GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[MissPhoenixGirl92]

Hopefully they'll get Sasha out of that stupid kitchen and have her go back to modeling too. Or maybe have her work at the Metro Court at least. Something that's not so humiliating and embarrassing for her.

I don't think there's anything humiliating or embarrassing about Sasha being the Q chef.  She seems to enjoy it.   I do agree it's a strange choice for the character though.  Working at the Metro Court seems like a good idea, but her leaving the canvas is also a good idea lol.

[MissPhoenixGirl92]

I would be fine with either at this point. I don't really see a point for Sasha to remain on this show at this rate. She can literally walk out the door tomorrow and I won't even blink an eye. The only reason why she's even working for the Qs is so that she could be in a boring romance with the equally useless Cody, (who honestly should not even be Mac's spawn in the first place, but I digress).

Go, Titan, go!!!!

 

Read them a$$$!!!!

 

And same. There would be more grace without the tea about how a certain person has been back AS CO-HW since May. But since we know THAT particular tea...roast that trick. lol.

 

I am sad to hear that we are back to not getting all the points of views for a storyline. And it sounds like the Heather storyline is now the A plot. Which makes me dread starting last week's episodes. I already said that this Heather storyline won't work without the strong backbone PM would have given it (with all points of view), but now...FORGETABOUTIT!!

 

 

Good to hear he is still in scenes with Anna. 

 

Well he definitely has had no scandals this year. Outside of being on the stage with Madonna.

 

Give me the experiment because it sounds like I'm going to roll my eyes versus the nuance, maturity, and sophistication in the dialogue that drew me in. 

 

I'll try my best because I've very much looking forward to the returns, but I feel like I might be hatewatching more than watching. But...if I can make it through slow weeks on Y&R, I'm sure I will be fine here. We'll see.

True.  It's one of those "wink, wink, IYKYK" things that Frank and Ron both do.  It annoys me.  Just say Ricky Martin and don't refence an obscure character from 30 years ago that no one cares about.  It's not like he's Taylor Swift.

My rose today was Ali/Blaze for finally getting her butt in the chair beside Kristina's ICU bed.

My thorn goes to Willow for doing a 180, an about face, to give up her new career & go back to Nursing. This is given especially because I think she is doing it because she is afraid of temptation.

Sasha as the Q family chef never bothered me. The writing was & has continued to be solid.

However, discussing this reminds me I still so badly think this cast needs to be trimmed! 

Mention was made today of "the experiment" I might be more inclined to call it "The Miracle".

I have recently been told by someone who will not tell me what it is that he knows that there are 4 different versions of what happened behind the scenes & my version is one of them. I've got some things right, but not all. I find this maddening. 

[John]

Did they say what the other 3 were?

[ranger1rg]

Ricky Martin is taking some hits here, but he was actually very good in Palm Royale, the Kristin Wiig comedy series, and it's been renewed.

[Contessa Donatella]

Missed the part where I said they wouldn't tell me WHAT THEY KNOW, did you?

Actually the only tea was that Frank was angry & that informed his recent comments. Sounds like common sense to me.

I didn’t mind the Miguel call back, it felt appropriate but maybe would have landed better to tie it into him doing a favor for Lois.

[Soapsuds]

Yup and he was recently on the talk shows promoting the show. He was on The View recently which is on ABC.

They should've said Ricky Martin though instead of his character's name. I wasn't sure it was him they were referring to since I had forgotten Ricky's character's name on the show.

[Vee]

I don't mind when they occasionally mention Miguel as still being a star. Plenty of soaps have fictional characters go on to be major celebrities - Danny on Y&R, Erica Kane, Brenda, etc. Ricky happened to play Miguel who was a significant contract player BITD so I can see why they might see it as needing to do one or the other (unlike the Rick Springfield/Noah situation, where IIRC Springfield specifically stipulated that he would not perform musically as Noah and insisted on appearing as both in '13 or as Eli Love). I do have a problem with when it used to come up constantly back in the days of Sabrina or when it's just there to be cute.

Is he? I thought it has all been in fun.

 

Though outside of GH, I believe he's had good acting scenes in other shows. 

Ah! I see. 

[carolineg]

Me too?  I swear I actually like Ricky Martin.  I think he's a very talented guy.  His GH work leaves a lot to be desired.  I don't care about the mention of his character, but I'd rather the show just say Ricky Martin instead of a character most of the audience barely knows and generally disliked if they do.

[Taoboi]

Lol. Ikr. I can understand being over the wink, winks myself. But I mean, the last time Miguel was mentioned, wasn't it to reveal he went on to be a successful singer so it's kinda true. 

 

But then again, it was probably said randomly and done in a way to be an eyeroll. 

 

And hopefully no flashback scenes.
