GH: Discussion for the Month of March


Recommended Posts

Sonny and Jason aren't written as bad people (as with this latest story, which insisted early on that we learn Sonny was innocent in this), so I wonder how John will react to them. I guess he will purse his lips at Jason, since they will both want Sam, but I don't know if he will be the same with them as he was with villains on OLTL. That would make him too much like Taggart, who was mostly just there to remind us that Guza thinks cops are hypocrites.

She was pretty much chemistry bait on PC. She had chemistry with every male she was ever paired with other then Nolan. I also think she was hot with GV's Lucky a pairing that was quickly dismantled for those who are not to be named. The only people she hasn't worked with were the mob boys who suck the life out of everyone they are ever paired with.

Damn right.

The last time I remember that he semi-tried was when Vanessa came back around 2010. I miss Brenda so much.

That being said, I would give anything for the scene where Maurice just stops dead in the middle of the scene and looks for his teleprompter. That sounds hilarious. I remember someone posting about that in one of these threads a few weeks ago.

You know, I truly didn't mind the OLTL characters coming over to GH because I thought It might stir things up a bit. Get rid of the newbies and give their time to the OLTL actors. However, now that the OLTL characters are getting more airtime (and contracts) than the GH vets (Robert, Anna and Holly), I resent it enormously.

How would OLTLers like it if a bunch of GH characters came over to their show during their last months on the air and characters like Viki, Clint and Dorian were reduced to an awful storyline with hardly any airtime? They would hate it. And I hate it that the OLTL characters are taking over my show.

I have no faith in Frank and Ron now. I used to be a fan of OLTL but I can see they care nothing for GH and this is just about bringing their favorite OLTL characters over here to have a second life. It's not fair. I hope the ratings tank and they're out of a job soon.

Considering how much time was devoted to awful characters and meaningless plots (porn director Rick turned music producer, Ford/Jess romance, the stupid Dorian/David nonsense with Echo, the neverending saga of Rex/Gigi, halfassed Destiny pregnancy) that might not have been a bad idea

I don't think they have overtaken huge portions of the show, I think they are fairly well-integrated. The problem may be that they are mostly integrated with characters who are tired and overexposed (Michael, Sonny, Carly). I would have kept Robin around longer and had Starr interact with her. I hear people talk about the brilliance of contrasing Starr's loss and the loss Robin's loved ones feel, but the stories are so segregated, and it doesn't feel like we've seen that many reactions to Robin anyway.

        If the standard of play in the women's final yesterday wasn't of the highest caliber, that is not something you could say about today's final. It was absolutely fantastic tennis. 
    • When Barbara's letter was read (partly in Barbara's voice), there was commenting upthread that Barbara's voice is similar to the voice of Naomi's unhoused client June.  It did sound like her.  June is played by Jasmine Burke.  Per closing credits, Barbara was voiced by Sherita Bolden.  Still possible that they are connected. From our discussion on the May thread:  Looks and/or voices similar between June, Haley, and Tracy.   Tracy looks like Debbi Morgan. LOL so June might be connected to Haley, Tracy, or Barbara; and/or Samantha&Tyrell. I love that we don't know!
    • In the 1987 episodes, Mary has wonderful conversations with MJ and Cheryl. This is a realistic family with believable dynamics. Mary's ambivalence towards Vince is played nicely. Denise Alexander is so good here. I don't know what happened that the writers or producers just decided to chuck it all away. I don't FF these scenes. The show had a strong family that could have had years of storyline and they did nothing with them. I really don't get it. 
    • I can't speak for Sonni, but I thought Annie came off as neurotic from very early on. That's just how Cynthia Watros plays her parts, and the writing went along. I don't think Claire was mentally ill - they claimed she had a brain tumor, didn't they? I am never sure just why they made the effort given that she was leaving anyway. 
    • @DeeVee Claire is a perfect example. So many women came to Springfield as competent, smart, and talented professionals. Then they’d attract a so-called “good guy,” get dumped, and spiral into complete chaos. What always strikes me is how clearly it plays like a male fantasy—yet it was written and sold to a female audience.  I'm not a content expert, but I don't think cis gendered women fantasize about losing control of their mental faculties in response to an orgasm. Similar to Holly's story, it seems repulsive, because I don't believe women fantasize about becoming more vulnerable and appealing to men after they've been assaulted.
    • I just watched some parts of an episode of GL where Roger has just been shot by Holly. Rita then admits to Hillary that Roger raped her. Kasdorf is such a fantastic actress. I wish there were more of her work available. 
    • -- Alex Alegria has almost a full sleeve tattoo on one arm and a large tatt on one pec. I see no indication that the show is covering up his ink,
    • Didn't Carrie2 even seduce a minor? Ick. Oh, yeah, and she even tried to seduce Alan, but this was his post-prison era when he was trying to prove to everyone he had changed. It's funny that of all people he didn't go for it. Wait. Josh had an affair with Vanessa? Or she just thought he did? I know people always say "it's just a soap" but the way mental illness is portrayed on soaps (and that goes for pretty much all of them) has always been not great, especially PPD. They practically turned Claire into The Joker. She also was trying to seduce men. (I notice that now Mary Ryan Munisteri is listed as co HW with Ryder in the 1986 episodes, Claire has calmed down a lot. Never thought her GL career was very good but seems like she tried to course correct that a bit).
    • sss Ms. Tunie is a goddess. I feel all the anger, pride, sadness, arrogance, dignity, fear, love, and other emotions in everything she does as Anita.
