General Hospital: November 2023 Discussion Thread

Since she also has some problems with absenteeism I think they could make a case for her own health & well-being that she needs to stop trying to work & instead get completely well & then they'll see about writing her back in. 

And in the US there have been instances where actresses have been told to lose weight.

It's not even like Maxie/KS are super big or that large. She seems normal or on the lower end of plus size.  But we are being bamboozled by GH to think it's all fine and good.  Nothing wrong with her size but her clothes are an absolute disaster.  They wouldn't dress Liz or Sam like this.

I agree.  Or find an actress that is willing to dress appropriately.  Again, I may be totally out of line, but most workplaces have dress codes or uniforms.  I don't know why wardrobe can't give KS a few options that are workable and let her pick.  Most woman in the world are closer to Maxie's size than Sam's and manage to dress themselves.  I get that she's on tv and it's a different set of standards but she is actively making herself look worse.

Maxie just needs a break in general.  She used to be a fun, quirky character that was enjoyable and now she's a chore to watch.

And blazers are a thing today. So the show would be able to get plenty & in different colors, etc. And, the Costume guy would love that since like I said Genie just likes her black blazer & Richard at DAYS gets to have all the fun with Dee & her many (blazer) colors. GH would love to put Maxie in many blazers!! This could be a fan campaign.

Yup.  It's the loose fitting blouses she wears that are unflattering.  Shapeless garments make her look bigger than she is.  KS probably doesn't want to define her shape, but it would help.  She looks like a big piece of voluminous fabric with legs some days.  But I feel tacky making fun of her at this point.  I think everyone understands what I am trying to say with this.

I don't know what to say.  I started this conversation so I'll finish it.  KS isn't fat.  Nothing about her physically is wrong.  The dressing choices are bad.  The end. Her "huge" butt isn't the problem at all.  I have apparently circled back on my entire rant because fat shaming for no reason is just mean.  I am top heavy with skinny legs.  I was just saying it really matters how you style yourself because it's not the easiest body to style.

I have worked in high end fashion my entire life so I am not just talking at random about this.

    • I really have no problem with Kai as a character or with the actor. The problem is putting together two very nice people -- Kai and Trina. Neither of them has a bad side, neither of them has a devil on the shoulder, neither of them is impulsive. I think that's a problem in a soap relationship. Yeah, I agree. All this freaking out might make sense if Lulu wanted to do a tabloid expose on BLQ's LOVE CHILD. We have no indication that's the case.  
    • So Sonni would have somebody to talk to who she wasn't conspiring with (Will or Alan)? Alex kept telling Sonni how important her friends were...when she had virtually no friends. Instead they created loyal servants like Jane and Vera to give Alex people to play off of. They did that with Iris on AW, but Vivien was mostly there for comic relief Alex keeping Marah's paternity a secret was absurd. But I still love the scene between Alex and Alan where he convinces her by reminding her how they protected each other from their abusive father. Chris and Bev ATE that scene. Unfortunately, that took place only a few months before he exited the show...always thought they could have built on that, explored more how being Brandon's children screwed them both up. Maybe even used it as an explanation for the way their relationship could constantly swing from hatred to love. Instead of it being merely dictated by the plot.
    • The first one is Cass Winthrop dressed as Krystle Lake on Another World (not from his original creation of the character to hide from the loan shark Tony the Tuna, but at a romance convention trying to find out what had happened to Felicia who was missing). The second one is also Another World, Jake McKinnon as Doris although I don't recall what his purpose was.
    • I know there was one brief scene in the summer of 1989 where Lillian did mention Calla.. but in relation to her past relationship to Ross and it was to Roger while he was a patient at Cedars.  I think he was trying to pump her for information on Ross.. and for some reason, Calla's name came up.   I could see perhaps Beth mentioning that her mother Lillian was visiting Calla.. but not exactly giving any sort of details as to the going ons in Calla's life off screen.

    • They're neither great nor terrible AFAIK, but it is more a question of the streaming numbers in this day and age vs. actual TV airings. The Chibnall era reminded me much more of the crisis years, but I do think it's a very real possibility now as well due to the streaming bubble collapse affecting the show and its prospects.
    • ANYTHING to get her off the screen..she COULD have been interesting if she and Van had a few face offs..(there was a mild one of her going back to work...but I wanted something meatier "Bitch, I am Vanessa Chamberlain and I don't take advice from someone who followed the..career path you did!" I did like Alex's outright disdain for her.
    • Thanks @Vee for the commentary.    I haven’t even watched this season yet after  I couldn’t get past the couple episodes last season…like it was too Disneyified for my taste, although I did think it was a least better than the Chibnall era (but so is a lot of things). I’ll probably go back and binge it now. Hoping this season ends on a high note. I did read the ratings are terrible. As it stands I’m beginning to feel like what long time DW fans felt with S26 in 1989.
    • Yes, they are all on contract. Next.
