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.

    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
    • That would have made sense. Did all these characters get dropped when DePriest left or had they already been dropped?
    • The other issue with Missy: in June 2020, she "liked" some social media posts by Candace Owens -- things Candace said that were against Black Lives Matter.  That is described here https://tvline.com/news/melissa-reeves-racism-days-of-our-lives-instagram-controversy-2894568/ I don't know if that was ever resolved.
    • She appeared onscreen not long after Rose Livingston and Sara Montaigne, and we found out that Sara was Rose's estranged daughter. I wonder whether Peggy might have been part of that family group -- or else they were just juggling a few different potential mysteries so that they could develop whatever seemed to be getting the best response from the audience. They didn't do anything much with Rose and Sara really either. Maybe Rose would have become more prominent if Rachel and Mac had split up over Mitch, or if Sara had really flourished. In some ways I can picture Cheryl being affected by MJ's prostitution similarly to how Josie was distressed by finding out about Sharlene. But I can also see that Josie as a Frame being involved with Matthew would have different stakes for Rachel and Sharlene than Cheryl being involved with Scott. I do think the solution for Cheryl would have had to be a badder boy than Scott -- either a real bad boy who would do her wrong, or the kind of bad boy (not Chad!!!) who is essentially misunderstood and other people just don't understand. Cheryl would also have been better off with some friends her own age. Matthew and Josie benefited a bit from having other teenagers to interact with.
    • Sally Spencer was a decent actress, but the writing destroyed the "M.J." that Kathleen Layman had built. Layman had a quiet strength about her, and she and Osburn really felt like sisters. Spencer's character should have been either an unmentioned sister, or maybe Jake's that grew up close to Kathleen, M.J. and the rest, but was away for a few years before joining the force. Kristen Marie was o.k., but I always got a mousier vibe from her. Being pigeon-holed with Scott for most of the run hurt things for her, as well.  The Loves were also underserved between Rhonda Lewin and Philece Sampler. Philece would have been better as Nicole. Thank goodness Anne Heche  showed up for the next round of auditions. Christopher Holder was mediocre as Peter, but given a shot, I think Marcus Smythe could have stuck around for a while.  I would have had Peggy Lazarus be a Frame -- possibly an ex-wife for Vince with an agenda. Smythe and Hollen had  a fun chemistry that could have kept the two around.. Bringing recasts for  Cheryl and Ben back mixing it up with other Frames. Corys, Lawrences at the time might have kept all the families stronger. 
    • shoot...he said in that Locher room with Krista. I think he met her before that---she was doing Broadway and they had mutual friends or an agent maybe?
