GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

Yeah, and that's why I don't really blame ELR.  She seems confused about how to play the character.  She doesn't think Natalia is homophobic, but she is.  She doesn't think she's bad, but I think she is.  It has to be difficult to play a character that is so loosely thought out.

It's an experience I thought I'd never have lol.  But, honestly, they are entertaining.

I think the recent scripts are pretty clear on exactly what kind of stealth homophobe and stage mom she is, and it's a compelling portrait in that way for me of a very specific modern type of that kind of character. But this is a soap opera, not Josh Griffith's Y&R, so unless that is backed up with action and actual schemes I don't need to keep watching her going around town conducting the BLQ Inquisition. Act and heat up the story or leave.

It's so strange what they are doing to Sasha.  Not that she was ever a fully fleshed out character but she seems uncultured?  backwoods?  country?  I am not even sure.  As a Deception model for years I would think she would be more chic and modern, but she isn't at all.  I think it's supposed to come off humble or something, but it really just makes no sense.

That's fair.  I still don't really see the point of the character unless she's going to hook up with Sonny or something lol.  I am not advocating that or anything but she's pretty lame as far as Kristina/Blaze obstacles.

Ha!  She does talk slowly, but I always thought it was because English wasn't Sophia Mattson's first language.   I am pretty sure Sasha is supposed to be from upstate NY and not from a farm in Kentucky.  I really don't know much about upstate NY, so it is entirely possible she just cooked and hung out with horses, but.....seems unlikely.

If this was the Guza II era she would absolutely be tested with Sonny and then flung aside like Claire, that rando Jordan, Reese, etc. lol. But I don't think the show is really going there at all.

I had no idea, you could've fooled me. I just often mean she speaks strangely period lol.

I had no idea who the hell Georgie was til they said her name lol

This Aidan looks more like Rebecca Herbst. I think people were too harsh on the last kid but I’m not sad to see him gone

So many characters in these Deception scenes in the middle of the Q living room 

Sasha is just a weird character, I wish they’d write her off

Frankly, I don't think you have to worry about that.  Something tells me CM will soon be too busy pumping out movies and other stuff for Great Aryanmerican Family to give GH his undivided attention.

I'd have to agree.  Then again, I've always been one who felt Alexis shouldn't have had any children.

    • 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.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
