GH: December 2023 Discussion Thread

It was reported that NAC would be gone from the show for two months. It appears now that Spencer is going to Paris with Trina. Trina is going to spend a semester at the Sorbonne. I don't like Spencer and Trina, so if both of them vanish for two months I would be fine with that.

OK So Apart From Anna Slapping Valentin, There Were ANY other Slaps On GH this year? 

I was very fortunate a friend gave Me access to his personal collection, and managed to watch some this year, so I wanna do a Slaps Retrospective for this CRAZY YEAR, and include all that I can!

Friday's highlight was the Esme & Heather scenes.  Touching mother-daughter reunion in prison!  I was surprised by the good advice Heather gave, almost like the mom from The Wonder Years would give.

  Esme being the troubled, lead female of that generation is what GH deserves.  I hope they don't go over-the-top and prematurely burn off the character when she's got so much potential for so many years of mayhem and drama.

Carly's new year's eve dress to the club was frumpy (or just mundane, if I'm being charitable).

I meant to post this earlier, but I was watching Thursday's episode and why aren't they giving Rena/Lois anything to do?  All she does is talk to Olivia. We are told Olivia/Lois were bff since they were kids, but I have literally no investment in this friendship.  Can't she have interactions with the rest of the town?

Lois has been written like a cartoon. You'd think on Thursday's show, they'd finally let her get real and say that yeah, she did have a problem with her best friend marrying her ex-husband. Then maybe her and Olivia could have had a deep conversation for once, but nope. Very disappointing.

I don't even know if I think Lois has been written like a cartoon.  Lois is just written boringly.  It's as if she has no life or agency of her own.  She is only on the show to react to other people's issues.  I absolutely agree she should have feelings about Olivia marrying her ex-husband, but I would also like to know what she's been doing the last 25 years.   I hate when shows basically put characters on pause in their lives.  It's as if Lois has just been hanging out in Bensonhurst for the last few decades doing nothing of note.  I also don't know why Lois can't interact with non-Quatermaines.  Why doesn't she have scenes with Carly, Sonny, Nina, even Ava?   I know a lot of the cast she interacted with is long gone, but it seems like a waste to have her hanging out in the Q's kitchen for 2 months.

Yes, I enjoyed those Sonny/Lois scenes, but I don't understand why there aren't more.  Sonny actually spends days lurking around the Metro Court and the hospital-he can't have a few scenes with Lois?  Wouldn't it be interesting if Lois took a liking to Nina and bonded with her before she finds out she turned Carly/Drew in?  Speaking of Carly, Lois seemed to be TeamCarly yesterday, but are they friends or friendly*?  You could introduce Lois to a whole new set of characters around town and create new relationships, but she's just not doing anything except drinking wine at the Q's.

*Lois should not be friends with Carly just because of her longstanding bff status with Brenda, but since Brenda currently doesn't exist and Olivia is her bff now I'll allow a Carly/Lois friendship.

I feel bad because Hulu put up yesterday's episode late and I watched it this morning and it does appear Lois is actually going to do something lol.  I hope she does tell Sonny because she should.  Lois really has no strong ties to anyone involved with this mess except Sonny so it makes sense.  Perhaps that is the reason the show has kept Lois on an island.  I still think it has been a waste of Rena's talents, but if she ends this boring SEC story I will keep my mouth shut.

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
