GH: September 2024 Discussion Thread

I believe they are now 6-8 weeks out where last year it wasn't that long. And, yes, they shoot way the hell out of order, far worse than movies do & their support people say they live & die by their continuity people, who they claim are the absolute best in the business. They also cannot afford to pay qualified people for their support positions, so everyone there was hired green &  has been trained by someone else there. (Unless the person who gave them their OJT has since retired.) Honestly, to me it seems brutal.

Per Adam J Harrington's interview with Michael Fairman

Harrington was on contract but it was always known to be short-term

Harrington finished filming right before GH took the month of July off

AH had around 70 scenes to film that day that came from 11-15 episodes. 

AH said he wondered what would happen to Jagger's son, Stone with him now dead.

At the risk of sounding heartless I don't really care what happens to Jagger's son Stone.  I hope he lives his best life and it sucks his dad got killed by Sonny, but I don't need an update on him.

We have so many characters currently clogging up the show.  I don't need extra time spent on a child Jagger had with a random women.  We met Stone for a few episodes on Nightshift 2 as a child and never heard about him again.  I have 0 investment in him lol.

And now that I said that Jagger's baby mom (played by Gina Tognoni) and AdultStone will immediately be cast tomorrow.

Well...coming into September proper...

 

That was an entertaining mess. The Search for Lucky and WaggervSonny were solid A stories. So it jarring as heck to have Drew/Willow fighting with those two stories for frontburner. And dare I say it...I really didn't care. lol. Oh, how the mighty (in my eyes) have fallen.

 

Any story that has Laura front and center is fine by me. That said...I was expecting her to send Jason honestly to go get Lucky. I guess because he is kinda just there in the wind. lol. But I'm down for her and Kevin have another mini-adventure to go find him. And it's Laura's son so I'm already invested. I am starting to wonder about Lucky's fine doctor friend though. Is it wrong that I am wondering if he's connected to anyone in town? Rhetoric of course. 

 

So...they really threw Wagger all the way under the Sonny bus, huh? Cuz lorrrrrd...smh. I liked that the New/Old Writers finally picked a lane and stuck with it. But we have already seen this allllll before. That said...the actor rose to the occasion. And I will always LOVE Mama Bear Alexis. The only thing that bugged me was that Ava was back being in that really annoying meh mode when she was scheming like a chess player months ago. And is it wrong that I totally forgot Dante and Sonny fell out? 

 

And speaking of questions...is it also wrong that I keep feeling like Val or Finn are going to pop up on my screen like a jump scare?

 

Meanwhile...so I guess the New/Old Writers are totally over this politician storyline if they killed off the guy. I mean there could have been more organic ways for Drew/Willow to kiss. So I guess another plot thread done by PM to the wayside. The hatred is real. 

 

Yeeeeeeah, I see me being over Kristina. I wish I could say that it was out of character, but if I was to be fair...this would be something that I feel Lexi's Kristina would do, too, and lord knows I used to want to shake her bitd so it tracks for me. And at this point, I want her to say her baby name one more time around Molly so Molly can really go in again. Perhaps we are heading to a crazy Kristina outcome. I know she SHOULDN'T be running around with a gun. 

 

I feel they are doing a good job of weaving Brennan into the tapestry of this new regime. His banter with Carly. Getting close to Jason and Laura. Still annoyed at the slapstick they are trying with him and Anna (but I am disliking how she's written under these New/Old Writers), but he does fill out that suit. And good to know he still has a bubble thank you cameramen.

I was very happy the Heather storyline has been reduced to a C story. And how inspired to have Ric be her lawyer to keep him in town. But poor Portia reduced to this part of the canvas. And where is Scotty? And with all the recurring characters back, is Dr. O coming back? 

 

So I take that since the New/Old Writers are bringing up Dante/BLQ again that this will be our pivot away from Sam. Or the start of it? 

 

These rain scenes are very well-done.

Just a mess. Entertaining, but a mess. 

Well, that one way to get her on the show.

    • I've always said, Robert Newman does not get enough credit for the popularity of Josh/Reva. Had he stayed in '91, and had years to build other relationships before Kim returned, I'm not sure we'd have been stuck with "always".
    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
