GH: March 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

I still can't get past the visual disconnect either with Jagger.  I agree AH is doing a good job and I'd probably be praising him up and down as an amazing find if he played anyone but Jagger.  It's still really throwing me off, but I suppose I will get used to it in time.

That's just an MSN copy of the DaytimeConfidential article by Jillian Bowe.
It says at the top of the MSN page that it's a copy of that.

Amusingly, when Jason admitted to Anna that he didn't recognize that he had been friends with John Cates as a teenager, I was thinking, “yeah, that's because he's had a head transplant!”

The show could have helped by giving him more of a salt and pepper effect than blond and gray. And a haircut.

[Contessa Donatella]

I knew that. Personally I thought it was interesting that MSN/Bing was carrying it. 

[Vee]

Yeah, the hair is a really bad choice.

[Contessa Donatella]

I've been bitching & whining about him  needing a haircut since Day 1! 

But, besides that I have no problem with him as John Jacob Whatever ...

@janea4old Script writers aren’t in the writers room, that’s why Shannon said she was the only POC writer in the room.  

[janea4old]

Thanks!

@Toups  What exactly does that mean?  Does that mean that traditionally HW and breakdown writers are at the studio in a "room" ...  but scriptwriters write from home ...  (even though they probably all write from home nowadays?)   Or does it mean something else entirely such as the "room" being where decisions are made?

Room doesn’t always mean physically. They used to do conference calls for writer’s meetings, now I assume they are on zoom several time a week.

Jake's best father figure has been Franco. He was around the most. Jason was "Dead" or hitman for hire and I still dont get WTF is Lucky's issue with being a parent since his 2015 visit. Please answer me that one PM & EK

The only thing I felt was off in the Trina/Joss talk today was that Trina apologized for being "Bitchy" the other day. Trina you werent. You were in your valid feelings. Continue to own them. That is your right.

[janea4old]

I'd like to know that, too.

[Contessa Donatella]

I didn't find anything off in either day of Joss & Trina. Thank God they are writing her grief. Being numb, stuffing her anger for weeks. It was natural for her to take it out on her safest person. Deep down she knows Joss will forgive her. To me she definitely was being a bitch, which she is entitled to be. Anger is a part of grief. Mutual apologies & hugging it out was perfect. 

Day 9 Mulcahey/Korte So today was weird. It was like we went back to the previous style with shorter scenes & more cuts back & forth instead of the longer scenes we've been having.

Loved the fight between the kids. Hated Sam going all stereotypical. She'd have died if she'd seen Danny's face when she said he can never see Jason again. There's no way he's going to live by that new law. That he can never see his father again.

Sexy Dexy is gonna be a cop?!! Do cops get time off specifically to have their hair done? But, Anna was quite enthused. It's like she's hiding him in plain sight & just daring Sonny to touch him.

 

Team Jason: Jason, Carly, Danny, Michael, Willow, Spinelli & Maxie still p*, Joss, Brook Lynn, Anna, +Molly 
Team Anti-Jason: Sam, Cates, Alexis, Sonny, Drew, p* Lois & Nina, Trina, Chase, Jake, p*Ava, +Kristina 
Conflicted: No One
PWAgendas: no chg.

-- I can't believe how many here are still posting about Jagger's hair color and hairstyle. I don't understand the near-obsession with getting a recast who looks more like Sabato, who left decades ago.

-- Regarding GH firing their Black writer: Why didn't anyone there realize the optics here are horrible? That they needed to announce the addition of a POC at the same time as that firing?

Yes, new head writers should get their own team. But you're telling me they can't find another Black writer??? They're either ignorant, or they just don't care.
