My take on Spinelli/Maxie

Have we still not settled on an official name? lol...I had this idea of "Snarkie"...what do we think?

I'm going to piggy-back on Penny's analysis of the Spin/Maxie scenes from today. For starters, they were great! Definitely a good foundation for things to come. Depending on the writing, I can see this becoming a very deep character developing storyline for both characters, and that's the best kind! As they grow together to clear Cooper's name, so much wonderful stuff could happen. This is like the good old days of character interactions -- no forcing a romantic connection, just an honest reason for two people to depend upon each other and maybe discover the possiblity of more.

I think Maxie holds love at a distance just like Lulu did, at least until every guy in a 50 mile radius started throwing themselves at her feet... Maxie has certainly had a lot of experience with men, but I'd venture to say she's never had anyone, besides maybe Mac and Georgie, love her and worship her unconditionally. I think whatever woman is lucky enough to be Spinelli's girlfriend will find herself on the most realistic pedestal known to man (meaning that she's worshipped in the best way possible) with all the love a support a girl could wish for. The men Maxie has been with have almost excentuated her insecurities and made her feel like she had to go out of her way to keep him around. Can you imagine what she'd do if she was the one being adored? How would she react? Would she self-destruct and push it away? Maybe Spinelli will be that guy who finally convinces Maxie she is safe and sound, there's nothing to be scared of and she deserves happiness?

Forget the guns and speedboats and daring rescues....I want to see Spinelli do the rescuing with his heart.

The Bad Blonde One & The Jackal: Beautiful Magic


How great was today? I want to focus on Maxie for a bit. Maxie who has always been the troubled one, the sick one and the 'bad' one is finding out who she really is.

She IS Frisco and Felicia's daughter.

You could just see it in those great scenes with Spinelli today. She is taking the pain of losing Georgie and Cooper into I what I believe the final stage of her very long journey to find herself.

Spinelli was so sweet to Maxie. Worried about her. It was just pure gold. They seemed to have this underlying understanding of each other. A intimacy. The bond of Georgie is bringing them together as partners, friends and perhaps something more.

Bradford and Kristen work so well off each other. I recall my first Maxie and Spinelli post and it brings me such delight to read it.

Did you enjoy it to? its a great catalyst to get started on the Hugs for Spinelli Campaign I just got off the comment line myself.

Poll: Love Affair.



"Love Affair" is out and is available to order or download from itunes.

Love Affair available on Itunes

link to album

chills baby. Chills.

You CAN download just the track or the whole cd.
I went to Best Buy and Target today because I need to hear it LOL. My search was fruitless but it is finally available on itunes (I been checking since last night)

I am really impressed with Bradford vocal control and range.

Remember if you buy the CD or digital tracks Review. Review everywhere you can think of.

Shameless Self-Promotion

I finally uploaded my most recent SpinLu video (from August...) to my new YouTube account, so I figured I'd share it with the masses of Bradford Fans. I'm really quite proud of it, and it was a winner over at GH Video Theater :D



PS: This was on the DVD I sent to Bradford and Julie a few months back!

I personally plan to call every day Spinelli is on our screen during the campaign period. (31 January - 27 February) . This is an easy option if you have free nights on your phone plan.

8. Donate as part of the Bradford & Kirsten Valentine's Day gift project to benefit the Manchester Animal Shelter.

9. Vote for Spinelli in polls. Any positive feedback is important. Seek poll out and respond to polls. Click the GH the Soap graphic on the right side bar different times per day. Its counted as a vote for Spinelli, Bradford and this site. Do the same for other Bradford/Spinelli themed sites.

10. Make a goal related to the campaign and stick to it. Its only a short period of time to keep up. Post your personal goals as a response to this post to help others make their own goals.

11. Make Spinelli Videos. Post them on Youtube and other video sharing websites so that the whole world can see it.

Hugs for Spinelli Campaign

Now is not the time to allow ourselves to get complacent. Contract players are being shed like dog hair. We need to show support of Spinelli and Bradford. Not only to keep him on the show but to get that storyline we all have been dreaming of. We keep getting the unfulfilled promise of a storyline. Little hints that if we keep watching we will get to see 'more' Spinelli. They need to know that he is popluar enough to risk a storyline on him. They need to hear our voice.

Lets show them what Bradford fans are made of.

Join me in a support campaign through out February Sweeps (31 January - 27 February) .

Have you been waiting for a chance to show your support? Now is the time. You already do some? do more. Get more people involved. Our voice will be louder if we do it together at the same time.

Use the form below to join. (If you don't have a website to share just leave it blank)
by joining the campaign you are saying you commit to show Bradford your support doing. February sweeps. (31 January - 27 February) Make yourself a goal and stick with it for just a few weeks.

New Website..

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

Chrissy, who did such a great job at the G-Spin site added a new addition to the Spinelli/Maxie forum.

Hey everyone. I've been working on a website for Maxie and Spinelli all day and I finally got the front page done. This is going to be part of the Maxie and Spinelli Forum. I asked Ashley if I could use the same name for the site. This is my first layout i ever got done that looked desent. Hope you like.

Ashley and I will be getting a domain for it pretty soon. so it should be up in a couple weeks. I just wanted to see what you guys thought of it so far.

Thanks
Chrissy

Liquid Sex..

Bradford posted at his MY SPACE last Thursday..

(I bet we get lots of hits with that title)

Hear Me Sing!

Well at least a little piece of me singing..

The ABC Daytime Valentine's CD is about to be released.. you can go to this link below and hear previews of the songs!

http://soapnet.go.com/specials/loveaffair/

I haven't heard a full cut of my song.. but someone told me it sounded like liquid sex. Hmmm. I guess that means it sounds ok. I can't imagine my voice has the capacity to sound like liquid sex.. But check it out and tell me what you think!

The State of Spinelli

I had high hopes for Spinelli's involvement in Lulu's kidnapping, but sadly it has certainly become more about the Johnny/Lulu/Logan triangle. Unfortunately, Spinelli got zero credit for doing basically all the work to find her! He was the one who got the call from Lulu, he figured out where she was, he was able to get into the monestary, he found Lulu and Johnny when they were trapped, he kept himself from being taken and then managed to figure out where they took Lulu and Logan, and THEN he's the one who got Jason, who kept Johnny from blowing Lulu up! But no credit. No aftermath. Just four straight days of NOTHING.

So what does this mean for Spinelli/Bradford? It seems as though he has plenty of fans, if Super Soap Weekend and Fan Club Weekend are any indication, his co-workers have nothing but glowing things to say about him, and the management of the show has also professed great liking for Bradford and Spinelli. Then why does he seem to get the short end of the stick in storylines? He's never been seriously considered for a romantic storyline (let's face it, they KNEW they were going to kill Georgie...), plays second (or third...) fiddle in rescue attempts, and then goes days without any scenes. Something doesn't add up...

It seems to me that the story of Spinelli has been "missed opportunity" since day one. There have been innumerable stories and scenes that could have opened the door for some backstory or characterization, but nothing leaves the ground. Why is this? Why, if Bradford is so well looked upon and Spinelli is so wildly popular, do they continue to leave him in the shadows, restricted to "supporting actor" status, practically a recurring role at times?

My question to you is: should we be worried? What can we really do to make a change here? I do not think it's as though they just don't value him, so what can we do as fans? Anything...?
