GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread
This had been stricken completely from my memory, and I just had to look at it. I wouldn’t mind a Miguel mention if the show didn’t dip into that well too much already. You know- Jagger being back in name only and his reasons for hating Sonny, Jason living at Bobbie’s, Luke’s dead but Geary won’t be playing a part, the poorly executed return of Jeff Webber, Jackie Templeton. The list goes on and on, and it has all amounted to bad fanservice. I saw some rumblings online, please tell me Frank isn’t getting rid of Blaze (sending her on tour), but keeping the mom? I am not even enjoying their story, but if they keep the bigot and dump the Lesbian? No.

If GH thinks us watching this Heather story is going to move their ratings up, they are mistaken. Watching several contract players rotating in and out of this unpopular story about a recurring character makes me really scratch my head. In one episode Trina, Laura, Liz, and Portia were supporting players to this stupidity, and none of them has a story of their own right now. How is this proper showrunning? I might be more willing to give the show some grace, except the writing team has been in place since May when PM’s exit was announced. As far as Kristina goes, I am truly upset at the show for basically ignoring TJ and Molly as actual characters, while centering everything around Kristina. When Mulcahey’s work started airing, right away every beat of the stories were being shown. Now we are back to a focal person or two, and everyone else is just there to support scenes of that focal character. I cannot believe anyone looks at this canvas and thinks we have to create a storyline for a recast Heather’s murder hip to keep her, and also decided to make Ava the most bumbling excuse for a villain who appears to be so far in a corner only an exit could be coming. Even if it was time to go Maura West deserves better.

Whoa. I will be looking into his case. As I said I don’t really follow her, so this is new information for me. How stupid of her husband and how blind of her.

Can anyone give me the short version on what the hell she is talking about? Saved her family? I was just coming here after seeing Byrne’s posts. I never followed her online, I had no idea she was this radicalized for Trump.

The truth is that in the reality of this show they should have never made this arrangement. IIRC Kristina has often been characterized as flighty and impulsive from way back. In this reality I absolutely see Kristina flaking on the agreed arrangements because she doesn’t think things through. Especially in the glow of a new romance, she was already playing family. With someone that left her in the hospital in her worst moment to eat at a nice restaurant. Not the hospital cafeteria so she could be close. Molly and TJ’s baby and the Davis family overall were doomed from the start. Personally, I think this is making Kristina look awful and verging on unwatchable. We see clearly that she was never going to be able to hand that baby over.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Executive Producer Frank Valentini Embraces New Writing Team, Says Fans Will Have “Much To Look Forward To”
Whatever the power struggle is about or who the players are, Valentini got back control of the writing. He lost Michael Easton, JPS, and Roger before them. And the show is bringing back Lucky and Lulu. He has suffered some blows in this round of struggles bts.

A part of me wishes Katherine had left the show when her marriage to Ned story ended. They never really got a full character out of her. But I would not trade the Ball and those scenes with Laura and Stefan and her falling for anything. She should have stayed dead, but they weren’t willing to go that far with Luke in 1998. Laura asking her since when do we look anything alike and the way MBE played those scenes was so good, haunting even. It was possible for the Bobbie marriage to work for a couple of years and still get where they did with Katherine. Might have worked better too instead of trying to make Stefan her shooter and her savior.

Back then, the only time I felt Laura was well dressed and styled was right around Lucky’s dead storyline. She had flattering bangs, her character was with Stefan and she was dressing up more. You know the show felt so too because right around this time she all of a sudden had a new round of photos taken that ended up in soap mags for months.

I hate that characterization. And Genie wasn’t there to push back, to ask why would Laura accept that? Part of the push and pull of their connection onscreen and off was he had a partner that also protected her character and grounded him. Left fully to his own devices and this is what we got. At the moment, it was easy to buy stuff like that as how broken he had become after what happened to Laura. The problem was he latched onto it as a truth from the beginning instead of an excuse for how he was behaving without her and because of the guilt he felt for his part in her breakdown.

ARTICLE: ‘General Hospital’ Sets New Writing Team Led By Elizabeth Korte, Chris Van Etten & Cathy LePard
I already have a vote of no confidence considering how sloppy their work has been for weeks. Just not happy about this news and for the first time since 2011 I am afraid for the show. They have not moved those ratings up enough considering it was them the whole time! What the hell is ABC doing?

GH: Casting Call for "Lauren" ⏤ Code for Lulu Recast?
I liked her. That teen scene was the last time I felt they had something that was working as well as the 90’s group (as good as was possible on ABC in the late 2000’s anyway). And they had a group that could have been the building blocks for taking center stage on the show at a future point. And they decided to dismantle it instead and skip to Michael and Kristina, which has not worked like I think that earlier group would have.

GH: Mulcahey OUT!
Based on how sloppy the show has been for the last couple of months, all I feel is disgust with this decision.

Considering how laughable that seems in relation to his repeatedly casting the same two men over and over again in new roles, I doubt it. Seems more likely to me that he doesn’t want to deal with Bryan Craig again, or the complaints if they replace him and Craig bitches online about it, plus MO’s complaints.

Must be more of a yes man to Frank. These sloppy people have had months to tighten up the show, and instead it’s gotten worse. So disappointed.
