General Hospital: August 2021 Discussion Thread

Jax is really expendable as a character at this point. The writers could easily have him stumble upon the fact that Sonny is alive and create some event where either he dies or lands in a coma (of course Nina would be relieved, but feel some type of guilt over Jax's condition or demise). It ups the stakes in the Sonny story and takes care of some deadwood on the show.

A lot was going on in today's show, lol. It was a very good episode that felt like it could have aired during Halloween. 

Jeff Webber was actually mentioned today by Elizabeth and Laura. They were talking about contacting him since Naomi was killed. Elizabeth seemed unsure of where he was (she mentioned the last time she heard him he was in Africa). She mentions she's not sure or how she should contact him about the person he cheated on her mother with dying. Laura offers to send him an email.

Sam and Dante continue to have nice chemistry and they kissed again. I like them together, but she did a get a phone call today. (It looks like from Drew)

And so much was going on with Spencer's party at Wyndemere and the stalker situation. Ava and Kevin seem like they believe he could be the stalker after Ava went and shared Nikolas's suspicions with him. They both agree along with Laura that Nikolas's exposing him publicly is not a good idea. There were also a nurse looking weird outside of Kevin's office listening to them. I think she may try and pull something and is possibly connected to Ryan.

Speaking of Ryan, spencer got a phone call from him at the party and it shook him and the teens up. They originally started out having fun with the kids taking photos together in the photo booth. Then things went south as it was reported by the Head of Security that the launch was missing. He mentioned to the teens along with Joss's bodyguard that he was unable to reach the pilots. Spencer also got a creepy phone call from Ryan and saw a scary message on the floor of Wyndermere. The teens were worried about everything. I do think that Nik is behind at least some of the stuff that happened in today's show. But I also wonder if Ryan and/or the Novaks are responsible for anything.

And I loved the romantic ending today with Spencer/Trina. I liked how they cozied up to each other on the balcony after they tried to fix the signal booster. Someone creepy was lurking with a scary looking mask and knife. I do think that's more than likely Nikolas. But Spencer and Trina continue to have great chemistry and I'm glad to see they are headed towards being a couple.

I'm glad they had at least some fun at tonight's party, before things started to go South. I also like this picture of Spencer/Trina:

It seems like the party was outside where the "townies and randoms" hung out lol. And they weren't aware of what's going on inside the mansion. I do think we have multiple people possibly pulling stuff at this party. Nikolas for sure is doing stuff. He looks ridiculous in the picture underneath in his costume, lol. And on top of that he's carrying a knife. The stuff Spencer did to Ava, while wrong wasn't violent, there's no need for this "Nightmare on Elm Street" stuff Nik is trying to pull.

I understand that Nikolas shouldn't have been stalking but still. He shouldn't be doing this to his son. And I'm glad that Kevin, Laura and even Ava are against the way he's going about dealing with Spencer. I am interested in seeing what happens when Laura/Kevin show up to Wyndemere while Nikolas is still enacting his plan. 

I also wonder if Ryan is also doing some stuff too. The nurse at the hospital looked really suspicious to me when she heard Kevin/Laura and Ava all talking about Spencer possibly being the stalker. I do think she will try and do something. And that she may be the person that was watching Ava at the hospital.

I hope you get a chance to see them.

 I really enjoyed them today, especially their scenes at the end.  If the press conference starts early, sometimes people will put clips of them up on Twitter. There is at least like one person on Twitter, who usually gets scenes of them up relatively quickly.

lol. I'm glad you got to see it. It's looks like Trina may finally have a man, lol. I do wonder if they will kiss this week or not. I could see it almost happening, but something interrupts like it. Like maybe Nikolas makes a nice tomorrow or something, causing them to go back inside. Then I think that is when he will reveal himself, after grabbing/scaring Spencer some more. 

I definitely think something is up with that nurse. She looked like she was up to no good. And I believe she's may have been on at least one or maybe more than one episodes recently in the background. I do wonder if she's working with Ryan or someone else. I do think she will do something to Ava.

    • Thanks. I'm glad we have some fan memories of these years as this is such a typically snide take on the genre. It's also poorly written and reminds me a great deal of the tedious "snark" recaps that became popular in the '90s. The end in particular. The 1979/80 stuff I have seen is much more polished than a number of soaps at the time. It was very easy to watch and not too bogged down in past story.  Margo is played by Ann Williams, who was on what seemed like every soap. I think she said Margo was her favorite role.  These episodes aren't consecutive, but if you ever have time, they are worth a watch. They are bits and pieces from January and April of 1979 - April in and out of prison, her past calling to her via her psychic powers (and the suicide of Miles' wife Denise, who had murder framing in mind). April 1979 has the end of Winter Austen (such a fantastic soap name).  I don't want to drop a ton of links but you can find playlists on Youtube.
    • And the rating 'wars' continue...hehe.
    • Well, it was fun while it lasted for Rebecca Herbst. Le sigh.    
    • I am wholeheartedly enjoying this show. I just haven't been able to post as much as I used to. But yes, this episode needs to be submitted for the EMMYs and there needs to be wins. I better NOT see Y&R, DAYS, or B&B winning in categories over BTG. I feel like the only show that is giving BTG an ounce of competition this season is GH. 
    • I never thought the day would come, but too much MM for me. 
    • I think it may be that the character was brought in for a specific purpose and then became popular with viewers, and the show didn't know how to respond.  The choice to pivot away from Simon/India may show that you are right and they didn't care for her...although pairing them up may be another sign they didn't care for her. I don't connect well with this period but it does make me happy seeing some of these characters before the great purge and some of the surprises - I'd forgotten the wonderful Maureen O'Sullivan popped up to be bumped off. So typical of soaps by this point, but it doesn't grate as much as later on when Y&R would bring on any random cast member from Small Wonder. I'm also amazed at this time at just how much money the show must have had. The costumes for the Founder's celebration in summer 1984, or whatever it was, looked gorgeous.
    • Which officially started to feel that way today with them hearing each other out as they confronted each other at the same time.    Same. He was even catching himself when he was about to go overboard or do those tics that people don't seem to like. He failed a bit at the end, but he carried. It makes me think about a month back when it was discussed that the actor was better in other things he's been in. And I questioned then if that meant that he was playing Martin more intentionally. I questioned that briefly again today because he was giving. 
    • I really like the actress who plays Margo. Don't know  her name. I'm so hesitant to google anyone because I don't want to know the length they were on the show. I've watched two episodes and I have to say that the show does not feel as dated as other shows. I tried to watch Ryan's Hope a few weeks back and some of the acting was a bit rough. EON is a lot more natural which amuses me considering it's a mystery/thriller show.
