GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[AbcNbc247]

Between Pikeman, John/Jagger, and so many other characters and storylines, all I can say is, I wonder what the original plans were. 

[Soapsuds]

Agreed!

[Toups]

The last two weeks have been better than the entire Korte/Mulcahey's entire tenure.  There's so much happening now instead of having people just talk talk talk talk talk talk.  The show is soapy again.  LOL

I liked seeing Brad and Terry today because they don't bother me, and I'm in favour of a large cast/a large supporting cast/a lot of minor characters.  It makes the show feel like a big community.  I know I'm in the minority when it comes to a large cast size. 

As for as the credits go, I really just think posting the breakdown writer, script writer and director is necessary.  You don't need the creator and HWs because they don't change everyday. 

[Maxim]

Yup. The two other names also don't bother me. I like to see them just for... panache!

Also Frank. Clearly we all know who is EP. 

[Efulton]

Completely agree Toups!

[Contessa Donatella]

This is why we have many different flavors of ice cream!

So I am going to assume with all this credits talk today nothing of note happened on GH?  Let me know if it's skippable.

Kristina was arrested for assault and attempted murder of Ava, lol.

[Contessa Donatella]

Cody & Sasha were about to do the deed but were interrupted by Tracy & Vilette. Brad had a mtg with Terry. He wants a job in the lab. Jordan met with Molly.  You can imagine! Laura is heade to Lulu afraid but knows nothing. Dante met with her before she left. Then he picked up some soup & headed to Kristina in the interrogation room. Jason told several people that it was Valentin according to Clement. Crazy. A whole lot happened.

So based on Parry Shen’s SOD interview and Cassandra James twitter feed they were given their scripts and shooting dates two days in advance, Frank directed the scenes himself and they were filmed August 2nd. Smells like Frank put a plan to answer potential backlash against dumping Blaze before things could get fully ugly.

That actually sounds like ridiculous fun.

All of that I will pass on.   I honestly thought Cody/Sasha already had sex lol.  

[Liberty City]

Mhmm, and Alexis went into mama-lawyer mode. It was nice to see.

Scenes are not filmed in order, and a lot of "filler" work is done.

[Contessa Donatella]

We should all be so lucky as to have YOUR imagination!!! 

[j swift]

It is a fun theory, but I think it gives both production and social media too much credit. 

For example, to accept this idea, we'd have to believe that the writers and producers could predict that a certain portion of the audience would be more dismayed than they had been about other recent, and more high profile, firings.  And that they would be willing to write several scenes, pay recurring actors who happen to represent the LGBTQIA community, and insert them into an episode just to appease a minority of the audience. 

I usually go with Occam's Razor that the simpler (and less conspiratorial) solution is most often true.
