GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

[Vee]

In fairness I kind of got the impression they fúcked in between episodes. In the next one IIRC Chase is shirtless and BLQ is in a robe. But I agree it was far too underplayed and far too focused on them doing anything but have sex on their wedding night.

I do think the farewell scenes with Gregory and Finn were very good - him helping his aged father get ready for bed, the ritual of it and their final talk. ME was clearly very close to him and very affected by that material. I thought all that was quite well done. I thought the infomercial-level montage at Gregory's bedside at the end with that terrible 'we'll love the lovely years' in-house song they play all the time was shítty though.

Would you rather they have asked Jojo Love to perform another song?

[DRW50]

They should do their own version of that Paul Anka Kodak song ("the time of your life" or something like that). Maybe have Violet sing it.

[Khan]

I’ll be damned if that overexposed brat ever gets her chance to ruin that song with her “singing.”

You mean Chase allowed BLQ to look upon his nakedness?  That’s not gonna go over too well with the rest of the cult!

What about Blaze? 

On another topic, seeing the fans who are just now learning that Gregory Harrison has been on TV for such a long time and marveling at various photos of him in those prime years makes me feel very old.

[Khan]

I’d rather Frank just skip using sets for a whole month and spring for Paul Anka.

It IS sad how so many young folks are so unaware of the hotness that was Gonzo Gates.

And what are the kids going to think 15 years from now!!

[Antoyne]

Still one of the most absurd things I’ve ever read, and the fact that the writers/producers all just go well that makes sense and allow it is stupid.

Lord Carly slipped right back into the mob wive apologist role so quickly. The fact that Jason decides to call Carly of all people after Sonny brutally attacks someone should tell you all you need to know about this toxic codependent throuple.

Please don't talk like this.

Jason was behind those drapes holding back tears about Sonny, BTW. It was all over his face. Just a lot.

[Antoyne]

He looked more pained at Sonny’s man pain than he did when he missed Alan’s death.

How long was Gregory even a character on this show? He got a montage befitting a vet character being killed off and I literally just found out about him when I started this journey two months ago

It boggles my mind to realize this via the wiki but that [!@#$%^&*] had been on this show five years. (Not counting James Read's prior stint)

GH started as Gregory in November 2020, stayed around til June '21, then came back in May '22.

[Contessa Donatella]

Putting it out into the universe that Vile-ette is singing - like oh god - My Way or any classic is making me nervous!!

[Antoyne]

I guess I checked out of GH even further back than I remembered, 5 [!@#$%^&*] years?!

Again Michael Easton showed up for work in those scenes with Finn finding Gregory. I guess it’s nice to know he’s actually capable because he managed to make me care about his 3rd character on the show and that character’s dad just by showing that true heartbreak.

I’m going to be so pissed off when they hand wave all of Sonny’s [!@#$%^&*] behavior as his meds being tampered. Sonny is and has always been a selfish [!@#$%^&*] murdering prick medicated or unmedicated. 

[Antoyne]

Another great moment of someone calling out Sonny in the scene with Dante. Sonny truly somehow has made his narcissistic ass the victim. 

[Vee]

I think he was close to Gregory Harrison, but it's also close to home rn as (as reported in the OLTL thread) ME was holding his good friend Kamar de los Reyes' hand when he died last year.
