GH to air "classic" episodes

Monavie. Shivers. I do feel his leaving and coming back from Y&R has mellowed him so I can believe that.

 

Well, you got it...just not with SBu's Jason.

  I was such a Jason/Robin fan and loathed SJB Carly messing that up.

 

Even as a Liason fan (and I admit that I liked Greasy Black/White Ball Hair...don't shoot me), I saw more in common with McBain and Sam vs Jason and Sam outside of the opportunity to see Liz get back with him. Perhaps it is because ME and KM played one of my favorite couples. I loved Livvie and Caleb together...they fit perfectly once she went bad girl and I have fun memories (and live for the day it shows up on YT again with the original song Delirum's FLOWERS BECOME SCREEN) of the masquerade ball from the Naked Eyes arc on PC when they crossed past and had those other live flashbacks as they were dancing. shivers and just that timeless Vampire love vibe. Rumbling. lol. But I felt they had an easy chemistry and just fit better given the things going on in their lives.

I also thought he looked great with his longer hair, but it wasn’t butch enough for mob Jason apparently.

 

Yes, it did kind of coincide with his marriage now that I think about it.  But still, look at Kelly.  Nobody is letting her not be in a bikini.  It’s just another example of a double standard.  Again, his clothes were not even fitted until he came back under Valentini.

 

The men on GH have fought so many romantic pairings it is ridiculous.  Steve did it, Tyler did it.  Tony (mostly not wanting to be paired with Laura again, but still).

 

Liz/Jason/Sam/Lucky could have been that generations Lesley/Rick/Monica/Alan.  But key performers (mostly Steve) have reportedly pushed back against it several times.

I liked them as rivals because Robin wasn’t the normal good girl trope on soaps, she had been through it and was tough, and SJB’s Carly had that vulnerability that made you root for her even when she was a nightmare to everyone else.

Today’s classic shows just how much the creative team at the time needed a change.  They finally got Vanessa back and subjected us to this.  With all this emotion on display, the show should not feel this lethargic.

 

I do think this is maybe the best speech about himself that Sonny has ever delivered in his entire run on the show.  The power he knows will always be there.  Even if he has to fight for it.  Because the love, even if he fights for it, won’t last or stay.  That’s why he will always choose power.

If this is the episode I'm thinking of, it's some of Maurice's last, best work and it's the reason I've said ever since that there is no point pairing Sonny with anyone unless the character chooses to fundamentally change. If he won't do it for Brenda, he'll do it for no one. It was an incredible scene.

It is probably MB's last, best work.  It was actually probably the best VM/MB scene in her return because it made sense for both characters and was well acted.  The fundamental issues in their relationship were still there even if the love still was as well.  The JaSam stuff is pretty silly compared to the emotion of Sonny and Brenda.  Also it had some good Jax stuff with him saying goodbye to little Morgan.

    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
