So, apparently

All the while Elizabeth, a contract player has been more than conspicuously absent. I don't see why they continue to bring on characters and guest actors that cost good money but haven't done squat with her story.

Also, did they need to put Gregory Harrison on contract to babysit Violet?  Of course-- even if he and hordes of other actors of a certain age could have been cast as Jeff Webber to appear in Rebecca Herbst's story. (Looking at Doug Davidson, Robert Newman, Robert S. Woods, John Wesley Shipp and many, many others.)

I can see where Alexis and Laura's stories are on hold due to vacations,  but the constant stunt casting <cough> Morgan Fairchild and Susan Batten <cough> and delays in the Elizabeth story have become tedious.  What was the point of yet another story that begins as Elizabeth's and results in crap?

THANK YOU!!! ALL OF THIS!!!

 

I've been saying for a while that I don't like that Finn's family...which has had adequate show time over the last few years...have not only started to hog screen time that is coming across VERY forced, but has taken Elizabeth's storyline hostage. It had been paced soooooooo well for the most part and now that we got to a turn/climax of sorts...she...VANISHES. And it's all about FINN'S pain. In HER story. And Gregory can have seats. He's a circle in a square peg for Alexis where Harmony was so it's just meh. And again...forced. It honestly feels like they are sabotaging Elizabeth's story.

 

Then again...playing catchup right now, I do wonder if the reason they are stalling her story is because of that Blind Item in the Spoiler section of this board. It is the only reason that would make sense. If so...yeeeeah, I'm with you...RECAST. There are plenty of soap vets out there and available.

I used to feel she was treated horribly under JFP and Guza, often written as a plot piece instead of a character.  She’s had to sell some ridiculous story turns during her tenure, and often wasted in pairings.  Both nothing compares to this- she has truly been used to prop people who should have long been gone from GH, and now even her biggest story in years is currently all about Finn.  It’s appalling.

One More reason to hate JFP! Remember How Eica's Rape was a plot device for CENTURIES on AMC? Rape trauma never really goes away, they could try something like that with Elizabeth too for example, she was raped around the time she joined right? Couldn't they ressurrect the subject? Actually i mentioned on the Classic thread they could do this with Michael, why not with them jointly? they both go expierences that make them relive their respective assaults, join a support group for rape victims, and that would be juicy material since how difficult it must be to a man to admit suffering this kind of aggression, and as i don't think they're related they could get close, it's just an idea but at least it would be about them not as two plot devices

Saw this article title:

As General Hospital Cheers Rebecca Herbst’s Liz-aversary, Fans Cry Foul: ‘So Where’s Her Special Episode?’

 

#firefrank will never give Elizabeth any kind of shot. He proves his dislike every time he sticks his pets to take over her stories.

      I've seen Jason interact with Mitch and annoy him. That's as far as I recall. I didn't even have a slight idea that Evan had a vendetta against Rachel... That came as a surprise to me. I thought Evan was Iris's dog and that's it. Now he's definitely more interesting.

      Thanks for these. I can't recall -- did Evan's vendetta have any position on Mitch, or was it all about Rachel? @Maxim have you seen any Frames intreracting with Mitch in any way?

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Uh-oh. Today just might’ve been the first Paula/Jeanne stinker. I have a feeling whose fault that might be though. So, Doug III is getting a job at the Pub?  It’s good to see him interact with other characters. I enjoyed his scenes with Roman, even though the talk of Frankie and Max seemed a little random. And it also could be really interesting now that Tate knows. Days really need to start pushing their rivalry again. We need some follow up from the punch. Tying it all to Holly, to Sophia’s pregnancy, to the guys that Doug III owes money to could be good.  But yeah, wayyy too much Leo again in today’s episode. Seriously, has anything changed with this nothing character? I thought it was all Ron’s fault, but maybe Greg Rikaart is (partially) responsible for Leo being so insufferable.  And yeah seriously, Rafe needs to throw all of these people out of his house. Including Gabi

      But I do wonder who’s the mysterious voice that Gabi overheard with EJ on the night he was shot. Based on yesterday’s episode, I have a suspicion.

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      Add me to the group of people who think that Brandon has improved. He has. There's no doubt about it. Especially compared to the beginning. And he's improving in a way that... it makes me think that he realizes what the issues are and is addressing them. Of course, he's no master of acting at this point... but I don't cringe as much as I did. And I've seen people in Bold... I won't even have to name names, because everyone knows who they are... who are becoming even worse than what they were offering in the first place. So... I'm happy that in BTG... people are actually blossoming and improving. It surely means that the atmosphere is creative and nurturing talent.  BUT and it's a big butt... his relationship with his husband is still so lacking and ghastly. I am craving to see more action from these guys. I want to see Smitty's character. If he has any.

      I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.

      For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.
