GH: February 2024 Discussion Thread

I feel for Eden McCoy; returns after taking time off for her mother's passing, and she's been in non-stop emotion heavy scenes. The poor girl. But she and Laura Wright have palpable chemistry as daughter and mother! But, I am praying Patrick Mulcahey ends this Marshall torture, 'cause I am not into it at all.

But the "images" they use are hilarious, haha.

Yeah… are they doubling down on the prop writing with this ‘Vigilante taking out all the organized crime figures’ storyline? 

I’d love this storyline if they end up killing Cyrus

Well...where do I begin?

 

SPRINA. I thought it was a nice build-up to the confrontation. Sprina in Paris. Sprina making love. Spencer in those boxers. And then...here comes Esme. I loved that Trina got a lick in. And then I was disappointed that the next episode was not an immediate follow-up. But I have been enjoying the aftermath so far. And Cam came back. Awwww. And I like the spotlight has been on Trina and her survivor guilt. At least she has Ava. Speaking of side note...I've been enjoying Sonny/Ava as co-parents. I never thought they would EVER get along as they have.

 

JAGGER...I MEAN JOHN...RETURN. Such a mixed bag. I will give them this much. That had nice build up, too. That it ties into Curtis's shooting has been nice and has become bigger. And his semi-gradual intro with Leo was cute. But then they started to shove him down people's throats. And after such a build to his first seeing Sonny I felt was ruined by MB so looking off camera for the majority of the meeting and having Sonny so checked out. And don't get me started on the recasting.

 

DEX. Well at least they remembered that Brick did a background check on him. But...Dex? DEX??? They really setting him up to be after Sonny all along? Wow. I find him too...just no. Implausible.

 

MARTIN/LUCY/SCOTT. That was soooo much mess. But that was good mess. But I guess it's because I love me sum Lucy. And her mixing it up with Tracy over Deception has been fun to watch so I liked Tracy got some payback. And Lucy has always been her own worst enemy and this was so true here. Will she get Martin back? Go back to Scott? Time will tell.

 

NINA V CARLY. I'm always here for them mixing it up. The only false notes have been Carly wanting to whine. I be like...how can you whine when you taunted her knowing how that would go down. Have some seats. The other false note is just all the stuff with Jake. Heck, I feel like they are going to hate sex before any kinda of vengeance between him. Not much of a threat to me. Especially given Nina's history. Oh and loved the Carly/BLQ team-up. 

 

LOIS. Still love.

On this you are correct. I've said before that Selina Wu has one expression and one tone of voice. She is a dayplayer fans glommed onto and as far as I've seen has no real range.

I am all for the return of the Asian Quarter, more AAPI characters and an Asian mob queen - I just have never seen Selina as having much dynamism whatsoever. She slinks into every scene and always acts and sounds the same to me. But I'm in the minority.

Surprise, surprise. The whore who hates Sonny with a passion is going to somebody who worked for Sonny for help

As for Ms. Wu, they need to do a lot more with her. That stuff with Marshall and the club was stupid and Idk about this current storyline yet either.

At this point, I'm just grinning through storylines until Patrick Mulcahey & Elizabeth Korte's material debuts.

Asian Quarter needs to return, ASAP! I'd love to see more things outside of the usual spots in Port Charles.

Busy living her life, probably. Her last-known credit was Hit-Monkey in 2021 (voice role).

That Crimson cover is hideous... and why it that suddenly Nina works for The Invader she's always having her hair up????

She has barely aged since 1993, judging by her pix at the OLTL reunion a few years ago.

Since it'll never, ever happen but I like to keep a few cards close to the vest I'll simply say that my pet OLTL 3.0 idea was to give Korf a strong supporting role in Blair's corner as a fun character who shared a past and at times an identity with Kassie's Blair (so as to nod to the obvious issue with the two actors), and using her would in turn help to bring on a new AA family. Looking at the eps available online now it is insane how strong MK's role on the show was in 1992, how unprecedented it was for an Asian lead, and how nuts it is that (to my recollection, anyway) there has not been anywhere near as prominent an Asian lead on any American soap opera since. Shameful.

As for GH: Yes, they could recast Selina with Mia Korf and I wouldn't flinch lol. But yes, I am also only tuning in on the regular atm in search of signs of ghostwriting from the new writers. It has been an ordeal.

Yeah; just did a Google search, and she looks stunning. Shame she didn't do more daytime after she was slighted. #TheBetterBlair ha.

As far as we've come in daytime... we've also regressed in a lot of ways, as well. I forget who the doctor was... but wasn't their an Asian doctor on General Hospital for many years that would pop-up when an OBGYN was needed?

As for Lydia Look as Selina Wu... I get the gripes many have with her, but I do enjoy her in the role and wouldn't wish her recast.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
