GH: July 2024 Discussion Thread

-- Nothing about Perez Hilton's appearance felt real/genuine. He was stilted and charmless on a terrible blanched-out set. That off white couch with the beige walls was boring and awful.

-- Who the hell dressed Blaze for that appearance? She's a young musical star who dresses like a 45-year old?

-- The Metro Court lobby set is fantastic. Compare that to the Grand Phoenix lobby on Y&R, which was a joke.

-- However, the glory of that MC lobby went away when they showed us the outside entrance, which is embarrassingly bad.

-- Laura Wright's new haircut looks good.

-- Maura West looked fire in black. And how many in this cast are on Ozempic?

The thing about Natalia, it seems to me, hinges entirely on whether they've got a redemptive arc coming up for her. She's not been given enough of the blame & that is apparently just going to stand but if she evolves & shows a bigot becoming no longer bigoted then they can keep her if that's their aim. 

Cates is just terminally stupid & he's been after Sonny & an ancient grudge this whole time. 

Jarly is something really special. 

I don't get why people are bothered at Kristina saying she's gay. IRL lots of times people say they are bi & it turns out to be a stage on a journey where gay is the ultimate destination. 

And, with that, July Sweeps is now over. Going by today Finola, Laura & Steve could all take Performer of the Month!

The last 3 episodes have been pretty solid IMO after last week ended with two snoozefests back to back.

I like that Jagger has gone full Sonny vengeance mode, much more interesting and I love his teaming up with Ava. I was team Anna in their scenes he’s let the vendetta go too far and while she shouldn’t have let Valentine go free she’s right about him abusing his power with Jason.

LOVED the Sonny and Carly scenes from Tuesday where she told him she wasn’t gonna clean up his mess anymore. The Jason and Carly scenes today were fantastic as well, I will always be a Jarly fan first. LW has been acting her behind off. I can’t wait for Carly to give Jagger the dragging he deserves.

Great stuff with Jason and Danny as well, poor kid just wants to be with his dad.

I love their dynamic right now. They haven’t been playing this feud enough and I need more.

Pigrez Hilton was not needed and I hate how they’ve rectoned Kristina into being lesbian only. I think I’m alone in liking Natalia and I feel like the outrage at her character is a bit much. 
 

Tracy’s scenes Tuesday grieving Luke with Ned and Sonny were great. Jane Elliot really has been the shining star of this regime.

I hear you about Natalia evolving.

However, we've seen time and time again that soap viewers want a redemption arc that makes sense. We don't respond to "She really wasn't to blame." We don't respond to "We all make mistakes, don't we"?

When Kristina said that, I gagged. If that's true, why can't we call Ava's recording a mistake? Why hold anyone accountable for anything?

Perez Hilton was bad enough. Then you add on propping like I have not seen. Jesus this show and the person running it.

It is not the audience’s fault that Sonny doesn’t have a woman right now and you are desperate to keep Natalia to have someone for him to flirt with. She is absolutely worse than Ava in this situation. Instead of doing the work to have her come around and learn, they just want us to forget she was the homophobe in the first place!

They have got to stop taking the wrong step every time. Whatever is compelling them to do this has to go. I don’t think I have ever seen GH fans hate every story they are telling consistently right now- Heather, Jason/Carly, and Natalia’s fallout.

This isn't even about that. FV just wanted to hire Eva LaRue (Mark Teschner told us so) and now wants her viable to remain.

I don't blame Eva, who is playing this woman to the hilt. She's not the issue, it's the character and the show.

I knew she was going to be propped as soon as all the Sonny scenes started. Who knew it was going to go this badly? And I have no problem with Eva. It’s the show. I hesitate to even blame the writing, because the way this is going screams Valentini interference to me.

There's no way Mulcahey would've gone along with this. I assume he's pretty much long gone in anything but name only, and I'm barely getting through catching up with the rest of July myself so I will be dropping til Jonathan turns up.

Sadly, that practice appears to be slowly returning.

Not looking forward to it. 

Well we had it gone for a good stretch re: propping. 

 

Alas...

 

Same. It definitely ain't Eva.

 

Cuz the fallout could have been more juicy than it is now.

    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • 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.
