Members carolineg Posted October 16, 2023 Members Share Posted October 16, 2023 Re: AJ and the money-Damian had evidence that Alan killed Ray Conway and was holding it over Alan's head. AJ decides to hire a professional to steal the evidence from Damian and takes the money from the hotel account to pay the guy. Alan and Monica find out and give the money to AJ to bail him out, but don't tell Ned/Edward why AJ took it in the first place. It was more evidence that AJ was a screw up for them, but AJ was actually trying to do something helpful. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted October 16, 2023 Members Share Posted October 16, 2023 Yep, I eventually figured it out as I continued watching (now up to late July 1994). Currently, Ned has done the bigamy, Lois has moved into the gatehouse, and Katherine into the Q mansion. Katherine has already warned Lois to stay away from her man, with Lois not knowing WTF she was on about. I’m assuming we’re not far off from Katherine’s infamous birthday now… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 17, 2023 Members Share Posted October 17, 2023 It's a bit ridiculous NO ONE in town figures out Ned is Eddie, but whatever. Even Brenda easily stumbled upon the info and she's no detective so it's funny no one else sees the obvious info in front of them lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted October 17, 2023 Members Share Posted October 17, 2023 (edited) Now up to October 1994 - the infamous birthday has come and gone, L&B have made up, but Ned is still trying to win her back. Katherine has tumbled down the stairs and is in a coma. and OMFG how f***in dysfunctional are the Qs?!

Members carolineg Posted October 18, 2023 Members Share Posted October 18, 2023 Have they made it to Puerto Rico yet? Even with Ned/Lois being the B or C story there, I find a lot of their story very charming during that time. I loved the story, but Katherine/Ned never seem anything but very random as a couple. Neither here nor there but when watching the PR trip back it's hilarious how heavy-handed GH is about being on location. It's beautifully shot, but the show does not want you to forget they spent a ton of money on a location shoot. There are actual scenes of Maurice just walking in grass back and forth from the hotel that are like 2 min long. I think we are supposed to know Sonny is thinking about how dumb and nosy his girlfriend is, but it's a long time to watch one actor walk. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted October 18, 2023 Members Share Posted October 18, 2023 Yep, up to January 1995 - Puerto Rico looked amazing. On a tangential note, one of the big features of this Ned/Lois playlist is all the bloody clips of Ricky Martin and his Miguel performances (we see a bit of the Miguel and Lily relationship as well). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted October 18, 2023 Members Share Posted October 18, 2023 I mean, I wish Lily/Miguel were more exciting and that Juan just didn't follow the nature vs. nurture as far as charisma either, but I thought Miguel's actual performance was decent. I wouldn't have predicted Ricky Martin as a Global Superstar, but here we are. I objectively don't think Miguel/Lily are that bad they were just overshadowed by supercouple awesomeness. They clutter up the overall PR vibe, but Lily specifically starts moving the story. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Franko Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 Rewatching the lead-up to Luke & Jennifer's non-wedding in 1980, I was struck by how affected TG sounded when Luke's blackmailing Frank. I can't decide if he was parodying George Gaynes or trying to match him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 This scene is *amazing*, so much cringe! It’s the first time Lois’s parents met the Qs… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted October 19, 2023 Members Share Posted October 19, 2023 It’s scenes like these which make me yearn for the days of old. Just pure character interaction - no plot device, no contrivance, just watching people naturally interact with each other. And that last scene between Edward and Carmine… perfection! Some more observations from this whole storyline… I Please register in order to view this content Lila! She truly was such a rock for the Qs This was also the first time I had watched Jason as a Q, and I’m actually impressed. He had the moral compass of the family - it’s fascinating to think about what might have happened if Jason Morgan had regained his Q memory… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted October 20, 2023 Members Share Posted October 20, 2023 I love reading Michele Val Jean’s comments and memories from working on Labine’s writing team. She was incredibly collaborative and really knew how to fine tune things. The scenes are also loooonnnngggg during Labine’s run. They really help to build character and give everyone a piece of the pie. To this day no piece of media has broken me as much as Stone’s storyline. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Darn Posted October 25, 2023 Members Share Posted October 25, 2023 This is fantastic. "AJ! I don't think that boy has ever seen black people up too close!" "I mean come on, those people don't even have black servants in the house!" "That Reggie wore himself out trying to hide all the little lawn jockeys before we got there! I can see it now 'Oh, Master Quartermaine, how shall we hide all the little colored men on the lawn?'" 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gimmetoo Posted November 5, 2023 Members Share Posted November 5, 2023 Anyone read John Stamos' book yet ? Wondering what he says about his GH days. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted November 5, 2023 Members Share Posted November 5, 2023 I remember reading Michele Val Jean’s interview about writing those scenes. Not that there’s any one authentic Black experience, but this felt very true to how my own family members would talk. I’m impressed that ABC allowed those scenes to air. The Wards were special. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
