GH: January Discussion Thread

What's wrong with this picture?

GH011712.png

Has JFP already left the building by this point?

Why are you being so hostile and generalizing?

Because that's how I'm genuinely feeling about the situation, therefore I'm expressing it. If you want something sugarcoated, suck a lollipop.

That's his charm.

Shhhhh... Don't speak for me. Thanks! :)

Oh my God! laugh.png

It seemed almost intentional, too. They were in no hurry to cut away or tighten it up. It was like someone deliberately set that shot up like that. Weird.

That is so embarrassing. I'm gonna have to watch the episode just so I can catch that.

Yeah, deep down Carly really does want to pork Johnny biggrin.png

If new kid TJ is just some bratty kid with a chip on his shoulder who acts like Bambi, then no thanks. I wanted Shawn to slap him LOL I'll be looking forward to seeing more of him, maybe he'll have scenes with Molly? I bet he'll be dropped like Dr. Terell, Lainey, Toussaint, etc though anyway...but Shawn is pretty nicely featured so maybe not.

I have to say Dante and Lulu have been pretty pleasant to watch lately, I'm always back & forth with them. Lulu is a dogwalker? rolleyes.giflaugh.png That's her passion? I don't think so. LOL at her getting allergic to the dog. One thing I find annoying - why is she always going to the PCPD to visit Dante? That does not seem normal to me at all, she really needs to get her own steady job...

I hope Johnny didn't shoot Sonny. The most obvious choice would be Jax. But damn, could it have been Michael as well?

Do yourself a favor and skip it til they come. If you continue to watch you may reach the point where you refuse to watch even when the OLTL people come.

Seriously. I'm wading back into the waters now, but only because I have a very high tolerance for bad/boring. I would have given any new writer a chance though. OLTL has nothing to do with it. I want to watch GH's last year, I simply couldn't do it under GW. After years of Guza, GW beat me into submission within months of taking over. I won't apologize for giving up on an unwatchable show or for coming back when I have some hope things will get better.

Also, from what KDP said, this is not any kind of merger. She's only going to be on a few episodes. Sounds like it's the same for RH, so I think the "OMG! OLTL is taking over GH" panic that hit Twitter completely overblown. Shocking.

Because she's not getting mad and dumping him for not telling her about his plans to wear his boot cut jeans instead of regular fit to work this morning.

Of all the characters to get a supporting character, Shawn, the deadest of dead wood, is the one who gets help? The actor just stands there like a dead tree. I have no idea how that actor got hired, he is the most unexpressive introverted actor ever. He recites his lines with as much exciteent and energy as the way I order chinese food for delivery.

I almost think it's a conspiracy. It's like the casting department couldn't possibly find a charismatic black actor for some reason, and yet they do exist, so how was this man hired? It defies all logic. It's like they are setting the black character up to fail. I'm white as snow, but it's really hard not to see it that way.

Does anyone have a concrete date on when Todd & Blair arrive on GH? They and Starr are the only things interesting about GH and I'd like to know when they're coming and how long they're staying so that I can get closure with those folks and move on once they leave the show.

Thank you in advance.

Then how do you explain THIS?

GH's casting department hasn't been on its game this past year all around. Conspiracy: DEBUNKED!

Seriously, though, being black myself, I don't see it as a conspiracy to set the character up to fail. I see it as Blakemore fit the "type" that they were originally going for with the Shawn character -- the black version of Jason. The psychologically damaged, emotionless enforcer for a dastardly crime lord. Somewhere along the way, they decided to keep Blakemore and tried to revamp the Shawn character into a more compassionate and softer character. I don't think they would do that if their intent was to set it up to fail. Epiphany? Yes. Terrell? Yes. The driver of the Magic School Bus? HELL YES!

^ I wasn't being entirely serious. I don't actually believe that shows hire people and want them to fail, but damn. Your idea that he wasn't actually meant to be a long term character at first, makes sense to me. Once they decided to keep him and put him with Carly things went bad.

The Jasam story sounds disgusting. A woman who had her baby die in the womb and then lost the ability to conceive for eight years is raped and is now carrying her rapists child. To add further insult to injury she was in fact raped on her honeymoon. Seriously who is writing this?

Their fans don't care about that as long as their couple stays together all is well.
