GH: Discussion for the Month of April


Recommended Posts

I think she's a far better producer than FV but her handling of pets and firings and show direction is not her strength. I do think over the years she's done a good job with younger or greener actors. I know GH used to have acting coaches on staff under her. I just don't think today's soap environment is conducive any longer to helping actors develop or do better. As for Lexi, shes young so I doubt anyone is going to pay much attention to a teenager.

For the record, I don't think she's as nearly as terrible an actress as some say she is and will even go as far as to say that she is a victim of the OLTL-hate bandwagon that everyone and their mother is on. (Then again, as I've stated before, I don't watch soaps for the sterling acting talent.)

Like you, I watched Starr grow up as the child of one of my favorite soap supercouples, so I, too, have a soft spot for her. Would I be as invested in her if she wasn't the child of T&B? Nope, but I wouldn't find her nearly as loathsome as some do.

That said, I'd much rather watch her college-aged character than the abuse-accusing brat that preceded her on this show.

Agreed. I'm still hoping that he can bring on the musical guests in the same way as he did with OLTL.

Im most definetly NOT on the OLTL hate bandwagon and think her acting on this show is atrocious (not tha it was much better on OLTL). The scene the other day when she was supposed to be "crying" while expressing her pain and anger to Michael at his place was cringeworthy especially as no tears were coming out of her eyes. She's really not that good

Actually, if you read interviews it was JE and TG who trained Berman and NLG who trained Ainsworth. For the first few years of Berman's Lulu, she never worked with anyone but the greats. Directors bring talent out of actors. Producers don't have that role.

Argh, my eyes, my eyes! Totally cringe worthy. That girl has absolutely NO talent. She cannot act, sing, dance, or be sexy. On top of which, she is weird looking. She is lucky that ABCD has no judgement or she would be unemployed.

    • Agreed. The Emmys next year are gonna be a pretty tough competition and I hope we get a Days sweep lol  Not only does Deidre deserve a nomination for these last few weeks, but I also think Paul Telfer, Raven Bowens, Carson Boatman, Dan Feuerriegel and Alison Sweeney have good chances as well.
    • It’s not about a lack of faith and trust in MVJ, it’s about a a lack of faith and trust in Ron Carlivati, who I think can be very sneaky and manipulative when he wants to be.  And, all that “He’s just a breakdown writer” talk never changed my mind about anything, because at Days, it was “just a breakdown writer” that gave us some of the worst episodes I’ve ever seen.

    • 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.)
    • 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?
