and Rick) and she was his nurse at GH. Amy was definitely flirting with him and Alan was always a dog when it came to pretty young nurses. However, Amy (being relatively new to the show) was then being written as a conniving gold-digger trying to worm her way into the Quartermaine fortune. It didn't last long, and she was redirected into becoming the gossipy ditz on staff we all came to love.
Generally, the writers want us to believe that most of the characters are intelligent, but just have different weaknesses or motivations...and yet, right now most characters believe that this is what went down:
Sonny: Yo Vito, go to Pentonville and beat the absolute shit out of Sidwell, make sure that you loudly tell everyone nearby that I did this so that it massively complicates my life.
Vito: Uhhhh....sure...but like why though?
Sonny: Things are too quiet, I'm bored, make sure to leave a witness that knows I did this.
Any of the characters who believe this are no longer believable as reasonably intelligent. Every time I see Dante in a scene now I'm gonna think, "oh, here comes a moron" then Curtis shows up, "oh look another moron" Gio "hey! 3 morons!" Justine "lol so many morons" etc etc. I just think there was definitely a way to write this where you don't sabotage so many of your own characters.
the introduction between her and Jason was so heavy handed 😂
i don’t dislike the idea of her and Jason “getting to know” each other or eventually being paired together - but the initial set up / meeting between them was over the top
and about as subtle as Lucy
So it's fairly clear that the writers want us to hate Drew and Willow. They are probably going more for "love to hate" and doing it poorly, but still. They are meant to be villains.
But do they want us to hate Trina, Joss, Curtis, Jordan, Chase, Justine, etc? They are all technically "good guys." Some are being painted as misguided or just dumb, but I can't imagine they want us to dislike that many characters. So do they not know? Not care? Is it all some mysterious plan? Are they just not able to write likable, complex characters? Can anyone explain this?
