GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Liberty City]

In some re-watching, I don't hate what they did... there was just zero intensity in their writing, and that's where the problem remains.

I don't remember thinking it was awful, but frankly I don't remember it much at all.  What was a standout story for you?

[Liberty City]

The "All About Ava" episode stands out. They did a fine job with that episode and, of course, Maura West owned it from the moment the episode began to the moment the episode ended. And I can't say that for everyone that appeared in that episode.

Yes, she is. Retired, I mean. I had a conversation with her that literally blew my mind. It was about "Lumina" at the end of AW. She said, "Yes, Lumina, Leah & I wrote that together. (I agreed with her.) And, then she dropped this, "It was weird." MY GOD, of course it was but if the two of them knew that, at the time, why in Fuque did they write the damned thing? Who wanted it? Sounds like they didn't & the fans certainly DID NOT. Anyway, Off-topic, sorry. 

No, most of us certainly Are Not. 

Total agreement about Peacock, James Caan, VM choices but I find more to watch than you do on Paramount+. I'll try to think of titles.

And All about Ava episode does not sound like an episode for me

This is way off topic, but wasn't AW just trying to keep up with Days and JER wackiness at the time?   

[Liberty City]

Haha it was for me; West is Queen! Haha. And while Passanante may not be for everyone, I do feel like she gave what she could for West, given their time together on World Turns.

[Contessa Donatella]

You could be right. In that perspective then it was NBC who wanted the damn story, At the very least we got a fabulous masked ball out of it. Now, I am serious about going back ON topic.

I do feel we will see More Trina/Portia/Stella/Curtis/Jordan/Blaze and Kristina with CVE back

 

I am wondering why promote Cathy LePard to Assoc HW after a year.  is her first daytime soap. Hopefully she is a good fit. 

[Contessa Donatella]

If you think that about Kraze, then can you possibly explain to me how they have screwed up so badly right now. I mean, GMAB, do they need a lesbian consultant to the writing team? There is NO WAY Ali (Blaze) would have left the hospital with Kristina in ICU & the OR!!! Do only Kraze fans see how ridiculous the current situation is?

[John]

CVE did create Kraze

[Contessa Donatella]

Sorry, he did not.

It is a well-kept secret who created Kraze. That is because it came about during the strike & the individual who thought them up doesn't want to get in hot water with the WGA. We, Kraze fans, even have a graphic showing the Kraze creator as a mystery man. We often post thanking him, whoever he is.

This. 

[Vee]

Sure is unusual, ain't it?

[Taoboi]

Yawn.  That again?

 

Agree. 

 

I was enjoying Sonny and Jason being held accountable again. And I was definitely interested in seeing how Anna/Laura vs Sonny would go. And the fact they were slowly setting him up parallel to Val setting Sonny up. 

[carolineg]

It's very specific and not a real thing, so, yes, it is strange lol. 

I love this board and I am not knocking anything about it.  I just wonder why posters come on here specifically to troll.  Is it fun or entertaining?  Most of us can spot it from a mile away.
