GH April 2021 Discussion

It was an unexpected idea (and I like when shows put two characters I wouldn't have thought of together) and I like it but I wonder what they can do with them as a couple.
The way WR walked into that elevator and that overdramatic turn... Man I can't imagine what the other actors must be thinking.

I hear you but schemes work when they are organic.
From past experience with soaps, when they pair schemers together, writers then tend to look for schemes for them to get into rather than give them stories and then let the tendency to scheme flow from those.
The scheming becomes the point of the character rather than a way the character deals with things that happen. 
That's what I am worried about here but it is way premature for me to bitch about it. So far so good.

Include me in the Scott/Liesl relationship being the only good thing the Stanco character led .  to.  Britt's face was priceless.

Scott/Liesl/Anna/Valentin "strange bedfellows" to take Peter down definitely would keep my attention.  Anna and Liesl bickering while plotting a perfect plan...

This is good - many little sub circles forming to get rid of Peter and Cyrus...

  • Anna/Valentin
  • Britt/Jason
  • Scotty/Liesl
  • Laura/Carly/Ava

The last time Laura and Ava teamed up was during the Ryan saga. And obviously we’ve spoken already about Scotty and Liesl linking up, and perhaps the greater possibility of the Anna/Valentin/Liesl/Scotty quad.

 

As much of a mess GH has been, this is the only one of the 4 soaps that has me hooked right now. That alone should make it #2 rather than B&B.

We'll see what happens.

 

I sometimes think that Peter is still going to be around for a while, but then I remember all the other characters (Nelle, Julian, Dev, etc.) that were killed off before their big secrets were revealed, and I can't help wonder if that may happen with Peter as well.

I agree. MEK could have been Jeff. 

 

And good point on Dan and Chris. It often does feel like 'two shows' in one (well, three if you add in Frank's pets). I guess Chris created Peter but I thought it was Altman. I'd be interested in Dan taking the reigns solo, I think he's capable but it would be nice to have diversity with a woman of color as his other head writer.

They get hammered about Liz and her family on social media constantly, and rightfully so (especially when someone other than her gets a parent or sibling).

 

I think they also realize a certain Harrison family should have been Hardy/Webbers (hence tying Chase/Finn/Jackie/Gregory together, which works, though Jackie is weirdly absent at odd times). I'm assuming Frank will find some friends to cast in those roles. I better not see Farah Fath playing Sarah.

 

Sarah Brown or Tamara Braun playing this stuff as Carly would be amazing.

    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
    • Tessa clarified a few years ago that she is gay and not bi.   I find it offensive that the show is teasing her with Daniel. Mariah told Sharon she went emotionally/mentally to a dark place, and while she was out of town on business she got drunk and did something bad.  But Mariah didn't say she cheated.  The show wants us to assume that, but she didn't say that.  She could have taken drugs or who knows what.  All we know is that she feels shame and doesn't want Tessa to know.  Mariah says the inner darkness is due to the longterm influence of Ian in the past, and she hasn't healed from that. With a *good* writer, we could have organic conflict in the Teriah marriage, without cheating.  But JG isn't a good writer.  
    • Was that before his accident? I think it was. Most of us have never seen him before it happened.
