GH: Classic Thread

Speaking of not being memorable, I never thought Chloe Morgan was. She and Hannah came on in spring 1999, obviously brought on to make Sonny and Jax (and we the audience) forget Brenda. 

I only really thought Hannah got interesting when she got out of Sonny's orbit and was in a developing triangle with Taggert and AJ, of all people. There was especially good chemistry between Real Andrews and Lisa Vultaggio, but the story didn't last long. I don't even remember how Hannah left the show.

It would have been interesting if Chloe had been paired with Sonny instead. I don't remember - did Sonny and Chloe ever cross paths? Jax and Hannah?

I liked them both. I agree on the chemistry between Real Andrews and Vultaggio. 

 

I couldn't see Chloe with Sonny. Tava Smiley was so likeable. I think at the time she was often dismissed as a Katherine replacement. 

 

The Chloe/Jax/Ned/Alexis quad was so likeable.

 

Remember "V"? She never got her due either.

I think LV's biggest curse is she looked so much like Vanessa Marcil.  I know KeMo is considered the ultimate Brendabot, but Hannah should have worn a stamp of her face saying "Brenda's replacement" lol.  I know that was literally why Hannah was brought in from the FBI but it was a lot.  I thought LV was pretty decent with AJ and Taggert, but at that point she really was such a flop and Sonny/Carly had taken off.  She left town after finding out Roy was her father to go to Alaska lol.  The show did try with her.

Chloe was just less in your face as a Brenda replacement and I think I wanted Jax to find love moreso than Sonny so I liked her.  I am not saying she lit the show on fire with her presence, but I liked her.

I loved V.   I never got why the show completely dropped the Jax/V romance.

I never thought Chloe was a Katherine replacement lol

Me either. Chloe was very different from Katherine. 

 

I loved V too. The actress was good. They did completely drop it, and her.

 

The show tried with Hannah but because they weren't fully invested in writing for AJ or Taggert as anything other than foils for Sonny they had no place for her. Shame. But yeah, she was also SUCH a blatant Brenda replacement. Looking back she was more or less doomed to fail.

It was such a mistake to hire LV because she literally looked like Lily/Brenda had a baby and she was the result.   Everything was similar from the hair to the body type.  Sonny's an idiot for not figuring out she was an FBI agent from the jump.  The show would have been much better served if they hired someone that didn't look like a replacementBrenda like Chloe. 

I really thought V and Jax were going to become a thing, but perhaps that all got dropped because VM decided to stay last minute and Brax was back on.   I like the actress, but again, I think she looked a lot like the actress that played Miranda and that threw me off.  

I don't see any similarities between Chloe/Katherine except they are both blonde and interacted with Ned lol

Lol!  She's was pretty and I think she looked a lot like Miranda so it would vaguely fit Jax's type.

She was, but she wasn't pretty in the conventional soap way, especially by that point. I don't think it helped that she was introduced during one of the interim writer periods, and between the periods Jax was with Brenda. The character seemed to just get lost in the shuffle, and I thought a lot of the writing for her was kind of irritating.

I am trying to remember her intro and it was all about that weird story where people thought Jax was a drug dealer and the awful tin man saga.  I remember she liked to draw lol.  Honestly, she was just a casualty to Vanessa re-signing last minute.  Sonny and Brenda leaving together was a done deal and VM screwed it up so they just went back to Jax/Brenda and that breakdown nonsense.  How I wish VM decided to leave in 97.  I like 98 Brax, but overall not worth it.

They at least gave V a happy ending, so I guess it's fine.  She was a good C character.  I don't think she would have held up that well as Jax's love interest though.  But Jax doesn't seem to have a particular type (except women that loved Sonny first lol), so I don't think it was a stretch for him to be attracted to her.  He's not Sonny zoning in on any petite brunette he can find lol.  V was fairly solidly involved in the Sonny/Jax/Brenda/tinman stuff and I remember her being good with Ned for some reason.  Although by the time she officially left the show I think I forgot she was technically still on it.   She was sort of wasted, but at least they completed her arc if you will.

Oh Angel.   That was a rough storyline.  I don't think she even deserves the credit for being a Brendabot.  She wasn't even Hannah level.  She was much lower.  I find Angel Boris to be a highly unlikable actress and it was just a miss on every level.

As far as Hannah, I don't think LV was given much of a chance after the Sonny/Hannah pairing tanked.  I think they tried a lot with her in the beginning, but MB was pretty vocal of his dislike of the pairing and I think GH just cut their losses instead of seeing where she could possibly go.

At least LV got a husband out of the deal lol!

I know some people wanted Jax and V together, but I liked them as platonic friends. They did make very good friends, and had chemistry with. Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't V meet the guy she left the show with through Chloe?

It's never a good idea to promote a new soap coupling through print ads. Sonny/Hannah, Jax/Chloe and Jax/Sam. All of those pairings ultimately tanked.

    • @BroderickThank you for the reply. Such acting that they Sharon Gabet and the actor playing Draper still played their relationship after it's over. I picked up on it even though I had no idea about their history. That's such good acting/continuity.  Raven has just moved to London and a custody battle is now brewing for Jamey.
    • Ha-ha-ha, I thought it was Marland who turned Mike into a jerk, but apparently not. I get that they probably felt the Mike/Leslie story had run its course, but they should have at least let them have a kid. Especially since they were soon ensnaring him in a storyline with a woman who couldn't have children (Elizabeth). Of course, no one could have predicted there would be a dearth of Bauers a few years later. I remember this! I remember Holly sitting by the phone, desperate for Ed to call so they could stop the divorce. I forgot it was Rita who never gave him the message. What a bitch.

       But, yeah, this is the Rita I remember at the beginning: very determined to bag Ed. I contend that Holly never, ever got over it, never stopped regretting that the divorce went through. I wish at some point over the years they had let Holly and Ed reunite for more than a brief affair. It feels like a thread that was left hanging. There she is! I was beginning to think I had dreamed up the Rita/Tim/Evie triangle.
    • In the interview posted on knotslanding.net, William Devane described the Greg/Paige storyline as "juvenile".  From that interview I also got the impression that William Devane was on his way out near the end so he wouldn't have returned if there was a season 15.
    • Just started this show. I’m on episode 3. I’m starting to make the connections and understand the family tree better. Still will take time to fully understand everything but it’s exciting. So glad we have a new soap opera in 2025! Excited to join the discussion once I’m caught up.
    • Haley and Jacob had more chemistry in their small interaction than I ever saw between Naomi and Jacob. Same with Haley and Derek actually - that was one of the few times I can recall Derek ever having any life in him. 
    • -- Anita going through Ted and Nicole's wedding album. Really??? -- Dani defending Ted in her conversation with Nicole. Really??? -- Bill wants a child with Hayley. Really??? -- Many people are saying "Dana can't be Eva's mother" because of the way Dana treats her. Maybe she's not her mother, but that biological connection has nothing to do with it. Dana has functioned as Eva's mother all of her life. There's no reason to believe giving birth to her makes the difference. -- Hayley is hilarious for being so clueless and tone deaf when she comments on others' mistakes and flaws. God, she's dumb. -- Alex Alegria continues to suck as Tomas. Soooooo wooden. -- Ambyr Michelle stole the episode.  
    • I was fine with Greg and Paige as a couple (ick factors and all, lol).  What I didn't like was how juvenile their push-and-pull was, with Greg alienating her repeatedly and arbitrarily, and Paige leaving him and/or The Sumner Group in a huff, only to come back together, like, thirty minutes later, lol. I get that Greg was not someone who enjoyed sharing his feelings with others, but c'mon.  He was a little too old for all that on-again/off-again [!@#$%^&*]; and so was Paige, and so were we. Mary Robeson wasn't her aunt, though.  Thanks to WBTV's Primetime Soaps app, I was able to rewatch all of S14, and I learned, in fact, Mary was her aunt - which I guess made Joe her uncle? Truly, I thank the streaming gods for being able to rewatch the final season, because, for the past 30+ years, I never was able to understand how Mary and Joe, Nick and Vanessa, Val's disappearance and Treadwell (and Abby) all fit together; and even now, it still seems a trifle sketchy to me.  (The shortened season and reduced budget wreaked some havoc on the storytelling, did it not, lol?)  But I do appreciate the attempt, because it's probably the first time since Val's pregnancy that the show even attempted to tie the cast together under the same story umbrella. And even if she was trepidatious (sp?) about raising Meg alone, she wasn't the type to express those feelings outwardly.  Laura wasn't going to fidget and cry like Val, or shout wild-eyedly at others like Karen.
    • Oh Lord! They don't dare put her near Jacob. 
    • And knowing Hayley she’d somehow feel like she was the victim
