General Hospital: August 2021 Discussion Thread

[Faulkner]

Knew he was alive but ugh.

[FrenchBug82]

I thought it might be it at first but the lack of fanfare, goodbyes, homage from LW on social media... All the things you usually get from someone when they leave told me ... otherwise.
We will have a blessed few months with RH, Peter and Sonny out of Port Charles stories. Sigh.

Yeah, there he was to the chagrin of many lol. It looks like Nina may see him as well. I wonder if he tries to blackmail on keeping quiet about him being alive, because he may know that she knows Sonny/Mike is alive and hasn't told anyone about that. (And then Nina would be keeping two very big secrets). Or if maybe Nina sees him briefly but he doesn't speak and leaves quickly. And she thinks that her mind may be playing tricks on her. She's already a bit rattled after Maxie showing up on unexpectedly and wanting to stay in Nixon Falls with her.

Nina has a gift for seeing un-dead people.

AGREED!   I used to be a big fan of Ingo Rademacher as Jax, UNTIL I found out what a Trumper and Q-Anon crazy he is.  I think Jax has ran his course, instead of recasting (which I once thought would be best), it would be great to have Jax be a mob casualty.  Maybe he dies saving Carly's life,  or he's shot mistaken for Jason. 

I agree Lindsey Morgan was much better as Kristina, than the over-hyped, Lexi Ainsworth. 

So pissed and NOT surprised that Peter is alive.  Must be nice being Laura Wright's boyfriend?  Right Wes Ramsey?

We knew it was coming, but I still groaned out loud when a certain classically trained actor showed up at the end of today's episode...

Missed the end of today's episode. Parking Lot Pete's back.

Kind of liking sneaky, angry Chase, but making him Austin’s stooge was the wrong decision 

[FrenchBug82]

On the other hand, it sets up a nice little conflict between him and Brooklyn whenever they finally move on to these two as the next endgame post-Willow.

So you know, while I question some strategic decisions the writers are making (Austin's mere existence, Peter's return), I really can't hate on the very cleverly soapy way the show is being written right now.

[AbcNbc247]

I feel the same way.

Except for those two characters, I’m really enjoying the show right now.

[KMan101]

 

Yeah. Sigh.

 

As do I.

 

I have some minor issues, and several characters could go tomorrow and I wouldn't blink an eye, but I'm liking what they're trying to do. I wish Frank would let them write. 

 

Meanwhile, Austin's interest in Leo was borderline creepy. Howarth is so lazy.

I'll be honest, it took me a second to realize who Leo was when he popped up today. Kind of bizarre that they'd put him in a scene with Dante and Sam and remind the viewers that those two share Leo as a sibling but are dating.

And Leo wouldn't say hi to Sam for some reason. Then Olivia took him to the hospital for essentially a paper cut? What? It was all so weird. And Howarth's ponytail is getting worse by the day.

The Valentin/Anna/Sam scenes were all five seconds long and it was really annoying.

Michael and his one facial expression telling Willow that she's not a selfish, horrible coward... STFU Michael, yes she is. Chad Duell is soooo one note.

Angry Chase is the hottest man on the show.

 

[KMan101]

 

Lindsey Morgan's Kristina I could buy in the mob world. Too bad Lexi Ainsworth is so limited because Kristina should be a far bigger and more important character than she currently is. What a waste.

[Liberty City]

Ingo Rademacher's smug IG story is laughably cringeworthy.

YES! Plus, to me, Lindsey Morgan visually worked better as the daughter of Maurice Benard (Sonny) and Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis). Not to mention, Kristina remarking she is the product of a "sleazy one-night stand" is an iconic read.
