GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

Time will tell. 

 

Let's just hope that time is given versus those who did not get it.

Would you do a favor for me? I believe that LGBTQ+ representation on screen, matters, very much. This is a change.org petition asking GH to Bring Back Blaze & reunite Kraze. Thank you for any consideration. https://chng.it/yZz7vmwqNq

Gosh, I just want to punch Jagger in his stupid, smug face.  He has valid points to hate Sonny but ugh........so unlikeable.  

[Antoyne]

I love it. Sonny SHOULD have someone go this hard after him. He’s been basically unchecked for over 20 years minus very brief moments and he always came out on top anyway. And Kristina isn’t the helpless wilting flower Alexis and Sonny want to portray her as.

[John]

Power was out. Playing Catch-up

[carolineg]

The thing is Jagger's not going hard on Sonny.  He's going hard in on Kristina.  I don't think Kristina is a wilting flower and I don't think Jagger is wrong for wanting to bring Sonny down.  I am admittedly still a Sonny fan, but I wish Jagger would just go about getting Sonny arrested in the proper way.

Okay, that was pretty good. And oh, look!! The return of the Friday cliffhanger! Quite a few. lol.

 

Mmmm Brennan in a suit...how Beast of them. lol. I enjoyed his interacting with Laura. And it did not grrr as much with him and Anna. 

 

It continues to be a testament to PM's work on doing an organic connection between Cody and James as well as doing the reveal of Cody's being Mac's son...and thus more reason to care about him...that the James Running Away storyline had me surprisingly invested. I loved everyone involved from Maxie, Spin, Felicia (good on her for calling Mac out), Mac, and even Sasha. And wow...the deliciously soapy tea of James also now knowing about Willow/Drew...my interest in that story angle is also piqued. And finally...Mac acknowledging Cody as his son FINALLY. A nice somewhat tidy end to that arc. 

 

Now...the Three Stooges...I mean, Scotty, Wagger, and Ava...just ugh at the woulda coulda shoulda. Though it already is apparent that Wagger will be Ava's way of wiggling out of things. Though Jason now knowing she knew ahead of time might play a role later. And THANK GOD, that pharmacist said aloud that it was Val who did Sonny's meds in...and another dangling plot thread tied up. And also at least Jason knows Ava WAS NOT behind it. That said...

 

Wagger using the angle of the pictures defense on Kristina. My only regret is that Ava herself did not think of it first. But again...we have to pull her out of femme fatale mode le sigh. But I know Maury West will play it to the hilt as a victim so I can't wait for it. And it now becomes REALLY personal for Sonny. So I am actually excited. 

 

I continue to enjoy the growing rift between TJ and Molly. TJ is fed the frak up, and it's shocking to see. Not shocking to see Stella and Curtis. I had almost forgot about him. lol. And I will take Alexis any way I can get her. And I love that she already can sense that Kristina asked Sonny to take Ava out. 

 

RME at the propping of Natalia. But good to see Lucy. And Tracy was reading people down so I love it. Still annoyed at the 180 on BrookLynn. 

 

A kiss secret.

A mastermind reveal.

A false arrest.

 

Yep. That's a lot of cliffhangers for a Friday.

I like it because it just makes Sonny angrier that Jagger is willing to hurt his daughter just to get to him. Jagger is going to lose and either die or be shipped out of town. I’m going to enjoy someone not treating Sonny like a hero as long as I can.

I loved Jagger vs Kristina today. Him charging her for baby Irene’s murder and the way she went from weeping and begging him to let her go whenever she had a familiar audience to then calling him a son of a bitch and saying he won’t use her to go after Sonny as soon as Dex and Alexis weren’t around was good stuff. Kate Mansi played that little flip switch well, I’m pulling for Kristina to go full out Cassadine/Corinthos.

Carly and Sonny on good terms does nothing for me, I hate how they’ve wrapped up the beef with the toxic trio with this med switch reveal.

Carly vs Dante on the other hand was a fun revisit. That’s still one of my favorite Carly storylines with LW in the role and DZ is doing a great job playing Dante letting his guilt for leaving Lulu when he did cause him to lash out.

Drew’s lack of subtlety when it comes to creeping on Willow is hilarious. Shouting your nephews wife out like that during a campaign speech should have brought more suspicious eyeballs lol and Michael’s doofus self just cheesing away, almost feel bad for the guy. Drew using the Senators sudden death to get Willow alone was pretty shameless too.

Curtis and Portia are a complete snoozefest of a pair. Portia further researching Ric did pique my interest though, I’m hoping Ric taking Heather’s case is leading to him boinking Portia so Brooke Kerr has something more interesting to do.

Violet, Chase and Brook Lynn also put me to sleep but I’m curious if they really are hinting at Brook Lynn already having a kid offscreen and it potentially being Gio.

Holy cow, I COMPLETELY forgot Kristina is also a Cassadine through Alexis. Her tapping into both the Cassadine/Corinthos in her could really turn her into hell on wheels and I think I would like to see that.

Drew is so slimy I love it. I could not believe he had the nerve to shout out Willow first and then threw Michael a bone. And of course he needed to process his feelings about the senator privately with Willow

Fair enough.  I can understand how satisfying seeing someone try to take down Sonny can be.  I just wish Jagger could just be an upstanding lawman instead of having to be shady doing everything he's doing.   

[Liberty City]

This makes her volatile.

[Contessa Donatella]

AMAZING!!! Sonny turning himself in, in return to all charges against Kristina being dropped. 

Wait. I think Diane should go over the fine print. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Both Anna & Laura have totally changed their tunes with Sonny. PM did that. He made that change in both of them & so far at least there's been no reversal. I dread that they could do a 180 with either one of them.

I see this in what I dream is going to be Krazy Kristina!

I hated this. 

 

GMAB! The guy is way too obvious. People are soon going to notice. And why did they kill off old guy politician? I don't get that.
