GH: Discussion for the Month of January


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Oh, An... you and I are buds through and through and you know how I feel about Carlivati's writing and Laura Wright's "acting" as well as the Carly character... and we love each other anyway lol! So you know, when I say what I'm about to say, what it takes for me to say this: I AGREE WITH YOU!

There are so many levels that played in the AJ/Carly scenes today that I am, truly, impressed with how they played out! This is something that would NEVER have happened under Guza. I'm not gonna stretch and think that there will be any followup regarding Carly, since we pretty much know that LW was told who Carly's love interest was going to be this year, but at least, in this moment, Carly was able to FINALLY feel remorse for the GARBAGE she's done. It got to a crazy point two years ago that GH was celebrating Carly for being a fantastic liar, schemer, deceiver instead of recognizing that this was a horrible trait for a grown MOTHER to have! It was refreshing to see her feel that her ways came back to her and see her fall apart. This is probably the second time that I've ever felt "care" for LW's Carly. The only other time was on New Year's Eve when everyone was hating her after finding out Jax was alive.

ETA: The haircutting bit was a little too Emmy Bait obvious. LW was fine without that. After that I realized "Oh, this is LW's 'Emmy Submission' episode!" which kinda turned me off.

I guess Carly has the golden coochie. How many times did this chick say she wished he had stayed dead? Up until a few seconds before he took her home she was blatantly tempting him AGAIN to end his sobriety because she wanted him to fail so she could get the satisfaction of calling him a loser. She despises him. I guess she needs to throw a bottle of booze all over him and set him up again for him to get the hint. Carly would leave skidmarks on her way to the meatplant to have him hung on yet another hook if it would benefit her. If he's that desperate to get laid take a cold shower and call it a night.

LMAO! There has to be a gif for this moment, but I don't know how.

I agree with your assessment, which is why I always appreciated Wolf's writing for Carly. He knew where this 40 year old mother of 3 needed to be, and it was FRon who took a huge dump to that. Needless to say, it was marvelous to see her possibly come full circle!

I didn't find them entertaining in the least! That chit is not for GH!

And then to stay there, cover her, remove the hair from her face and watch her sleep? What kind of cream puff is this? You know I love Carly more than so many things, but this is not the story I thought we'd be getting for AJ. So now, do we have to watch him salivate over her from a distance? Will the woman who gets him never have his full attention?

Now, I said from day one that this AJ story had "loser" written all over it, but this is not what I expected. Under no circumstance do I want AJ and Carly together. LW and SK have great chemistry, but it's not that wonderful to where you have to ignore that he'd be nothing more than her manbitch. He's clearly no match for her! Ugh!

As long as it's not TranNene Leakes, I'll take whatever gif is available! ;)

But to delve further into Carly's psyche, I'm hoping that what she's been doing and expressing these past few months have simply been because she's too scared to come to grips with what she did back in the 1990s. I'm hoping that her reactions have been more along the lines of "OMG! Here, I thought my less than favorable deeds have been buried along with AJ, but yet, they've returned and now I have to face them as an adult who's looking at my past!" kind of way. Because I think that would do WONDERS for the Carly character regardless of WHO is playing her.

    • Well, Claire did rig Rick's test results, but it was to flunk. They actually managed to get his correct results back after they were thrown into Cedar's furnace...I think? Everyone knew Claire changed them and Rick passed so that rewrite never made sense.   I agree. Pratt always seems "edgy" on screen (and her Locker Room interview prooved that it came from her personality.) I liked Claire causeing trouble and love Meta ringing her beads. Its just too bad that Abby left and they kinda just forgot Claire existed. 
    • Oh so they did sleep together. The retcon was just the medical boards? That makes sense. I think Susan Pratt, while a good actress, was just an unlikeable presence onscreen and soaps wrote to that most of the time. There was some potential for more with her when she returned in that stint, as Pratt was at least interesting to watch and caused some conflict for the stifled Bauers. Instead of pairing her with Alan and then disappearing I might have had her hook up with Danny. I think there was a lot of flirtation with Bolger's Philip, but they never crossed the line.
    • I haven't seen Melchior in the role, but it would be astounding if she's worse than Linn. Her rivalry with Stephanie was sidelined IMO because Linn was one of the few actors who didn't have chemistry with, nor raise her game, when paired with Susan Flannery. To be fair, she did show some signs of life in scenes opposite Darlene Connelly, but way too little too late. It feels like Bell finally woke up after the Thorne switchover and sidelined the Kristin character with Mick to 1 or 2 appearances a week. As a result, the show improved by leaps and bounds after she was inexplicably at the center of the show for most of 1989. Margo is so much more enjoyable when not tied to that albatross. Even Clarke is watchable with less Kristin interaction. She can't exit stage left soon enough. As for the new Thorne, I agree that Norcross feels like a Forrester a lot more than Thrachta, even if the latter is a better actor.
    • The cast said that scenes were filmed over a few weeks, with a preplanned hiatus in the middle, and it was all out of order.  I would *guess* that they used Chandler when they could get him? They also had to work around Leo Howard getting married around the time these episodes were filmed, but I guess they worked it out since Tate appeared.
    • Maybe there was a scheduling conflict or something. He still has the full time 9-5 in Atlanta, right? Julie was there. Idk if Maggie’s gonna be a part of it though 
    • At this point, the best nonpaywall coverage of Los Angeles (and anything political)  is in...the Tennessee Holler https://bsky.app/profile/thetnholler.bsky.social And as always, emptywheel continues to be consistent https://bsky.app/profile/emptywheel.bsky.social
    • Today Monday was the start of people arriving at the funeral, but the service hasn't started yet.  I know this is the nonspoiler thread but I think it's okay to say (in nonspecific terms) that the funeral episodes span a few days.  I won't detail it more here. Just sayin' keep watching.
    • Why am I only now hearing about what happened in L.A., lol?
    • While I agree that Reeves is Jennifer, I honestly do prefer Cady McClain in the role, as I feel she had/has a wider range of acting capabilities than I feel Reeves has. It's the strength of an actor, ultimately, for me, regardless of how I feel about Reeves' political/social views (which I widely disagree with). Plus, not to mention, they costumed Reeves like an old-fashioned frumpy farm/Moron wife, while McClain had some fashion-forward moments.
    • Wait - so no Will, Jack, or Jen at John's funeral? That’s just weird. What was the point of bringing them back then? Did Julie and Maggie even show up? I mean, seriously.
