GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

Well Sally was getting it in the end (or as fans during that time called it everything after the L.A. episodes) it was just sad that it was as she was on the way out the door. 

 

Yep. Actively stalling at play it would seem per today's news.

 

 

[Khan]

Enjoy it while it lasts.  It'll be gone again soon enough.

Yeah, it seems Frank actually preferred the whole "Jason is brainwashed/the password is 'Susan Moore'" crap that's been rumored, lol.

[Taoboi]

Exactly. 

 

Stalling aside, we were getting community again. 

Yep...FV has shown his slip.

 

And now that I've seen the Emperor is indeed without any clothes on, I cannot unsee. 

 

And all this because he wants to keep his friend Val employed rather then given him an excellent exit story?

 

Definitely shaken.

 

And sadly the truth partly revealed. A shame. PM won't get the chance to show something great. 

 

 

Which would have gone on for two years before there was anything resembling a climax.

 

God, I am loathing him something fierce today. 

[Contessa Donatella]

So about today, on the show, ... again I liked the extravaganza of this wedding. I particularly liked the picture taking. In one fell swoop they made the character Gio older than the actor. He has completed 2 years of college. So he can hang with Joss & Trina. 

LOTD goes to Maxie, to Natalia, "You don't get invited to a lot of parties, do you?"

Second runner-up is Pure Schmaltz Spinelli: "Was there a bride at the wedding? Because all I could see was you." 

Sam enlisted Spinelli to investigate the FBI! 

Carly was in the opening but not in the show. 

Poignant: Gregory to Tracy: I sometimes wonder what life would have been like if I had met you when I was 25. 

[carolineg]

Yeah.  I basically lost any hope I had.  I wasn't enjoying PM's work, but I had optimism it would get better.  And now I don't.

I wish PM got to see one story through or get rid of 5 or 10 characters lol.  

PM was obviously not a Frank choice and it seems PM was stymied at every turn on purpose to force him out so FV could get his vision back.  It's very frustrating.  I am at the point where I actually miss Guza lol.

[Taoboi]

*gasps* Not Guza!

[Khan]

Yep.  I'm sure TPTB will spin it another way, but...c'mon...we know what went down, lol.

I'm sorry to say that I'm at that point as well.  Love him or hate him, but he wouldn't have put up with Frank's crap.  He would've pushed through with his vision and dared Frank to say boo about it.

[Vee]

Oh, I would love to see Frank and Guza battle it out. Guza's cachet with GH is a lot more recent than Mulcahey's, though PM is no wallflower.

[Khan]

With scenes running an average of 45 seconds.

The thing is, if you're gonna tell a story that spans that amount of time, then you have to keep up the momentum and the suspense - ESPECIALLY when you have scenes so freaking short! - something that FV's GH just can't do, regardless of who is nominally the HW.

[carolineg]

Yep.  And at least I know there would have been a car bomb or shoot out at this wedding and possible casualties if Guza was around.  I am not advocating violence, but I think we all can agree the purge is needed.  And, hey, I know Guza likes VM and Brenda and would give me a little hope on that front.  Now, I am just depressed waiting for the Roger Howarth re-hiring.

[Khan]

Trust me, it'd end with Guza being handcuffed and taken downtown by police (sitting right next to LW, who just couldn't anymore with Trevor St. John).

[carolineg]

Why not?  At least things actually happened right or wrong.  

[Khan]

Someone: "Bite your tongue!"

Me: "No, bite YOUR tongue, 'cuz you know it's happening!"

ICAM!  I despised the hero worshipping of Sonny and Jason, but at least GH wasn't so bland!

[Taoboi]

Them facts.

 

I kid, I kid!!! At this point he is looking better...AND BRENDA would be back so I would be fine with it. 

 

I am someone and someone is me.

What GH desperately needs is a producing team like Wendy Riche and Shelley Curtis to come in and reshape the show from the ground up like they had to do in 1992-1993. There would be some dark days and growing pains - but with enough care, you could get a respectable core and focus again. 

Unfortunately, execs and audiences don’t have that type of time or patience anymore, and no one with any power cares.
