GH: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

Yabbut she set her up with Bobby as her full-time caretaker and nurse. She probably received better, more attentive & more comprehensive care during her time as a ... what ... hostage? 

[Vee]

As do I. And for me the most poetic choice would be that, unlike in 2012 where it was Monica who knew and had been protecting him for years, we discover it is a resentful Michael, who found out from his grandmother that A.J. was once again clinging to life and has been shepherding him ever since, torn between two fathers. At the worst possible time for Sonny, preferably.

Michael, you little bitch.

No wonder why Willow wants to cheat

I really hope that Michael lying and helping cover up Jagger’s death ends up being the thing that finally pushes Willow into Drew’s arms. It literally is the perfect catalyst. 

But I also have to admit that Drew did seem a little creepy today. Maybe this all really is an elaborate scheme for him to get back at Nina.

What I saw in today's GH is that Kristina is suffering from PTSD & Post-partum. That she took a gun to the graveyard to end her life. Kate Mansi was amazing .

[Jdee43]

The actor that plays Drew doesn't have the chops to come off as anything but creepy in this storyline.

Someone said that Cameron has just signed a new 3 year deal with GH. Frank just keeps making decisions that make me ... want to vomit. I thought sure they would cut him loose. It's so clear & has been for so long that he is woefully miscast. Cameron Mathison, the actor who plays Drewfus. Actually, of course, he is playing Ryan Lavery. Or maybe he's just playing himself & when he was at AMC, it was the same situation. To anyone who has seen him in one of these movies, is there any discernible difference to those characters?

Didn't expect Michael and Carly to be roped in this cover up.  How did Sonny get out of killing AJ again? 

I didn't see it as her taking the gun to kill herself, but she took it because she plans on killing Ava. 

[Taoboi]

Help from Carly and a governor's pardon. But it's been a minute so I might be wrong on the last part.

[BoldRestless]

I was expecting her to take it out at the gravesite but obviously not complete the act... Britney Spears' paternal grandmother died that way, at her baby's grave. 

 

I caught that when Kristina was talking about "Adela" that Alexis sort of cringed and said "the baby"... poor woman is never going to be able to refer to her granddaughter by name at the risk of offending one daughter or the other.

[Contessa Donatella]

Now, I, too, thought she was having a suicidal impulse, but this alternate theory is maybe much more interesting. Krazy Kuckoo Kristina in Krazy Person Lock-up is much soapier than dead dame. 

But, not seeing Sonny use Carly one more time, come on, you really didn't see that coming?!! Michael went into "Save This Sonny Situation" so fast I could hardly credit it. Only moments  had passed. "Mom's at the house. She can alibi you." Meanwhile he was in perpetual motion, doing cover-up things. 

[Toups]

Man, a Governor's pardon is such a copout.  LOL  Thanks. 

[Taoboi]

Oh yeah he was in jail for a good minute at least. 

 

But he saved the governor's daughter from a bomb and got pardoned. 

[DRW50]

I've barely watched them but I have some relatives who love them. I think that format suits him more than years on daytime, where his coldness and unlikeability onscreen seep in.

[LondonScribe]

I won’t be so churlish as to deny that the show is more exciting, the action has accelerated and the drama has ramped up in the last few weeks, with the return of well-placed cliffhangers, but damn, I don’t like this writing at all.

Both in terms of putting the chess pieces back exactly where they were before, and a lot of the character depth being stripped away.

It’s clear to me (and probably everyone here) that Kristina will be in the frame for Cates’ murder, presenting Sonny, Michael and Carly with a ‘dilemma’ and seeking ways to ‘save’ her while shielding Sonny from justice- again.

[Vee]

Agreed on all of the above. And in the end they will absolutely pit Wagger's murder on someone else. That's their only option unless they really want to redo the cold-blooded murder of A.J. which, who knows.

I've seen this story so many times on the show - there's always some bullshît escape hatch which exonerates the mob either figuratively or literally, proves Sonny right, etc. This goes back to the Guza II years, where even Dante's childhood idol from his backstory, a beat cop in his neighborhood in Brooklyn, turned out to be corrupt or something to make Sonny look good lol. Somehow there will be some nonsense to get Sonny off.
