GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Michael was told that Abby was injured and went to the hospital she was taken too. When Michael asked what room Abby was in, they sent him to the morgue without telling him that Abby was dead. He only realized that Abby was dead when he realized that he was in the morgue. There is a YouTube clip 12-15-11 Michael and Sam Find Abby is Dead.

I believed at the time that Franco caused the crane accident that killed Abby.

Franco did it?  I don't recall that.  She was not in PC at the time so was he just hoping Abby would walk by an open construction site so a random worker could lose control of the crane at exactly the right time?

Actually, thinking about GH in that time period that it's probably exactly how the show explained it lol.

Lol.  So it actually didn't happen it's just your belief.  Cool.  Anyway, it's an awfully elaborate plan for Franco to just kill a random stripper Michael was dating

Jake's still alive so no one actually murdered him.  Was Franco even around back then?  I thought his last hurrah (James Franco) was blowing up the limo at Sonny and Brenda's wedding and almost killing Sam and making her deaf for 6 episodes.

ETA-totally forgot James Franco was around for Jason/Sam's honeymoon and all that "fun", so i guess he was still a thing.

Now that's what I call diabolical, lol!

I still can't believe they killed someone (off-screen) by dropping a crane on them.  That's Monty Python-level absurd.

I was in a deep GH depression due to VM leaving a few months earlier and thought Abby just disappeared.  But, no, her and Michael were still an item.  And they killed her off months later.  I think it's because the actress was in her mid 30's and Michael was still supposed to be a teenager.  The actress looked really young though, but she was also hired by Sam to sleep with Michael after his prison rape so it's real weird.  But she wasn't a prostitute.  Just doing Sam a solid.  The character of Abby is just a wild ride.

So Michael was having trouble interacting with females his age due to his time in prison (can't remember if we knew he was raped at the time, don't think so, but heavily implied).

Michael went to Sam and asked her to find him a prostitute so he could get his first time over with and be more confident.  Sam for some unknown reason agreed to this request. Abby was one of Sam's friends from the strip club (they knew one another through her PI work).  Sam "hired" Abby to sleep with Michael.  Abby didn't take any money, wasn't a prostitute, and had a heart of gold.  Michael freaked out at their first attempt at sex, but Abby continued to hang out with him.  I think Abby had an abusive bf at some point that Michael rescued her from. Eventually they became a couple and were kind of cute.  They date for awhile and she stops stripping and may or may not have worked for Tracey or the Q's?  She was on business trip somewhere when she got hit by the crane.

Also there is a great Sonny scene where he meets Abby at the hospital after the BUS CRASH of 2011 and knows she's a stripper because she's wearing fishnet stockings.  Seriously.  Oh, Guza

It also should be noted that Michael was in HIGH SCHOOL at the time him and Abby/Candy* met.  He was over 18 though because he was held back a year because of the whole murdering Claudia/prison thing.

*Candy was her stage name because of course.

And yet they tried to put it over for close to a year or something! Like she was a regular character for awhile. It was wild, but tbh when I heard Sam had hired a chick to sleep with Michael to heal him from a prison rape, knowing Sam in those days I was like 'yep, checks out.'

    • Well, they usually weren't on the show at the time for long until the late 90's. But yeah, they really deserved a story centered on them, and not through the lens of Reva.
    • Chelsea was doing the absolute most today! Why was she introducing her sister to a woman she doesnt know? That whole scene was embarrassing. Madison needs to stay away from her bc she is too immature
    • Gosh, what a waste with Lunacy. Why have her live with $B, reveal Finn, pardon her, etc What makes this story incredibly hollow is that what Luna is asking isn't unreasonable - to spend time with her cousin father. She's not asking to move in with them. How hard with it be for Finn to throw her a bone by, say, I'll meet you for lunch/coffee once at week at the hospital cafeteria. Lunacy isn't going to hurt Finn. In fact, all her crimes were related to finding her father and it turns out to be someone she's loved her entire life. Instead of course-correcting the nonsense of last summer, Brad somehow found a way to make this worse! That's a skill... Of all the younger actors B&B has cast during the past 5 years, LY has shown the most growth and range. Why get rid of her? 
    • On the subject of sets (seems more interesting to discuss than the actual show)  Some sets we don't see anymore Lauren/Michael apartment (haven't seen that in years) Victoria's house (are Marian/Tessa living there?) Apartment above Crimson Lights (I think Chelsea was the last resident) Penthouse (Lily's home) Chancellor Estate (Devon/Abby) Chancellor office (once Dark Horse) Nick's house GCAC room (used as residence/hotel room for several characters) Some of these may pop up again. The tack house,for example, was not seen for many months before being used again. Have I missed anything?
    • Thanks for searching through everything. Worked on them so long, just too lazy to check for those links myself, so I am glad you chose to do it! I guess I never did type out anything for 1973-1977 in regards to the preemptions, but they are on the charts at least (and this far back, they don't seem to do any of those "breakouts" anymore, so things are simpler in the 1970's, so eventually I could type those out). 
    • I dump on the Y&R sets problem all the time, but BOLD is no better -- and they're not even introducing new sets. All of their sets are years old, and very few look like they're inhabited by people with money. Is that going to change with this move? I'd rather they save the money spent on another remote, which is no better than an HGTV travelogue, and get some new/better sets.
    • The donut posts here make up for a Friday show that was barely meh. Aside from seeing Anna, I really didn't care much about anything else. While I understand the thought behind breaking up all the sadness with "other scenes," I'd rather they moved right to John's funeral. Instead of hearing a stupid story about John changing some minor character's tire 20 years ago, just move on to the crying. I also thought the Chad and Cat scenes were a waste. I realize not everyone is devastated by John's death to the point of not functioning, but going sky diving is a choice. By the way, Jack and Jennifer are giving me nothing on this return. Please leave asap. DAYS did such a great job with John's death, so ending the week this way was a letdown.
    • Add Dr. Montgomery to list of fine women on this show! I hope the show goes forward with Madison/Chelsea and then once they're developed, bring back Allison, who is now divorced or a widow, for a Madison/Chelsea/Allison triangle.  It would definitely be the hottest triangle in daytime.  
    • I wonder if Linda Bloodworth-Thomason had Kim in mind for any of her other characters/series. If they intended Allison Sugarbaker (Julia Duffy's character) to be more in line with who Suzanne was/Delta Burke's portrayal-persona, then I think Kim would have aced that. Yes, it would have been odd, Kim having previously played a different character (from a different family), but Designing Women wouldn't have been the first show with that issue. Or maybe Kim could have played Beth Broderick's role on Hearts Afire. Or Patricia Heaton's role on Women of the House.
    • Sony is probably waiting until Y&R’s lease is up as well. All of TV City is going to be gutted, so they have to relocate at some point.
