GH January 2018 Discussion Thread

Balance is one the keys to soap writing.

I’ve enjoyed the last two episodes quite a bit. The Faison Story has given the show some energy.

 

I didn’t realize how attractive Faison was in his younger days, actually made him even more creepy in those flashbacks.

Ant, I think that sometimes we are so desperate for the good stuff from BITD that when a legacy villain appears, why he's there and how it plays out looks like good stuff.  I found it to be utterly ridiculous.  And the characters saying "Peter August" 100 times certainly didn't help.  Compare this to 2007's Metro Court Crisis and see how organized and thrilling that was compared to Frank's mess.  I wasn't engaged because it was stupid and boring, but then, I never cared one way or the other for that Anders person.  I love villains, but not creepy ass villains.

If you don't like Anders than you wouldn't have liked it anyway lol. (And I know many people who think he's ridiculous and over the top, and others think he's scary and creepy and are fascinated to watch him. I'm kind of in between those extremes). I get what you're saying though.

 

But this is Frank's Budget GH. I can't compare to the past anymore because I'll never find any sliver of hope in the crap we get on a daily basis. The good times are gone.

It's very possible to like/appreciate a story even when you aren't fond of the actor(s) in the story. Not a fan of Sebastian Roche but I was glued to the TV during the hostage Crisis. 

 

Frank and Co. have attempted numerous times to replicate that story and have failed each time. He focuses too much on pets and forcing them to the forefront when it might not make sense instead of the actual story. The end result is always an uninteresting disjointed mess!  Where are Maxie's parents?!!  

[KMan101]

Maxie's mom is too busy pushing Finn and Anna together to be involved, dontcha know?

When did Woodpile get to be such an integral character on GH to the point half of GH is crying and wailing over him?

[dragonflies]

Yet Genie gets [!@#$%^&*], ughhhhhhhh

[Juliajms]

I don't know, but at least he's dead.

[ChitHappens]

 

The glass is 3/4 full!  

[victorlord75]

I didn't see the episode yet, but the mourning sounds as widespread as it was for Nicholas's death.  Oh wait.  That never happened.

One week off canvas and they could start pushing Valentin toward Anna... Nina who???????

TV Guide dedicated its jeers section to GH for dumping Genie. Cheers to them and jeers to Frank.

[ChitHappens]

 

Nah, Frank is proud of his creation...Anna and the anorexic dope fiend!  Fanna is one of the most popular things on GH right now (delusional fvck!)

[slick jones]

Nothing against Finola, but she doesn't  even look all that interested in this (not built up enough) "relationship". Outside of them  using Felecia prop the two, I just haven't seen  the relationship hit any beats.  

 

It's been an afterthought from the start, and I just don't see any reason or build up to love. The two had friend chemistry when he was McPain, but that was three characters ago.
