GH: June 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Thank you so much for clarifying. I had in my mind that it was something like this. Wholesale firings like that, gee, that seems so self-destructive, to me at least. It's as if in an attempt to put your own people in place, you throw out history, perspective, and probably much more. Dan & Chris always seemed somehow thin to me, in their story-telling. Perhaps it came from the whole writing team being strangers to GH. It makes Korte all the more important to the show. And, the point has certainly just been made. GH has won many Emmys in the past 15 years but this was the first time in 15 years that they won for Writing. 

i blame them for being undisciplined, for example, not deciding on a story's conclusion up front but instead making it up as they went along. This applied to Peter, to the Hook, etc. 

Kirsten Storms recently said that when she was with Peter she was pregnant for a year.

I honestly thought the scripts nosedived pretty quick in 2012, but I haven't watched that stuff in ages. Those first six months with Connie, McBain's instant dead sister, etc. were beyond brutal. It was the water crisis in the fall that got me fully hooked. But yes, they did dump virtually all the longtime writers fast.

So, I have missed a weeks worth of episodes at least and watched today live.  Are we supposed to believe Jagger has NO IDEA who Jason's ex-wife is?  Never seen a picture?  I know Jagger was never the sharpest tool in the shed, but wouldn't he get a whole dossier on Jason being his FBI handler and all?

I guess it could all be a ruse on Jagger's part, but Sam was so very specific about her life details too.

Someone told me they thought that he'd been let go but they weren't sure of any details. After they said that I looked at the list of names from the Emmys & he is not listed with the winning team, so, that means not only has he been fired, let go, but it was some time ago. Now, of course, if it is some kind of rehire situation then that would be new news. 

I watch GH daily in a group in Zoom & basically the whole room was like you jumping up & down & saying, WHAT?!!! Jagger would know all of Jason's exes on sight! This is stupid writing! Etc. Plus, I mean, Sweet Jesus, Sam can choose disguises that literally make her stand out in any crowd, can she not?!!! 

Then, besides that, we were all up in arms again, over the handling of Finn! They should be having a formal intervention, not some ad hoc adlibbed attempt to get Violet away from him & leave him there in his messy apartment to drink himself silly!! I can only hope this is for the soapy goodness of the drama & they'll get to the actual Intervention another day.

I thought maybe I missed something in a previous episode where Jagger did know Sam and was faking, but IIRC he didn't actually know who Carly was when he first met her either.  But Sam used her real name and very specific details about Jason including they had a son together and she thought he died.  You would think she would use one of her alias names and say her ex disappeared for awhile and re-appeared.  She even gave the timeline of the divorce.  They actually both are stupid at this point lol.

I agree the way the show handled Finn was very disorganized.  At least round up Alexis, Tracy, Liz, the family, etc and plan something instead of ambushing him and trying to get his awful child.  But neither Brook Lynn or Chase are addiction experts so they clearly just acted in the emergency best interest of the minor child instead of thinking it through.

    • Hours later, I'm still wondering, what was EJ's plan in going to the hospital today? Does he think it's like a car dealership, and you can simply walk in and make an offer? That's why I laughed when Steve said that Dr. not-Rolf comes and goes.  One gets the sense the people in Salem randomly leave their offices, midday, to talk to relatives and co-conspirators.  I understand, they don't use the phone on soaps.  But, the amount of walking these citizens do in a day is remarkable.
    • Look how long it took to finally write Jack an age appropriate long term relationship with a woman he’s had history with since the damn 80’s. 
    • This Sarah/Xander Lake Geneva weekend getaway trip will either be where Xander finds out that Sarah knew about the Phillip situation, or an emergency happens that prevents them from going.  Brownie points for the Lake Geneva mention since that's the getaway for a lot of people that live in northern Illinois/Chicago. EJ is kinda hot... though I never thought that about him when the previous actor played him.  I do think a Dimera owning the hospital would be interesting since the Hortons/Brady's have always had a rivalry with the Dimeras... and carrying that over to the hospital would be organic.
    • In the "things you miss while FFing" category---that 'ho Lillian Raines wanted Ed to keep the affair up and sneak around? Flippin' WHAT THE HELL? Mo should've cut the bitch.
    • Absolutely. And I think Eden could play that in a reduced role, or until a recast comes round. I would easily give her a brainy comic love interest in the Spinelli vein regardless of who is playing Joss. I do think Eden works very hard, and can do certain things well. But I would at the least downshift her and then consider writing her out and bringing on someone else. She is not a lead.
    • I am a couple days behind, but is it just me or do some of the glimpses of Martin's nightmare look like a police traffic stop?  
    • IIRC, there was fan outcry when viewers realized Donna was going to be killed, although someone more in the know might have a better idea. Donna was always more popular with viewers than she probably should have been, which I credit Stuart for. I do agree she would have been easier to write out than Felicia or Rachel.  Cass and Donna dated briefly during the Malone run (late 1997). http://www.anotherworldhomepage.com/cassd.html AW should have invested much more in Quinn than they did. All the pieces were in place for her to, at the very least, have a steady build in importance the way Jessica did on ATWT at that time. AW had moved away from usual patterns by bringing Henrietta and Quinn into the show to diversify the canvas. What always bothers me is the comment an AW person gave to SOD after fan complaints over Quinn's death - essentially, they did not know Quinn had any fans. Says it all.
    • I like that the Martin story hasn't been frequent.  The nightmares are airing only periodically.  Each time, we viewers see more of the accident or whatever happened.  I think we might (or at least I might) be annoyed if we saw the nightmares too often.  At this point, I've become more curious, and so, when it's finally revealed, I think the timing will be just right.
