GH: February 2024 Discussion Thread

[Vee]

IIRC we knew she had a short contract when she debuted. This isn't surprising, though I did think the initial contract was already over.

[John]

Well yeah it was 30 episodes. I think she hit 30 sometime in January 2024 on screen

[Liberty City]

Mhmm; it was just my hope they had changed their mind and extended, but due to lack of males..... I guess it did not.

[John]

Maybe she didnt want a contract. GH tends to use its recurring characters well. 

[Vee]

I don't think it means she won't continue to appear. But we'll see.

[Liberty City]

Oh, I never stated or believed she'd cease to appear. At all. LOL.

[dragonflies]

They've wasted Lois, honestly I hope RS cuts and runs TBH

[John]

Well Rena has enjoyed it so far & with Patrick Mulcahey who wrote for her at B&B coming in, i bet she is happy

[dragonflies]

We're assuming Valentini isn't going interfere? lol 

[Liberty City]

The interim team did relatively well but it's clear CVE & DO'C could give two-you know whats about her.

[John]

Well from seeing interviews with PM and how seious he takes his writing I wouldnt be shocked if he has some perks at GH

Yeah the strike writers were good to Lois

[Contessa Donatella]

Exactly!!! When GH & Rena discovered they loved working together she & Frank mutually agreed upon an open-ended arrangement. It may be that she'd rather not be tied to a contract. And, the way they use her, they don't need one. So both sides are content. Although I would've said GH rather than ABC, or Disney. I'm not too sure how engaged either ABC or Disney is with their one soap. I suspect that as long as it continues to do about the same they will just be passive towards it. I do know that Disney borrowed classic wedding wardrobe for an event & when they came back Lucy's red hat was missing. Now you know that hat is in some Disney employee's house!!!

Kraze!

I do like that GH picking up the pace with this relationship and with other storylines, unlike what they used to do #Sprina

Makes you wonder if Mulcahey/Korte have started to influence the scripts already

[Vee]

I do suspect they have tweaked some scenes, as we've discussed. But there's nothing that has straight-up jumped out at me so far in the way it did when Guza ghostwrote upon his returns, or when Malone and Griffith began ghostwriting at OLTL in January '03.

Pretty sure they have, or at least Korte has!

Well, if AfterBuzz is to be believed, Korte stepped in while discussions were had for permanent replacements.
