General Hospital: July 2023 Discussion Thread

I do not disagree. Again, pure fantasy but there would need to be characters leaving.  And Finn, his dad, and Austin would all be early exits. It truly is not personal- I have liked both OLTL actors in other roles. But Finn and Austin do not work and they have tried so hard to prop them up.

When the role of TJ was announced, I had some hope it would be Tommy Jnr, but it wasn't.  But it still is not too late for him to show up.  I'd love Tom and Simone on recurring/full-time, too.  I miss the Hardy representation, honestly.

I hate to say it... but that's due, in part, to Ron Carlivati playing favouritism to those characters he still wanted to write for. I just think there's opportunity more for Pine Valley residents in Pine Valley than there was for Llanview residents, especially given the Anna/Mac connection.  Jack coming in is opening the door, thankfully.

This alone proves the hospital staff needs someone strong, and it's lacking that.

I'd only welcome Project Orpheus if we got some Quartermaines back!

It was truly odd to introduce a Black youth named T.J. on GH who is not Tom Hardy Jr., but I digress. I would bring Thomas/Tom Jr. back as a doctor on the frontburner. I have no particular investment in T.J. because they haven't bothered to write for him since Tequan Richmond. Tajh Bellow is not untalented, but the character feels like a spent shell to me - same as Molly, same as Kristina in some ways, same reason Michael and Maxie should be gone for a number of years. I would also have Gina Tognoni as Sarah Webber, a major surgeon and seemingly happy mother/wife/career woman who Liz chafes in the shadow of. And of course the troublesome Jeff and Carolyn would return (both recast again). The hospital would resume being a major hub.

I've said before that I would bring on Angie as a guest doctor for an arc re: abortion with Portia in the lead role as the physician bucking a local law, but it would only be a brief appearance with her backing Portia up and Debbi Morgan getting to deliver the message to the audience in her inimitable way. The show doesn't need to be repopulated by even more characters from other soaps. (And yes, there would be an Ellen Burgess mention) David Hayward is another story, that's an opportunity where I might seriously consider having him recur and come in and out and make trouble from time to time (though I'd probably say he's still happily married to Cara with their son, while maybe teasing the Anna thing).

Why doesn't Carly just ask Jax or Sonny for a loan?  I obviously don't expect her to get a job like a real person, but if she doesn't want to take money from Sonny I am sure Jax would help.  Someone pays for Joss's college and apartment she is getting off campus so I assume it's Jax.

That's why this is so empty for me. She's got a number of people she can ask for help. And it's not like the government expects the fine in one lump sum, she's not going to be destitute.  

She's going from ultra wealthy to just wealthy. Poor dumb Caroline. Cry for her!

It's so silly.  Multiple people would bail her out and she also could go out and get a job.  At Deception or even the Metro Court (I am sure Olivia would force Nina to hire her).  She literally has experience at both those places.  And since I assume there is no mortgage on the house and she gets child support from Sonny for Donna how much could her expenses be?  Lol.  I don't feel sorry for her at all for having to move herself and young daughter out of a mansion and into a nice condo.

Also, why were the Davis girls in an empty nail salon today?  Were they doing their own nails?  No extras to be nail techs today?  And HMK continues to be completely unnatural as Molly.

Diane told her specifically not to involve either Sonny or Michael in the money end of things at this time because it would cause the Feds to look deeper which we don't want them to do. 

Meanwhile I think Frank waited too long to bring permanent NuMolly on. Between having NuKristina & Temp Molly & then NuMolly & their doing a bad job of writing Molly's endometrisus realistically, I'm afraid they're gonna lose this story.

So why couldn't Carly ask Jax?  Or her mother?  As @Darn said, it's not like Carly needs to pay it all in one lump sum lol.  I am sure there is a way for her to get a few loans.  

Is there any evidence there is a NuMolly?  Last I saw HMK's stint was just made longer through the summer.

ZERO evidence. Mia Kriegel is still in the role.

Ummm... it's the same actress who was brought in as a temp.  I don't know where you got that the role was recast again, because it was not.  Also... it's endometriosis.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
