Cameron Mathison HAD cancer, but his recent weight loss, has me concerned that maybe it's come back and the actor just hasn't disclosed it.   I do think he is looking unhealthy.  I hope I'm wrong.  I do think Cameron worked as Drew at first, but either Cam or GH decided to have him be Ryan Lavery, and now I cannot stand him.  I wish for Billy Miller back to be honest.   There are too many holier-than-thou people on GH, Carly, Olivia (makes no sense in having Olivia who's known Sonny most of their lives, call Carly her best friend, and chose Carly for awhile even over Ned --- HER HUSBAND (who should've dropped her long ago, Lois please get Ned Back and GH axe Olivia!!), Michael, Wallow (Brainwashed by Carly and Michael LOL), Joss (somehow even more judgemental than Carly!), Diane (wish Esme or Heather had killed her), Drew, Finn, Gregory, and Chase, I think there are even more LOL.

Sonny advising Drew how to survive in prison was preposterous. Sonny has a panic attack any time he sees someone in an orange jumpsuit, he's hardly an expert on the subject.

Which may be why Drew made the type of mistake one could see from a mile away by taking anything from Cyrus (are there no surveillance cameras in this prison?).  And how does he not know Cyrus, who just terrorized Spencer a few months ago?  Also, did they need to write in the judge thing so we wouldn't question why a white collar criminal is in the same prison are murders and drug traffickers?  Because somehow Heather Webber's lounging in a country club jail as a serial killer, while Drew's doing hard time. 

Also, Carly lost 5 million dollars?  I wonder if they'll follow up on that detail, or just pretend like Carly's got good credit and move on.

#GH Mon. 7-3

Kind of funny having such a very long scene with Carly & Sam. The whole episode seemed long to me.

Gladys just barely made it through the cover story Miz Wu created. I did love Sasha, though, while Gladys was going on & on, interminably, her facial expressions were giving a Master Class!!

Drewfus, at Sonny's just to take a guitar to NEddie? Contrived scene. And why has Cam lost so much weight?!

Thank god, TJ has progress with Willow!

Since when is benzo a mild sedative?! I'm so tired of them doing things to poor Sasha. I don't watch soaps to see God cursing Job!

Pentonville & Cyrus, just creepy.

Not a great day. A'tall.

You haven’t missed anything importance. Willow is still dying for god’s  sake.

And now they are destroying Trina and Spencer before they even got started. All in an effort to keep Esme around? Who is a far less interesting character now that she has amnesia. She’s not a good person or bad person, she’s just there. 
 

And let me not get started on demonizing Nina for turning in criminals. And all of the fun they have sucked out of Ned’s amnesia plot because every scene on this show has to be seeping with gravitas. Every single scene is treated is if you don’t watch the next one you will miss the biggest revelation in the history daytime. It’s an extremely annoying editing trick.

Ava and Austin slept together, which was a foregone conclusion as soon as they started sharing scenes together and they are NOT interesting! Austin is a non-character! Roger Howarth, god bless him, is trying to make something out of literally nothing. And you have poor Maura West giving 1000% to spinning wheels.

Gregory is probably one of the most insufferable characters I’ve ever seen. He claims to be a good person but is on the verge of cursing out Alexis or Tracy at all times. I really hate watching scenes with him and these women who I have loved watching for nearly 30 years get “put in their place” by this founding father. Get off the show and go to hell and take your boring sons with you. 

Speaking of one of his dull as dishwater children, how many more months do we have to suffer through Finn and Elizabeth having anti-chemistry? I hate to read too much into an actor’s performance but Rebecca Herbst looks like she’s in physical pain when she has to share scenes even hinting at a romance with this man. And Michael Easton‘s puppy dog thing is wholly unattractive, it just makes him look pathetic. This woman almost actively avoids you yet there you always are pleading with your eyes “do I still have a chance Lizzie?”.

I really did not expect to go on that rant but the show is an absolute mess right now.

Re-visiting the chemistry between Roger Howarth & Maura West, to me, is too little too late for me.  It's something they really should have tempted more of when Howarth was Franco.  At this point, they're re-doing what they did with Howarth & Laura Wright: re-testing chemistry with Howarth in another role.  And, much like Carly & Todd, this pairing simply does not work.  I will say: at least Howarth shows up with West (unlike her former co-star).  But, you have West, who EXUDES f**king chemistry with a damn set prop, and you just provide her with... Dr. G.H.?  No thank you.  Austin & Britt is what should have happened.  It was right there.

Can I be honest...?  I have not seen even one female co-star have chemistry with Michael Easton.  Not ONE.  In any role, in any soap.  The only ones close were Rebecca Budig & West, and that's because both put in the work to establish that.  It's clear, to me, Rebecca Herbst is checked TF out.  Know who I'd actually like to see chem-tested at some point?  Herbst & Josh Kelly.  Controversial, yes, but Kelly reminds me of Billy Miller's Jason, and I liked what they did temporarily have.  But TPTB really need to take the L with Easton as Finn, and cut their losses.  Have Budig reprise the role of Hayden for a limited-episode guest run, have Finn take Violet, and get TF out of town... after Daddy Chase dies, of course.  And by Daddy Chase, I mean Gregory Harrison (who should have been cast as Jeff Webber).

July 1st, 2022, a year ago, posts about that days' soaps just came up for me. Willow, I kid you not, it was the first time she fainted. A whole year's gone by with this atrociously done leukemia storyline. 

 

Everything they've done since Laura & Kevin left them alone in the apartment has just screamed wrong to me!

NEddie, I just don't think they've thought it out & I hate that plaid flannel shirt. And they must not be planning to bring Rena in because they didn't have her in the studio yet & they're off all month now. No Lois = mistake. 

About Gregory, Finn & Austin & Austin's awful cousin Mason, agree 100%. I want them off the show. I feel sorry for NLG, for Maura & most of all for Becky who has put up with this guy for 2 years.

    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant. 
    • Michael Logan is being disingenuous. He knows who's to blame in these situations. Not only does he know how daytime works, but he also wrote about all the BTS shenanigans at the P&G soaps leading up to the Justine story. I will give Victoria Wyndham this: she went all out in the performance. She didn't half ass the performance. Let's also not forget that it was Michael Logan who was publicly calling for the firing of JFP when she on GL but says nothing about that in this interview or in the articles. My guess is that someone at AW didn't like Wyndham and was giving Logan the gossip and he was writing his column with that tea.
    • Basic script work; if it hadn't been for Jane Elliot and Rena Sofer, it could've been for any random character.
    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
