B&B June 2024 Discussion Thread
This show is a bigger joke every week. And Katie being jealous and upset?? I guess Heather Tom has a guarantee to fill. She'll make faces for 3 days and then disappear. So Finn is cheating on Steffy? As I said yesterday, I no longer care. Steffy is a bi_tch, Finn is a cheat, and Hope is a wh_ore.

I'm done with Finn and the stupid Michael Easton smiles, but if they kill him off, it's a mistake. We've just gone through a major death on the show with days of funeral and grieving, and I don't want to see it again. Just send him off to rehab and stop mentioning him. And no, I don't care about Violet's reaction no matter what they do.

I'm still LMAO at yesterday's show. Not only did we get more OCD offscreen -- ALL of it -- but we were treated to Chelsea wheeling her luggage from place to place. First she dragged it into Adam's suite. Then we got to watch her wheel it around Crimson Lights. Hilarious! Maybe if the story wasn't so bad I wouldn't notice this stuff.

-- Giovanni Mazza (Gio) is solid. Good casting, and I hope we get more of the violin. -- Kirsten Storms is looking good. -- That Metro Court pool makes me laugh. They try so hard to pretend it's a real pool with depth when it's obvious it's a wading pool. -- Eva LaRue is spending way too much time in the tanning booth. She's as dark and red as a lobster.

Agree with all of this. I hate the character and I despise the way ELR talked about the character. "She didn't know" is a lousy excuse and defense for someone in soaps for decades. It's sad that she can't see she's pretty much ignoring what a lot of the audience thinks about Natalia, or is even turning her back on anyone opposed to homophobia. I really want her gone.

GH: June 2024 Discussion Thread
I don't think you beatified Mulcahey or demonized Frank, and I never said you did. Still, you can't deny that A LOT of people have put Patrick on Mount Rushmore. I mentioned Chris & Dan only because so many people have thrown their names into this discussion. I agree that the buck stops with Frank. He is Question #1 when it comes to turning around GH. I understand the mess that is GH, and I've complained about it for a long time. I guess my point was that PM didn't work. You can't save a show when you can't work with others, or don't want to. So PM isn't a "kiss ass"? Well, good for him. To me, that defense is just another way to make him blameless and untouchable. Writers are part of a TEAM. At GH, Frank holds the cards and the power. That's life. I give Mulcahey credit for leaving if he couldn't stand the hierarchy there. But -- in my opinion -- it's laughable to think that PM was anything but difficult to get along with.

I always believed that Patrick Mulcahey quit. Look, I know about PM's rep as a brilliant scriptwriter. What I don't know is how that translates to Head Writer. We were all excited when he came to GH and would be part of a turnaround, but I'm not convinced he was ever the answer. No matter how great his skills, if a writer can't work as part of a team, it won't help the show. I know we like to blame "everyone else" (Korte, Frank, Varni, Chris & Dan), but that doesn't mean Mulcahey wasn't part of the problem on that team. He had to be talked into joining GH, and then quit after a few months. I can only imagine how much turmoil there was BTS. We've seen some good things the past couple months, but we've also seen A LOT of mess. I just don't think it's fair to blame "everyone else" and act as if Saint Patrick was above it all. In-fighting among writers and execs is never a good thing, and we can see that on our screens. I have no idea if GH can lift itself out of this ratings decline, but I hardly think Patrick Mulcahey was the only way out. He wasn't Shakespeare, and this is no Shakespearean tragedy.

Hard Pass. I have no interest in hearing this squint-your-eyes MAGA Cult member talk about anything. Michael Fairman will treat her like she's Meryl Streep. No thanks.

It is beyond stupid that Bill is this happy about the possibility of Luna being his daughter.

-- I agree with Contessa about Maura West. I don't think she's going anywhere. -- So everyone is out running in the park in the same hour? Cool. -- Maxie isn't ready to have sex with Spinelli yet? GMAB. -- I think Patrick Mulcahey quit. I don't believe he was promised "automony" of any kind. He was hired as CO-Head Writer, for one thing. For another, he's been around long enough to know the power structure at GH.
