GH: September 2024 Discussion Thread

You are totally right. Which is why I was annoyed with the New/Old Writers when they started to write Ava as Whiny Ava again. As if Ava NEVER picked up a gun. As if Ava NEVER used her wiles to get what she wanted. As if Ava WAS NOT JUST seducing Wagger in a masterclass a week before Kristina a week ago and now Wagger is outwitting her? HER??? GIRL, BYE. 

 

And I'm not even touching on her and that agent.

Ava had men wrapped around her finger. Carlos Rivera?! Ava was a femme fatale. She was a woman in a man's world, and played by their rules. Then she suddenly needed Sonny's protection? After marrying/divorcing the Cassadine family? No. That storyline should've played itself: a Jerome marrying a Cassadine is a power play. When Julian married Alexis... neither really lost their entities, yet Ava has continued to lose who she is at her core. I agree: things needed to change for Ava to become viable in a way outside of the Jerome crime family... but fück she didn't need a lobotomy for it.

They had their chance with the marriage to Nikolas to have her be part of society and have those connections while still maintaining an edge. And Nikolas could have been conflicted as he also at times embraced his Cassadine side.

Alan tried to kill Rick and Monica, more than once. They cheated on each other many times. Monica conspired with Sean Donnelly to take the Q fortune. Ava may be more awful than both of them, but they had a shot to recreate that kind of dynamic. Instead they went the trite direction of a damsel in distress finding her prince, like a fairytale. Ava is only isolated because they write the show in such a shortsighted way.

So many Twitter stans squawk when Ava is written as who Ava is. A lot of them seem to just want a somewhat more hard-edged Carly Snyder. Ava being Ava is suddenly 'character assassination.'

I don't know whether PM was going to write her out; there are two schools of thought and two competing BTS stories out there. I do know keeping her dark and nasty is what I prefer, and if that means Maura goes off-contract and swans in and out from time to time and does stints to keep Ava in play so be it. But many past GH or other soap villains have proven that going off-contract is not necessarily required to continue. It's a question of how you keep them protected in story via power and influence. I always reference the Alex Olanov solution from OLTL (where Alex went from a wanted psychopath drowning women at Loon Lake to a protected mob wife, a Buchanan bride and then the mayor) but dammit, it worked.

    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits.
