Yikes someone didn't do their research, Joss already knows this

 

 

They know this. They are showing Joss as the true hypocrite she is.

Joss has been a hypocrite for a while now. Its not like she didnt know Sonny ran a MOB and Jason as enforcer killed for him. What did she expect Dex as his new enforcer was gonna do, pour coffee?

I know it has only been a few days but I never thought I would see such a noticeable improvement in the writing on any of the soaps that are left. 
 

 

YES

The scenes are longer

Dialogue is smarter

Now Willow's worried??? LOL

What was the reasoning for replacing Dane Witherspoon with Mark Arnold?

I cant with some on soaptwitter

Seems to some that Heather is on more than most contract actors (its been 7 episodes since Jan 2024) 

GH may also be saving Taby's guarantees until NAC returns as Spencer

I just fail to see when Heather became so erratic. Even during Robin Mattson's previous tenures Heather appeared level-headed, but it seems like they wanted her over-the-top and unmanageable, and it's very.... off-putting. Unless that's simply how Alley Mills interpreted the material she was given, so they're rolling with this punch.

Pratt/Guza made her a cartoon Villian killer in 2004. She killed Ross Duncan  framed Skye and kidnapped Laura

All because of some 1980's ONS she  had with Luke  ( which never aired in the 80's)

RC continued this

Maybe PM & EK finally wanna answer how and why she may have began killing

Heather was prepared to murder Diana Taylor 40 years ago. I don't think she's going to reform that much, or at least I wouldn't buy it. She's always been nuts. Can I allow for her turning really psychotic in more recent times, sure. It's not like they didn't turn her into a cartoon starting when she first came back in '04.

Exactly

Whatever said poison has done to her most likely cannot be undone

What indication is there that they're saying Heather sold Steven Lars because of a hip replacement she almost certainly had afterwards? This whole development is likely only being done to mitigate Heather's more recent history of serial murder.

Yep the first time she killed on screen was 2004

So I could see them saying the hip replacement was like 20-25 years back

Also I knew a few long term fans like me have stated on soap blogs ever since her 2004 return when did Heather become a killer?

Yikes if they do that, I literally have no hope for the new writer's at all. A hip replacement made her sell her kid??? yikes 

No she sold her kid in 1977 because she was mad at Jeff

She took LSD in 1979 and this hip thing is could be decades old. So the LSD trip plus the posion leaking from the hip could have altered her brain chemistry. That combo could have made her act out more violently.

Right. And they've got fans saying they are racist. 

Nope. Timeline. I'm sure it will be established that the hip replacement wasn't ages ago. They only want an explanation for being a serial killer so they don't have to keep losing salvageable sorta villains. 

I dunno Heather did say it seemed like ages ago but Im sure medical records can answer that

Just now, Contessa Donatella said:

How about that? Day 1 & PM/Korte introduce a hospital story?! 

Two

 Marshall getting mis diagonse due to race and class

4 minutes ago, dragonflies said:

Yep, I mean how do they explain her being bat sh*t crazy even when was younger? She didn't have a hip replacement then lol 

Her taking that LSD

Before that she was nutty

she got back at Jeff by selling their kid. 

But the LSD trip and the posion hip could have altered her brain chemistry making her more violent over time.

It was one of C&D's rewrites on the fly that made her supposedly The Hook. She couldn't have been. Me, I'm okay with them fixing it. 

At least this Heather story is an actual medical condition.

IF Heather got her hip replacement decades ago, what the posion already did to her brain may be un-reversable

Id like Trina to be the new face of Deception

Also for the week of 3/18/24

I thought the OG hook was gonna be the ADA that lost her prosecution of Trina

Remember Patrick Mulcahey wrote for Alley Mills as Pam on B& B so I wouldnt be shocked if he uses AM more

Take your pick, really. I thought it was long overdue given her hijinks in the 21st century. But I think it may have been some alcoholism related shenanigans, idk.

I know some folks like to scan Twitter vs. watching the show but I highly doubt they are going to turn noted psycho Heather Webber sane and nice again over a hip replacement. If they want to add some nuance to the character where she doesn't just howl at the top of her lungs about Esme though I won't mind.

Yeah I dont see get out of jail free, just maybe some layers to understanding why she turned into a killer. 

So Thursdays ends with the Jagger Jason Cliffhanger Today ends with Marshall being misdiagonsed because of his class & race. Lovin this #GH so far. Welcome Patrick Mulcahey and Elizabeth Korte.

The Posion from Heather's previous Hip replacement can alter thinking. I have heard about this before. So not judging it yet

EK could be credited first because she has been there 30 years

I am ok with GH trying to figure what turned Heather murderous. Prior to her 2004 return she was not a murder, just kooky. She in fact was stable when she left in 1983. 

Today’s episode of General Hospital is the first by new head writers Patrick Mulcahey & Elizabeth Korte. Script dialogue by Kate Hall.

I had similar hope, but Jason's use of the term mercenary felt very deliberate.  And the idea that unless he carries out his mission, something terrible would happen, doesn't feel like how a network show would want to portray the FBI.  If it was the WSB there might be more wiggle room, but I'm stuck on it being the FBI and that they invoked the RICO law.

Also, the SORAS implications of Jason telling Michael what it was like to hold him as an infant, were distractingly amusing.  Along with the idea that, Jason's been busy as a murder-for-hire assassin for the past two years, but he's also had plenty of time to get a sleeve of tattoos.  Good to know mercenaries have unlimited PTO.

I do think there is more to this and I dont think its as cut & dry as they made the twist seem today. Time will tell. 

Maybe Jagger had Jason become an FBI informant and he was the one telling Jagger about the planned mob killings? 

I hope Jagger doesnt end up being the baddie here.

What if Jagger had Jason go undercover at Pikeman but he found out about the killings and went rogue to find out who the big bad is

Jagger is basically Jason's handler at the FBI
