GH: March 2024 Discussion Thread

Seems to me his being someone's son is some kind of group mind wish fulfillment. Since all Sexy Dexy does is have sex, strike poses, get new hairstyle, perhaps we can psychoanalyze this fan wish fulfillment. As armchair Dr. Marlena Evans, the only choice for shrink to the soaps, we'd just say fans want him to be more substantial.

I could let it slide, but Jagger made a big old deal about Leo and comparing him to his autistic son.  He did say he was doing well and living on his own, but I don't know if that means two tours in the war good lol.  It doesn't mean it can't happen, but if I recall Stone's autism as a child was fairly severe.   I really don't know enough about autism to know if it's realistic to manage it as an adult as well as it appears Dex has.

I tend to agree.  The only reason I think Dex might stick around longer is because of Joss.

I don't believe it would be credible for someone to be severely autistic in childhood & be somehow incredibly high functioning as an adult. But, my knowledge is only anecdotal. My college roommate has an adult son who was & still is severely autistic & he lives happily in a group home & spends weekends with them. The military would've been out of question for him &  he can't work at a regular job.

The military thing is probably what throws me the most if Dex was Stone.  I don't think it's out of the realm of possibility, but I think it might be insulting to backpedal on the autism so much.  But I am no expert and don't want to speak about things I don't really know much about.

If we had to make Dex Jagger's son I would probably just make him some long lost son he didn't know about or something.  I am not advocating more story for Dex to be clear though!

Yup!  And no one will be sad about it.

Well, the one thing I can say about CM is he does manage to find work all the time.

    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
