GH: September 2024 Discussion Thread

[Aragorn]

I want Portia sent to jail for fixing Heather’s test results. I then want Curtis and Nina paired as a couple. That won’t happen though, because Portia will successfully frame Brad for the crime and stay married to Curtis.

[Taoboi]

Very.

[Toups]

NuAidan is already better than the last one.  He's not awkward and doesn't have the new-actor-ticks.

It's always going to be Lucky/Liz for me because of the history and because of JJ/RH's chemistry. 

[Liberty City]

I can semi-agree but it set up her exit for her annual summer break, and also sets up a potential lead-into November Sweeps period.

[ranger1rg]

I agree. I thought he was really good. Very natural.

[Efulton]

Can someone explain to me why it’s suspicious and not about vacations,  scheduling, episode guarantees and everything else that goes into putting a soap on the air 5 days a week?

[Taoboi]

History between the actress and the show...but specificALLY her history with FV...adding on his other flaws in running the show and other shows. Thus the side-eye.

 

But in THIS instance...all the audience have wanted for Laura...besides a storyline...has been for her kids to come home. And years (or a decade in Lucky's case) later, it is finally happening, and Laura is NOWHERE in sight? Laura...the lady that is always about her kids and their grandkids? 

 

And in terms of vacation time, we already discussed a week or so back about the concept of pre and post taping around an actor's vacation with examples. It is what was what was making the Lucky storyline jarring because technically she and Kevin left first before Jason and Anna and yet nowhere in sight. So that does not help. They could have planned that so much better. And given how FV micromanages, one cannot help, but side-eye. 

 

Yeah, since it sounds like Lucky arrives at the end of my current binging in Port Charles, it really does set up for Laura to return for the start of November Sweeps.

Genie has been filming a few weeks now. I bet she is back by next week

Oh, I saw. I said at the time Contessa mentioned it, I hoped for us to get some post-taping that is inserted into the episodes in...something that GH has been doing a few times this year so hopefully, this will be one of those cases. If not, I might side-eye that, too. lol. 

[Efulton]

I am gonna go out on a limb and say people on here are looking for behind the scenes drama that does not exist.

[Taoboi]

Or people are seeing what has happened and give their observations...some of which are true.

 

But tomato, tomata. We will have to agree to disagree. 

[Efulton]

uh huh

[Taoboi]

Same.

[Toups]

I agree.  I don't see it either.  Genie is on contract and gets great vacation time and good airtime.  Laura is involved with the practically the entire canvas as mayor.  She got a new romance, she got a new family, and her other family is back.  

[Efulton]

Completely agree.  Thanks Toups.
