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?

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
