General Hospital: January 2023 Discussion Thread

[Darn]

Drew, Michael and Willow have all forgiven Carly in a week's time for a secret she kept for a year. No consequences except from someone who already hates her, Nina. Teflon Carly.

[Taoboi]

Well hopefully Nina gets a good slap in on Carly at least.

Those visceral screams send shivers down my spine.

Man, if you could extract her performance from her character's (and Willow's) mess of a history this would be so much more compelling.

[Vee]

If they'd brought her on as a fresh character (a Quartermaine cousin, anything) she could have so much more longevity and carry a lot. As it is I will never really care about Nina or her useless secret children even though I love Cynthia Watros' performances. I remember how much of an apeshit lunatic Nina came onto this show as before the recast, I remember her tormenting Ava. I don't buy most of her functional relationships. I buy Watros' performances, but that's a whole different thing. Ultimately it's a lead balloon. But will Watros get a second or third character like Howarth or Easton? Nope. (Not that any of them should, frankly.)

48 hours in PC time to be exact. Meanwhile Nina has had to endure (and still is) months of people chastising her over her choice to keep Sonny being alive a secret.

Makes me wonder if all the Carly stans defending this writing choice are as morally bankrupt irl as she is.

ABC Soap(s) have always had "baby fever" GH is the worst offender about it. YR is probably 2nd.

It absolutely feels like that.

[ranger1rg]

So true. I never gave an ish less about a character. I do not care if she lives or dies, and as good as CW is, her shrieks and cries don't make me feel anything for Willow....or Michael, for that matter. It's all deadly boring.

Also boring? Victor and the ENDLESS story of Victor that goes nowhere as the writers slap layer upon layer on a story they're making up as they go along.

Yeeeeah I'm not looking forward to either.

 

 

[j swift]

I enjoy the actors in their scenes, but it makes no sense that Ava and Nina are now friends

[janea4old]

Yeah I know,  when Ava was very pregnant with Avery, Nina kidnapped her and did something horrific to force her into labor and then stole the baby.  It was like something from ancient myths and very creepy.

[Taoboi]

I feel that. When I came back to regularly viewing, I was just as shocked since I stopped around 2014/5. 

[Vee]

Let alone that Sonny and Ava are friendly too via Nina. I saw the three of them sharing chummy scenes together and thought I was in Bizarro World. Avery or no Avery, I can't see it. And I've never forgotten the scenes with Stafford's Nina tormenting Ava in labor.

It looked like a very personal, physical violation. I was a bit nauseous watching it.
