GH: October Discussion


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I've been on a tragedy kick.  In the last couple of weeks I've rewatched Robin's death, Lucky's fire death, BJ/Maxie and quite a bit of Stone.  And I've watched the last three days.  So far, the only people I have been moved at all by were Sonny, Ava, a little bit of Carly,  and shockingly, Kiki.  Bobby was kind of flat, Michael was really flat, Carly wasn't all that great and Jason literally gave nothing.  Not like borg Jason nothing, literally nothing.  

While this may be the best on the show right now, it's a far cry from the best ever.

 

I haven't been invested in Kiki ever, and Sonny in years, but they were trying and they got my attention.

The mass grieving by the citizen's of PC for Morgan the bipolar douchebag feels phony & hallow. Lulu was crying buckets, but i can't remember her ever sharing any scenes with her brother in law. Another appearances by a neglected and often forgotten TJ. So far TJ this month has had 3 appearances. Of course TJ is recapping everything to his sour faced mom. Kiki & Dillon's low wattage chemistry doesn't make them a super couple. Not a fan of the basic & bland Kiki but Michael going off on her was stupid. In the middle of everyone grieving a spoiled nasty man/child Woodpile is united with his daughter:rolleyes: Peavey showed no emotions as Nathan met his daughter. Both Maxie & Lulu need to be rushed to a hospital for malnutrition. Everything about GH feels flat and generic. The deaths of Diana Taylor, Lesley Webber, BJ Jones and Stone Cates are better examples of how a small town community grieve's one of there own. Over the years GH has isolated there characters too much. So this mass grieve for Morgan isn't very effective.

This man had(was allowed) 3 cliffhangers a while back and showed zero emotion in that final scene. So to show no emotion in other scenes isn't a surprise. He is a horrible actor who got his job because FV has the hots for him.

 

Even his Hallmark movie was a bust since he showed no emotion. I remember reading posts on here on how bad he was in the movie.

I think u all are not giving Hayley Erin credit. In almost 2 years her acting is much improved. If u remember Hayley during the Silas stuff she was quite weak but now she really gave it her all. I hated Kristen Alderson in the role she was awful and i couldnt get past Starr but Hayley bravo girl u have improved.

Unlike many of the posters here, I have actually enjoyed the episodes the last few days.  I for one, was not sorry to see the character of Morgan go.  GH missed an opportunity with the character.  A previous poster here called the character of Morgan a "douche bag", and I think to a degree, the label was accurate.  The only character in daytime history where they portrayed a mentally ill character as strong when they were well was Vicki on OLTL.  I don't think the weak character that Morgan had become was a character that most viewers could root for, and that was the problem.  Despite the weakness of the character, the writers have done a fairly good job of portraying the death of a young man who never had the chance to reach his full potential.  However, having said that, I hope the writers will, in this case, let the dead stay dead.

Wow another rave from a GH actress. The Ava and Bobbie scenes were fab. God this is awesome.

They should have wanted to include her. I think Bobbie could have been written a bit better but I'm glad they used her. Pissy is using the vets better than Ron did I guess, which is NOT high praise. I about fell over the other day when Ava/Bobbie interacted. And while nice, there was nothing "fab" about them.

    • No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

    • I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.
    • You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
    • Christie said in her interview this week that she recently started taking acting classes again, and has been doing some work in England, so that helped her to jump into Carrie for this (as well as it being all so familiar, it really was home.)
    • Andrea Barber aka Kimmy Gibbler did have a few scenes with Drake too, when he first came on. Christie came in the middle of that storyline 
    • Carrie, as played by Andrea Barber, was at Bo & Hope's wedding. She was the flower girl. The ringbearer was Zachary Parker, the little boy that Megan tried to pass off as her and Bo's son. Andrea's Carrie was at Tony & Anna's real wedding (Aug. 5, 1985). She appeared for the last time on March 21, 1986. Christie's Carrie debuted on April 14, 1986. It appears that Carrie remained in Salem, just off-screen, during that near-month. Christie picked up with what Andrea had been playing, apprehension over John.
    • I don't think she is. I think she just created some really boring characters and for some reason doesn't know what to do with them.  But let's say that she is being force to write these characters that she doesn't like or want to write for.......that's a really bad sign that the creator of the show is being told what to do from the very beginning.  With so many EPs, I was worried there could be too many cooks in the kitchen, too many people giving notes - all those EPs are representing companies who have a stake in the show.    Canada continues to be one episode ahead. Thursday's US episode is another lacklustre episode, even with Leslie in it.  We'll see if Friday or Monday's episode in Canada will be a repeat. 
    • Like a lot of soaps, once relatives left, they kinda dropped off the face of the earth and out of conversations. I don't know why writers do that. If they just don't want to confuse viewers, or don't think it matters, or want the liberty kind of revise history to make their stories work. After Josh left in '84, he's barely mentioned. Even when Billy's railing against Kyle and refusing to accept him, it'd be the most natural thing in the world to say "Kyle's NOT by brother, JOSH is!" and I don't think he ever really says that.  The only writer I can recall who didn't do that is Doug Marland on ATWT. 
    • IIRC, there is a line during this time period where Reva says something like Marah is her first-born child, which fans were not thrilled with.  Dylan makes a few appearances through the rest of the show (and a much later recast that isn't really worth talking about, with a face that is familiar to you). He will make one briefly during 1997, if you get that far.
