GH: April 2014 Discussion Thread

The problem is if a show has to force something to make them forbidden. To me they're just dull, whether they're "forbidden" or not. If we find out Sam and Silas are related they'd also be dull. It screams of having no idea what to do with characters. I think they expected Nathan to be far more popular than he is so they are working overtime to make him popular (having Spinelli on the Barbie pop in to make him seem good in comparison, the "shocking" incest, et al).

I really don't think these two will hit the sack, reRon just reels audience in to bask in the buzz of it all. I dozed off on Nate and Britt but miraculously stayed woke up to hear Silas' line which is funny as hell. They're called Sambien a writer had to get a hold of it.

I could care less who else Britt and her mean mommy are related to. This is absurd. I too think Nate has started to show inflection in voice, I know its baby steps, but it is something.

Carl I [!@#$%^&*] love you.

LOVED the shade Nikolas threw. I actually thought TyC showed up for work the last couple of days, sort of. However, I definitely would prefer them going with Liz and Ric, though it's clear Ron seems to want to push Liz and Nikolas for some goddamn reason.

And yes, I think they expected Nathan to be popular. Just like the Fords. It's the same thing. Why is Cementblock on EVERY DAY? Ugh. Any little chance of even liking him gets ruined because Ron shoves everyone down our throats. And then watch he'll go weeks without being seen. It's just awful pacing.

I think he will draw the line at actual incest (although he may have a did they/didn't they thing for a while).

Apparently some fans are calling them "Westcest," which gives me unfortunate "Wincest" memories.

On the bright side, that could lead to a crossover where Sam and Dean show up in Port Charles and gun down a lot of assholes.

And how many will tune in to see if incest takes place just so they can bitch about it/or cry foul for being tricked when it doesn't happen? I'm not curious in the least!

There is absolutely no reason for anyone to care about whether Britta or Brick have sex, but the possible incest angle might bring up the #s for Friday, a day that usually has the lowest #s.

    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining. 
    • I had forgotten that several Days stars came out strong against Melissa. Good for them!
