GH October 2020 Discussion

I know alcoholism is a serious problem, and soaps vacillate between playing it very real and sad, and camping it up.  Sometimes they do both with the same storyline (Erica’s pill addiction, although compared to what I saw of her brother’s addiction storyline hers was pretty shallow).

 

But every time they have dipped into this with Alexis I have found it neither dark enough or with enough weight to be a good issue storyline, nor is she any fun like Nikki on Y&R when falling off the wagon.  It’s just filler.

LOL it was. They were all sad their bromance was over. Michael was a petty bitch of course. We all know Michael should be banging dudes. None of his relationship with women have ever worked ... just saying

 

LOL right? 

 

And TBH, Alexis is far more entertaining as a drunk. I loved her defiance with Sam. Grahn did a good job. Of course now Julian's back in orbit right on cue. 

 

lol

 

Monaco has been checked out for years and years. It's bizarre watching her on Port Charles (I was Youtubing it a while back) and how she's now a zombie. She was never great but she was checked in. I wish they had made Sam Kevin's instead of Julian Jerome. It's still LOL that Monaco and deVry play father and daughter. And of course Sam runs to Alexis' enabler and most toxic relationship in Julian. So he can be the big hero? Meh. Julian should have been dead years ago.

 

Benard needed to retire years ago, IMHO.

 

Meanwhile, sidenote to @BetterForgotten I love your avatar picture of Bet and Hilda from Corrie. I've been immersing myself in Coronation Street (classic, mind you). It's sad to see how far the show has fallen. I need to get into the Coronation Street thread. There should be a thread for the classic years. I'd be curious to see where people believe it fell off.

 

Anyway, back to the mess that is GH.

 

I like Carly losing it over Nelle. I hope we get Nelle gaslighting her ass soon and driving her into the loony bin. Give me drama. I also hope some crazy Nina returns when Jax and Carly inevitably have sex with each other down the road and their 'secret' comes out. Can we then get Brenda back or just ship Sonny off to the mobster retirement home?

 

So many little things about the current soaps bother me but I'm just always a believer in the next generation 'carrying on the torch' if you will. You should have that Alan and Monica dynamic and Carly and AJ were perfect for it. Sigh.

 

That would be nice!

They are. I think they might. They were on today and it was nice to see them. And Dev was manipulating Josslyn. Kudos to whoever decided to make Dev a schemer causing trouble between them all. It at least adds some small (very small) spark.

Well, Michael's first time with a man was not a very pleasant experience for him but you would think that Chase would've been the one to help Michael finally realize what he really wants lol

Dev was a devious little bastard today. I like it.  But getting back to another point that you made, I do sometimes wish Carly's daughter was more like Carly lol she should know that something is up with Dev and not be so easily manipulated by him.

 

I still would have no problem with Cam being with Joss or Trina or even Dev.

Why have Trina decide with one kiss that she has no feelings for Cam? Just stupid. And a Joss needs a personality, stat. 
 

The Cyrus character won’t end soon, but should, because it’s pathetic. This ALL POWERFUL AND DEADLY GIANT is personally making visits to Julian’s dive bar to buy it and threaten him??? I thought he was supposed to be a big shot, a real boss. This stuff is just ridiculous.

    • 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.
