GH: March 2024 Discussion Thread

Things we learned today: 

Dex is safe. They're keeping his character. 

Joss was more naive & sheltered than many of us realized. Her thing of being anti-Sonny didn't really involve the mob but was just plain anti-Sonny. When her father Jax would go on & on about his daughter living in danger & under guard, she really didn't get it. 

BLQ is Presumptive Team Jason. More than that though she is Team Q & Tracy's Grandbaby with her traits & ways of thinking. She really let Special Agent IAmJohn have it. 

Willow has taken another step in helping Jason because somehow she appropriated a bottle of antibiotic.  

Only Day 3 of PM/Korte but longer scenes, better flow, more complex dialogue, things are said with intent & purpose specific to the characters & to situations, people aren't staying in their same lanes but moving in & out of lanes, characters interacting with people they usually have not, ...

Good episode today, lots of parent child relationships at play this is the kind of exploration I like to see on my soaps

I couldn’t believe Dex snitched on Sonny like that

 Finola Hughes once again doing A caliber work even with a scene partner not up to par. Curious where things go with both characters seemingly done with protecting Sonny even though Anna didn’t even bother to take the statement

Josslyn and Carly’s scenes were great. Its interesting seeing Carly have to explain her blind loyalty to Jason and Sonny despite their crimes and her kid not just excusing it

Love the current dynamic of Kristina and Sonny. Nice to see him support her with Eva La Rue

Jason having zero connections with his sons is actually kind of sad but its cool to see him bond with Danny in real time. Loved Brook Lynn going after Jagger for questioning Danny

Love the current dynamic of Kristina and Sonny. Nice to see him support her with Eva La Rue

Elizabeth and Aidan’s scenes were pretty good as well.

I agree with everybody who said that the dialogue and the scenes in general do seem to have improved  lately, but I still don’t know about some of these story choices.

I wish we would have seen Jake and Aiden’s argument rather than just hearing about it.  And I would definitely much rather have seen that than Joss crying and moaning for the umpteenth time. I glad she’s hurting right now. She totally deserves it #Karma

Btw, Laura Wright acts circles around Eden McCoy.

As for John/Jagger, when it comes to biased prop writing, are they trying to top the ‘Nina tipped off the SEC’ crap with his story arc? 

And yeah, maybe it’s time to introduce Tobias. That would be something new for a teen romance soap storyline #Taiden

Carly: "I thought you knew?"

Joss: "Yeah, but I thought you guys were kidding before?"

Carly: "Oh, yeah.  That's exactly the kind of family we are.  The kind that jokes about working in organized crime on a regular basis.  Seriously, daughter, where did I go wrong with you?"

They know this. They are showing Joss as the true hypocrite she is.

Joss has been a hypocrite for a while now. Its not like she didnt know Sonny ran a MOB and Jason as enforcer killed for him. What did she expect Dex as his new enforcer was gonna do, pour coffee?

I doubt they'd do two gay storylines at the same time. I wish they'd do both because the Kristina/Blaze story does nothing for me. I don't care for the pairing and either actress in their roles. It's nice to have EL but that's about it.

I believe they are telling us that Joss believed in a fairy tale version where, sure, there were times when they had to kill but it was only bad people on the attack. She even pointed out that it was an old man in a hospital bed. 

How can you not?!! They are so adorable?!! Oh, well, can't win them all. 

Me, I had the opposite reaction to Sexy Dexy yesterday. I had previously had him on my list as in danger of being cut & then after their use of him yesterday, decided, no, that he was actually safe, that they had a use for him. I guess we'll see.

I wish to high heaven that they would get rid of Dex. He is awful. I can't stand his style of anything. What tf is different about him lately? It's not just his hair. What is it? Eyebrows? Filler?

They had a great opportunity to get rid of him with this storyline. Now he's blabbing to Anna. WTF. That is such a wussy way out. And he's STILL standing around with his mouth hanging open ALL the time. Close your mouth Dex! And don't let the door hit your ass on the way out. 

The only reason I think they might make him Jason's son is only as an excuse to keep him around. He's not only a wuss, but he's now narced off Sonny to the authorities. How will he come back from that since Joss has dumped him? So sick of Dex.

This Jason's son nonsense people online come up with is as fake as "street kid Dev is Brenda's son". I suspect he may well be out soon, and he should be. He's a wuss but he was right to drop a dime on Sonny.

Fake as it may be, there are not many other ways to keep Dex relevant now that he's done the ultimate snitch on Sonny. I don't care if Joss loves him or if she's pregnant. This Dex guy has been in Sonny's inner circle for a couple of years now. It was preposterous that Dex earned Sonny's trust in any way since he's been brought in as a friend of the manager of the boxing ring (or whatever) by Michael.

I'm just waiting for word that this Dex schlup is gone for good.

I hope they continue to do that, because the propping has been beyond sick. 

Didn’t his whole family get killed off in a hurricane or something?

Then again, the way they rewrite things on GH now, it could happen. It would be pretty good, regardless. 

It would be nice to see though lol 

Plus, it would be something different, which is always good for soaps. 

Exactly.

That could be so good.

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
