GH: January 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

Sage romantic advice from Sonny is my favorite type of advice.  Why wouldn't you listen to this 10 times married man with a bunch of random children?  

[Contessa Donatella]

Remember the May Sweeps show where Brando & Sonny changed the spark plugs on a classic car? They did it together. What a bromance! 

[Vee]

There will be a cartoon tumbleweed in Cameron's space onscreen very shortly.

If it was me Steve would never be allowed back on-set after what he did but it was inevitable.

What did he do (besides refuse to get vaxxed)?

[Vee]

Simply that. He wouldn't get vaxxed, wouldn't comply with the mandate at the network and put the cast and crew at risk. For me that is a termination offense. Same as the rumors (hopefully unfounded) that Lindsay Hartley's first run as Sam in 2020(?) came about because Kelly wouldn't mask up. I very much hope the latter is just a nasty rumor, but I would've killed both their contracts for that and you would never have seen either character again.

 plus, Burton has been less than clean at his comedy shows with Bradford Anderson, and that's a major turn-off for me. But if the Monaco thing is true, then that's shameful, but we all know Disney-ABC don't give two s**ts about daytime, otherwise, a certain cast member would've been fired during their transphobic rant, their terroristic behaviour, etc. in the same immediate regard Roseanne Barr was.

I am not going to lie.  I barely remember Brando.  I can't even picture him at all.

I don't disagree.  You know Steve just took the Days cash grab until things "cooled" down on GH.  He wasn't outspoken in the way Ingo was and I think he just hoped people would forget.  He was always playing the long game here.  Leave on principle and just wait to be re-hired.

He refused a company mandate to get vaxxed.  That's pretty bad.  Especially when swapping spit with costars.  

Can you elaborate?  I haven't heard this.

[Liberty City]

He has made some less-than-favourable "jokes" in regards to the stereotypes of POC / Kool-Aid / watermelon, etc. among other things. I remember hearing it a few years back.

[carolineg]

Eww..that seems pretty on brand for him.  What happened with Monaco? 

[Liberty City]

What Vee said: being unmasked on-set.

[carolineg]

Got it.  I was reading it as Steve did something to Kelly-not that she was the issue.

Don't you think NLG would have blasted Kelly for that though?

 Who knows; she didn't blast Haley Pullos for being an idiot behind-the-wheel did she? She protects the "Davis girls."

[carolineg]

Yeah, very fair point.  

I was thinking NLG would be on top of an adult woman like Kelly having poor behavior.  And not that HP is a child, but I can see her being more lenient of someone she's know since she was a kid.  Not defending Haley at all, but NLG was real quick to call the non-mandators out on social media.   Anyhow, hope it's not true about Kemo.  I already hate her Sam anyway lol.

I think you are the only one brave enough to cut Ava.......and I don't disagree.   I think she's run her course, but she has so many fans I feel stupid suggesting it.
