Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 9, 2024 Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 I don't think it is within Laura's power to stop this ball from rolling now that anything by anyone has gotten it started. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 9, 2024 Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 Right but Portia was saying Robert would want it reopened and that would be Heathers atty and not the DA 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted July 9, 2024 Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 -- Glad I was wrong about the Cody/Mac reveal would be a fake-out. Both John J. York and Josh Kelly played those scenes well. The Maxie/Cody scenes were good, too. -- GH is trying WAY too hard to tell us that Gio, Joss, and Trina are 21. How many beers do they have to open and carry around? The dialogue about the 4th of July in Bensonhurst was beyond dreadful. That conversation could not have been more boring. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 9, 2024 Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 Portia was neither thinking nor listening, just reacting. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted July 9, 2024 Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 John J. York and Josh Kelly were the MVPs today. Mac’s reaction to Cody was so realistic and genuine. I’m so glad that John J. York is doing so well and is back on the canvas. And look at how far Josh Kelly/Cody has come lol remember how much we all couldn’t stand him when he made his debut. The Portia vs. Laura over Heather thing is just stupid though. I really hope that that storyline gets dropped. And, maybe I’m just hearing what I want to hear but that comment that Drew made to Willow about things being different for them if they had met at a different time makes me thing even more that this is all just elaborate revenge plot against Nina. Btw, all the Bensonhurst stories we’ve been hearing on GH lately are all so inaccurate, it’s not even funny. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted July 9, 2024 Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 (edited) I agree. All we really know about Willow is that she's Nina's long-lost daughter and the lady who (allegedly) beat cancer. You don't think sex with Michael would be hot? Please register in order to view this content I can see it now: Drew seduces Willow; Willow leaves Michael for Drew; Willow learns Drew only seduced her in order to get back at Nina; Willow begs Michael to take her back; Michael tells Willow to kick rocks (and maybe hooks up with Sasha, which angers Cody); Willow ends up shooting (and maybe killing) Drew; Nina takes the rap for Willow; Willow realizes how much Nina actually loves her; Nina and Willow's relationship as mother and daughter grows deeper. Okay, enough with the boat metaphors, we get it, lol! ICAM!! I agree. Even if Michele Val Jean is looking to bring along some fresh, young talent BTS, she'll also need seasoned vets (such as her old friend, PM) to help get her creation off to a solid start.

Members Liberty City Posted July 9, 2024 Author Members Share Posted July 9, 2024 I didn't say that. Mhmm. The moment The Gates was announced I had that feeling... and then Mulcahey is out sometime later? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 I saw some tweets claiming that the show was trying to make Portia seem irrational or like the crazy black woman in her confrontation with Laura (seeing one scene, the complaints seemed to be Laura's tone with her, including finger-pointing, other characters commenting on her behavior, Liz being so aghast that she held her hand to her chest like Olive Oyl). I don't know what the show has in mind, but it does seem like they struggle to not frame anyone who is unhappy about springing a de-hipped Heather as in the wrong. I wonder if their fondness for Alley Mills overshadows any reality that this character should not have any support beyond whatever killer clowns live in the Port Charles sewers. I also saw a lot of hostility toward Cody. As someone who never got the Josh Kelly hype when he was all over OLTL failing a charisma test while wearing the same ill-fitting (hopefully washed) underpants the Fords were put in every other day, I thought he and John J York did well enough in those reveal scenes. It's nice to see JJY get some meaty material. And it's always fun when a script seemingly has to admit how stupid a previous storyline that led them to this point was. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 I can assure you that there is a large, loud body of people who are furious with Laura over this & who were cheering Portia on. The only blip in that is that Portia is apparently going to skate entirely on her related hypocrisy. She got very cozy with Esme, trying to facilitate a romance between Esme & Spencer, to get him away from Trina. And, it was ALL Esme who so badly wronged Trina. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 I don't really care for Portia so I'd be fine with her being called out (I suppose the show just wants to move on from Esme, as they have moved on from Spencer as well as Trina). I do wonder if the show is using her in part to try to make viewers feel sorry for Heather. I think they assume viewers are on Heather's side, or they just don't care if viewers are or not. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 Portia Confronting Laura, I get Portia dragging Liz into it and overreacting when she walked in the room was too much And Yes I still find Portia a hypocrite cause she wanted to help Esme get back with Spencer so she would take him & Ace out of PC. Esme Drugged her daughter & framed her for revenge porn. Portia should never want to talk to Esme again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 I am conflicted. I want Portia to be called out on this! And, as to what the show's POV, or goal, or anything about what they're writing & producing, ... about Laura, Heather & Portia, I am clueless! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 That Portia/Esme stuff was all the strike IIRC. It's not that serious. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 10, 2024 Members Share Posted July 10, 2024 I also wonder if they were trying to lay the groundwork for Lucky's return with a few mentions today (without directly mentioning him), from Maxie and Portia - if so they managed to not make it seem too forced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
