General Hospital: April 2023 Discussion Thread
Brando and Sasha should've been written off together at the end of 2021 in a happy ending with a healthy baby instead of the dark turn it took to force a story for them. All it would've taken was Cyrus ordering a hit on Brando from prison for betraying him for Sonny to set them up in a new life in parts unknown to write their exit out of town. Gladys could've joined them later on. I think they are setting up for Sasha to become Nina's legal daughter that she will take in once Gladys bleeds her dry on the money. Nina and Sonny (Via Brando) are her only connection left in town and she did spend the holidays with them last year on Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's the best way to keep the character around by tying her to them. They will never break up Millow to give her back those ties through Michael that gave her a bigger role. Cody is a nothing character that will keep her off in filler land. Nina will step up to takeover as Sasha's guardian and Sonny will back her up to honor Brando and she will become their responsiblity since Gladys has failed her on whatever time is left on the deal Martin cut to keep her freedom.

General Hospital: March 2023 Discussion Thread
Ugh. Carly and Drew is her worst pairing in 25 years. They are so corny, goofy, and sappy. Not to mention boring and pointless in the once a month talking about this non story of theirs. I really hate them as much as the last rendition of Carson and Jarly. Carly's character doesn't work with a Dudley Do Right. They need to recast Jax to start off a CarJax reunion. He will get knee deep into this Joss and Dex romance (+Michael's role in it to ruin Sonny) to get her involved in a real story again. Carly is a waste of screen time right now cause she is not doing a thing except sitting around all day. CM is so terrible on GH. It's time to move on back to Hallmark movies. He came off like a game show host at the Portis and Curtis wedding reception doing the intros like it was the Super Bowl. He was so OTT in the worst way. Good guy. Bad recast. Is there any news on VM coming back as Brenda for the Nurses Ball/60th? I like Sonny more with Nina than Carly. MB has better chemistry with CW than LW. I still want Brenda back for Sonny at some point. I would love even a visit for a week. They were the last real supercouple on GH.

Good & Bad Paternity/Maternity Reveals & Changes
I don't want to be struck in prisoner of the moment, but I think a current one is right up there in the bad. Carly getting a free pass in eight minutes for keeping this a secret for eight months. No fallout. No payoff. Nobody on Nina's side mad at her. Everyone kissing Carly's ass. It was revenge. Plain and simple. How they have worked overtime whitewash and protect her is ludicrous. No mention of the countless times she has kept parents from their kids like it's a one off. She loves to play judge and jury on who has the right to know about their family. It turns my stomach how they've twisted this.

Destructive Couple Pairings on Soaps
1. Hope/Liam and Steffy/Liam Either one. It doesn't matter. No two couples in the last decade and a half have dominated one soap and dunked on more characters to give these two pairings stories and reunions. Unlike the others listed in this thread, there is never a break from it. Steffy left for a few years. Hope then left for a few years. Liam was always there to keep one or the other going. 2. Lily and Cane When three different regimes see it was time for a break from this boring repetitive nightmare, but they are held hostage by a fanbase that forces Sony to keep the characters together to the detriment of creative, you are letting the inmates run the asylum. You might as well had the keys over to them instead having to reverse decisions already set in motion on employment and storylines. Cane should've stayed dead that night he was shot to death. Kudos to whoever it was that drove the nail into a coffin they've been trying to shut for years. 3. Jason and Sam See the above. Other characters were sacrificed to keep them going when they ran out of gas. Fans having too much power when a regime is ready to move on for awhile. Other than a short break when there was no SB or BM, I think they overtook the show for 15 years. Worst of all was the Jake Doe is Jason Morgan story for Jasam 2.0. Nik, Liz, and Laura all tossed under the bus to setup the grand reunion by keeping the secret. Lucky was dragged into the deception when he came home for a day. Hayden put on ice for the summer to keep her from spilling the truth. It's still being felt today as Nik's dark turn started right here.

Ava is fully or partially responsible for the following deaths. Vincent Serfini Shot by Julian for telling vital info to Shawn and Max during a beating. Kicked into the harbor by Ava even though he was still breathing on the ground. Connie Falconeri Cold blooded murder. To cover up Julian's identity. Which put into motion the next killing... AJ Quartermaine Framed him for the above murder. Removed security footage from the MC to show only AJ going into Connie's office that night. Gaslight the hell out of Sonny to finish the job she tried to do twice. Tracy hit Carlos over head with vase and Ava's gun jammed when she tried to kill AJ. Morgan Corinthos Replaced his meds with placebos after he came home from the clinic recovered from a breakdown. Sent him into a manic episode that lead to stealing Julian's car. Stepped out of the vehicle to a exploding bomb by her sister Olivia that was meant for her brother. Sabrina Santiago Blackmailed DA Paul into throwing Julian's murder trial or else she would reveal him as the serial killer. Allowed him to continue to roam free until he stabbed Sabrina to death for catching him in the act. Kiki Jerome Repeatedly told Ryan that she couldn't stand the sight of her daughter. Port Charles wasn't big enough for the both of them were her words after Kiki slept with Ava's boyfriend Griffin. He took care of the problem for her to make her happy. Nikolas Cassadine See this week.

ARTICLE: RUMOR REPORT: Which Performer is Causing a “Tense Situation” on Set?
#1: NLG I feel the wording of this one is meant to get us to think it's one of the two alpha males left in daytime (MB or EB) but in fairness they've been the unfair targets of the online rumor pushers for the last two decades. If you had a dime for everytime MB or EB were blamed for a male actor getting fired cause they were "threatened" or when a popular couple is broken up cause they were "jealous" you might be able to buy a new car. It comes with being the clear cut stars on their soaps and both are honest to a fault about their egotistical moments. If MB is so difficult to deal with on the set...I would like to know why damn near everyone on that cast (and some crew) will use their free time to go to be on his podcast. It makes no sense to spend time away from the set with this so called dictator. He is talked about by current and former co-stars in too much of a positive light for it to justify the absurd levels of assumptions. There are endless stories of love and respect for him in the genre to those he reached out to when they were struggling with depression. EB is on much less these days and has won over haters for his politics to lessen the slander crowd, but it wasn't too long ago that he supposedly had full control of CBS Daytime when a casting or story uproar took off. He was the devil at one point. Again...they aren't shy in their books (etc) on being open on their moments of being an ass...but there is plenty of other male or female divas roaming those halls right now. NLG is my choice just based on the times. She seems like a miserable confrontational person that would be highly uncomfortable to work with this era of right vs left. I will bet any amount of money there will be the biggest sigh of relief EVER when she cleans out her dressing room for the last time. No filter. Can't restrain herself. Never pulls punches. Beyond vulgar. Very intimidating presence. If there is even a trace of her online behavior on the set....I have to think she can rub others the wrong way with ease. No way does some of that not spill over into her work setting. NLG has been taking shots at current and former castmates for years. I would keep my mouth closed and only make small talk with her.

General Hospital: August 2021 Discussion Thread
Your are not alone. They have good romantic chemistry. Way better than their couplings with Carly and Jax. I hope Sonny is so pissed off at Jason & Carly that his anger for Nina will slip through the cracks. If they botch the business and turn into lovers, that will be the single focus of his rage. I want Sonny and Nina to be the real thing one day.
