GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

Stone, the autistic adult who lives in a group home & is now an orphan. 

[John]

YES

So enjoying this Lucky!!! Good description. 

People I am pretty sure it is not: Stephanie G., Marci Miller, Jen Landon, Bree Williamson, Julie Marie Berman, Emmy Rylan, .... 

Absolutely NO idea about Alexa Havins. Last saw her on TORCHWOOD.

Can Cates save Lulu...lol

Gotta say it again... #PoorJagger

He got the Nina treatment, only a lot worse. I seriously wonder what the original plan was for him. Pikeman? A pairing with Carly? A pairing with Ava? The shift was so obvious and I'm still wondering why that was all approved if it was disliked so much that it got scrapped as soon as Patrick Mulcahey left. Did King Mo lead another charge against another head writer?

And it's too bad. Not only because a popular character got trashed, but because Adam J. Harrington had a lot of potential. I know some of y'all didn't like him from the very beginning, but I think he could have done really well on GH. He just never got a chance. 

But I also gotta say that, except for that blatant propaganda, these last few weeks and especially this week have been great. Honestly, the best sweeps since February 2023. There was so much depth in so many storylines and characters. They really went there and didn't hold back, in so many episodes and I'm really impressed by that. There are still some lousy stuff onscreen (Heather's thing, Deception) but it really does get overshadowed by all the good stuff that's happening. 

And of course, #Drillow 

There was a lot of tension built up between yesterday and today and it had me hooked. That's how you grab the audience and get them to keep tuning in. Somebody really ought to show those scenes to a certain former head writer (and his obsessed #1 fan) at Days.

And, if Gio does turn out to be Dante and Brook Lynn's son from 2010, that's definitely another huge rewrite by Elizabeth Korte and Chris Van Etten. Wasn't he originally gonna turn out to be a long lost son of Drew's?

Do we know if Stone's mother is dead?  I can't recall all the details of Nightshift right now, but I didn't think Jagger said his mother was deceased.  Just not around.  Literally, with the love of baby rabies this show has the mother will pop up immediately lol.

Jagger still has a living sister as well.  

[Taoboi]

LOL...Vanessa definitely brought the buzz. 

 

You make me wonder if I can find that promo. I am now curious. Perhaps some time this weekend once my work schedule settles.

Slowly catching up so good to hear you say that. And it's not even Sweeps yet lol. 

[AbcNbc247]

August isn't Sweeps?

Jason never belonged in that promo.  Even if I did actually like Jason/Brenda.  Get out of these shots Steve!!!!

[DRW50]

She was in the first season (by far the best as it was pre Iyanla). She did return a number of times for visits after that. Here's one at about 5 minutes.

Well, considering Jason is the one to reunite with Brenda first... it made sense, LOL!

[carolineg]

I suppose. In 2010 he was not even a glimmer of an option for her.  And they spent a thousand years in Rome where Jason and Brenda would just bicker and argue and then Brenda would be like sit with me while I sleep like a weirdo.  It was an act that got old fast, but whatever.   I'd watch it now with no problem.

John Jagger Cates has a sister named Gina and a son named Stone. They both need to show in PC and make Sonny pay.
