I'll be honest, I still don't understand the story of Nina's baby(ies).  I don't get how Willow and Nelle are her children.

No one does. And it doesn't matter!

Should have been Sasha not the insta-twins.

Wasn't it though?  And then it changed?  Valentin hired her or something?  Even after that I still thought it might be Sasha.

Honestly, it should be no one.  It's a stupid story anyway.

Just trying to follow rules & with you, be considerate. Your choices are your choices. Me? Sometimes I look, but other times I do not. 

 

Thank you. 

 

Most of the time it's a not look for me. So if you hear me ask, more than likely it's rhetoric.

It was revealed pretty quickly, if I recall, that Valentin hired Sasha to act as Nina's daughter. And then we got those awesome scenes of Nina ripping Sasha/Valentin apart, and then Nina ran into Carly' 1000th ex-husband, where their short-lived romance began.

Jesus GH has been a nightmare trying to tie in one ill conceived character after another in Frank’s time. It’s so lazy. Just off the top of my head, in one convoluted story after another- Nina, Nathan, Britt, Liesl, Drew, Willow, Nelle, Ava, Valentin, Esme, Austin and before him retcon-central Franco…even Laura’s brothers had the added nonsense of explaining why one talks like Foghorn Leghorn.

These posts trying to explain Nina are a prime example of the nonsense playing out right now with Natalia. It’s about keeping the actor, not the character

Sasha is as boring if not moreso than all of Nina's other pointless daughters.

I liked Kraze but they are over. I also like Sasha and Cody but the show is really slow to advance them. Is the show keeping Sasha or is she the next person to get a sudden exit?

I don't like the Deception storyline and think they should just get rid of that company. 

Count me as the one person who likes Natalia and Sonny as a couple. Natalia will have sex with Sonny before she leaves the show.

GH May climb back up to 2 million Nielsen viewers a week. But the frustration is that I believe there is more audience, and a few key movements away from his clearly losing strategy would get the show there.

And with FV and these writers I don’t  think they can go beyond that core base of steady Nielsen viewers. That’s why the nonsense with constant rewrites and propping and keeping Eva is a problem for me.

The changes need to be made at the top at this point. Noth Varni & Valentini need to GO, and Disney ABC Television also need to not have their fingers pulling the strings.

The show hasn't introduced one successful new character since the current regime took over in 2012. Their new characters all have had convulted, unconvincing backstories, and they all do stupid things that sabotage them from the go. In bringing back old characters, they look to the 90s or 00s. There's nothing to bring back from the 10s; no one anyone would want to see come back. It's just a testament to how creatively bankrupt the show has been for a decade and more.

It’s a testament to the fact Frank Valentini is only interested in gimmicks and not producing a show with any hint of integrity or sensibility. The FV era of GH is long overdue for a conclusion, but apparently, the show might be cancelled before that ever happens.

Yesterday's Quartermaine kitchen, outdoor park, and Deception scenes were filmed on August 5th, just nine days before the airdate #GH #GeneralHospital

Woof. That info doesn’t bode well for me considering this material these last couple of episodes has been mostly boredom inducing mid.

Missing kid plots where everyone spilts up and screams the child’s name 100 times are just so tired and we just had a big water stunt, did we really need another so soon? I get they wanted an easy way to set Cody up as a hero and have Mac forgive him but come on. In the year 2024 no kid is running around without a device that can easily be tracked and no way Spinelli the FBI hacker doesn’t have those children on surveillance.

All that said, James overhearing Willow and Nina discuss the forbidden kiss and attraction for Drew was hilarious and I liked Willow’s explanation of being bored of and lacking trust with Michael. Still hoping Mikey goes full Alan Jr when this story gets ramped up.

Deception scenes were a snoozefest but I like that Lucy is played with a bit more dignity again instead of a complete joke like she has the last few months. I liked Tracy wanting no parts of Sonny’s involvement too.

Now Ava, Scotty and Jagger were the best part of the show for me, I enjoy this gruesome threesome. Ava’s totally about to run the bus over Jagger but I’m glad because he’s definitely stacking the deck against her hiding the pharma doc at Wyndemere. I’m happy he sparked the idea of using the images to show Kristina was the aggressor in the hotel incident though, and she absolutely was.
