GH December 2020 Discussion

I only follow GH by reading this thread. Why was Julian finally killed off? I imagine Sonny and Jason did it like they always do. I don’t think I can ever get back into the show if there’s never a change with those two old mobsters still being the town heroes.

So from what I’ve seen in clips on Youtube, Sonny and Jason finally tracked down Julian in Secaucus. Julian subsequently got injured after being shot by one of Cyrus’s men during an ambush and escaped.

 

Sonny got to Julian alone on a decrepit footbridge not far from the bus station. Sonny gave Julian the option to come back to Port Charles and help nail Cyrus once and for all. However, Julian had lost a lot of blood from being shot and had nothing left to lose. So he did a fake-out of being unconscious, and then took one last desperate lunge at Sonny to stay alive. Unfortunately, Sonny’s gun went off in the struggle and shot Julian (AGAIN!).

 

Julian then finally collapsed dead on the bridge, at which point Jason appeared. Then the bridge collapsed into the river taking down both Sonny and Julian. At this stage, Julian’s body has been found (he is finally DEAD dead), but not Sonny.

Yep exactly, because Sonny and Jason knew that Julian could link Cyrus to the Floating Rib bombing. Obviously Sonny had his own vendetta against Julian re Wylie, but that took a step aside to getting rid of Cyrus, whom Sonny believes (with merit) is much more dangerous.

Not for nothing, but how do you not immediately hide the booze when you have an alcoholic in the room?

 

The Molly/TJ/Brando story should have been played more, especially since Brando is now moving on to Sasha. How many ladies have been in Brando's orbit now?

The lack of interest in Kristina is perplexing.  I don't need to see LA/Kristina everyday, but she's more exciting than Michael lol.  And Kristina strangely misses events she should be part of like Mike's death.  The show used to be really invested in her and I guess after the re-casting and re-re-casting show only is trotted out for some events.  I have to be honest, I would rather watch Kristina's adventures as a bi-sexual than Michael/Willow/Chase/Sasha being boring and having zero chemistry.  Being that she's 28 and married herself now, Kristina might finally look old enough to be paired with NP/Ethan if they ever get him back for good.

I said it on Twitter a week or two ago. The five minutes of screen time Lexi Ainsworth got this season on Shameless gave her more material than the last five years of her playing Kristina on GH. I always wanted Kristina to be Lucky Santangelo esque and take over Sonny's organization.

I'd rather watch Kristina too. They also leave her out of Alexis' stuff. It's bizarre. And they make an effort to explain her absence too! LOL. 

 

Michael/Willow/Chase/Sasha are soooooo boring. I like Chase and all but the quad is snoozeville. Sasha was fun as a coke head. She has some potential but the actress is still kinda green and they don't seem 100% invested in her, IMO. She still feels like dead woman walking. I'm kinda surprised they didn't off her. 

 

Wanted to add it's absolutely hilarious to see Jason's passion for Sonny. He shows more emotion for that man over anything else. Though he did manage to water his eyes during his breakup with Sam. LOL.

She's probably the only child of Sonny's I could see being smart enough to take over Sonny's organization, but I prefer it when she's mad at Sonny.  Outside of Dante/Michael being mad at Sonny for a few months years ago, she's the only child that had real issue with Sonny and his job and his abilities as a father.  I wonder if LA is unavailable a lot or something because her absence generally makes no sense.

 

 

I actually like Sasha and Chase.  I have always liked Sasha.  I thought her and Willow were very interchangeable at first, but now Sasha has a coke problem so that's cool.  I get what you are saying about the show not be invested in her.  She always seemed like a minor character they decided to keep longer than initially planned.  The quad just lacks any spark and someone needs to be the vixen or bad guy because it's boring.  

 

I think SBu plays up Jason's reactions to Sonny on purpose. I think he's sort of in on the joke that Sonny and Jason are the true love story.  And I don't think SBu/Jason has cared about JaSam in the better part of a decade.  I think SBu is still capable of being good but chooses to phone it in, while MB phones it in but doesn't realize that's what he's doing if that makes sense?  I think MB generally thinks he's doing great work, while SBu knows he's not lol.

Finishing up 12-11-20 and...

 

GOD BLESS TRACY QUARTERMAINE!!! Oh, how I want her to stay. Loving these scenes with her and Alexis.

 

I hate to admit it given how much I don't like them...but this is the most that I've felt for a Sam/Jason breakup. It's been well done for me so far. Like I said in an earlier post, I like the angle they are taking this time with it. All the other times that I was watching, Sam was ABOUT THAT LIFE. The difference this time is that she got a taste of a better one with Drew. A legit life. A safe, but exciting life. And to go backwards...yeah, I can see where she is going with it. 

 

Awwww....Nik and Ava are together. Nice.

 

So...a loose end...Julian has a baby with Kim out there. So if this ends with Julian's death which it looks like it did/is...that Jerome thread will ALWAYS be out there.

 

I don't think I will ever get used to Carly and Sam getting along. lol.

 

Dare I say it...Scotty and Dr. O?

 

And I liked that my suspicion was right and it is looking like a double wedding with Finn/Anna and Maxie/Peter...right as all the plot threads having to do with Peter...are coming to a head. So...February Sweeps?

 

Franco...meh.

A Lucky Mention!!!

 

I'm not a fan of flashback episodes, but given how many things I've missed...it's a godsend today. 

 

Watching Tracy be a Quatermaine is always fun.

 

ETA: I see Britt is still looking Hot AF since her return.

    • That's always been my thought. I can't imagine that the show would play up the unseen AD so far in advance without them casting a *star*. After today's episode, I wonder if he'll somehow be connected with Diane. It was strange that Diane mentioned her very distant family today. I can't recall Diane ever talking about her backstory. Maybe he's her much younger brother?  It's also possible he's connected to Diane during her time in LA. Sally's already said she crossed paths with him. OC, I think Dumas is Mariah's mistake.... As a side note, it was good to see some mixing it up - Adam with Clare/Kyle and Sharon with Tessa.
    • Here's the place to share some memorable criticism. You don't have to agree with it, of course (that's often where the fun starts). Like I mentioned to @DRW50, Sally Field was a favorite punching bag in the late '80s and early '90s.   Punchline (the 1988 movie where she and Tom Hanks are stand ups): "It's impossible to tell the difference between Miss Field's routines that are supposed to be awful, and the awful ones that are supposed to be funny." -- Vincent Canby, New York Times. "It's not merely that Field is miscast; she's miscast in a role that leaves no other resource available to her except her lovability. And (David) Seltzer's script forces her to peddle it shamelessly." -- Hal Hinson, Washington Post. "As a woman who can't tell a joke, Sally Field is certainly convincing. ... Field has become an unendurable performer ... She seems to be begging the audience not to punch her. Which, of course, is the worst kind of bullying from an actor. ... She's certainly nothing like the great housewife-comedian Roseanne Barr, who is a tough, uninhibited performer. Sally Field's pandering kind of 'heart' couldn't be further from the spirit of comedy." -- David Denby, New York   Steel Magnolias: The leading ladies: Dolly Parton: "She is one of the sunniest and most natural of actresses," Roger Ebert wrote. Imagining that she probably saw Truvy as an against-type role, Hinson concluded it's still well within her wheelhouse. "She's just wearing fewer rhinestones." Sally Field: "Field, as always, is a lead ball in the middle of the movie," according to Denby . M'Lynn giving her kidney to Shelby brought out David's bitchy side. "I can think of a lot more Sally Field organs that could be sacrificed." Shirley MacLaine: "(She) attacks her part with the ferociousness of a pit bull," Hinson wrote. "The performance is so manic that you think she must be taking off-camera slugs of Jolt." (I agree. If there was anyone playing to the cheap seats in this movie, it's Shirley.) Olympia Dukakis: "Excruciating, sitting on her southern accent as if each obvious sarcasm was dazzlingly witty," Denby wrote. Daryl Hannah: "Miss Hannah's performance is difficult to judge," according to Canby, which seems to suggest he took a genuine "if you can't say something nice ..." approach. Julia Roberts: "(She acts) with the kind of mega-intensity the camera cannot always absorb," Canby wrote. That comment is so fascinating in light of the nearly 40 years Julia has spent as a Movie Star. She is big. It's the audience who had to play catch up. And on that drag-ish note ... The movie itself: "You feel as if you have been airlifted onto some horrible planet of female impersonators," Hinson wrote. Canby: "Is one supposed to laugh at these women, or with them? It's difficult to tell." Every review I read acknowledged the less than naturalistic dialogue in ways both complimentary (Ebert loved the way the women talked) and cutting (Harling wrote too much exposition, repeating himself like a teenager telling a story, Denby wrote). Harling wrote with sincerity and passion, Canby acknowledged, but it's still a work of "bitchiness and greeting card truisms." The ending was less likely to inspire feeling good as it was feeling relieved, according to Denby. "(It's) as if a group of overbearing, self-absorbed, but impeccable mediocre people at last exit from the house."
    • I tend to have two minds about Tawny (Kathy Najimy) fainting during Soapdish's big reveal. You're the costume designer, if anything, you should have known the whole time. I guess it's an application of what TV Tropes calls the "Rule of Funny." Every time I watch Delirious, I always want the genuine romance in John and Mariel's reunion at the deli counter to last longer. Film critics had their knives out for Sally in this period. I'll start a separate thread on the movies page.
    • I don't think so, but I wouldn't be surprised if he was Dumas this whole time.
    • Tamara Tunie was serving up grand dame diva fierceness.
    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
