GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread

It just looked so ridiculous that Dante has salt and pepper hair and Sonny’s got the fresh Just For Men color in. Let Maurice go gray and grow the beard out man, its time.

So that's how it ends for KeMo and SBu? Not even an on-air hug? She hugged freaking Drew right in front of Jason. That was ice cold.

I just can't help laughing every time Holly says "Sasher" when talking about her "daughter". I must have missed the explanation from Sasha as to why she never told anyone in this town that Holly was her mother? As if it would never come out. It took 6 years, but they're finding out now. So dumb.

[Vee]

The timeline for Holly's pregnancy is confirmed to be literally impossible. She was onscreen the entire nine months in 1992! And for almost a year after! Ridiculous nonsense.

Jason hooking up with Robin's mother? Wow

I just saw Jocelyn's scene with Lucky at Bobbie. God was she annoying

Why is Alexis in jail?

[Taoboi]

She thought she was covering for Kristina when really she was covering for Sonny unknowingly.

I tend to question that too.  Dominic seems to be able to get away with his hair natural and he's Sonny's son.  Rick Hearst rocks his gray hair too and he's Sonny's younger brother.  It all seems strange that the show would care that much about Mo's hair.  I truly wonder if it's a MB vanity thing and he's just blaming the show because he likes it dyed.

I have to agree with most on here that

seems shortsighted.  It's finally a story for Dante/Sam/Lulu and it would have been interesting to see that play out.  Well as interesting as any Sam story could be for me lol.  Sam's been basically wandering around town for years doing nothing and now that something could happen for the character 

 

[Vee]

I just don't see a long-term viability in any triangle there. Dante and Sam was always a stopgap pairing designed to have some place to put two characters the regime had no interest in, and it's never been terribly popular so what's the point? There's no way I buy they wouldn't end over Lulu eventually. I'd be counting the days and I don't think a love triangle based on a C-pairing and a new recast has juice for longer than 6 months tops. And without that what else has Sam got going on? Not much.

Maybe she's what inspired the I Didn't Know I Was Pregnant series on TLC!?

Oh, you know I am not crying about Sam's departure.  She's been useless for at least a decade, but I never had use for her at all.  I just think it gives Dante/Lulu such an easy path to reunite.  It feels like the show is missing an easy oppurtunity for drama even if it was only 6 months worth.  I agree there was no chance Dante would end up with Sam long term the show just really seems to be banking on AH/DZ having chemistry.   But, hey, I should be celebrating.  I get rid of Violet and Sam in the same month?  It's like my birthday and Christmas at the same time lol.

[prefab1]

Maybe they should just put Sam in a coma and have her wake up (ideally, played by a different actress) a year from now when they run out of story for Dante and Lulu. 

[Liberty City]

Not going to happen. At all.

[Vee]

I'll believe Violet's gone when she's gone two years, lol. I don't see Frank letting her go for long, or she'll get the Bechtel treatment where they constantly bring her back hoping she can be part of the teen scene. (Same reason they haven't recast Emma.) I'm amazed they didn't keep Violet with BLQ and Chase permanently, and I suspect that might still happen.

I am not advocating keeping Sam long term.  I am fine with her departure.  The timing just feels off to me.  

Don't rain on my parade please!!!!

I don't think we are truly rid of her for good, but at least for awhile?

[Liberty City]

I'm in the midst of 2018–2019 "live" watching, and the "Bechtel" treatment is so horrible. I don't miss that child...nor will I miss Love.

[carolineg]

I am not trying to put this out into the universe, but I could see Frank re-hiring Bechtel again.  Obviously Chavez is long gone and Bechtel turned into a pretty good looking guy.  He's still a bit young but I could see it happening.
