General Hospital: August 2021 Discussion Thread

I third this.
And I'd add, as we discussed a few weeks back, that Sonny's likely resentment of what happened with Jason and Carly when he was "gone" might help fuel the messiness and why he might give the Nina flirtation more than a chance despite her betrayal.
But on paper at least it still feels like it would be somewhat out-of-character. Sonny usually would hold grudges, wouldn't he?

Now those were some pretty good cliffhangers.

 

Maxie in Nixon Falls!!!

 

BrookLynn catches Chase with the paper saying that Edward was considering changing the will. Of all the people to catch him...the one who is a mostly good friend to him. Ah, the drama!

 

And did Sonny have another memory flash. Uh oh...

Well, you all did warn me. And I still don't like Austin's flat voice either so ugh!!!

 

The writers did such a great job writing off Cyrus, Peter, and Franco. And it allowed the characters to move on and/or grow. And now Cyrus is used to write Laura and a just returned Martin out...and apparently he is going to show up. Now Peter is the first person to see Sonny....OF COURSE HE IS!!!! They need to stop trying to make 'Fetch' happen with that. And now Franco is Austin...but even drier than Franco was. Just...ugh.

 

KS looks great, but I wished we had kept Maxie a way a little while longer. 

 

I really cannot believe that Michael/Willow are sitting here trying to justify their actions. But hey, Chase suuuuure is looking good as he is going off. I'm not sure how I feel about this part of the triangle ending. It just feels too soon. That said, I liked that Brooklynn had Chase's number. I also liked Ned trying to buy Austin off. Where's Tracy when you need her?

 

REAL CHLOE LIVES!!!! BUT...why?

 

Speaking of living...I love to see Terry vs Britt continue!!!! And Ugh...Liz was wrong for that.

What's a soap without a little blackmail?

 

While I don't like Peter and don't like that the writers are letting him win by blackmailing Nina, I admit they are giving me DAYS Kate/Sami mid/late 90s vibes when they had secrets on the other and kept blackmailing each other over it leading to juicy catfights. Hahahahaha at Nina siccing Dr. Orbecht on Peter. GET HIM!!!!

 

Speaking of soapy, SHAME ON THEM!!! I liked that Willow finally expressed herself to Chase completely, but they could had ridden the Michael/Willow/Chase triangle just a little bit longer, giving the characters so much gray. That was too abrupt. I just felt they threw that out the window for more Austin mess which is currently the LEAST interesting part of the Quartermaine storylines running around. 

 

I continue to get the feeling that what we are currently watching is Jax's exit story. I just can't shake it. The clear foreshadowing with his repetitive talks with Carly. The fact Jax is becoming uncharacteristically annoying and oblivious like the real personality of the actor is coming out. And Joss's weird talk to Jason about the vibe Carly and Jax are putting out at the dinner with Cam. It's the writing on the wall. I wish I could say that I cared, but too much RL has gotten in the way of me seeing Jax as...Jax.

    • Elliot is SOOOOO tasty in this period. He's so wicked. One of the reasons I stayed on with the show when I began watching. 
    • I can get through another 10 to 20 episodes. April is such a compelling character. The actress just owns the screen. I think this is also why I'm annoyed by Draper. Margo and April are so fantastic that Draper is a wet blanket (except for one scene which I mention below).   Draper was bearable in his scenes with Logan because he was not whining about the house. If he has more scenes with Logan, I can tolerate him. As of now, he's just very one note. Everyone has had more to do.  Thank you for explaining about Raven's backstory and her connection to Draper. It clears things up. Logan explained things a bit in the convo with Draper, but there was still some things I was not sure of. Gabet and Kibbee are just sensational. I now see why people adore Sharon Gabet. How did AW squander her talents? SMH.  It's the way Draper is written. I'm drawn to Eliot who is a total cheating pig. The writing and the performance are first-rate. Draper is stomping around like a spoiled child and I don't have the benefit of seeing April and Draper's relationship from the beginning so this is my first intro to Draper. He's annoying as can be. ========== There's also an African-American police officer who's struggling to walk again. He's Steve's partner. He took his first steps. I can't tell if they are writing him off or if he's going to say. I hope he stays because the actor is quite charismatic.
    • Oh no!  Did you not like the Susan character? She intrigued me from that one episode I skimmed through. What didn't you like about her?
    • The eternal dream...him begging to get with her included. 
    • On the other hand, I still find episodes of TV with people smoking in front of babies shocks me into nervous giggles.
    • Word of advice... you have to view the show without the 2025 lenses.. which means you need to 86 the misandry.
    • i love reading other posters alternate takes and scenarios. Yours would have really upped the tension.
    • Amanda is not my cup of tea. That's all I'm gonna say. She's repetitive and childish. She acts like a brat with her parents and has this constant "I'm not satisfied or happy" look on her face. The actress is okay in my opinion. I'm not impressed by anything I've seen her do so far. But she's okay.  BUT Amanda's repetitive scenes with Sam are the ones that I want to fast-forward the most. They just have 2  topics they like to talk about... and it's always "You are infringing on my right to be a powerful career woman! I need to be outside dating men for a job, so I can WORK and prove I'M NOT A RICH GIRL ONLY!" and he's like "You and your family are buying me a career and I don't want it! I WANT TO BE ABLE TO STRUGGLE and be poor and you guys ARE denying me the opportunity by giving it all on a silver platter" This is their main storyline for me... and it's just annoying when it's the same every single episode. It's a fake struggle that I don't buy. These people are so spoiled by this point and have everything... don't make me suffer listening to them bicker how amazing their life is, so they are unhappy about that. Just a personal view. I'm not saying THIS IS the situation. My view is also restricted, since I'm only 4-5 months into the episodes. 
    • It's shocking to see Steffy look down on anyone. She was the new generation HO for years. I mean... she was nasty and using sex to seduce married-engaged-in-relationship-men all the time. She was embracing it fully. Bradley was accenting on the fact that Taylor's daughter had become Brooke 2. I remember how disgusting it was when she was using Hope's virginity to her advantage and offering to f-ck the guys that wanted Hope. It was ABSURDLY nasty.  Then couple of years ago Bradley decided we should forget about it and made Steffy BECOME her grandmother. IN AN INSTANT. There was no build up to it. Which aged the f-ck out the character and made her unbearable. Because it's one thing to see an actual matriarch, older woman doing these things, being a moral judge... but it's complete joke to see the ex-ho acting like this. Ex-ho that is still incredibly young and has no right acting like she is better that anyone or... a moral JUDGE. Steffy and Hope's personalities got swapped!!! That's the irony of it. So any time these gang-style of fans come attacking Hope... for acting like a "slut"... I pinch myself - their HEROINE Steffy was doing this HARCORE. Are these people oblivious or just pretending not to remember. How can you stan a moral judge... that attacks "sluts" and also stan the same type of behavior you are attacking... years ago. How does this happen. But I repeat myself at this point.  I agree with everything you said 100000 percent. It's the truth. At least in my eyes.
