GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

The actual initial beginning of Brenda wearing a wire was Ned, Lois, and Mac pressuring her to bust Sonny because they found out Sonny was 1. Lying about not being in the mob 2. Using illegal funds to liquidate money for Stone's treatment.  I don't think Sonny helped fund L&B to launder money but he had to when Stone's bills were adding up and Luke's wasn't profitable at the time.  Hence, Brenda wearing the wire, Sonny marrying Lily, so on and so on.  Lois has always been very clear on her stance with illegal funds while turning a blind eye to illegal activity, but whatever.  It worked okay in 1995.

It was so panic-y.  Ava is like 50.  She can have overnight guests lol.  It's not like Sonny's could hate her any more than he does already.  I don't know why Ava sleeping with a fairly respectable FBI agent would hurt her custody case.

 

It feels like it's been months and months of things that might happen.  No one is making any direct moves and this all should have been hashed before Kristina was inseminated.

And they showed the replay at least 20 times today.  It's fine.  It's a silly soap stunt, but I don't know who is fooling themselves thinking it's high art or something.  I mean, I do, it's Frank, but at least Guza had James Franco falling off MOCA walls.

I think they get some points. First, it was a surprise. Sure there's been near constant concern & spec over something happening to someone but they did not tip their hand. Smart, and unlike them. Next, very powerful because it impacts so many people. We can also see history in it. Alexis being consoled by Mr. Mumble. Sam & the baby she lost. More of Ava being Ava. Last it's being done very soapily so hurray GH is not above getting jiggy with it. 

One thing I am not awarding points for is that lately we've been in a swamp of flashbacks! Why? And, especially flashbacks of things that have just happened. Has someone moved from Editing on DAYS to Editing on GH?! Call me suspicious!

I think the overall story movement is fine.  I always say nothing happens on GH and this was something.  It was just a lot of flashbacks lol.  

Believe me, it's not the stupidest thing I have seen on a soap, but it's certainly not the best.  I'll be honest, I was focusing more on Brook Lyn needing to take some weird breather after the fall.  Is she pregnant?  Is she nauseous from Lois's insanely high waisted puke green pants?

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
