GH: August Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

I get the sense that Guza is desperately trying to find a way to make the Nikolas/Rebecca work so he throwing everything into their story from Ethan to now Elizabeth. I don't much care what Elizabeth and Nikolas do though she better not get pregnant from another one night stand again. I do want Lucky to find out, not give a flying f' and get his own love interest. Too bad pigs will fly first. No way is Nikolas getting stuck with Elizabeth's spawn.

Reminds me there is more whining from Sarah Brown in SID:

"I don't know that the writers want to get me out of the corner. As I look at scripts I don't see them working towards that" "For me, staying is not about $$$. I have 6 or 7 months left. anything is possible"

This is why I keep wondering what the plan is for Claudia. Seems to me that her only hope is that Sonny falls in love with her and forgives her, but with Olivia in the picture, I don't see that happening anytime soon. With all her comments, Sarah Brown sounds worried about Claudia's future. She has said that she talks to Guza and yet she is not getting the redemption that she expected for Claudia. Seems to me that Sarah Brown is trying to force Guza's hand through the press and her fans. She cannot afford to quit, but it does seem like they are writing her as an unpopular character and may even be contemplating writing her out.

Since the GH thread is dead and I am loving the behind the scenes drama, here are more tweets from Sarah Brown. She is not happy.

sarahjoybrownIcon_lock: GH is a fantastic Drama, but Claudia Z is a mess. I've spoken my peace about CZ hurting Kids. I'm strongly opposed to the ideas.U support? sarahjoybrownIcon_lockI: need this Character not to be Evil and willing/capable of killing children. I didn't sign up for that and have zero intrest 0000 #kids

I've only watched up until Wednesdays episode (been catching up today) and there was no Carly for three whole episodes...no Jason for two whole episodes either (though I think Steve Burton was supposed to go on vacation and this time they didn't pre-tape).

Why is she suddenly now upset about killing kids? The shooting with Michael happened eons ago.

That story is such a mess anyway. Whatever happened to the supposed closeness they had? Has that been dropped?

Speaking of actors speaking out, Tyler Christopher had a bizarrely impassioned defense of the Nik/Liz story.

Sarah Brown was never happy with Claudia's involvement with shooting Michael, but she was convinced that Guza was going to redeem her. I think that she is rightly worried because Claudia is not being redeemed and is not a hugely popular character like Carly was.

Tyler Christopher is a fool. His whole spiel about Nikolas always doing the right thing is such BS. Nikolas was cheating on Emily with Courtney a few years ago. He never deprives himself of anything that he wants.

I wish that Lucky could have his own story apart from these characters. I will never believe that there is not one woman in GH who does not want and love a man as hot as Lucky. Insanity this show.

That's because were in Guza and Frons land. Women in PC only want a man in the mob or a "wonderfully quirky" guy like Spinelli (I fail to see the appeal of this character and the fact that he's a fan fave).

I like to know what Greg Vaughn did to make TPTB (and allegedly Tony Geary) hate him.

Probably nothing at all. Guza's very -- odd -- when it comes to his treatment of characters. If he doesn't like a character, he doesn't like a character. No matter who plays it, I believe. It's rumored... I said rumored... that Michael Conforti said he and the other breakdown writers were told constantly by Guza to de-ball Lucky as much as possible (during the drug addiction storyline).

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
