GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

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.

I feel like Frank feels as if having a character fall out a window is some major production accomplishment for him, it's something that he's carried over from OLTL. It wasn't even that well produced.

Am I crazy, or did it look to anyone else as if Kristina twirled her way through that window?

IDK if I would highlight these special effects, but you did entertain me for a few days GH!

Way to go Frank, I guess

Is she dead I hope.

[Soapsuds]

Agreed

[Contessa Donatella]

I've started to ask this before. Do you watch the show? 

[ranger1rg]

Yeah, I'm kind of stunned they want to promote that...whatever that was. The production wasn't good and the editing was worse.

[carolineg]

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.

[Contessa Donatella]

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!

They kept showing it to drag the episode out. There was very little movement story wise after the fall.

[carolineg]

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 need Frankie V to stop running from the real grind. Brenda coming back to pick up the pieces for Sonny once all this placebo med drama finishes pretty much writes itself
