GH: February 2024 Discussion Thread

Poor TJ.  Molly/TJ were finally going to get a story and Haley Pullos had to mess it all up.

As far as DT, I agree there were missed opportunities in the past for his character and chemistry was ignored to pair him with a Black actress.  I don't think he's underutilized now.  In fact, he's over utilized IMO.  I honestly don't think DT and BK have much chemistry though, but there are many white couples on the show that have no chemistry too.  I hope the new regime will take that into account.

Exactly. Curtis is given the lion's share of story despite the fact that he's the least dynamic character and actor.

If Mulcahey has any power and if MVJ is truly back, my desperate hope against hope is we'll finally see a real Ward revival on the canvas. I remember JFP and Guza patting themselves on the back in the soap press over adding Annie Ilonzeh as Maya (and promising over and over to add her sister Zoe, which never happened) only to do nothing with her and to let her dip for a primetime gig and fizzle out for months. Imagine Steve Burton's (admittedly very weathered) face if they brought back Keesha.

Totally agree about it being a diss to Brook Kerr who the show sorta considers a queen or a princess or something like that. 

[Aragorn]

I would like to start over with a recast. Coming back to life Spencer should have a new face.

[dragonflies]

lol even Maura West has gone on twitter confirming that the baby wasn't cut from Ava's womb lol

[Contessa Donatella]

Well, they are definitely thinking in terms of the next Spencer. Just a matter of when they will make that move. 

[Beachstorm]

Totally agree. They need a new Spencer. NAC just wasn't working for me once he got so high and mighty. All his scenes became Emmy reels. The overacting and fast talking was just too much. Trina needs a different Spencer when he comes back. And please don't cast for someone who is over 6' tall.

Of course! We all saw the turtle dove figurine laying in the water. RME

[Vee]

How is NAC acting 'high and mighty' lol. Specifics.

[janea4old]

In my opinion, there doesn't need to be any rule that male or female actors should be taller/shorter than the actors who portray their romantic partners; and there doesn't need to be any rule about how much any height difference should be.

I like that actors in pairings sometimes have unconventional differences in height.  It's more relatable to real life.
 

[Contessa Donatella]

Nice of them to leave us that clue that this was only temporarily dead!

Totally realistic & the way it should be. 

[dragonflies]

LMAO he's not, this person is reaching, I mean really reaching. NAC is one THE best actor's on GH

[Aragorn]

Was NAC aware that they were firing the writers? Would he like to work with the new writers, or would the new writing regime discourage him from coming back?

[Vee]

People keep trying to 'subtly' intimate around this online and I have seen zero credible information. Just say 'I just don't like Spencer' (or Spencer and Trina, or their fans or whatever your poison may be) and go.

[dragonflies]

Yep it's just another way to say they hate that actor/character. NAC is one of the sweetest people and his father even posts on twitter and interacts with the fans, both seem really sweet

[Contessa Donatella]

He certainly would not be the first or the last incredibly talented & good-looking young person with a vocal, active fan base, to develop an ego & an attitude & to want to jump ship & leave long before their contract date & well before they ever booked a second gig. Some people will see this while others may not. It's an old story. 

I imagine it is 99.99% sure that he had no knowledge of anything going on at the show. He would have no reason or rationale to not want to work with new writers.
