GH: Discussion for the Month of March


Recommended Posts

I have to agree with this! I've hated Starr since she hit puberty (possibly before that), and KA as an actress really bugs me. Let's just call her a performer and leave it at that...

I had hoped Bree would come (instead of KA) on for Johnny, but alas his Oedipus Complex needed to be re-visited!

Carly is a bitch, she's selfish, juvenile and believes she owns the men in her life, hence the animosity towards other woman, but somewhere in there, she had a heart and did the right thing and helped others do the right thing. I loved her even though she has me SMH at times, but I never questioned her love for the people she cared about. Currently, there is absolutely no rhyme or reason for her actions when you compare her to Wolf's Carly (and sometimes Guza). She had grown effortlessy. RC came in and took her back to the mob groupie gutter filth to avoid Carly having a black lover. Unfortunately, it looks as if the day to day script writers for these characters change, so it makes sense that the characters make no sense, but overall, RC's Carly is an absolute ridiculous fail! Does he realize that one of her children was shot in the head, murdered his stepmother, went to jail and was raped? Has he any idea that her middle child is away in military school because his father's life is too dangerous? What about the kid who has Jake's kidney? RC threw this all out the window, and it looks bad. Just terrible!

It's just a case of "Penis Envy", which has been going on for years! Cartooni promptly removed both black males from the GH canvas and increased Piph's airtime because black characters are pointless and can be interchanged and no one will notice. I'm in no hurry to watch this Jemima crap any longer!

I cant speak to Wolfe's Carly bc I wasnt watching for the bulk of his run but Guza's Carly under LW was dreadful and consistent with what we are seeing today. She had no heart. She was a hypocritical bully who acts like her sh-t dont stink. Carly does the right thing and tries to help others? Wow, I cant even with that. She had no growth. She was a mob apologist who never learned from her lessons despite seeing how she adn her kids were affected by Sonny and Jason. She constantly butts herself in business that doesnt concern her. Rememebr the summer she ignored her kids so she could cook up some scheme to get Brook Lynn to get revenge on Lulu and Dante for her. How about the "THAT WOMAN" phase which ran into last year when Brenda was here. How many times has she denounced Sonny and the mob (while still loving and accepting Jason's place in it) only to go right on back to supporting Sonny. She never stays away for too long. How many women has she torn apart for no reason except that she viewed them as a threat. She's always been a ridiculous fail of a character under LW.

This is Carly. Loud, shrill, barking orders.

And RC is the one that stopped Carly from getting a black lover? Carly and Shawn were not happening. It was a bunch of nothing and she was thrown to Johnny before RC ever came on the scene. Dont blame that one on him. Anyone could tell you Carly and Shawn was never gonna happen. Really its a surprise he's not dead yet considering the short life span black males tend to have on this show

I've always felt that Carly at least believed she had a good reason for treating the other women so poorly - protecting what she felt was hers. Garin Wolf had moved her away from this. He matured her. Non Carly fans began enjoying her. However, if you look at her now, RC has her moving around causing trouble in every story but her own. Her sole purpose is to move the other stories along. She's simply tattling and it looks ridiculous on a 40 year old.

Carly isnt treating any woman poorly at the moment. Her going to Jason about Robin isnt about tattling or hurting Sam. Sam is irrelevant to her. She honestly thinks Jason needed to know about Robin and she was flabberghasted that Sam had the gaul to prevent her from seeing him. Sam's been a trooper and tends to let Carly walk all over her while walking out the room to let her have any free time with Jason when Carly demands it. Things have changed with Sam growing a backbone and standing up to her, so Carly found a way to try and get around her bc she still considers herself #1 in Jason's life and always has and this was more of a powerplay to assert her position in his life that she assumes she still has

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
