GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Most people here have a much better knowledge of how it works behind the scenes, but does NLG's guarantee's have something to do with Alexis covering so much ground in one day?  Is it more budget friendly to put all of her scenes in one day as opposed to three?  Obviously I assume the answer is yes, so maybe that's why some characters travel all over town in one day instead of spreading it out.

I wish someone would tell Willow THAT it was Spencer, Trina and Laura that saved the day in Greenland & NOT Drew.

I would say todays GH set up a lot of stuff but with PM gone will it actually lead anywhere?

Prediction: Drew & Nina continue having sex. Drew & Willow start having sex. All this comes out prior to the election in November.

It would be so funny if in the end Patrick came out and said he quit and actually wasn't fired. People act like the witch from the Wizard of Oz came and fired him and told him to never go back to the land of General hospital. I bet if it ends up that he left... these same people will be the first to say - Well... he quit, because they were going to fire him anyways.

THE WITCH

Patrick, I forbid you to ever, EVER set foot on these lands ever again, you talented dialogue writer! 

PATRICK

But why?

THE WITCH

Because everyone expected you to fix this show in 3 days! And it's your fault it's not fixed! Do you hear me? It's your fault! Even though the show has been in a downfall for years!

PATRICK

So where should I go now?

THE WITCH

Go back to Bold and The Beautiful. Write for that sex scandal dude! We don't want you here - we only respect PROVEN head writers! BYE. Come back when you can assure us we can climb to N1 spot in the ratings!

@Maxim I heard PM was given atonomy at GH but that quickly changed. FV wanted dome what he wanted. EK is a YES woman. PM is not a YES man. So wheter he walked or got fired its probably better for his mental health, however, not good for GH

-- I agree with Contessa about Maura West. I don't think she's going anywhere.

-- So everyone is out running in the park in the same hour? Cool.

-- Maxie isn't ready to have sex with Spinelli yet? GMAB.

-- I think Patrick Mulcahey quit. I don't believe he was promised "automony" of any kind. He was hired as CO-Head Writer, for one thing. For another, he's been around long enough to know the power structure at GH.

Ugghhh why couldn’t Sonny have a manic episode in today’s show? 

And, are they really gonna go there with Drew and Willow? 

I wouldn’t mind it, especially if it just turns out to be a revenge plot to get back at Nina.

I will miss these longer scenes. Dante and Kristina was a great scene today. DZ should be one of the leads on the show, not relegated because Frank doesn’t get him. I don’t get why we see so much of Dex, and that eye isn’t helping.

Cliffhanger watch- Sonny approaching Dex should have been the end of the episode. Even if I don’t care about that story, it should have been a set up for the next day.

It's not the format that feels old; I love the longer, character based scenes; that's what these shows should be about.  It's the content, the stories. For example, having a female character go from being a public spokesmodel for a cosmetic firm to pitching hay in a barn and becoming a private cook is not exactly the zeitgeist of 2024. 

Mulcahey trying to shoehorn characters into his old plots feels lazy. Trying to turn Drew into Guiding Light's Ross is ridiculous. Having Willow have an affair with him is equally ridiculous; the actress doesn't have the skill to pull that dark, total change of character off convincingly.

The best thing to do with these characters is to write them off, but since apparently the producers wouldn't let him do that, we're left with these half-hearted attempts to write for them. Mulcahey is just dusting off his old scripts. Is that because the producers wouldn't let him do more, or is that because he's burned out? I guess we'll never know.

I moved to Chicago 6 years ago after living in Texas for my 1st 27 years.

 

I learned recently that Olive Garden is trashy. Growing up we had to dress up in 'our sunday best' when we went (while Uncle Mike played Dixie Land using his armpit and Aunt Stevie tossing the breadsticks to all of us like they were darts).

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
