Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Yeah, it is WAY effing wild! I'm sure it is part of the reason that Genie would speak up & say that she's sick of talking about it. But you make a good point that they do keep these twisty-turny plot events sorted out. I do not know how sometimes but ya gotta love em for it. Loved all of this about the wedding! The Costume Designer said he took a chance with the dress for Brooke & boy was it ever a success! He said the dress is a bias cut slip dress designed to show off curves. That it did! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) The Nikolas reveal and its timeline were meticulously plotted out. The scenes where Laura tells Luke all about exactly where, how and when she learned her mother was 'dead' in the '80s and that it had been attributed to the Cassadines to silence her re: her other son were intricately done.

Members Forever8 Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Maybe it's just my mind playing tricks on me but weren't Taggert/Portia/Trina living in Portland, Oregon during that time? Or somewhere on the other side of the country? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 They may have mentioned that more recently, I wouldn't know. My best recollection of Taggert's (offscreen) exit in the 2000s was Scott or someone saying he'd been reassigned to Alaska or something after being the squeaky wheel against Sonny and Jason (and maybe sticking it to Scott's corruption) once too often. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 I remember him being reassigned to Alaska initially too lol. Claire Walsh got assigned there too after helping Sonny with some case as well lol. He could have ended up in Portland eventually though. Did anyone ever mention what happened to Taggert's partner Garcia? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Planet Soap Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 (edited) One way to avoid these dense offscreen backstories for every new charachter is to stop trying to tie them to the existing canvas. Sometimes making them related to someone works. Best example: Carly. However her backstory was relatively simple: Bobbie is my mother who gave me up for adoption, I'm hiding my identity by using my best friend's name. Everything else that made today's charachter played out onscreen. I don't mind tying Trina to Taggert especially because GH lacks a black family let alone any family of color. In other cases like Franco, it becomes confusing. I know this is a soap but GH has had way too many paternity/maternity reveals and switches going on in the Frank era. We have Esme and Willow's parental histories playing out simultaneously. Sometimes the confusion further compounds when writers RETCON what happened offscreen.

Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Great points! Right now, you've listed Trina, where this thread began, Esme, Willow, and there's even one more Cody Bell! FOUR! Right now. It's kind of ridiculous. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 19, 2023 Members Share Posted February 19, 2023 Again, paternity/maternity crap is one of the only stories easily greenlit these days. And they're almost always boring now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Darn Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 Okay the shot of her having to stand on her tippy toes while wearing six inches to kiss him is making me, a grown ass man, kinda melt. Yeah, that was well done and I'm just grateful it actually happened. @Vee almost had me!!! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted February 20, 2023 Members Share Posted February 20, 2023 (edited) SPRINA!!!! And the fact that it took place in the same place that they first met makes it even sweeter.
