Lol! I didn't think he was that bad.

Yeah, Avery and Donna are redundant. One needs to be aged or sent off. Giving Sonny two later in life daughters makes no sense. At least make one of them a boy or make Avery Morgan's kid.

That's a really good point. Charlotte should have been the catalyst to Rocco feeling neglected and looking into his conception/birth.

I like Hudson West. I'd bring him back too. The show really does need to age Georgie a bit and bring on another female. You could age up Avery. I like the Asian Quarter idea better, so the show will go with Avery lol. I suppose Storms "break" and Bradford's availability probably makes aging Georgie difficult. Honestly, Felicia and Mac could pick up the slack there though.

Agreed. I think the kids are good in this moment. I don't see either actor continuing the characters into adulthood like JJ as Lucky or Amber as Emily. Although the show did keep Haley Pullos. I am still perplexed as to why Jake and Aidan have disappeared. I'll preface this by saying I don't care if I ever see Charlotte again and I am fine with her erasure on the show. It is odd she's not even slightly involved in the Rocco story. They were supposed to be close and they could compare notes on both being stolen embryos.

Mazza isn't the best at anger, but he's improved so much since he started I believe he will continue to get more comfortable. Isn't this his first acting job? He was more of an entertainer with his music before I think. I agree that the young actors that play Rocco and Danny are quite good though. I would be shocked if we saw either character ever again, especially Alcazar. I think Swickard is much better than Tanisha Harper. He seems able to keep up with the actors around him, so he never sticks out in a bad way to me. I think the character is useless though. I don't think Tanisha is coasting or not trying. She's just not very good and miscast. She looks the same age as her (invisible) son. Unfortunately, Jordan has always been a thankless role that doesn't have a lot of purpose. Vinessa Antoine had the ability to sell the character, but Jordan's never been a high priority for the writers and moves from random story to random story.

I was complimenting Outback on his ability to hit his marks better than Mo these days😂 Tanisha/Jordan is like a break time character for me. Jordan doesn't outright offend me, but the minute she's on screen I think about dishes that might need to be done or laundry that might need to be washed and completely check out. I just think Harper is very miscast in the role.

Hey, I at least think Tanisha Harper is part human/android. I am not sure Rachel Boyd is anything but a robot. I swear even the actress playing Ari, who was talking, was like what the eff are you looking at Sophia? But that's for the Days thread...... I'd list so many actors before GM as worst on GH. Honestly, Outback the dog is more talented than some of the GH cast.

GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
Listen, I had to watch Rachel Boyd as Sophia on Days today try to emote, so Tanisha Harper doesn't even seem that bad. Tanisha tries to convey emotion once and awhile. I still think she's robotic as heck, but she's not distracted by one extra walking by Horton Town Sqaure like Sophia.

Fair enough. GM is an odd choice to go after when it seems like Gio is pretty much universally well liked among the audience.

GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
I think Giovanni Mazza is a real find for the show. He's a good actor, has musical talent, is hot, and has charisma to spare. I mean, that checks more boxes than half the cast on GH. He is definitely not the worst actor on the show lol.

I am sure Rachel Boyd is a lovely woman and I hate harping on how awful she is, but she's barely believable as a human being while acting. She kept looking sideways while Ari was talking and it's so distracting. The children on the show are much more natural actors than she is. I love how Chad/Cat having strep throat is so debilitating. It sucks, but like, people get it everyday without having to stop their entire lives. I think the jury has only been sequestered for a few hours. I believe it's the same day? Also it was hilarious Tate and Holly could have sex, Belle drove home, checked the mail, came upstairs and caught Tate/Holly while EJ/Marlena were having one conversation.

GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
It does remind me a bit of Brenda and Lucky's returns. But they were characters the audience actually cared about, so the isolation wasn't as awful as watching Britt throw tantrums. Or hit on "married" men like she did today. And believe me it becomes an A plot right as of right now.

Sophia's actions make no sense. Obviously, the actress is very weak, but no part of her "plan" works. MK's Sophia was a bit of a vixen with some ulterior motive's while Rachel Boyd's Sophia comes off pathetic. She basically had a golden ticket with the baby (even if it's Aaron's) because it's clear Tate has some affection for Sophia. Sophia needs a recast and a new personality to be a viable spoiler for Holly/Tate.

I think I recall Luke saying Foster died as well. Luke was kinda a downer. The dog story was silly-ish. But it provided some levity in a heavy Labine era. I don't think the minor dog story took away any potential airtime from Wyatt. It's was like 10 mins a month lol. Wyatt's time on the show just didn't match the era anymore. Although I am sure others would disagree. No disrespect for Sean/Tiffany, but they did feel slightly dated in the 90's. ETA-I am not saying you couldn't find story for Sean/Tiffany, but I felt their story concluded very naturally and the characters just moved on.

I wonder what happened to Courtney's cute dog that disappeared after Jason gave it to her in 2002. Everything about Britt's entire existence is stupid and that's all I'll say for today. Stealing embryos is obviously illegal and gross, but it's not like Britt cared about the actual human she was stealing.

GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
I am not much of a dog person at all, but a silly dog story reminds me of the Foster/Annabelle side story in the 90's. They were part of the Faces of the Heart 90's credits!! Actually, Lulu would have gotten bonus points if she mentioned Foster. Tbh, Foster/Annabelle had a more believable love story than 90% of the current love stories with humans on the cast today lol. The Britt/Liesel story about Rocco is insane. It was never once about Britt wanting a child. It was a manipulation tactic to get Patrick. It wasn't some poor woman desperate to have a child.

It's probably Sidwell or something, but I feel like we haven't seen JPS lately and it's about time for him to grab some quick cash from GH.

I'll be honest and say I actually don't know what I'd do with Carly. Most of you guys are much more creative than I am. The only thing I can think of is something traumatic happening to her or someone around her and then leaving town for 6-12 months and coming back reset as a character. Perhaps with a new love? Because when she's on the show Carly talks about changing and being out of the "life", but immediately reverts back.
-
GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
Agreed about Carly. With all the talk about how much this regime loves Carly the writing is giving her very little. She's basically a supporting character in other people's stories with a C pairing that gets 10 minutes every 2 weeks lol. Jason is probably my least favorite out of the trio, but I still have some affection for 90's Jason, so I'd be adaptable to a good story for him.

The whole Jason return went off the rails very quickly. Whether it was the BTS changes or lack of plan, it's been a flop. As Vee stated, the show is paying Steve way too much money to be supporting. It seems like Steve is finally at a place where he is willing to play stories out with his family and the show is wasting that potential to bring on Britt. There is no way that Britt/Jason leading the show will bring viewers in. It's a shame because this pairing will eventually flop too since Britt has the depth of a puddle and is an all-around unlikeable character. I still think Jason is way less played out than Sonny or Carly and that there are other options for him.

GH: August 2025 Discussion Thread
I actually blame the show more than I blame Steve/Jason or any woman on the canvas. While the show didn't need Jason back, that's not really Steve or Jason's fault. The show's only plan for Jason seemed to be pairing him with LW's Carly-something that had failed a few years ago. There wasn't a plan B. Like Jason or not, Steve has always been able to generate popular pairings with his co-stars not named Laura Wright. The writers just gave Jason two of the strangest options-his ex-girlfriends mom or boring Sasha. You could have tested Jason with Ava, Nina, or even Lois (sorry @Vee). It's also not like there isn't a popular Jason love interest right there on canvas for him in Liz, but the show won't go back there. So now we get the crazy, back from the dead Britt story that will eventually fade out as a last ditch effort. I'll go as far to say I actually think it was a mistake to kill Sam off so early into Jason's return.

From a woman who was once engaged to Bryan Craig and has quit 3 or 4 time "forever" this does not surprise me lol. She obviously makes great personal choices.

I'd do something totally crazy like have Willow drug Michael with opiates and pretend to sleep with him. While leaving the Q mansion Chase catches her. He's drunk because he and Brook Lynn got into another fight about a baby and Willow seduces him. Willow gets pregnant, tells Michael he's the dad, but also blackmails him about the opiates. Michael, thinking he did take the opiates and slept with Willow gives her some form of custody, maybe even contemplates a reunion. Willow loses the baby, but someone inadvertently finds out its Chase's. Chaos ensues! Brook/Chase breakup, Michael gets his kids back, and Willow goes off to the looney bin or jail for awhile. A lot of details would have to be figured out, but I want maximum destruction from Willow.
