GH: March 2024 Discussion Thread

Hudson West (Jake) can be consistently very good and has been since he was a child, but I think he's also sometimes dependent on scene partners. The kid playing Danny is extremely green and the smiling bystander known as Aiden should not be on camera. I thought HW did alright, but I don't think it was anyone's best hour.

We are so merciless on these poor young actors, lol.

I, myself, tend to be like the late Sam Hall.  I get very annoyed whenever I see an infant or toddler on TV who is clearly looking straight at the camera or up at the lights.

That's all we can really ask for.  I'm not expecting Steve Burton to turn into Larry Bryggman.  I just want him to try.  Give the new writing team something to work with!

As someone who always wanted more of the Burton/Brown era Jason and Carly, at least until it became clear how virulently Burton disagreed, their current relationship is so bittersweet to try to watch. 

I saw the scene where Anna was telling Jason about Britt. I can't claim I was a Britt fan (I barely saw her last years on the show anyway) but it was a touch you don't get very often now on soaps. I especially liked Anna politely saying those weren't her experiences with Britt.

The whole Jason's harem aspect has long been one of the most draining aspects of his tenure. The show doesn't seem to be playing into it yet, which has gotten some backlash from certain fan groups (like Liz/Jason fans), but I'm sure we'll get a lot more soon enough. 

I was never that into Liz either, but I can see why her fans would be unhappy at her being stuck with Easton or Howarth year in and year out.

I've finally capitulated. I was just a Carly fan hanging out with some Jarly fans. Now I've become Jarlyfied. Also I stopped resisting Chrome (Corinthos + Jerome). I still have no idea what Ava is up to but I'm going to relax & watch it happen.

Spoiler

I was specifically told that Ava & Sonny would not have sex in March. I'm aware of the calendar.

I am so effing glad someone said this. The Holly Gagnier School of Acting should be invoked immediately…wait, I take that back.  The scenes with the green teens are so cringe, it’s painful.

That is how you spell it. And believe me people all over are saying green, acting coach, lessons. 

I would just refer you all to early Kristian Alfonso, Lisa Trusel & Missy Reeves. There is a very grand tradition in daytime of casting talented youngsters & letting them learn on the job.

    • I did some research and the story wrapped up with a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he fell to his death. So there was a supernatural element.
    • AI has it wrong. David was working as an aide at PV Hospital due to failing to save his brother's life and refusing to continue as a doctor. His true profession was revealed later. Edna had divorced him while he was in Vietnam and he had no reason to be in contact with her. He had no idea that he had a daughter.  Ruth was Ruth Martin, she was still married to Joe, not Jeff. He was not deceiving Ruth as he believed that Edna was his ex. The poisoning story happened late in his run and probably introduced when they knew Gleason was leaving. AI's interpretation of him as conniving seems to based on that short lived poisoning story and other misinformation. For most of 76 he was involved in the Ruth/Joe triangle to the point where Ruth was ready to divorce Joe and leave town. Joe had to have surgery, David operated and Ruth suddenly realized she wanted to stay with Joe despite all the problems they'd been happening. David then got involved with Christina with Jeff and then Edna as complications. And he arrived late 75 not 76.
    • Interesting that they started going into a supernatural direction with ghosts - I don't think they really did that before? I wonder if it was a response to getting put so late in the afternoon and I guess trying to appeal to that former Dark Shadows audience? 
    • That makes sense then! Is there a place where you can read more Daytime Serial Newsletters? They sound very informative. Thank you

    • Yep. Access to the Vault works fine but upon downloading attempts an error message pops up.   Maybe it is just a temporary glitch.

    • I'm pretty sure this ep is  from Dec 73 From the Daytime Serial Newsletter Ian and Valerie Northcote are deeply concerned over Laurie's  life being increasingly dominated by hallucinations and fantasies about Georgina, the former owner of the house the Reddins recently bought and are now living in. Doreen Post (Linda Purl) was involved in that story .Perhaps she was going to be revealed as Georgina's daughter? Wonder how that story evolved and whether it was wrapped up before cancellation? and thanks to @skylark

    • Thank u so much! I love that show and the more I see of it the more I want to find more of it even if it’s just in script form. But that house and especially the room looked like Victoria Winters room from dark shadows lol  this was great find! Thanks
