General Hospital: August 2023 Discussion Thread
Since you repeatedly say all the couples suck and that none of them have chemistry, it's fair to ask what you think chemistry is? What soap couples (on GH or elsewhere) have had chemistry in your eyes? Do you listen to yourself? This place "is not that important" and yet you're here, complaining because someone insulted you. You also claim no couples have chemistry and follow that up with "I delete without watching" if the episode has characters you don't care for. Since you think NONE of the couples has chemistry, that means you must delete just about every episode. Make it make sense.

Fully agree about Eric/Sloan. Missed opportunity. Jason Gerhardt was much better than Jessica Serfaty, in my opinion. I don't think she brought anything to those scenes. And mush mouth Roman is really hard to take. Part of it is that he talks to much, and part is that he talks at all.

I had no problem with the reciprocal sex, or that it was clearly oral. Yes, we've all had crushes, but I just don't see how or why Dimitri is attracted to Leo, stupidly or not. The gay banter? Dimitri never reacts much to that. At least if you tell me it's because Leo is one horrific human being, I might accept that. I just can't accept the idea that Gwen is this dumb, I can't accept all these close calls, I can't accept Dimitri putting his entire fortune in danger just to screw Leo. The whole thing is ridiculous. Why marry Gwen in the first place? Why not hire a beard -- marry her and put her on salary to satisfy the will.

Y&R August 2023 Discussion Thread
"Desolate and poverty-stricken"? Huh??? Y&R has problems, including set problems, but the show does not look like there's no budget. I completely disagree with that. The discussion today about baby Aria's hearing was so bad. What a botched way to introduce this. I have no problem with a story about a baby's hearing loss, but why wouldn't Tessa and Mariah clap or bang a pot to see if she reacted. Their confusion made no sense. Neither did Sharon's "I'm sure she was just tired! Everything is fine!" NO parent would react that way.

I'm sorry, but if you're both-sidsing this, you haven't been paying attention.

Today's episode was major suckage, beginning and ending with The Leo Show. The attempts at camp and sharp gay humor are a FAIL. The attempts to make Leo an object of lust and desire are a FAIL. The attempts to make any of this entertaining or progressive for daytime are a FAIL. It is breathtaking that Carlivati (or Giddens or whoever) believes that we want to see Dimitri give a BJ to Leo.

Yep to RJ. That's all I got.

This show is so embarrassing. Just imagine everyone in town has nothing to do but talk about relationships -- OTHER people's relationships -- and who should be with whom. Just imagine someone like sl_ut Brooke Logan (of all people) dispensing relationship and marriage advice to her daughter or to ANYONE. Ditto who_re Ridge. Just imagine a simp of a woman like Hope who screws Thomas with mad lust one day and the next says "Oops." The truth is, even if we remove Liam from this show, it's still GARBAGE.

Great points here and in your full post. This has to be the worst hospital in America, soon to be even worse when con artist Talia is added to the staff. Fully agree on the towels in the Dimera living room. Those end credits should have stills of the towel boys while dispensing with that phucking awful credits music they use. That bakery is a fail and should be shut down. Spot on about Talia, a character who outlived her usefulness after 3 weeks. Terrible character, terrible writing, mediocre actress.

Best part of the episode. Johnny should be hitting it all over town instead of pining over the same couple girls who can't see what's in front of them. That hospital scene where Sloan dropped to the floor. My God, what a way to emphasize how few people work at that podunk hospital. Just ridiculous that we didn't immediately see a lot of onsite help. Instead, this was used to show us Talia's medical skills??? As I've said before, Talia does not have the presence and gravitas of a doctor. NOTHING about her says "Yeah, let her operate on me." Sloan losing the baby? Even that was so low energy I couldn't care less.

I'd forgive it if it looked good. It doesn't. It's really awful. I swear Sarah is being written by people who absolutely hate her.

I think one can act like an adult at a daughter's birthday party without smiling at a spouse you just cheated on and decided to divorce. It's ridiculous.

Why the hell is Hope SMILING at Liam during Beth's birthday party??? Has she lost her mind, is she on drugs, or is she just an idiot??? And why is RJ lecturing and preaching reconciliation to Hope and Liam??? Shouldn't he be hitting on some fine young ladies in town, or even checking out other guys' pecs and arms at the rooftop gym?

The problem is that "the real Days" is mixed in with the "WTF Days." Those solid Victor scenes were in the same episode with the total garbage scenes including Leo, Gwem, Dimitri, and Madonna. That means the tone of the episode varied WIDELY from scene to scene, and it didn't work.

Maybe I'm missing something. I don't understand how piecing flats like that creates an optical illusion of a bigger room.

Days: August 2023 Discussion Thread
I know I harp on how bad DAYS' sets are, but here's an example. Look at the wall behind Wally Kurth. The flat is pieced just a foot or so to the left of the door. It's also pieced a few inches from the draperies on the left. Who builds houses/apartments this way? This is standard on so many DAYS sets that I can't believe it -- and no other soap does it. It looks cheap and ugly.
