GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Vee]

Carly got a great line in about the panic room to Ric. I'm glad she brought that up because he was prepared to straight up kill her for her baby.

Off topic a bit, but this is hilarious. Perez Hilton just reposted me -- a comment I made a month ago. I guess any publicity is good publicity.

The Ric and Alexis scenes today did not disappoint at all. He really did come off as a great concerned parent and I thought Alexis actually held her own. But it is ridiculous that she has to coddle Kristina because she’ll fall apart if her parents don’t treat her like she’s 5 and the most special girl in the world.

Was actually surprised and pleased with the Molly and Dex scenes today.

Carly, Ric, and Liz as brief as it was was perfect. I do love that no matter what, when Ric is anywhere near Liz he can’t take his eyes off of her. I wouldn’t mind another round of Ric and Liz.

The Dex/Molly scene was a really pleasant surprise today and I enjoyed it a lot. I liked the parallel that was drawn between them and their relationships with their families. I hope they continue to build up something between the two of them. Don’t get me wrong, I like TJ, but it would be absolutely amazing to see both of Carly’s scumbag children get dumped/cheated on

Btw, is Dex’s mother gonna be showing up soon? 

The Ric/Alexis scene was really good too. He’s fit back on to the canvas so effortlessly.

Portia/Heather, Skip. 

And as good as Tracy was today, I think the recast ruined Lulu’s spirit and confidence a lot more than Dante leaving did

Does anyone know anything about this

I ask because I suspect that they make stuff up, fake soap news, etc. & right now they're saying that a recast Blaze will be back in September,

Maybe it's because I've been totally smitten with Kristen Vaganos for these last 3-4 weeks, but I just think she makes every scene more interesting.  She looked cute today too. LOL

  Those Dex/Molly scenes were unexpectedly pretty good.  Maybe Molly will somehow help Dex with his family issues.

Given that Valentini's era is the one that watered Lulu down so much it's interesting to see them addressing and trying to give explanations. I wonder if Korte wants to return Lulu to being a mini-Carly, as she was under smugbot JMB's era. 

I notice the only clips of her that ever get interest are when she's verbally or physically abusing other women. I don't know why that is a legacy to return to, but it just reminds me of what a worthless character Lulu has always been and likely always will be.

I had the same thought.  Knowing this regime it will be a big name soap star (let's say Gina Tognoni for @Liberty City's sake lol) and she'll be some crazy Mormon sister wife.  She will then meet Sonny and Jason and change her ways immediately.

No. Gina Tognoni is SKYE CHANDLER QUARTERMAINE and no one else, LOL! Haha. Maybe they'll reach out to Fiona Hutchison (FOFV) to come and play the role... Dex will exit and the mom will stick around.

My favorite stuff with her was the abortion, and then the story with trying to figure out who really killed Rick/Scott going after her for killing Logan. And her initial love story with Dante. I can’t fault her for the other stuff too much because every woman was like that on GH at that point. The slaps and long hair flying was all over the place. Only Robin escaped constantly screaming at other women and was allowed to actually have female friends. And she was only spared really to be a foil for Carly.  But I totally get why Lulu is an acquired taste.

The only time I saw a spark of JMB’s Lulu with Emme was when they were gearing up for a fight about the kids in school with Willow as the teacher and Stafford’s Nina, and Liz.

Okay.  Fair.  Fiona Hutchinson.  So Dex will absolutely be written off because he doesn't immediately accept Mommy Dex's new behavior and outlook. She will then become the new sous chef at the Q's to help Sasha and also a Deception spokesmodel.

But...no $$$ for Kelly Monaco here.

Joking aside, after the depressing, miserable exit Fiona had on OLTL, I wonder how Frank feels about her...

(I guess he did bring her back for a cameo or two)

I do remember the abortion story getting some praise, but sadly I don't think that's what the show wanted from her given the hard pivot into mini-Carly. And that seems to be who Tracy misses. I guess the idea was meant to be she was a mini-Luke, whatever Luke was meant to be in those last decades.

[Liberty City]

Yup. That's how it'll go. And Jason will have a "mommy" complex and have a love affair with her.

[carolineg]

I thought Lulu's abortion story was well done.  JMB can do good work.  Her smugness level is off the chain though.  They gave her so many love interests and she really only sparked with DZ.  And then it got weird where Lulu's entire life revolved around Dante.  And then the endless oddly conceived children!  I don't think any regime/writer/etc ever has gotten Lulu, but there is a lot of room for change/growth for her.
