And I agree, Connie, Spinelli is a good guy! 734997@blogcritics.org Thu, 24 Jul 2008 17:18:13 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/10/231011.php#comment-732560 I completely agree with your assessment of the character and, of course, the actor. I'm not sure I want <i>GH</i> to travel down that road of 'diagnosing Spinelli' though. I love him the way he is! Just because he's differnt, does that mean he has to be labeled? I may feel differently if I thought the writers/TPTB would take us on a journey where viewers would learn about whatever form of autism they would decide he has and follow Spin on his coming to terms. Instead, I fear they would begin to explore it, only to have the story dropped to make room for another gunshot/explosion story that puts current mob fractions on the brink of the dreaded mob war. Remember when they gave Epiphany a heart attack to launch a women's heart health story. We were going to follow her through her recovery... that ended up being about 3 scenes in her hospital room and one luncheon. For a 'medical' based drama, they often fall short in that department and rarely do the topics they broach justice. While I'd love to see more Spinelli laden scenes, I really hope they don't give him a diagnosis. Oh yeah, bring on all that backstory you're talking about. They've been promising us he's going to end up with family connections in PC almost since the day Anderson went from reoccurring to cast member. Just make it a story worthy of this actor's talent. 732560@blogcritics.org Sun, 13 Jul 2008 08:51:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2008/07/10/231011.php#comment-732087 Bring it .. 732087@blogcritics.org Fri, 11 Jul 2008 00:53:28 EDT
