GH: May 2024 Discussion Thread

To be fair, I did defend SM/Sasha a lot in the beginning and always thought she had potential.  But I am 100% over it now.  Sasha will still always be better than Willow in my eyes though.  It's very faint praise.

I just think both Donna and James are the cutest kids in the world and I basically dislike all children.  Leo is fine too.

TBH, I'm hard-pressed to name any pre-teen or teen actor that I enjoy watching on any series.  Nothing against 'em, I just think it's rare to find an actor that age who can act convincingly despite having limited acting and life experiences.

That's why I've always looked at SORASing as a necessary evil.  The sooner you can get a character out of their awkward years and into more mature storylines (hopefully, played by a mature actor), the better.

I can understand wanting Aiden to look older, but this nuAiden is NO better than the old one in the acting department. Yeah, it's only day one, but this kid is stiff as hell.

And what's up with making him look so awkward with that backpack? So he's gay and he bakes. Does he have to be so dorky? On a show that always thinks it's pushing against conventions, GH sure does play the greatest cliche hits a lot.

I'd rather see no gay storylines on this show than to watch this mess or watch Natalia the 1985 homophobic mother.

Tristan's first day as Adian and he does have more acting exp than Enzo. Maybe thats why given the bullying story they wanted a new actor

I do not find Natalia's homophobia unrealistic given her culture

so because Aidan dresses "Dorky" what ever that means

and that Natalia is homophobic GH shouldnt have any LGBTQ stories. WTF....That is nonsense.

There are still homophobes in 2024 sadly

People regardless of Sexuality and gender identity have their own style of dress

New Aiden is worse. He doesn't even play "Dorky" well. He was awful.

Today's show was a hot mess. GH is in trouble. Their ratings are free falling. Even @Errol said people should be worried about the show. It's not good.

I know Lucy has always been a polarizing character, but are viewers actually supposed to be hating her or rooting against her for ciphers? Why? 

Is Katybell the secret third head writer some have been talking about?

Honestly, I always thought that I’d be saying this only about episodes of Days but today was a weird one. 

I think I get what they were trying to do, trying make everyone feel like a part of a big community, but it just felt weird. 

And Michael and Willow going off to screw didn’t really seem to fit in today’s episode either.

    • A new day in Salem… and a new day for Days.  I like the way everybody found out and absorbed the news about John’s death, and how they all eventually found their way to Marlena’s to offer their condolences. I’m not particularly sure why they waited until the next day to tell everybody but I don’t really mind it.  We finally got Roman’s perspective! His scenes with Kayla were one of the best parts of today. I’m glad that Roman is thankful for everything that John did for his kids. I agree with posters who said that he should’ve had a scene like this with John, but I’m happy we got this at least.  Julie was used very well today too. She’s definitely the best person for Marlena to have scenes with at the moment. Hopefully, Julie continues to be there for her. And yes, I totally agree with Marlena and Belle sending EJ away when he came to the apartment. I’m curious to see what’s going to happen to his and Belle’s relationship in the aftermath of all this. And, while I enjoyed most of Brady and Kristen’s scenes, I still think the ship has sailed for them. Hopefully, the aftermath of John’s death causes Brady to finally end this thing with her once and for all.  And, I see a lot of people were wearing some kind of shade of purple today.

    • Wow, I love that current and former actors are participating in this. I barely recognize Staci Greason! She looks fine, just very different. But I will be happy to hear anecdotes from her. I shipped RoJohn and Isabella hard back in the day, and I sobbed buckets in my dorm room at college when Izzy B passed. Honestly, I'm interested in everyone's stories. Drake seemed like he was well loved among the cast.
    • When she first appeared, I was sure she was setting Tyrell up for a prank. She was too much of a manic pixie dream girl- I wasn't surprised Tyrell also became suspicious. Now I'm not so sure. If Jessica genuinely likes Tyrell, it seems like a missed opportunity to not have started her out as a bully, then we see her gradually catch feelings for Tyrell.  The McBrides are definitely the "C" family of BTG. They always get last priority. There have been a few times where the Doug/Vanessa/Joey characters reference off screen conversations which seem too important to not show us. Like when Doug thanked Joey for giving him extra time to pay off the loan. When did that happen? Or when we abruptly moved from Vanessa/Joey at Uptown to Vanessa/Doug in the hotel room. The McBrides don't even have their own set - even though Vanessa is a realtor. It's a shame because I am a fan of the characters and actors.

      I am also adjusting to KR as Ted but I feel that AM and MJ had way more chemistry as father and daughter than AM and KR. We saw Eva dream of having a real relationship with MJ's version of Ted for months so it's a bit of a bummer not to have that payoff with the original actor except for those scenes in MJ's last episode.  Something I noticed about Eva today is how she takes genuine delight in being a schemer. As badly as she wants to be a Richardson, she still has so much of her mom in her. It was jarring seeing her earnestly promise to steer clear of Leslie in her scene with Ted, then immediately switch attitudes when her mom showed up.  I'm very surprised with how quickly the accident story has been moving along. I was sure that it would be months if not years before people figured out it was Leslie on the motorcycle, not to mention responsible for the potassium overdose. I'm looking forward to seeing how MVJ and Guza avoid writing Leslie into a corner.  Finally, I have been loving the Articulettes story. Bonita Brisker was just the right amount of OTT - remember Sharon is supposed to be even more angry than Tracy is. If Sharon didn't come in swinging, people would say she fell flat. The way Sharon and Tracy describe the breakup is so Supremes-meet-Original Recipe Destiny's Child. I get the sense that MVJ is re-writing the Return to Love Tour as a roman a clef, and I love it. I'm looking forward to finding out what the secret they share is. If Dante Green is as shady as Berry Gordy was, it's something dark. If/when they go through with the reunion, I expect Dante to show up and claim to own the Articulettes trademark in a Lou Pearlman-esque twist. 
    • Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

    • I started a separate thread for the same tribute, but of course it can be discussed wherever. doesn't matter where. Fyi  Jason Cook, Staci Greason, and Eileen Davidson will be there as well as Reckell and some of the current cast Thread for Live tribute to Drake https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/68987-days-currentformer-actors-live-video-tribute-for-drake-hogestyn
    • Seeing Nicole and Martin together reminds me of watching Alice with Mickey Horton in the 90s and 00s. The seem more like peers than mother and son.  The younger half of the cast (35ish and below) is playing younger, and the older half (35+) is playing older.
