GH: Discussion for the Month of January


Recommended Posts

I still think Trey (despite seeming too old--he's a year older than me I realized--) actually to my surprise showed a lot of attention. This seems a waste. At the least, if they wanted to make his death really hard on Conniue and sorta humanize her (...) as they seem to want to, t would have meant more if they hadn't rushed this story as they often do and we had seen some scenes of them starting to understand or like each other. Instead we got 1/8th of a scene like that and then bam

It does to me since I never once bought that Trey was truly in love with Krustina or trusted in her enough to share his inner feelings. I did, however, believe that there was a connection that could've developed into a love-hate attraction between him and Starr.

*sigh*

I should thank my lucky stars that he wasn't Eli'd by being made responsible for everything from 9/11 to Hurricane Sandy.

Which is why I never saw him as GH's answer to The Rapist Robert Ford. Both EV and Ron actually made me believe that Trey was a sympathetic character in a way that I never did with that blight on OLTL's final years.

I'd like to think that Ron learned his lesson on how to redeem a character from their shady beginnings, but I'm not completely sold on this being more than a fluke.

I didn't say that they had to ignore it altogether - just simply revisit it at a later date.

I'm right with you about Minnie Mouse Maxie and Jar Jar Binks still funking up the canvas even though I've been lucky enough to barely see her - so far. Jar Jar, on the other hand, is a wet fart that always manages to worm his way into scenes with characters that I tune in to see.

Oh I totally agree. I think it was just that when he was introduced it DID seem a lot like reality TV producer Ford 2.0--you can't blame people at that point for thinking as much (and maybe he was meant to be more Ford-like, wouldn't be too surprised), but I quite quickly grew into him and for whatever reason (better acting? better writing? the fact he didn't bed vulnerable women and students?) the fact that we find out he comes from a horrible father in both cases. But anyway I grew to quite like the character.

Wow, Maxie is a foul bitch. Was she really gonna let Dante and Lulu know that their baby is dead via email?

My god Ellie is dense. Spinelli cheated on you, nitwit

Oh wow, Anna and Duke arent dead. I feel as if these scenes should have happened 3 weeks ago

Britt has beautiful eyes

Kudos to Laura Wright. She did amazing work today. Carly and Todd have been a surprising bright spot

    • 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?
