GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

They wouldn't be blood related. Chelsea is a Hamilton/Dupree and Eva is a Richardson/Thomas.

Sadly, it's going to be minority government. Was hoping we wouldn't have another election before 2029 but with it being a minority, there's a chance it would happen. Ugh. Gonna need the NDP to gain more seats because I can see them working better with the Liberals than the Bloc Quebecois.

Thank you. Does anyone know the first day he was listed everyday?

Mark Carney and the Liberal Party will form government in Canada! Thanks God! No word yet if it's going to be a majority or minority government. I hate Pierre Poilievre and I'm so happy to see him blow a 25 point lead from January. For those who don't know, Pierre is a populist who has tendencies to the far right. He went on-and-on about wokeness; he wanted to defund the CBC (Canada's public broadcaster); caters to far right media (like going on Jordan Peterson podcast); has a disdain for real journalism/journalists (doesn't like taking questions from them); his Chief of Staff is a MAGAt. But to be real, Mark Carney/Liberal Party won because of two people: Trump for threatening Canada's sovereignty/imposing tariffs and Justin Trudeau for stepping down. It was suppose to be a Conservative majority before those two things happened. LOL

Since Ryan wasn't listed as "Story Consultant," I wouldn't give him that title. Associate Head Writer is more appropriate.

True....which is why he needs to go and make way for Challis. LOL Well, my storyline direction leads to Craig's death.

Has Dan O'Connor been in the BDW section every day since Jean/Paula started?

Allison has great eyes! I couldn't stop looking at her. 😍 Chelsea/Allison would definitely be a hot couple. LOL I really liked their scenes today with Chelsea opening up about her feelings - this is the most interesting she's been so far.

Great scenes today with Jada/Shawn. Shawn talking about his guilt and Jada talking about her father, and Jada mentioning how being in Salem was right for her because of the people who cared for her father, and then running into Steve. I'm totally on board with Jada/Shawn pairing now. Johnny confiding in Marlena was good too. Another great character driven episode. Back-to-back!

Thanks! Still a long episode.

Oh man what a bad ending to Friday's episode - a closeup of Bill's shaky hands. Wow. The show needs to fix their problem of having these mundane endings whenever there's not a lot going on. The show went to the opening credits after 1 minute and 22 seconds - that's when I knew it was a Gregori Martin episode because there's always something weird in his breakdowns. LOL And it was quick fade to the credits after Doug's dialogue which makes it obvious there were issues with the writing of this breakdown, that going to the credits wasn't organic. I agree that the slang was overdone today with Tyrell and Samantha. Looks like the show will finally be interesting again next week.

Was Friday's episode almost 52 mins on Peacock? Where I watch the show, sometimes they slow down the speed a bit which stretches the runtime. If it really was 52 mins, that was one of the longest runtimes the shows ever had. There were a lot of long scenes which allows more character driven dialogue - we got that with Belle/EJ and Rafe/Jada. Lots of good scenes today from those pairings as well as Belle/Johnny and Brady/Gabi. This was a good character driven episode with a nice little cliffhanger at the end.

Thanks for posting this - the place where I'm watching didn't include the credits today. I really hope their tenure is really good.

There was literally in 11 second scene today (Joey/Vanessa after the credits).....what is this, GH? LOL

Thanks.

Eva is a Swiftie and quoted a song - just another reason to love her. LOL Whoever said Danielle Paige like to make pop culture references was right because we got a lot of them today. I enjoyed most today's episode, minus the Joey/Doug scenes. However, this is another episode with a lacklustre ending.

Come on guys, it's been known for years (decades?) that you're not suppose to post scans of new articles. Will leave this up for a couple of weeks.

Agreed. Another episode ending that doesn't make you anticipate for the next episode. Other than a few episodes here and there, the last 4 weeks or so have been very slow, and yeah, next week looks the same. Andre and Dani hookup again? Come on!! Do something different. Yeah, have this many people part of one family was a bad idea, especially with not balancing it out with another family.

Another lacklustre end to an episode - a hug?? Seriously?? It's been happening a lot lately and it reminds of the Mulcahey/Korte boring era on GH where nothing happens at the end of an episode that makes you want to tune in to the next episode - remember when Jason told Danny he would take him home?? LMAO. 😂 So she's trying to do a real accent? Wow. It's so bad. LOL

What accent is Cady trying to do? Is there such a thing as a Washington D.C. accent? LOL

Glad Carlivati didn't beat Reilly. LOL. Thanks, Jason. Thank you!

I agree. You're a soap opera - BE A SOAP OPERA. LOL I really don't like the abrupt cuts to commercial or credits.
