GH: Classic Thread

I have no idea how behind the scenes antics go, but the optics to me have always been GF is expendable to TPTB.   I don't think she's going to be written out at this point, but I never thought the show has valued her as much as it should.  

But this show has been off the rails for years.  I am like a charter member of the Sonny Corinthos fan club (it's lessened over time, but the feeling is still there).  He should not be a lead.  The show is about a hospital not mobsters.  I have no idea how we got to this place lol.

TPTB have seemed to honor and cherish certain male actors over their female counterparts for a long time now. I seriously doubt they ever would have dropped John Beradino from his contract, yhet they had no qualms about releasing Emily McLaughlin and Rachel Ames.

The show bent over backwards to pamper and appease Tony Geary, but never showed Genie Francis the same respect.

And as for your comment that Sonny should not be a lead...YES! A thousand times, THIS. I just fell in love with you, LOL. The show should indeed be about the personnel of the hospital. How it got to center around a greasy, Teflon mobster who never pays for his heinous sins, I will never know.

Sonny/Brenda/Jax?  Awesome.  Great story.   Sonny can lead his own B stories, but if I was in charge Sonny would have been gone in 1997.   It was the perfect end to his story.  The mob robbed him of the life he wanted the most.  It was fitting.  But here we are.

The Sonny Saga could have tolerable if it had remained a B story, and ended at its appropriate time, 25 years ago. But the show has just harped on my and retread over the same ground ad nauseum. Enough already, geez!

It's like The Reva Saga on TGL: neverending and increasingly ridiculous and annoying. Reva the Ghost. Reva the Amish Amnesiac. Reva the San Cristobelian Queen. Reva the Clone. Reva the Time Traveller. EGADS, make it stop!

THIS.

Though I will always have a place in my heart for Kevin/Lucy. And I definitely loved around Christmas when Lucy was definitely pressed when Laura returned because it seemed more about the fact Lucy have Kevin to herself

than Laura interrupting the Christmas event. 

 

Same.

Even as Brenda's #1 Fan the story got tiresome.  It's one thing to be young and be confused about Sonny/Jax-it's another to purposely play them off eachother at 40.  And at some point Brenda was doing that full well knowing they would fight over her. 

Anyhow, Sonny never really evolved.  It's always been the same seduction routine.  I understand there is some trouble living up to iconic storylines/pairings that happened right off the bat, but ugh.  I get why Brenda/Carly love him, but he is a great B character not an A character.

As funny as the riffs are, I'm also a little obsessed with when Jessie and Cynthia are alone together. Jessie knows exactly what's going to happen and has clearly resigned herself to it, while Cynthia seems to be trying her damndest to not let it happen.

Phil: "I won't be long."

"Jessie": "No kidding. You don't have to tell me."

 

Indeed.

When I read on-line reports that Frank has called Mo "the star of the show," it turns my stomach, truly. If anyone on the canvas today deserves that honor, it should be Genie.

True, as things stand right now, at this momednt, Genie Francis and Laura are in a solid place. I know this is a soap and everything can change on a dime without much warning, but...fingers crossed.

    • Thanks for posting this, fascinating read. It's clear how ambivalent Wyndham is about Justine. IMO, it reads like she agrees that the end of the storyline was bad, but reading between the lines I think she thought she was doing good work for the meat of it....which was not the case. As bad as the writing for most of that story was, it was truly made worse by her embarrassing performance. After the story concluded she kept falling back into Justine ticks, when she wasn't phoning he scenes in. Not to play Freud, but was it to tr*ll her critics?  
    • I better hear "The Emmy goes to Ambyr Michelle" come Emmy time lol    
    • yep.

    • I love this more than any theory I've seen yet
    • I wonder what Dana and Hayley's first scene will be like. Dana has fear/contempt for Bill, but I can imagine Hayley being curious to meet her.
    • Daphne was just FANTASTIC today. I know people wanted histronics and it may still come but she was pitch perfect today. As much as I like Maurice she's gonna need someone just as strong now and it's just not him   
    • Today's episode was one of my favorites so far! TT's Anita standing up to Dana was perfect. I was surprised with how restrained Dani was, in some scenes, I forgot she was there. The ending "Amazing Grace" montage was brilliant. I like how Vernon's reason complements Anita's emotion. DD was terrific portraying her mixed sense of betrayal and humiliation. I liked her comment about how she condescended to Dani after her breakup with Bill, unaware that she was also married to a cheater. I am going to miss MJ as Ted and I don't agree with the criticisms of his acting. His conduct on social media is a different story. I agree that BC's Martin has come into his own. He and MM have also discovered some chemistry which allows them portray a believable couple. Eva is the most empathetic character for me. Seeing get locked out of the apartment was heartbreaking. I also liked that the writing for Kat has been much more nuanced than one might have expected just weeks ago. I liked the expression on Kat's face at the end when she was embracing Nicole. Kat has probably never seen her calm, poised mother so upset. CM's face portrayed a sense of discomfort now that the carer/child roles have been somewhat reversed. I believe now more than ever that Kat is Ted and Dana's child. Eva is Ted and Nicole's child. Dana switched them as insurance - if Bill came after her to take or harm Eva, Dana would reveal that Eva was actually a Dupree, giving her some protection. She would also be secure in the fact that her birth daughter Kat was ensconced in the privilege and security of the Dupree family. The way Dana raised Eva - "weaponizing" her instead of nurturing her as a loving mother - also aligns with this theory. 
    • @Paul Raven - thanks for reviewing the content for accuracy.  You know, the nice thing about AI is that you can teach it things, so I am having it review the classic AMC Tumblr to increase its accuracy.
