GH: June 2024 Discussion Thread

My FF button is back to getting liberal use on Hulu. I was willing to stick out scenes with some of these people when they suddenly had dialogue worth watching. Not anymore really.

The only thing that actually makes me want to tune in is Anna/Valentin/Jason. And to get to whatever Ava is up to. The rest of the show is just there again. I might let scenes play that feature other favs, like Liz and Laura, but I’m not really invested in their stories right now.

I'm still enjoying every day. No idea how long that will last. 

On several fronts:

Trio, yes, I now think that Gio is for Trina. I like him, so far, anyway. Now, he's going to be a Junior & Joss & Trina will be seniors & that will work. 

Natalia, I've come to the conclusion that Natalia is going to show us all why PRIDE is needed. I mean, this woman, is so much of a bigot & so anti-love, anti-romance, so audacious, so confident & I cannot wait for her to have to climb down offa that pedestal!!! After her big fall, we will see if she comes around or is useless.

Pikeman, gotta be July sweeps.

Finn, surely is outta there by week after next, latest.

Things will stop being so much about Gregory, about Violet, about ChaLynn, ... 

What else?

I'm done with Finn and the stupid Michael Easton smiles, but if they kill him off, it's a mistake. We've just gone through a major death on the show with days of funeral and grieving, and I don't want to see it again.

Just send him off to rehab and stop mentioning him. And no, I don't care about Violet's reaction no matter what they do.

Yeah… I’ll never understand why non-guests are allowed to use the Metro Court pool lol if I was staying there, I’d be pissed

And, agreed about Gio. I still think he might have been better off as a Cam recast, but he’s pretty good. Hopefully, they’ll end up pairing him with Trina. She needs a storyline and it would be a lot better than wasting him with Joss, who’s already panting at him like a dog in heat. 

And seeing Joss as a lifeguard just makes me think about Britt. Gee, I wonder why

As for Natalia, all I can say is, they swapped out one annoying old lady (Gladys) for another.

I feel like such a downer for not really enjoying anything.  There are still characters I like and that are featured, but my optimism about a changed show is coloring my viewing.  I am not sure if PM was the savior some people think, but at least I was expecting some change.  Now it feels like the same patterns and characters are going to rule for the foreseeable future.

So, I had a gym membership at our local Hilton when I was a teen and could use their pool whenever and bring friends.  I assume you could probably get a health club membership with pool rights at the MC.  We could also charge food and drinks to our gym membership.  My parents loved that. Useless knowledge for the day, you're welcome.

This was in the early 2000's before gym memberships became a real thing, but I am sure the Lake Arrowhead Resort and Spa at the Hilton in CA still hates me to this day for being obnoxious and has tighten up their rules since.

This is GH fans' "punishment" for lavishing so much praise on Frank Valentini (and Ron Carlivati) at the start and not really looking past all the hype and busy work that was going on.  Back then, hardly anyone took the time to see that the emperor truly had no clothes; and now, here we are.

Their early stuff was good.  I liked it.  But Guza did a lot of good work too.  At some point the show outgrows the writer or producer.   The burnout started happening years ago with FV, but here we are completely ignoring ways to make the show better because FV reaches the bare minimum standard as a producer.

Not at all what I said.

I dunno.  I don't think their early stuff was GOOD, so much as it was DIFFERENT, or different from what we had been getting from GH.  But that's just my take.

I don't think ALL their early stuff was good, but I thought there was real effort to save GH around the 50th.  There were returns, excitement, decent plots, call backs to history, etc.  At this point it feels like the show is turning a minimal profit so FV is fine, but no one seems passionate about the show.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
