GH: July 2024 Discussion Thread

I did pull out extremes. Respectfully, so did you when you mentioned the "criminally insane" and "ordinary hardened criminals."

The bottom line is that none of this works for me if it's just an excuse to get Heather released from prison.

Okay, I see that as just listing two different types of criminals, not particularly extreme. Like Original Recipe & Extra Crispy!

And, I don't think that's where we're going. I've thought that this whole time but now the show seems to be indicating it.

So you think they're doing all this just to leave Heather in prison?

Yep. I think they explored the issues & different people expressed slightly varying points of view & now they've concluded to go with Heather's impulse - and wishes - and that happens to be not taking a risk of danger to the common good.

I have more than a few problems with those rankings, but putting Sonny & Carly as the #1 couple is LAUGHABLE.

I have to believe that's an intentional choice just to get people fired up.

Your welcome it's one of my favorite Maxie and Mac scenes it was very on point. I wish I knew who wrote those scenes. 

I'm really happy that KS is in a better place mentally and physically cause it's really coming through onscreen. Patrick was the best thing to happen to Maxie writing wise in a long time. It had been like constant doom and gloom since she lost Nathan especially with that bootleg Julilard [!@#$%^&*] & her being in debt which wasn't remotely believable especially with all the family she has around, Nate's pension.

I am surprised that Jake is leaving. Which writer made the decision to drop Jake?

[Contessa Donatella]

Assuming facts not in evidence. 

Reasons why an actor might be leaving: got another gig, is going back to school, asked for a raise, Frank or Varni decided, a writer decided, ....

Very sad. Similar to Dr. Ruth, who also passed today, he's one of those people who was everywhere, just such a common part of life, back when we had an interconnected culture or society.

I'm glad he went back to GH again in the early '10s, which felt like a nice way to cap off his career - visiting the show that helped make him a star.

This is where I stand on Heather. Alley Mills impressed me during her original stint- she reminded me more of the version Mary O’Brien played. Kind of a needy and manipulative basket case compared to Robin’s more calculating and dangerous version (I am talking original stint). Her last few visits RM played Heather as more of a cartoon IMO (which was the writing).

I didn’t like the Esme retcon, or her being The Hook. If this was RM, who has actual history with all these players (they could even use flashbacks!), I would care more. The effort would be more worth it, because we could get back to the dark manipulator and Robin can be down right chilling when it’s called for. Using the murder hip to bring back that Heather I could at least enjoy.

I don’t care at all about this story as presented now. Because it’s going to lead to more goofy than chilling Heather. The last thing Trina, Alexis, and Laura need is this mess.

Sad news. He had just gotten active on social media again and was telling lovely stories about his time on GH and his plans to make a film about his life.

And while not as progressive as today, he wanted people to be healthy, but he understood and shared the emotional issues many people suffer with involving their weight.

Oh, look, it's not just the "Yes, they're 21" crowd that drinks beer in Port Charles!

Seriously, did Frank get a discount on these fakeass beer bottles?

At least those two actually did drink beers together at Jake’s when they met. Trying to recapture their youth?

Seems like so many folks associated with GH history are passing away.
