GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread

My main point was about the three sisters collectively but Lulu waking up immediately disrupts Sam and Dante’s insta family and the right team could play angst out of that triangle for at least a year or two. There was a lot of meat left on Sam’s dynamic with Jason and not wanting him around Danny that the show stupidly refused to cook much with as well, she also should have been more involved in the Drew running for office and fooling with Nina and Willow storyline. Way too many natural placements in current material that the show minimized just because they wanted KeMo out.

You can and I’d still rather watch Sam. Seeing all the Davis girls together one last time Alexis would just make for the more interesting piece of the dynamic to lose IMO.

I really hope its not a temporary fake out but yes it seems like its happening. I just saw Rebecca Budig and Michael Easton reunited with the actress recently too so maybe they wanted to surprise her for her goodbye

First of all...Ric...YOU...BETTA...READ!!!!!!!! While Kristina got some good licks in, Ric dragged her every which way, but loose. And watching him with Ava...it hit me! Am I about to get a new soap scheme team? I'm torn, but YES, PLEASE. And this was all part of Ric's case for Ava to get Kristina to look unstable...perfection!!!

 

It was also great to see Alexis out and about and walking. And is the TJ actor currently filming something else cuz those earrings are new. Oh and thank you, cameraman.

That said...so...they did it. Sasha IS Robert's daughter? Robert Scorpio? Hmmm...honestly, I'm LIVID from what I said yesterday. They been around each other for 6 years and now THIS pops out. And to add salt to the wound...those New/Old Writers were doing the two things I loathe in their writing...the 'wacka wacka look at me' humor with lame quip of it all for one. And the other is the Lloyd Gold writing stuff of dragging out the reveal in the 'just spit it out already' dialogue as if it creates build when there are much better ways to do it. And the David Vickers reference just sent me over the edge. I will always love OLTL, but FV LET...IT...GO.  I can't even think about the cool possibilities cuz I hated the reveal.

 

I also mentioned how I love seeing Dante and Sam in a blended family. So it was nice to see that all on display in this episode. And then that coda with Lulu was haunting. 

 

I will be watching Friday later on tonight to see if I was right about the cliffhanger.

Tracy deserves a love interest. It's too bad Robert looks so unhealthy and Scott is such a buffon, as either of those pairings might have been interesting at one time or another. Since they probably won't bring someone new on just for Tracy, maybe Cody is the best option?  It could be interesting..

Not one of the cliffhangers that I was expecting, but given how the episode played out...it seems like I was a week off.

If anything, I felt like The Sasha mess took away from the episode regardless of the fact that I liked it this go-around. 

 

I know people feel a way about how things with the forthcoming death is coming. As if enough of the beats are not being played. Hmmm perhaps. I personally feel they are being played too scattered. Cuz there was that scene with Jason a week or so ago that felt final. The blended family scenes Thursday. And now...this Davis girls scene.  All of which were great except that Molly is overdue to slap Kristina at this point for saying the wrong baby name. And I definitely went uh oh when Sam stormed out rather than watch another round of Molly vs Kristina. A bad note to end on.

 

Awww now THAT was the chemistry I was waiting for in a non-fantasy between Lucky and Liz. A little bit of her feisty side even came out. And JJ was looking like a snack, too. Bonus!

 

The only reason I care about the Violet storyline was really down to AS's acting. When she said she needed a minute and left Violet's room, I felt that. So good Ned and Lois (with her accent yay) were there for her. And of course, Chase. PS. THANK YOU, cameraman.  

 

I LOVED how Maxie was shady as if to represent the audience in terms of Holly/Robert/Sasha. And KS was looking GOOD. That said...THIS is what I was expecting with this revelation. Not the wacka wacka comedy quippy style of the writing. But something more grounded with small humor found in the actual moments. Seeing that the drama, emotion, and even humor can be found when you play the scenes straight. If they have to be played at all. And since the New/Old Writers went there with Robert and Sasha, it should be played straight. They did. I was shocked. And I felt more invested for it. So loved the scenes with Holly, Felicia, and Maxie. Loved the scenes with Robert and Sasha who was NOT beating around the bush. I even like the little scene between Sasha and Maxie as Maxie tried to process it all. Due to this, I actually am looking forward to Mac and Cody's reactions. And Tracy's too since she clearly has no love for Holly.

 

I might have picked on them all week, but I can give credit where credit is due...it was a pretty decent week for the New/Old Writers.

 

Ohhh and clearly...the Lulu storyline has a manipulator in it with someone messing with her equipment. Is it the obvious Cyrus or someone else entirely? Rhetoric.

    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time. 
    • I hope it's okay to post this here(as in from DC)  
    • Quick question - did Christie and Leann share any scenes together in the '80s before Leann left the show?
    • This is the perfect way to encapsulate the situation. So many morally-reprehensible stories were foisted on the show and its characters in ATWT's dwindling years. Rape should never be used as a cheap plot device or in a way that degrades the victim. Jack's sexual assault was another heinous example of how nasty the the show's tone had become. The fact that people like Hogan Sheffer, Ron Carlivati, Jean Passanante, Charles Pratt, Dena Higley, etc., somehow end up winning awards for their material, decimates the credibility and integrity of the awards, IMHO. Soaps used to have a solid moral core and did not originally wallow in the gutter, rolling around in filth and depravity just to be cool, hip, campy, or whatever else modern-day PTB aim for. Thank you. Cruelty, degradation and misogyny are not components which lend themselves to successful soaps, which have always been predicated on warmth, family bonds, and providing a comforting haven for their audience. The genre has been crippled because the cynical and ignorant executives in charge understand neither the shows nor what the audience wants to see.
    • Beverlee was on a whole other level from Kim. It's not like they were in competition with each other. I get the feeling that Kim had a slight problem with the super-professional, serious cast members who just wanted everyone to be prepared and do the work, as she seems to like having fun on set. (She's made a few cracks about Chris Bernau being like that). Bev was definitely one of those. But they didn't work together that much. Yeah, they made her manic and also much weaker. She always had a vulnerability, but wanting to kill herself over that guy? No way. Not only that, he didn't leave her! She insisted he marry Maeve. When they did the tribute to Bert/Charita, the compilation of scenes with her showed how much the cast had been almost totally turned over in a relatively short period of time. Nearly every shot was of her by herself because most people she had worked with had been fired, left or been replaced. I assume they couldn't show her with people who hadn't been replaced, like Don Stewart, Elvera Roussel, or Robert Newman because they would have had to pay them for using their clips. It's dreadful to watch. Like she had no connection to the current show.
