GH: May Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I think I am pretty open minded when it comes to GH. In the very same post I knock what I feels needs to be knocked, I praise what I think needs to be praised. And it isn't like I am like some others, clinging to one era and one era only as the only good thing to ever come from GH and yearn for the return of Claire Labine the way some wait Jesus to rise. I liked the Franco story, the Keifer story, and now Michael in prison. I dislike just about everything associated with Robin and Patrick; two of the dullest characters on TV portrayed by an actor with no talent and an actress of some talent but who isn't strong enough to resist his vortex of suck.

I try to see the merits to all the periods. Unfortunately, when it comes to Patrick, Robin, Lisa and Steve there just are no merits at the moment, and I doubt there will be going by the last five years of Robin and Patrick.

She returned with no storyline. Skye is one of my favorite soap characters but I wish she never returned. They had no vision for this and its obvious RC probably needed some money. Skye is absolutely useless as they are writing her

Oh ok.

And what was with BrookLynn asking Lulu to help her get a job singing at Metro Court? Didn't Carly already give it to her, or is this part of the plan? (If it is, I don't see what it will accomplish).

Random thoughts from my straight guy friend in a GMail chat:

"Him: whats up with his facial hair?

jeez

me: LOL

That's what everyone says

Him: and is he high or crying?"

Later...

" so it's a hospital run by the mob?"

I think GH was so much better in March and April. I think the show took a step backwards this month. Michael's prison story is a drag, and it dominates the show too much. Too many other characters are being shoved aside. I wish Warren Bauer had been utilized more, and I think the Shirley/Liz story has been poorly handled. Liz/Nikolas scenes turn me off. Lisa came back from jury duty and started getting in between Patick and Robin again. Patrick is really pathetic right now.

In March and April Nancy Lee Grahn and Lexi Ainsworth were great. This month they've been backburnered. Everything revolves around Chad Duell now. I think he's trying hard but is too fresh to carry the whole show. Dahlia Salem is the saving grace of the show right now.

I think Dante erred getting Sonny off and turning in Michael. I think the prison drama would have been far better if Sonny would have gone to jail.

    • I wrote my previous post about Dante being on a 3-day rant while I was at the 30-minute mark of the show. By the end, Dante was back to being reasonable and kind and understanding of everyone and everything. OK, I get it. We all knew that sooner or later we'd get the wise Dante. The mistake was showing him berate Jason IN THE SAME EPISODE and imply he's a lousy father.
    • I think Dante has a larger GH fanbase than both Ava and Nina character wise.  Both CW and MW have a built in fanbase outside GH which isn't really indictive of the characters, IMO.
    • Just this fan's opinion but I have said these writers are the most plot opportunistic maybe ever! They will have any character say just about anything if it advances whatever plot point they have in their minds atm. I think if Dante's POV right now was defensible people would be running it up the flag pole. The fanbase thing you're describing to me it just means they're going to continue to like their fave no matter what. 
    • I think the difference between the head writer change at Days vs GH is that the day to day episode quality at GH was still lacking while the day to day episode quality has improved. And now that there appears to be some depth to the episode content... the limitations of some of the performers on Days is more apparent (i.e. Leo, Alex, Sophia, Cat). However, Rome wasn't built/rebuilt in a day so I'm waiting to see how things are in three to four months once some of the threads/stories from Ron's era are tied up/resolved.. and Ford/Cwikly's long term content kicks off
    • That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode. 
    • Hey, Mike Manning, hey!!! That shirt and those slacks are working today. lol.   Nice to have this Vanessa/Nicole scene.    Look at Kat vs Eva as a cliffhanger.   I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT!!! I KNEW SILK PRESS SHEILA WOULD SHOW UP AT NICOLE'S AT SOME POINT!!!      Another trio of cliffhangers (including Dani vs Ted...another combo today)! Friday cliffhangers indeed!!!  
    • Looking forward to hearing your perspective. Tuesday was a little... ehhh though

      And Ron sort of did like a half-assed rewrite to bring them together. Apparently, Stephanie had never met Alex until 2022, even though she already knew Sonny, Joe and Vic 
    • Friday Thoughts:    June and Hayley are going to turn out to be related, or else why the casting on June's character if not for that.  Their voices and mannerisms are similar and Marquita had mentioned in an interview that we would be finding out more about Hayley's backstory.   Tomas/Eva/Kat is for sure going to be moving full steam ahead.. and I can't wait

      Dani/Bill = yawn    Bill/Smitty = Interest reeved up and we all know that means the secret involving Martin/Smitty/Anita is kicking into high gear for May sweeps. Vanessa/Nicole = A satisfying friendship scene.. and Nicole's statement about Vanessa's outside interests.. I did not see that coming Nicole/Andre = I noticed that Andre volunteered knowing about the affair, but managed to withhold the nugget of information where he had convinced Ted not to confess to Nicole. Dani/Ted = This perked my interest Nicole/Silk Press Sheila = A great way to end a Friday episode.  Sometimes grandma's soaps shouldn't be discarded, but followed. Martin/Smitty = Kat is right that Smitty is too good for Martin.. and Martin did act as though he missed his afternoon nap. Ashley/Derek = Unpopular opinion.. I actually kind of missed them.   I view their scenes as a great way to kickstart a drinking game... take a shot anytime you wonder to yourself what is the point to their characters and/or either one of them says something cringey.  You'll be guaranteed to be buzzing by the end of the episode Previews for next week: Looks like Nicole has found out about Dani/Andre's FWB set up? Kat vs Silk Press Sheila looks promising.      
    • GH isn't that character-driven a show in recent decades. I think reaction depends on whether the character has a passionate fanbase. A character like Ava always has people who will defend her and back her up, as does a character like Nina (when they used to write for Nina, anyway). Dante doesn't.
    • Go 'head, Martin!! GATHER.   Oh my goodness!!! Now we are getting Bill/Smitty. The combos today.
