GH: November 2025 Discussion Thread
There isn't one. He's just around because Frank likes Carlo Rota, like many actors he keeps around too long. As such they slot him into every scheme that comes along. You may be right about BK but it's still been ruinous to Portia, who was a solid and strong character IMO. I can't really get behind the Lucas stuff because I know they are setting up bringing back Brad yet again, forcing more of Britt/Brad's double act on us and then trying to make Brad and Lucas reunite again. Whereas he and Marco are actually hot. But they all but explicitly said last week or the week before that Marco was Lucas' rebound by having Lucas ask the question.

Portia came on as a principled, driven and notably no bullshít doctor. That's the version of the character I liked. (Her deception re: Trina is literally xeroxed from what Jordan did with Shawn and T.J., the same story copypasted onto two Black women the show keeps in C-story, so I can't really fault her for that.) The show clearly dislikes Portia and/or Brook Kerr, so today we have Portia constantly crashing out instead. They seem to want us to settle for the two most wooden Black performers on the show.

ALL: Errors, Myths, Omissions & Firsts that weren't
How thrilling that a totally new user has resurrected this dead thread, created by a notorious tr0ll (SON tried to ban this word to keep us from reporting people like her too often, but it didn't matter) who spammed this thread for months constantly making errors and omissions, and getting all of her information wrong before defiling the privacy of a dying man and his family. But she's banned from this forum and I'm sure she'd never try to come back.

I don't think Heather's exit has survived to YT. For weeks or months she was hiding the wooden first Nella's pregnancy secret then she was gone. I assume Roy found out and they busted up. She was a fairly consistent presence til then.

Pretty sure the last we saw him dude was bawling his eyes out in an elevator over losing his daughter. I get that RA may have had IRL issues (and I don't even know how true that is) but GH has worked with trickier situations, be it illness or otherwise. Paging Kirsten Storms.

Edge of Night (EON) (No spoilers please)
I would love to see the Lockwood story, or the famous two-hander with Adam and Nicole(?) when she was in jail. I think I'm remembering that right. Or Millette Alexander's two(?) characters. Really any more of Adam and Nicole in their prime. Or the period where they moved Maeve McGuire's Nicole to Miles. I am curious to see them together.

I am behind and proud of it! Hence me saying, not Sonny and Sidwell’s Wife back at this damn axe range. What twink took Frank to an axe throwing bar 10 years ago? How is this the regular place everyone goes to in Port Charles? This ain't Billyburg Brooklyn. They cut to Scout moping at the Davis house and I legit had no idea who she was. Again.

BTG: November 2025 Discussion Thread
LOL this is belated but I was rewatching Andre and Dani's wonderful scenes last week and uh, maybe they should've rethought the ending of the bit where Andre monologues beautifully about his parents who died in a plane crash, only for Dani to follow this up by speaking to them and saying 'thank you for letting him land in my life.' Just saying. Script needed another pass!

It is still so ridiculous Trina is so attached to Curtis after Taggert.

They are also notably leaning on him more than Asher Notevengonnatrytospellhislastname (Antonyzyn?), who is weaker but does have charisma. Again, if this was GH 20-30 years ago he or both would already have a potential love interest. But here we are.

I'd rather have Ric run, cheat Laura out of it (for a year or two anyway) and marry Ava as part of that, with them fúcking and bickering all the way. Forms a power base for both of them. That or him becoming DA yet again.

The other thing with Leslie, in fairness, is they are clearly setting her up to take the fall at Winterfest. A lot of her newfound connections or free movement has come too easily and now she is about to get in big trouble. Which works for me. I'll bet that leech Jan stays by her side though!

ARTICLE: Soaps Need To “Get Back To Couples,” Says ‘General Hospital’ Stars Genie Francis & Maurice Benard (EXCLUSIVE)
That is definitely part of it. But Dante and Lulu are basically at a dead stop though because of the show. I think FV is still hedging his bets hoping to make Lulu get potentially involved with Zombie Nathan and Dante with BLQ for awhile, and also has little interest in major frontburner couples he did not create or bless himself (unless it involves untouchable vets he feels he can't fool with, like Sonny and Carly where they have been on autopilot any time they've been together in the last decade). Dante and Lulu fit that bill. They were one of the last major couples of the Guza years, involve veterans he does not prioritize or a family he does not care for (the Spencers) and he is just letting them meander. I've wheezed about this enough times; they should be a tentpole and helping to lead the show. And Emma and Gio's romantic capers or foibles should be central, not a support peg to Joss, Britt and Sidwell. Frank clearly has contempt for Liz and we know one other party hates her and Jason, that is never happening again.

I'm into it. Only if they spring for a real remote! I'll pass on Naomi, who has been disposable to me since almost Day 1. My only interest is in seeing if she sleeps with Izaiah at some point.

Not unlike Frank Valentini's. They had to be dragged through the Sprina era at gunpoint, and they were clearly deeply uncomfortable with Lucky and Liz back together - they kept trying to push a Kristina angle, and Jonathan Jackson has made it clear for almost 20 years he wanted LNL2, period. As soon as he quit/was pushed, Liz is back to manning the nurses' station and nothing else.

GH has plenty of characters and families. It does seem to currently avoid actively pushing along major romance unless it's for one of FV's pets, as @DRW50 has noted many times. Both Genie and Mo are right about that and I wonder if they've sensed it day to day.

I think he popped up following the Doug ordeal to see Frannie afterwards. I remember her mentioning "Speed" too.
