The Limit | General Hospital promo (week of September 7, 2021)

To me it feels like the writers put Curtis out there with everybody. Then Frank notices and Curtis is back to the same old/same old.

 

The character thrives when Donnell Turner is able to do what he does best. There's definitely a twinkle in Turner's eye when he's mixing it up with Laura, Ava, Nina, etc.

The best way to utilize him isn't sticking him with a kid. This show rewrites family dynamics way too much. I don't see the point of taking Taggert out of the family or off the show. We should see him more than we have. He was always a great character, and an eventual return from sister Gia with a  Cassadine heir (as in Spencer's older more down-to earth half brother) writes itself. A new first born would ruffle the Hell out of everyone's feathers.    <cough> Kyler Pettis<cough>

An heir that's earned everything he has as opposed to getting it handed to him could be a great down the line story for Chavez's Spencer.

I want her to live too and stick around. There are other people out there who serve less of a purpose than she does. (Like Sasha/Brando). Also I do wonder how things will end up playing out regarding this paternity storyline with Trina. Multiple people are going to be really mad at her, I hope that Taggert returns for it and gets some decent airtime. We haven't seen him in a bit.

Same here. If this show were smart they would start building more family around Trina and keep her as Taggert’s daughter which basically makes her a legacy character. Bring in some cousins or something to start the next teen generation with Jake Spencer. But I love Taggert and hate the idea that he was duped.

I've grown to like her in the role, truthfully, but yes, the writing hasn't done her any favors. Jordan lost her edge. You saw a bit of fire come out with Cyrus. I have mixed feelings but the character feels ... done. Unfortunately. But who knows? Maybe she survives yet again LOL

I have come to like BNH. She’s a solid actress but she does give “generic Law & Order police officer with a ramrod-straight posture and a blank expression,” which works just fine for the professional scenes. I feel like VA gave stuff that wasn’t often on the page.

Jordan is such a sketchily written character that it’s hard to make much of an impression.

Gia could have some kids younger than Trina that can be part of Jake's generation, like you said.  And they did say that both of Portia parents our doctors, so perhaps they could recur or Portia can have a scheming sister who comes to town.

I assume she lives? lol

 

Curtis all of a sudden "I never stopped loving you" as Portia stands there all angsty. I guess it could still go either way. All the talk around her felt like anvils of impending death ("you're so strong" "you've come back to us before" etc) but with this show? LOL

 

In the next two weeks of spoilers I've read I don't see Curtis/Portia/Jordan listed at all. Hmm. 

 

Kristina is back though (not sure if we see her). Ava asks her to look after Charlie's Pub while she's gone. A better cast Kristina should be attempting to take over Sonny's business.

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
