GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Sapounopera]

Kirsten Storms looks so good, so happy for her.

Am I a weirdo for missing old-school park scenes which take place in a set?

Oh and they have no idea what to do with Natalia.

That was my suspicion as well.

And yes, I'm worried about ME lol. But I suspect ABC may have put the foot down on the OLTL 2.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, please! Let Maura be Ava as long as they can keep her out of a corner. 

Isn'e it the truth? And, so obvious. 

[Taoboi]

Same.

 

I've already irked by it and it's only been two episodes into the New/Old Writers' run. 

oh, really? The plot thickens...lol.

 

Yeah, now seeing the scene...I would disagree with the wording, but not the body language. I do feel SB was playing against the dialogue which was very interesting. But it seem old school Sonny/Jason to me. 

 

I wouldn't be surprised. It just seems more pronounced and pointed now that it's official official. It seems like everyone who had their own point of view just off of two episodes is being giving the 'bad edit' as they like to say on reality tv shows. 

PM could keep her out of the corner. These writers? FORGETABOUTIT!!!

 

Very. Unfortunately.

 

 

[John]

The writer who doesnt like Ava is still there. 

[Taoboi]

Given how they write her now...I believe that.

 

And parallels what I just said, too. PM would have found the wiggle room to keep her because he clearly saw what he had. 

 

But THESE writers...FORGETABOUTIT!!!  

[John]

I buy that Korte wanted PM as Co-HW but maybe after CVEs back as BDW, FV may started underminding PM with CVE help & Korte too to keep a job

[Contessa Donatella]

You make a good point. Look how many regimes Korte has lived through. Clearly she has a sense of uh ... self-survival instinct? Does that track? The ultimate pragmatist?

[Antoyne]

So uh just like that Kristina and Blaze went through all that just to break up and we get hero Sonny keeping her bigot mother in town because he has a crush? This is what’s supposed to draw and keep viewers?

Sonny laughably talking about Ava going to prison. 
 
Honestly Brennan just waltzing into the Metro Court just helped to highlight that GH is literally a soap where you’re only rewarded by cheering on the bad guys. It’s actually sad that so many writers and producers have decided this is what GH should be and if you’re against that at all, you’re not long for the show.

It’s absolutely a fireable offense in 2024. Isn’t FV gay himself? Like what?!

Today was mostly a snooze fest for me. The only thing that really held my interest were the Willow and Drew scenes and Sonny and Lois making up. Everything else

That scene with Tracy and Cody talking about Finn reeked of setting up his return. I really hope we are spared, the show is so much more pleasant without the OLTL crew running around the canvas playing their #525,600 character.

[Vee]

Feels very much like FV using the Kish playbook to blame the ratings on the gays and deflect from the much more prominent issues within the show, starting with Natalia. At least with Kish on OLTL it was a massive storyline and they probably did take a hit in the demos somewhat because of it 15 years ago (not that that excuses how he disposed of them). Here the lesbians feel like a scapegoat for much bigger systemic issues - which OLTL also had a lot of at the time.

I still have absolutely no idea why Brennan and Valentin are free and how Brennan is off the hook re: Pikeman. Was he undercover or was he actually the bad guy lol?

This is what frustrates me most. Carly is a town hero despite everyone knowing how awful she is and the dangers she has and continues to put her children in. Ava is just as bad but because she’s against the bad guys with a longer history on the show, she’s considered worse. All of the things Sonny, Carly, and Jason have done and caused all over the years onscreen is to be ignored because Ava killed annoying Connie when she was played by Master Thespian Kelly Sullivan.

His reaction in seeing Mikey Jerome shirtless was telling.

*shivers at the thought*

Tbf Mikey had a nice bod. 

[Antoyne]

Literally months of story so that what? They could both be free. Sonny gets backs on his meds. And I guess Jagger gets embarrassed because if you’re against the bad guys, the show will remind us you’re an idiot and will never win. Oh and Anna could be ruined once again after literally a month or so before telling Sonny she’ll take down criminals and then let her ex go free
