GH: Discussion for the Month of January

Same smile.png - and Mac and Felicia too, I can't believe I left them out! Any day with Felicia is a good day

I do like Olivia a lot too and will be so happy when she's away Steve and I can enjoy her even more. The other characters I either like alright, am apathetic about, or just hate (I'm looking at you Starr and Kristina).

I like Mac and Felicia but I'm generally indifferent about them because they're never on. I actually really like Olivia too! I like Dante and Lulu the best out of the younger set. I really do like most of the other characters - even Kate, but only when she's being OTT Connie and only sometimes. It's just none of them really make or break the show for me. Is it weird that I'm not sure if I like Maxie and Spinelli? They make me feel conflicting things. But yeah, Starr and Kristina are awful. The Starr part makes me especially sad since I've been watching her for so long.

Oh and how could I forget? I LOVE Elizabeth. When she's not on or being backburned, I'm also really pissy, which is almost always.

I want Robert to come back and get with Olivia.

I used to like Maxie and Spinelli, but the whole thing is just so played out now that I just hate to see them coming.

I liked Starr a lot more on OLTL. I have no idea why she's so insufferable on GH, but she is.

I always forget about Elizabeth. I'm back to loving her again. I was hating her during the Nikolas days, but I like her again. Of course now she's never on.

I don't know anything about the actor, really, so can't comment too much--but the fact that after going on about not doing many shirtless scenes out of respect for his wife or religion or both or whatever, that a few months into Carlivanti's run he was tweeting to fans pics of himself shirtless (classy ones taken with his phone in the mirror) seemed a bit desperate that he was trying to get a reaction from fans. I wouldn't be too shocked if JFP offered him the chance to move and he jumped at it. And to be fair, while I can't imagine him being a terribly versatile actor and playing a vastly different role on Y&R -- 20+ years is a long time to play the same role, he could see this as his last chance to really try a different role. But still the way he's gone about it is pretty... meh.

GH has been a great ride in recent months -- powered mainly by AJ's return, the Qs, and Robert/Anna/Duke/Faison/Robin for me. Much as I have been enjoying the show, though, a couple of problems are looming:

-Is Robert definitely coming back? Because this Duke, Anna, Robert story writes itself and NEEDS to be told. If OTOH Luke is going to swoop back in as Anna's new twu wuv, then no thanks.

-How long is Finola Hughes' current contract with GH? I don't know if I could bear her not being on the show.

-Characters are too islanded in a certain set of SLs, and it would behoove Cartini to mix them up a little. Like, Olivia should get back into Sonny's orbit IMO (or back with Johnny -- I loved them together).

-Is Kimberly McCullough going to keep popping in and out of GH in between her directing school schedule? Because while it worked with this last SL, I don't know how long it can keep chugging along in the future.

-Patrick cannot --- I repeat CANNOT -- get stuck in a SL with two little girl newbies. He needs an honest-to-god romance, and with somebody unlike Robin. Perhaps a bad girl made good? Kind of like when Robert fell in love with Holly back in the day. I also think JT is great with older females, so if Robin Christopher were back on the show, I would suggest seeing what chemistry Skye & Patrick have together.

-Elizabeth needs something and someone to do.

-What is going to happen with the OLTL characters? Are they going to be up in limbo for months going forward as we wait to hear if Prospect Park can embezzle enough investors to get some 15-min budget burps of AMC or OLTL up on the web?

I actually think this pregnancy story sounds good on paper and would be a great story if only the the other guy wasnt Spinelli. He completely ruins it for me. Had it been Matt there inserted in his role, I think we'd have a much better plot

I mostly end up thinking Lulu is a huge dumbass, although that's not new. Choosing a flighty, silly woman, one with serious health problems and a long history of lying and deception - she would have been better off choosing a random woman on the street. This seems like one of those stories that is just about stalling and stalling until a few overhyped reveal episodes, like that garbage on OLTL with Jessica and Natalie and their pregnancies.

All great comments and questions. I definitely think Luke will come back and try to "love" Anna. Robert needs to be the one in this storyline but I guess they have to have Tony Geary do something. Actually I'm fine with this as long as Holly comes back and is in love with Robert - not Luke. And Ethan (rumored to return) needs to end up being Robert's son as well. I'm getting bored with GH now but I assume they're saving their more exciting stories for February sweeps and the anniversary. I guess I can understand that. Patience.

    • 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.
