GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

Oh wow, had no clue about that. That’s so sad. Couldn’t imagine playing that kind of stuff so soon after.

Jesus this show. Michael is literally telling Dex to not press charges on the man who beat the hell out of him and threatened to kill him because his poor sister might have to testify against her mobster [!@#$%^&*] father. Anything for Sonny to not pay for his crimes.

Oh great it gets even better, they now have Joss as well asking him not to press charges. 
 

It’s one step forward and two steps back with how this show handles Sonny.

Chances are, if/when Josh and Amanda's respective offspring stumble across old Chase/BLQ clips online, they're going to be just as frustrated as we are now that they are the most sexless, romance-free pairing ever.

Again, if BLQ/Chase clips are still on the internet in 13 years I would be shocked!

It is funny to imagine their kids finding the clips and realizing how boring their parents are though.

I do agree with @Vee that it was loosely implied they had sex between episodes.  I just can't imagine being a fan of this pairing and being happy with them not getting a wedding night with a love scene or a honeymoon.

Well, everything ends up on the Internet sooner or later!

Josh/Amanda: "We were thinking about you when we demanded no love scenes.  We didn't want that stuff to come back and embarrass you later."

Kid(s): "Well, that's terrific - except now?  Everybody thinks we're Mormons!"

Two thoughts:

1. I know Amanda is doing this out of respect for her real-life husband, but...if you're worried about what performing love scenes on a daytime soap opera might do to your real-life marriage, then is your marriage really all that secure?  (Steve Burton refused to do love scenes or even go shirtless for years partially out of respect for his wife, and look where that got him, lol!)

2. Part of me believes Josh and Amanda's "No Sex, Please, We're Skittish!" act, and part of me wonders if it's REALLY because the two might not like each other IRL and are only forced to work together because Frank.

I don't even really get the concept.  I can't recall every project Setton and Swickard have done, but I am assuming they have both done love scenes previously.  That work would theoretically be out there for their kids to find, so they could still potentially be embarrassed?

It would be hilarious if one day they both had to tell their kids they were canned because they refused to love scenes out of respect for them though.

1. Agreed

2.  Idk.  On screen they don't come off well matched or share a great bond, but in interviews they seem to have a good rapport.   I know that means nothing because it's a professional interview.  I just think their off screen interactions seem more believable than their on screen ones.

Forget the love scenes (or lack thereof).  Amanda once played a gold-digging exotic dancer who married a man old enough to be her (grand)father!  How will she explain THAT to her kids, lol?

Anna also spent the hour basically convincing Dex to not turn in Sonny because Sonny’s family might get hurt. She’s making zero sense as a character right now. She’s spent three months explaining her new stance on Sonny but now that she has his dead to rights she pulls back? It’s frustrating.

I think Amanda Setton and that guy have a good rapport onscreen, they just have no romantic chemistry. I feel no desire from them. But most of the couples on this show lack desire and passion. Nina and Drew are the only “couple” who act like they want to fück each other. Everyone else is very “guess I have to kiss my coworker today!”.

It's very schizophrenic and I was commenting on it a few days ago. It's been like this for some time. The force and a lot of the daily writing behind the change in the town's attitude towards Sonny has been strong for me, if awkward in places (Kristina's selective amnesia/denial I can handwave to a point given her history, but Laura making it about poor Cyrus who put her daughter in a coma is silly - she should be rid of both of them). But every time they have great scenes with Anna or Laura speechifying about letting go of Sonny or enforcing the law and right and wrong, there comes another scene where Anna then turns around and says well, no, maybe let's not file this charge today. Anna's not Hamlet! It feels schizoid and I wonder if it is partly due to whatever has gone down at the show and treading water BTS.

Chase/Brook Lynn also had pre-marital sex and lived together before marriage.  Is that against their beliefs as well? Brook Lynn faked an out of wedlock pregnancy after a 1 night stand.  Is that something you need to explain to your children too?   Again, their beliefs are theirs and that's fine it just seems more specifically about love scenes than other actions their characters do that aren't modest and sometimes even illegal lol.

I assume it's BTS stuff.  I tried really hard to understand Anna's motivation the other day and her explanation didn't really make sense to me.  Why on earth should anyone protect Sonny at this point?

        Kim was cast before Don Stewart left GL.
    • Another I wonder about if they thought Joe Gallison would have more of an impact after his AW success. Was Agnes still involved with OLTL then?
    • I thought I was the only one. They do nothing for me. I enjoy Dani which seems to be an unpopular opinion here, but Andre to me is as unnecessary as Ashley and Derek. Not only should Vanessa, Nicole's bestie, and her husband have been there but where are Naomi and her man?   
    • I think Vanessa not being there was a matter of choices in who to have there without overloading the interactions. Nicole is going to have to interact with her kids, parents, sister and of course have it out with Ted. Any interaction with Vanessa will have to be after the whole mess goes down.
    • Right--I did think of that, as it was around the same few years.  Accents I guess...
    • It is an insult. To the viewer's intelligence. Everything in this show in the past 4 years has been horribly conceived, produced like a cheap tik-tok video, without any build up or psychological reasoning, and then re-written to level 0 in couple of weeks (where everything is ABSOLUTELY the same as it was before it happened). People get gravely sick and then recover in 5 episodes, because of miracle cures. People get killed and un-killed in the most cartoonish Scooby-Doo scenarios, people get pardoned after killing 2 innocent victims, people become and unbecome CEOs with the snap of a finger. But when you look around in a month or two or three... it's like absolutely nothing has happened. Nobody has grown... or evolved... or changed. We still have Steffy talking to Ridge how Hope and her mother are not worthy. We still have Brooke crying about something that Ridge said. We still have Hope at the same emotional limbo she's been put in ever since Brad decided she needs a re-vamp and made her a ho. EVERYTHING IS THE SAME. Only the Taylors change every few seasons and become increasingly younger. The problem I have with Liam's storyline is the problem I have with every storyline - why should I care if he is dying or sick with cancer when I haven't seen him in 2 years?!! Why go from 0 to a 100 like that. The same way with Sheila... who was backburned for months... before getting fake-killed for ratings. Why would we care about that... when Sheila was a non-entity before that.  Or why should I care for Brooke... when she's been ABSOLUTELY NOTHING of a character for years... to now all of a sudden re-birthed into a lingerie queen and CEO?   Back in the day, we... the viewers of this horrible show... cared and loved to see characters struggle from point A to point B. We wanted to see the build up, the makings of something. Not get a finished result that is undone after a week or two. When Brooke became CEO in 1993... we cheered because it mattered and because she gave HER ALL to get to that point. It was a revenge after years and years of abuse, being slapped around like a homeless dog by Stephanie. She plotted and calculated her every move. But she was also raw and hurt. She was both opportunist and a heroine. She had dept and dimensions. THAT WAS A CHARACTER. That was a human being.   My diagnosis is that at this point Bradley Bell doesn't care. Bold is living off of past history, fans being loyal, the show being 18 minutes of crap that people watch to laugh at. He sees the ratings are still okay and even improving and he DOES NOT GIVE A S-IT. He is even more motivated to continue with the current style of trash. It will only get worse from this day on.  He is way pass the period where he wanted to tell stories or impress the viewers with anything. (Not that he was particularly good about that anyways) I would not even be surprised if he is writing this drivel on complete auto-pilot at this point. Maybe he asks Chat GPT what to write each week. That's how it feels. IF IT'S THE OPPOSITE... and he is trying and that's the BEST HE CAN DO?!!! Then we are really f-cked.  Even Bradley Bell was NOT THAT HORRIBLE guys. But times change and people age... and that's all I'm going to say.   
    • -- Really good episode today, with a lot more happening than I expected. -- SilkPress is great, but I don't see the need to criticize Dani/KM when supporting Leslie. -- That being said, I don't like Dani with Andre. I think they should end that as soon as possible. -- Very lame that Vanessa and Doug weren't there. If they want to impress on us that Vanessa is Nicole's best friend, they need to do better. -- Brandon Claybon continues to improve as Martin, and his relationship with Smitty finally feels real. -- Dr. Carlton is, as others have posted, fine as fck. We need more.
    • As much as I have hyped the looks on this show, those dresses did not impress today. Since the premeire, there's only been one look that I can truly say IMO didn't work (and it honestly wasn't even that bad). It was an outfit Dani wore. These flowly wide leg trousers and it was paired with a loose top with a cowl neck. However, I didn't LOVE a single dress on any of the ladies today. Kat's was great only because it suits the character and her personality - so an A for that. It's a good dress. Dana's was also really nice. Everyone else either just was meh, had something unflattering about the fit, or didn't really fit the vibe.  Also, this isn't BTG's fault. It's just the state of soap operas today, but that event felt empty. Tables of 3

      I mean it was nice that they had some extras on there, but it definitely didn't feel like an event when the family was pretty much ever table there.  That was a nice end to the episode and I wonder how this is going to unfold.   
    • I was looking at the AWHP synopses from the period where Quinn had a stalker in 1984 and it refers to pranks and phone calls. Does anybody remember what the pranks were? Or were they just disturbing phone calls?
