GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

See? The funny thing is he isn't my type either. And definitely don't like his rl personality. But I can say he's not ugly for the most part, but never really found him attractive...until the suits and dad bod. 

 

Michael...not my favorite of Sonny's kids...I'm...mostly indifferent now in a wasted potential sense. 

Another good story in the making for the saga of 'If/When Kristina loses the baby...'

He's not a bad looking guy and if I met him in real life I would think he was really handsome I assume.  He is so played out and I think that really affects perspective because I do eyeroll him ever time I see him.

But also CD was a hottie in the early 2010 era.

Back in 2010 If you had told me that CD would be a long-term GH actor, I would have said you are crazy. I thought Michael would have been like OLTL's Kevin & Joey Buchanan. Multiple well recieved actors doing a 3 year contract & then being recast.

I guess because I had such a long break from GH, Michael and Chad aren’t bothering me like he did in the past. I think it’s because I’ve been pleasantly surprised to see he’s truly in the Quartermaine fold now. I had hoped when Sonny killed AJ and Michael disowned him, it would’ve stuck but this is a nice compromise.

I mean, where is he going to go?  He's the most vanilla, blandest actor on the planet right now.  It's basically a dog fight between Willow, Sasha, and Michael on who can be the most boring.  Michael has enough history to be a bit more exciting, but CD looks bored 99%  100% of the time so the chips just fall where they do.

In that dogfight of Willow, Sasha, and Michael...even the ladies outpace him at the moment. With Willow that's only because of the potential triangle that might come her way. And with Sasha...well...she's always had potential bad girl/girl down on her luck about her that bad writing aside works to her advantage.

Such wasted potential.

 

But at least he's in the Quartermaine fold again aside from that rushed tale.

Chad’s in a similar situation as Scott Clifton; he’s a nice looking guy but the character he plays just makes him so unappealing. Part of me still wonders how Willow chose him over Chase

And I don’t know if it’s the writing or the way that Chad portrays it, but Michael’s biggest problem is that he’s literally a child trapped in a man’s body. Most of the time when he’s angry, he just comes off like a bratty little kid. There’s been no growth in his character over all these years

I actually think Scott Clifton is much better looking than Chad, but your point is spot on.  I think it makes sense his character is bratty with his upbringing, but Michael is a very stagnant character.  I would give the character a long break and probably recast.

It doesn't help that CD has no romantic chemistry with anyone.  His best pairing was Abby the stripper and she got killed by a crane off screen.

Abby got killed by a crane off screen.  The actress and character weren't appearing much and I guess they fired her because she was on the phone with Michael and something fell off a crane and she died.  I am not making this up.  Michael went somewhere to scatter her ashes and everything.  I believe it was that weird writing period post Guza when Garin Wolf took over and before RC.

    • Seems like the Dobsons were aiming for a Joe/Sara/Justin triangle or, having decided that Joe would be killed off, Justin would be waiting in the wings. But that never came to pass and I don't think there was much reference to Justin/Sara as time went on.That was something that could have been used later on but Doug Marland may not have known or cared. Also, when the show went to an hour they could add a lot of characters and not rely on the stalwarts, hence Jackie/Alan/Elizabeth. And after Leslie died, Mike went into Dad mode with Hope. Hope/Ben never took off and Hope was replaced and then dropped and Ben moved on to Eve, whose romance with Tim fizzled and Jordan Clarke left (by choice?)

    • When I was a kid, I would watch DOOL with my mom. I remember Denise as Susan so well. And later, of course, on GH. How sad to hear she has passed. RIP.
    • I have to dig that scene up on YT. I'm glad they gave them some kind of happy ending, even if it was really late. Interesting! I remember Justin and Sarah being involved, but I either forgot or never caught their backstory. The girl with money and social position of course turns out to be Jackie. He sort of did to Sarah what Vanessa did to his brother! I do remember Justin started out as not the greatest guy. Kind of a horn dog. It's only when Ross comes on that he becomes the "good" brother. I only have some vague memories of Ben and Hope, mostly of when they were in a positive relationship. He certainly changed over time. "Chill" would be the way I would describe Ben (along with "handsome but kind of a yawn") for most of his time on GL, so hearing he once had a violent temper is very surprising.
    • Yes. That's called good writing.
    • interesting idea.  That makes sense, as MVJ seems to have set up each character development (traits) for future plot developments.
    • I really enjoyed today's episode. It showcased a lot of the other cast and I saw hints of storyline potential (Smitty & Bill). Martin definitely has some anger issues and I recall him being overly scared about protecting his family and having all the doors locked, coming out of one of his "dreams". There's obviously a lot going on there and I can't wait to find out more. I'm thinking June is going to be more than just the issue story of the week. I think she just might be related to one or more of our main characters. As for Tomas, yes, Alex Alegria is not the strongest actor, but he's pretty to look at and he emotes something. I'm just not sure what that something is yet.
    • No. Absolutely No. I don't know who this is... since it's just some random Twitter quote... But NO. The only parallel between OG Caroline's leukemia and Liam's tumor... is that they are both having cancer. That's it. Other than that... I see absolutely no similarities.  Caroline hid her sickness almost till the last moment. She was also giving the viewers signs that she is not well for days if not weeks before the diagnosis. It was not like Liam... falling down and hitting his head on a table and bam he has a tumor. Caroline's storyline broke our hearts, because of her attempt to live out the rest of her days with dignity and grace. It was written slowly and with care. What we are seeing right now with Liam is the complete opposite. It's begging the viewers for empathy and cheap tears. It's so in your face and trashy... I can't believe they are using cancer for something like this. Bradley Bell should never do terminal stuff again in his stories. It's borderline offensive to people who actually have lost relatives to cancer. To me it is.
