I would have wanted this for any of the characters of colour before this social media shitstorm. But, now? It'd be too reactionary. The closest we got was Patrick Mulcahey penning Marshall's schizophrenia diagnosis in-connection to his race.

6.24.2024

HW: Patrick Mulcahey & Elizabeth Korte

BDW: Emily Culliton

HW: Kate Hall

DIR: Jillian DeDote

As today, several opening head shots were updated or introduced:

• Sonny (updated)
• Michael (updated)
• Tracy (NEW)
• Violet
• Curtis (updated)
• Willow
• Elizabeth
• Kristina (NEW)
• Spinelli
• Anna (updated)
• Jason
• Maxie
• Sasha (updated)
• Cody (updated)
• Diane (updated)
• TJ (updated)
• Nina (updated)
• Carly (updated)
• Dex (updated)
• Drew
• Dante 
• Brook Lynn
• Chase (updated)
• Ava

So Carly thinks Cates Held Jason Hostage for 3 years and Carly seriously thought about stabbing Cates. What am I watching? The Finn/Tracy/Q stuff and Even Sonny/Natalia/Kraze stuff is good.

Carly is gonna F up this for Anna/Cates/Jason.

Molly & TJ are talking sense again

I hope they find a way to keep Adam J Harrington (Cates) once Pikeman is wrapped up.

It sounds like Maura is slowly being written off the show, and she is not allowed to tell people that she is leaving. Finn is going first, then Valentin, and then Ava. 

I don't think Maura West would agree to do Zooms and answer GH questions carefully if she were being written out.

Nor would she attend the Daytime Emmys.

Despite the fact that they give out carefully worded "spoilers" that are really previews once a week, their minds are firmly made up that fans should not know what's going to happen until it happens on the screen. Agree with them, or not, it is a valid point of view & they are entitled to attempt to enforce it. After all, it only makes sense that they should try to control the flow of information.

I'd love to go back to the non-spoiler days and those times when we actually be shocked at what's on our screens.

Carly was so close to stabbing him!!! 

Tracy is unbelievable! 

Plus, Diane, called to the Qs late one night, having NO IDEA why she was being summoned. That dame can size up a situation faster than anyone else, ever, anywhere. 

And, yes, first time I've not detested Natalia.

Spin took care of business! Who would ever have thought that Spinelli could talk Carly out of going directly to Cates & turn herself in?!!!

Molly wasn't talking nonsense before but TJ was & now he is making sense again.

But, he's turned out to be so incredibly stupid!!

I can definitely see how that could be .... uh, desirable circumstances & not because of shocking moments per se, but, just because everything wouldn't hashed out before it even occurs in the fictional universe!!!

Yes, given the writing looked like those characters were heading for their ends. With PM out, I can see FV trying to keep them. The only one out of those 3 that I would keep is Ava. And that's cuz of Maura's talent. 

 

And yay for updates!!!

I really enjoyed Tracy's scenes with Finn. She is golden.

It's too bad I don't care about Finn or that brat.

Traci is always gold.

Jane Elliott is just so good. She's the heart of GH right now. Genie Francis should share that honor with her, but Laura is so poorly/weirdly written that Genie isn't even in the competition.

I cared about Finn for 1o minutes a few weeks ago. Then that feeling went away.

I still feel  Genie shares the heart of GH with Jane but I do agree her current story is wonky. At least Genie still shows Laura's humanity. I do wonder how GF feels about her current story.

That ENORMOUS list -- 24 names!!! -- tells you everything that's wrong about the opening.

I rewound to watch it again, and many of the updates are good ones, but each photo should get a moment to make an impression, and that doesn't happen. Two seconds later, you forget who was in the open.

Y&R gives us 8 headshots, and that means each actor gets that moment. You then have an idea who's going to appear on that episode.
