GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

Yeah, and that's why I don't really blame ELR.  She seems confused about how to play the character.  She doesn't think Natalia is homophobic, but she is.  She doesn't think she's bad, but I think she is.  It has to be difficult to play a character that is so loosely thought out.

It's an experience I thought I'd never have lol.  But, honestly, they are entertaining.

I think the recent scripts are pretty clear on exactly what kind of stealth homophobe and stage mom she is, and it's a compelling portrait in that way for me of a very specific modern type of that kind of character. But this is a soap opera, not Josh Griffith's Y&R, so unless that is backed up with action and actual schemes I don't need to keep watching her going around town conducting the BLQ Inquisition. Act and heat up the story or leave.

It's so strange what they are doing to Sasha.  Not that she was ever a fully fleshed out character but she seems uncultured?  backwoods?  country?  I am not even sure.  As a Deception model for years I would think she would be more chic and modern, but she isn't at all.  I think it's supposed to come off humble or something, but it really just makes no sense.

That's fair.  I still don't really see the point of the character unless she's going to hook up with Sonny or something lol.  I am not advocating that or anything but she's pretty lame as far as Kristina/Blaze obstacles.

Ha!  She does talk slowly, but I always thought it was because English wasn't Sophia Mattson's first language.   I am pretty sure Sasha is supposed to be from upstate NY and not from a farm in Kentucky.  I really don't know much about upstate NY, so it is entirely possible she just cooked and hung out with horses, but.....seems unlikely.

If this was the Guza II era she would absolutely be tested with Sonny and then flung aside like Claire, that rando Jordan, Reese, etc. lol. But I don't think the show is really going there at all.

I had no idea, you could've fooled me. I just often mean she speaks strangely period lol.

I had no idea who the hell Georgie was til they said her name lol

This Aidan looks more like Rebecca Herbst. I think people were too harsh on the last kid but I’m not sad to see him gone

So many characters in these Deception scenes in the middle of the Q living room 

Sasha is just a weird character, I wish they’d write her off

Frankly, I don't think you have to worry about that.  Something tells me CM will soon be too busy pumping out movies and other stuff for Great Aryanmerican Family to give GH his undivided attention.

I'd have to agree.  Then again, I've always been one who felt Alexis shouldn't have had any children.

    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • 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
