GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

I didn't mind Kristina's dress.  It was a nice color on her.  It's a trendy style for pregnant woman.  While I don't think it's the most flattering look, I have seen friends wear similar things to weddings/showers/formal events.

Lois's outfit was a choice, but for some reason I was expecting worse from the comments.  It was slightly ridiculous but it fits Lois.

I didn't like Brook Lynn's dress much.  So much fabric.  The idea was nice.  

I thought everyone at the wedding looked good for the most part.

The actual show was a bit of a snooze and all about Gregory.

Also, negative points for Violet being so featured.

Yeah, I saw some of the Lois comments and was pleasantly surprised. I loved it on her. 

 

I'm probably missing what everyone else is seeing in Kristina's outfit, too, because I liked it for it. And it's something that is currently trendy? Well-played, costumers.

 

I liked BLQ's dress, but I looked at the bottom and immediately flashbacked to Brenda's 2011's wedding to Sonny. Thankfully, the veil was nothing like Brenda's. Though it made me wonder if it was a subtle shoutout.

 

It's been so long since I thought about Ross's run for Mayor on GL. Did he have a scandal or was it a stuffed ballot situation? I honestly don't remember.

I thought Vee brought Ross's election up because Mulcahey wrote on that story. If I could just recall what it is I think something about Ross at that time is one of the things he says he is proudest of. 

Checked my notes PM wrote 

Ross's election night dream.

Ed & Ross conversation. 

Now I'm going to YT to see if I can refresh my brain.

This episode was complete fast forward material for me. Nothing exciting, nothing interesting. I couldn't care less about the marrying couple. Like others, I prefer the 2020 temp for BL; the temp had a spark and much better chemistry.

The comments on here probably skewed me a bit because I was expecting awful things from Kristina and Lois.  And when I watched I didn't think either were that bad.  Everyone looked surprisingly decent or good although the weird fabric loops/straps hanging off of Olivia's dress had me on pause but LLC always looks good.

I am not getting Brenda vibes at all from Brook Lynn's dress lol.  If they didn't go with the whole Lila dress thing I would have loved Brenda sending some dresses from Cartullo for Brook Lynn as a shout out.

That was a Senate campaign. Ross ran for mayor in 2002 or 2003. I think that was the campaign Danny tried to buy for himself, or something - I don't remember.

[Vee]

Yes, I was thinking of the Senate thing.

Thank you for correcting me. I don't know why I used the word in my sentence when talking about Hulu having more viewership than Disney+. In that vein, Nielsen recently introduced a new tracking model that indicates the overall reach of all the current popular streamers, and in it, Hulu has 3.1% of the market to Disney+, which has 1.8% in terms of Total Day viewership among Persons 2+. The Hulu number excludes subscribers to the Hulu+Live TV plan.

I can't remember either. Darn. 

Now that I rewatched the whole show, I don't feel as critical of Krissy's gown. But, I realized that I cannot stand Sam's! + one, - one, I guess my net remains the same, B+ for the day. But, we better have some ACTION today AND tomorrow, too! 

I did extensive screencapping as reference to the wedding "costumes".  As is your pleasure,

I've been very critical of GH, but I thought today's episode was just great -- until we got the singing kid at the end in a scene that went on WAY too long. Leaving us with that was a bad choice.

[carolineg]

I 100% agree.  Loved the episode until Violet starting singing. And *of course* she wrote it herself.

  Is she even supposed to be good or just obnoxious?

In light of today’s news, I’ll look at today’s episode as “what could have been” had this show not had so much BTS turmoil and a full vision was allowed to take hold.
