GH: January 2015 Discussion Thread

[katie_9918]

Why aren't all the Jeromes dead yet? Seriously, that's really all I'm waiting for to actually start watching this cesspit of a show again.

This was a really good episode. Watching a show with Bobbie in a dramatic capacity and not merely someone to talk to really feels right, like the real GH. Hopefully if Julian clues Sonny in it means this story will come to a head in time for Feb. sweeps.

Chad Duell looks really good in the shirt and tie. It compliments his build nicely. Loved seeing Helena but I didn't quite understand Nikolas there: he allowed her to move in? Sam is foolish not going to the police with the information on Liesl immediately, for that matter so is Nikolas.

Jackie did a pretty good job today. Since the worst of her plastic surgeries she has often been overly mannered and cutesy, either trying to overcompensate or just struggling overall with her new features, but she mostly was very affecting in the scenes at the house, clearly overcome. It helped that her face looked a lot better.

[alexisfan07]

Agreed, she did a great job. The scenes were very well done.

Jackie did great yesterday. Really liked her in those scenes and reminded me so much of why I love her and Bobbie. Love having her share screen time with Michael too. Michael away from Kaka is SO much better.

Sam definitely has the brain in town. Didn't hate the Obrecht and Sam scenes.

I was kinda bored by Jake and Carly.

Loved Fluke calling Luke "Puke". Fluke is off his freaking rocker.

LOL at Helena calling Sam a bastard. I love Helena. Constance Towers is just great. I like that she's around more.

I actually sort of liked Sonny yesterday as those stupid goons were ganging up on Julian. Sonny should have just let them off Jerome, lol. I love it's just a shrug of the shoulder when inmates are killed. And how ALL the guards were conveniently gone for an hour (though it was probably a good 15 minutes in soap time).

The funniest part is that Sam was talking about her own husband.

GH still isnt the best but is it just me or is the show getting much better? Maybe because of less Franco, Sabrina, Dr. O, idk..

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I thought yesterday's show was good.

And, Monday's looks to be a continuation of that. According to the previews.

Fluke is going insane for sure now. He actually scared me a little when he had that bat yesterday.

GH fired Kristen Alderson.

You think her boyfriend's fibbing? Or that they gave her the Starr Jones option?

[Antoyne]

So I guess the old Metro Court set is completely retired?

Sweet lord in Heaven no more Kaka!!

[Vee]

I personally suspect it was a "mutual" thing. With Frank Valentini that can mean a lot of things. With people he doesn't care about anymore, they can sit down and have a discussion in which they "both agree" to end it - he's done that before, a number of times. I think he may have handled Kristen a lot more gently than that usual routine, but I also think in terms of his longstanding affection for her, watching her grow up, he's now doing the same thing with little Nicolas Bechtel.

[SweetPea36]

The speculation/rumors I've been reading is that orders came down from ABC, and that neither FV nor KA was given any option. ABC wanted this for some time, but FV/RC had been fighting it.

As always, grain (or boulder) of salt for speculation.

[cassadine1991]

Anything else??

[dragonflies]

I can believe it, I wondered if ABC would ever put their foot down about GH's bloated cast, this is probably a start for them.
