Do's and Don't's for a Spinelli fan: (Spoilers)

While watching GH under this current team as a Spinelli fan:


Don't expect any backstory of deep meaning.

Don't think that he's related to anyone on canvas. Jason is his family.

Don't expect the Logan murder mystery to bond Spinlu in any way.

Don't think that this thing with Claudia is any deeper than putting her in close proximity to Jason.



Do expect whacky hi-jinx.

Do expect every girl on the show to say that he's the sweetest guy ever and she adores him with all her heart but gosh, he just doesn't do it for her.

Do expect anyone who has feelings for Spin to be ignored or killed off.

Do expect Maxie to say that she hates Matt, but OMG she really wants to nail him. This story has played on repeat a thousand times.

Do call and write to tell TPTB that BA is an award winning theater actor, who will take chances and deserves something better than only comic relief.

Thank you.

you hit it all on the head, spikey. it's sad, isn't it.

even this past week when i should have been able to feel great sympathy for spinelli in his ill state and the intensity of the brotherly relationship between him and jason, mostly what i felt was embarrassment at spinelli's childlike behavior with claudia, the over-the-top "god save the king" weirdness / predictions concering jason and sonny, and then more awkward weirdness in the hospital with liz and jason. then on top of that, jason getting angry at a still sick spinelli because he brought up claudia in front of liz? when even on his best, healthiest days, spinelli has difficulty being socially graceful? nice compassion, writers! thanks!

now spin gets to be comic relief yet again with the newest hottie in town. how insulting to bradford. i have begun to feel strongly hopeful that bradford might speak up on his own behalf so that spinelli can be rescued - and soon - from what seems to be an ever more rapid decline from his great beginnings to nothing much more than the village idiot.

I loved Claudia and drunk Spin on the docks.

It was sad but beautifully done.
