GH 50: Discussion for the Month of April - May 3, 2013

I liked Nikolas feeling like it was his fault about his dad on Friday, telling Liz and Alexis he should have called someone sooner about his dad. That goes a way toward acknowledging the somewhat contrived nature of his not alerting people about Stavros that people were criticizing. I also liked Mac/Maxie's scene. I agree with whoever said Mac works well in scenes where he is in a "father" role. I'm glad Mac mentioned that Anna made a point of mentioning Frisco, which shows I wasn't imagining things when I felt like Anna was kind of unintentionally throwing Frisco in Mac and Felicia's faces on Thursday.

I still don't like Dante. Everyone was eulogizing him (the child who survived in the wilderness! a good officer according to Anna!) and he wasn't even dead. So far all I've seen from him in 3+ weeks is police brutality (with Nik's shooter), lots of violence, and a high-and-mighty, self-righteous streak -- someone who is quick to rush to judgment like when he was threatening Scotty.

Liked AJ/Monica, and liked that AJ didn't want to believe that Liz still had feelings for Nikolas until he saw them. I'm glad AJ still has some optimism and idealism about him after all that he has been through.

I felt former WSB agent Anna saying she had "just been briefed about the family history," like the Cassadines aren't a well-known, havoc-causing family in the GH universe, was kind of weird. I think Elizabeth Page was also the script writer on the info-dump day when Dante told Anna about Nikolas like Anna had never heard of Nikolas before.

I think Tony Geary and Genie Francis, particularly Francis, are both doing a good job playing Luke and Laura as they are now -- connected but not having those same feelings they once had, with too much having happened for them to get back together. I think Laura is still going to choose Scotty when all is said and done. Agree that Laura's strength came through on Friday.

Overall Friday was a little too OTT for me but I still liked it.

I'm pretty sure Scotty is dunzo (with Laura, that is) when they get back home. They appear to be at least taking a slow boat back to a real reunion for Luke and Laura, which I think is essential. I'm not sure I'll agree with how they get there - I'd add a real male romantic spoiler, someone dashing from the WSB - but I think taking their time now that they appear to have Genie locked in is important.

Laura doesnt have much romantic chemistry with either of her male partners. I dont see why she needs to be paired up. She could play a strong supporting role to Lulu and re-establish a life for herself in PC before focusing on any romantic interests

That's why I tend not to like straight male action hero "popular" characters ... Which are not the only type of character that is popular. I often complain about violence on soaps and in the media, and it is not limited to GH or to Dante.

LOL I know she was kidnapped ... I also don't think that gives a police officer an excuse to be not doing his job properly. He should be prosecuted and lose his job for what he did with Nik's shooter, but in the twisted world of soap morality, such violence is OK.

You know. Fjung is just giving his/her opinions based on admittedly limited knowledge. Doesn't mean it's not a reasonable or valid or worthy opinion. It's a first or second impression. GH needs new eyes and they will see things differently.

    • yes. today Monday's episode started with words displayed "part 1" and ended with "to be continued"
    • I find Missy Reeve's views offensive and I don't want to defend her, but I don't think she ever said anything publicly about Days "gay content".   In fact, I don't think she's ever said anything negative about Days at all.  There's no indication Missy is difficult or unprofessional on set-except for the whole affair thing years ago lol-but that's a whole different topic. I can dislike Missy as a person and still think she's the perfect fit for Jen.  Cady tried and it didn't work for me.  Whenever Missy steps into the role it works.  It's a two things can be true situation.  Missy has some bad opinions, but she's great at playing Jennifer.
    • Doesn't the funeral go into Tuesday 
    • Christian Streaty wrote her second freelance script today on Days. Surprised they gave the first funeral episode to a newbie.  
    • And the third thing, which I have no cite for, and I may look to see if one is findable, but supposedly she said that the show had too much gay content in it. And, to be fair, that could be someone making a criticism about balance & not be bigotry but when it's added to the other, that's why it bugs people. Edit to add: The reason this may be impossible to source, and therefore of no use, is because it was not a public statement. She is supposed to have said it at the show, about the show, to colleague/s, one of whom repeated it in public, but that is convoluted to try to track down, so feel free to ignore. I did do some looking & I am not optimistic.

      The greatest tv series season finale in history.   
    • Mick Savage was sooo unbearable. And more unbearable was the reaction from the female characters to him - they were acting like he is God's gift to women and sooo irresistible. To a point of unbelievable cringe. 
    • Today was a short one. Only 33 minutes.  The ‘Part One’ graphic at the beginning was pretty interesting though. I didn’t expect them to do something like that.  I like how everything was focused around John and his family and friends. Again, the acting and the dialogue was very well done and well written. And I love that they were able to incorporate Drake’s, “swing for the fences” phrase into the script. It was nice seeing everyone interact with each other, especially characters who don’t often share scenes together. It felt like every character was part of a big family or community. Plus, an outdoor funeral in June makes a lot more sense than an outdoor funeral in December.  But yeah, it’s very, very strange that Will isn’t at the funeral, especially since we know that

      I would much rather he had been there today. And, where’s Anna too? And Jack and Jennifer? What was the point of bringing them all back if they weren’t going to attend the funeral? I expected Steve to want to close down BlackPatch, though I’d rather he just retire and let Paul take it over. But I like that Kayla was there to comfort him. I wonder if he’s going to change his mind at some point.  It was nice seeing Shane again too. Now, he just needs to have more scenes with his son lol but I enjoyed seeing him comfort Marlena. I’m not really sure about his interaction with Cat though? Was it really necessary for this to happen now, at John’s funeral? They could’ve waited a little longer to introduce this story arc.  Btw, was Tate bleeding from his head in his first scene with Arianna? 
    • This is the coldest early June in my life. It's like it's January.
