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.

    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react. 
    • 5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama. 
    • I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*
    • I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in. 
    • You are the best!!!! That is a remarkable talent, to not just summarize, but contextualize Draper's dilemma!  It is delightful to be able to think of that situation in a new way. - Thank you

          I was pondering Lee Godart's accent, because it was so dreamy.  It made me think he would've been perfectly cast as Victor Newman's brother on Y&R.  American's have a hard time distinguishing European accents.  And, good news, before I hit reply, I went and confirmed the actor is still alive.
    • Has anyone even told Gio that Sonny once shot Dante?
