Media for today.

Apologies for the extreme lateness of this post. I had a couple of appointments yesterday plus some quality time with my partner. I’m going to ask this one question that so far has remained unanswered: When does Tamara get her own story and drive it? Seems her primary job is to forever be the cheerleader for Julian (William De Vry). She’s also very much a hypocrite. Her first episode back had Kim chastising Sonny (Maurice Benard), openly, for his being a mobster, yet here she is wanting to get together with Julian even though he’s committed crimes of his own. They are:
– Committed various crimes while working for and running the Jerome organization [1988-1990]
– Kidnapped and murdered his sister Olivia [1990]
– Killed Johnathon Paget during a gunfight [1990]
– Operated an online gambling ring and knowingly lured Morgan Corinthos into gambling debt [revealed Aug 2, 2013]
– Shot Vince, a henchman within his organization, and left him to die in the harbor [Sept 16, 2013]
– Ordered Carlos Rivera to destroy a shipment that belonged to Sonny Corinthos [Sep 18, 2013]
– Ordered his henchmen to ransack the Corinthos coffee warehouse [revealed Oct 23, 2013]
– Ordered Carlos Rivera to kill Morgan Corinthos [Oct 28, 2013]
– Imported and distributed illegal drugs [Apr-May 2014]
– Arrested for drug trafficking [May 21, 2014]
– Shot Mickey Diamond [Jul 29, 2014]
– Arrested on charges of fraud and conspiracy to aid in the wrongful imprisonment of Luke Spencer [Dec 3, 2014]
– Ordered Carlos Rivera to kidnap Ric Lansing and hold him in the trunk of a car [Dec 18, 2014]
– Falsely confessed to the murder of Anthony Zacchara and sentenced to Pentonville [Jan 8, 2015; charges dropped Feb 18, 2015]
– Escaped from prison [Jan 29, 2015]
– Shot Johnny Zacchara in the shoulder [Feb 3, 2015]
While Kim may believe in second chances, I’d say she needs to be a little more even in her condemnation of criminality. But then given we see her so little, my feeling is no one cares. Right now Tamara is averaging about seven episodes per month despite the fact she is a proven talent.
Finally got those computer issues figured out and was able to get the work done. Here’s Tamara’s episode for now yesterday. While I liked the scenes with Drew (Billy Miller), I’m still getting a Carly feel from how Tamara is playing “Kim”. I keep seeing Tamara as a single Carly raising Morgan on her own.
Another day where Tamara is supporting other characters instead of driving her own stories. Maybe we Tamara fans will finally get the story we came back to GENERAL HOSPITAL for….. Nahhhhh. We don’t matter it seems. Onwards.
Okay so is anyone going to mention the thing…. Ya know the pink elephant in the room? I think you know what I’m talking about. The, the, the thing. The thing that was happening today…. On the show…… Ya know, playing pool and the thing…… I know I said I wouldn’t mention the thing again, but that thing has to be mentioned. The thing that is glaring and so… um … well, glaring.
A new batch of scans for the gallery and press section. In the one article Finding Nero, Tamara talks about coming back to GENERAL HOSPITAL and of her work on other soaps DAYS OF OUR LIVES as Ava/Taylor, and on her historic role of Reese Williams and the first same-sex marriage on ALL MY CHILDREN. I’ve made my feelings known about Tamara’s return to GH in this post: Tamara – General Hospital 01/15/2018 Media & Commentary, so I’m not going to reiterate that here. I know, you’re saying, “Thank god!” All text versions of the articles can be found in the press section linked below the cut.
