GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

The original Kate story worked. I recall very vividly these same fools ranting at Cynthia Watros online and Frank about Nina breaking up Sonny and Carly. Maurice spoke out about it a couple of times. That group of people are best ignored.

My feeling from the beginning was we won’t see real movement until  May/early summer. They are taking a bit too long to rearrange the deck of the Titanic when it comes to many of these characters.

This is what happens when you hire new writers and put them immediately to work without a bible or time to strictly focus on where they want things to go instead of slowly shaping it day by day. I am constantly reminded of SSM returning to Y&R. The characters and scripts were so much stronger, they just didn’t have stories to propel them.

The reason I am still a little hopeful is that Mulcahey is a much stronger writer than SSM.

I just don't think they are interested in bibles at the networks anymore, tbh. Many times it's just been 'hop in!' and work with all sorts of constraints. I hope that changes here, and I'll be curious to see how The Gates turns out.

Loved today too. Lot of Good stuff. Carly was soclose to getting to the meds truth. Ava is still up to something i dunno

I liked the congressman with Drew & Nina. Was that Sam McMurray in the role?

Yes Trina, Joss still wants Dex. I am not shocked Joss wants to change majors. She is flaky

TY Alexis for asking Kristina about the baby

He either whispers or yells but no real emotion

As opposed to lying to everybody about Sonny still being alive and all the other crazy stuff Nina has done since she arrived with both actors? If my option is the Nina we had before who was a jittery, crying mess obsessed with Sonny, or the one we have now that has so much more going on…I will take the current version. This one is at least fun to watch. And she made CM’s Drew tolerable to watch!

Nina was pretty awful when she was with Sonny but she really isn't that much better in Drew's orbit. I feel like the writers are only using her as a prop for Drew. And we all know that her latest plot to win back Willow is going to ultimately fail anyway, as always, because Willow will never love Nina the way Nina wants her to.

Great statement by NAC, but if it's all true, we won't get a recast Spencer.

We all know Chavez is too busy to return to GH right now. That means any return would come a good while from now, and if Chavez hits big in primetime and films, he'd be back for a short stint only.

Would Frank Valentini sideline the Spencer character indefinitely in hopes NAC will return one day? Unfortunately, I think he would -- and that hurts the show. The guy recasts all over the place, so I can't see holding Spencer for one actor who's likely not coming back.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
