GH: Classic Thread

Since I am more of a 90's girl, TG was always a little OTT cheesy.  He obviously got worse, but MB and TG are consistently rewarded for doing the bare minimum so they have no reason to change their style.   I will say I never thought TG didn't know his lines, which seems to be a constant problem for MB.   TG just likes to chew the entire set scenery.

I tried to watch a clip from a few months ago and beyond realizing Ingo has just about entirely lost his accent (I have not watched any Jax scenes in about a decade...), my other takeaway was Sonny calling himself Mike and wearing a poorly fitted cowboy hat. I couldn't make it through more than about 15 seconds of him. Maurice is just so awkward to watch at this point and on top of how cheap the show looks now, if you didn't know better you'd think it was some kind of non-actor making his debut in a very very low budget local production.

Ingo has definitely lost his accent pretty much.  When you hear how thick it was in 1996 it's crazy to notice the change.   I actually think MB as Mike is better than him as Sonny these days.  At least some of MB's charisma shines.  Sonny has become such a dour character I think it's an okay change.  I feel like GH looks like a million bucks compared to Days, but when you think of the fabulous location shoots they used to do it is sad.

In all fairness, it does seem a good idea for a MAGA nutbag to kind of want to erase any reminders that he is an immigrant himself. I am sure His Big Orange Daddy doesn't mind white immigrants as much but you know... Might want to make the fact that race is what is motivating his hatred slightly less obvious and hide his own contradictions.

Puerto Rico was the best by far.  I like some of the stuff in Montauk with Jason and Robin.  The Jax/Brenda Malibu house was amazing though.

OOf.  Again, I am not even sure if Ingo can vote.  I have no evidence he is even a citizen.   Full disclosure, I met him once in a non fan setting and he was super nice.   I can separate Jax outside of Ingo as a person, but I can understand if others don't.   It's a hard topic.

    • I really didn't start watching the show until season 12 when I was a teen, so I only caught the last three years. I LOVED the show over all though...even that part of 13 that was a bit messy! So, it's been a treat streaming the previous seasons on Plex. I'm amazed at how well so much of the writing holds up over 30 years later. Far better than a lot that we get today! For the most part, stories move along at nice pace with good twists and turns! I just finished season 11, so I'm finally picking up where I started watching all those years before. When I started watching as a teen, Laura had already died, so while she was mentioned pretty often, I didn't have much background with the character. CM was an amazing actress and had chemistry with everyone. So, it's a bit of a headscratcher that they didn't seem to have any idea of what to do with her starting at around season 7. Her scenes at that point are mostly short, brief, and she has very little true story right until the episodes where she's dying in 9. I wonder what it was about the character that the writers couldn't figure out what to do with her. Also, Ben's exit storyline was a bit confusing for me. I never really got who this woman was who was stalking him and this "secret organization." The whole plot seems like it should be on a different show. Michelle Phillips and Nicolette Sheridan have really fun mom/daughter/frenemies chemistry. I remember having a huge crush on PP's Michael and being disappointed when he was written out at the end of season 12. 
    • mayoclinic: Symptoms of narcissistic personality disorder and how severe they are can vary. People with the disorder can: Have an unreasonably high sense of self-importance and require constant, excessive admiration. Feel that they deserve privileges and special treatment. Expect to be recognized as superior even without achievements. Make achievements and talents seem bigger than they are. Be preoccupied with fantasies about success, power, brilliance, beauty or the perfect mate. Believe they are superior to others and can only spend time with or be understood by equally special people. Be critical of and look down on people they feel are not important. Expect special favors and expect other people to do what they want without questioning them. Take advantage of others to get what they want. Have an inability or unwillingness to recognize the needs and feelings of others. Be envious of others and believe others envy them. Behave in an arrogant way, brag a lot and come across as conceited. Insist on having the best of everything — for instance, the best car or office. At the same time, people with narcissistic personality disorder have trouble handling anything they view as criticism. They can: Become impatient or angry when they don't receive special recognition or treatment. Have major problems interacting with others and easily feel slighted. React with rage or contempt and try to belittle other people to make themselves appear superior. Have difficulty managing their emotions and behavior. Experience major problems dealing with stress and adapting to change. Withdraw from or avoid situations in which they might fail. Feel depressed and moody because they fall short of perfection. Have secret feelings of insecurity, shame, humiliation and fear of being exposed as a failure. --- Or maybe Leslie simply has Soap Villain Syndrome.
    • Ambryn Michelle and Trisha Mann-Grant are easily the most charismatic actresses to grace daytime in a longggggggg time. This show wouldn’t be as good without them, IMO. 
    • whatever she has is far worse. Narcissism is just a symptom for deeper issues.

    • What is it? I already know Ambyr was electrifying.
    • The show isn't great right now, but I do hope it can stay on, unlikely as that may be. I guess at least it's better than this time last year. I will say it doesn't really feel like Shortland Street anymore.
    • You guys are going to die when you watch the first scene of today's episode.
    • True. We agree here. She is far from done.
    • Jacob's brother is named "Luke" and their mother is named "Darlene", for the sake of specifics and all.
