GH January 2018 Discussion Thread

Sorry to any Maura West fans to begin with.

 

But I read (as I haven't watched GH since 2013!) that freaking AVA had a standalone episode recently. But LAURA, a character with ACTUAL HISTORY gets booted?!

 

Roger Howarth, Michelle Stafford, and Maura West are big soap names - but their characters are a drop in the bucket. ESPECIALLY Howarth's, a serial killer/rapist. One of THEM should have gone before friggin' Genie Francis.

 

Just shows me I made the right decision to quit after Scrubs (Patrick and Robin) left the show.

Bad Decision in High Places! is a fixture in our hearts-We of a certain age, remember exactly where we were for 's marriage:) ( actors stood watching in the make-up room...Cheering for the "I DO"s:) When speaks out-it gets heard!

I agree it was odd Ava got a stand-alone episode, but for me, I like Maura and Ava and have no problem with her place on the canvas. Frank probably wanted to dump her at some point anyway, and he'd probably let her walk like he did (or seemed willing to) other GH stars, but he seems to bend over backwards to keep Easton and deVry. Look at Rebecca Budig. Why was she axed and not Easton?

 

Also funny how they make a big spectacle of bringing Burton back but it's now really all about Drew. Everyone's concerned about him, but what about Jason, who lost five years of his life, comes back to another man playing daddy to his kids, the woman he loved married (and staying with, for now of course) to another man and doesn't seem to care that Jason is back ...

 

Why is he able to pay for James Patrick Stuart and Michelle Stafford? Nina's a total waste, dump Stafford and pay for Genie. But it shows Frank's agenda.

I love Maura.  She's a great actress and a seems like a truly nice lady.  My problem is Maura doesn't deserve this and Ava's SL does not warrant it.  It was Frank and Emmy bait to a pet.  

 

If Frank gave a damn about characters he inherited, Liz's rapist getting out of jail would have been the perfect opp for a one character focused eppy.  But Frank gave that POV to no talent Howarth.  Liz was ok with her rapist out of jail and working at the hospital?  That's insane and completely warrants the #FireFrank campaign!  He's poison!

I watched Liz's rape when it first happened 20 (!!!!!) years ago. What a letdown...and in the light of the #MeToo movement, it also shows how completely out of touch Valentini really is. He's doing a major disservice to real-life rape victims. I wonder how Becky Herbst feels about all this, but she's the type who seems like she doesn't want to rock the boat. Plus, she has kids and I'm sure she wouldn't want to endanger her job. What a mess. 😠😠😠😠😠

About James Patrick Stuart, I doubt he is paid much - because he is still recurring/not on contract, or so I have read and was told.

 

But Michelle Stafford can go buh bye anytime now.

 

I see #FireFrank all over Twitter and LOTS really do seem P-EYE-Double S-E-D about this. I wonder if anything will come of this. Honestly, I doubt it. I think ABC sees GH as a placeholder at this point. Sad, but there you go.

I really like James Patrick Stuart as well, and I think he kind of folds into the cast more than a lot of the others. My issue with Nina is more to do with never liking Stafford too much.

Ava just gets way too much focus and I find that strange inflection that Maura West uses with the character really strange.

    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
    • I need to listen! Forever & a Day was a fun soapy podcast to have available when I walked the dog.
