GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

[Liberty City]

Well, unlike Sonny, he got shít done.

That's why I wonder if there's more to that story than just "It contradicts my beliefs" or "What will the children think?"  

And even their passion is sordid and kinky when you think about how, not too long ago, Drew wanted to beat her down like a dude.

Not partly, but totally.  We're definitely getting two HW's separate handiworks here.

I love the idea of bringing back Serena and Christina. I know Kin Shriner said on Twitter that TPTB doesn't have any interest in bringing back Serena, but it's so much this show is missing out on by not having her and her sister on canvas. 

I would have Serena either be an attorney or a financial coordinator at General Hospital, and I would have Christina, or Tina, for short, be a doctor, falling in the footsteps of her biological mother Julie and former stepfather Kevin. 

Also, Tommy Hardy is a no-brainer, making him a pediatrician like his mother, Simone. He even has a big name like Victoria Rowell or Vanessa Estelle Williams to play Simone on a recurring basis, while Matthew Ashford can be Tom Hardy again when needed.

Knowing Rena and Wally are actual exes, those scenes with Lois and Ned in the kitchen were truly great. I never saw them as a couple but they sell being exes and Brook Lynn’s parents so well.

Ava is such a sneaky snake, I truly love it. I have no clue what her end goal is but I’m sure enjoying watching her weave her web around Sonny. And now she’s behind Alexis’ disbarment

They very much do. Lois's return...the gift that keeps on giving.

I admit I took a break over the BTS scenes news because I was oh so livid. Still not over the wasted potential, but it is what it is. 

 

That said...I thought the wedding was going to be more boring than what I felt it was IMHO. But...I actually liked it. But it might be, for me, that I was viewing regularly/semi-regularly when BLQ and Chase got together. Sometimes they were fun. Sometimes the meet-cutes were. Other times, they irked me. However, I do like the bad girl/good guy trope...and they started off as sparring partners/friends so it felt like a full completed arc for them.

 

And outside of THAT ending...sorry, Vi...I felt that it felt like a wedding. The speeches...hehe beer bottle. The extended family being about. People talking about their lives. And the wedding pictures. I was awwww. 

 

And then the tension beneath the surface aka the other stories. I hope they went more with it...otherwise...wasted potential. Drew vs Jason...so that was truly their first scene. Same for Maxie/Spin. They really haven't talked since Jason's return started? And I felt the kiss was surprisingly anti-climactic. But that could be because of the fact that they have been MIA since they started dealing with their feelings two months ago. And Liz and Jason...my Liason heart swooned for that brief moment. 

 

Well...I take that back. That was a good cliffhanger with Finn probably also having his father's disease. Uh oh indeed.

Oh yes Dex will make an excellent cop Anna. He’s already learned rule number 1, the rules don’t apply to Sonny the violent mobster.

I really enjoyed the wedding & it was great because it was so like a classic wedding from "days gone by." Plus, the writing provided such a feel of community. I didn't like Violet & her song or her catching the bouquet with an assist by Jordan. Ned should've been in a better suit. But those are my only criticisms & for something that big & over 3 days, that is remarkable. I liked or loved everything else. 

Then, the real action, the first real action in awhile & I loved all the soapy goodness of all of that drama. I hated that Carly had to wipe Sonny's nose for him again but I liked that Jason was right outside listening to everything so it was if she wasn't really alone. I loved Joss & Sexy Dexy being there together through the crisis. I loved Kristina coming to realization after realization. I like that being with Blaze she seems to be both smarter & a better person. I applauded Dante FINALLY telling Sonny off! 

What? Whatever it was it flew right by me & made a whooshing sound as it passed. 

If my middle brother, the addict I had to deal with as a family member, were alive, today would be his birthday. He'd be 68. And, as his birthday always reminds me today is Hitchhiker's Guide "Towel Day". Douglas Adams, thanks for all the fish! 42.

Deleting my previous sarcasm to wish them well for a good cause.

So this comes under the heading of "things I was told". Accept it or not, as is your pleasure. But, it is true. 

NLG was as you could imagine very excited to have Patrick writing scenes she would share with Lane Davies. And, then when the taping was concluded, she was entirely & completely dissatisfied with the result. Now, I tell this for one reason only because it is so totally "Nancy"!!! It is what it is. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Now this is a totally minority position here, which is not a problem. But, I have no problem seeing romantic & sexual chem in the two actors, even though as noted I object to their perspective on doing scenes their characters would tend to have. So, this ...
