GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread

[wingwalker]

All the Violet stuff should have been cut for more Aiden and Lucky scenes. Would have liked more follow up. Lucky didn't even ask if Aiden had a boyfriend. 

[Soapsuds]

I totally agree.

[carolineg]

5 grown adults plus Gio and the day player principal should not have been wasted on this Violet nonsense, especially characters like Lois and Tracy.

Pretty much all the other groups of scenes today could have been extended out and been more interesting if we left Violet on the cutting room floor (forever).

[wingwalker]

Agreed. I felt bad for Jan Elliot. This is what they have Tracy Q doing? 

[John]

Jane is having a blast. 

[carolineg]

In some ways I do appreciate it shows a softer side of Tracy, but I wish it was literally with any other child on the show.

Agreed with everybody that Lucky and Aiden were the best part of today. This needed to happen and I’m glad that we finally got it. I hope GH continues to build the relationship between the two of them. It'll be interesting to see how they handle it.

I’m also still really impressed by NuAiden.

I liked Lucas’ “reunion” with Wiley too, and the aftermath of it, but yeah scenes like that needed to happen like four years ago. The way Lucas, and Brad too actually, were just dropped once the truth about Wiley came out was ridiculous. 

And at this point, if the rumors don’t turn out to be true, Chase and Brook Lynn should just get a happily ever after and leave town with Violet. I’ll miss them (the adults anyway lol) but what else can they do with them?

What is the backstory with Wiley and Lucas? Those scenes seem to have some subtext I missed during the years I wasn’t watching.

[DRW50]

To be honest I'm surprised they even got the scenes with Lucky and Aiden on in today's climate. And it's going to get much worse after November.

[Liberty City]

Michael & Nelle's son = Jonah (believed to be dead)
Shiloh & Willow's son = Wiley (adopted by Brad & Lucas)

Wiley died (SIDs) and was swapped with Jonah, who assumed the role of Wiley. So, Brad & Lucas were raising Jonah, under what Brad believed was their adoptive son, Wiley. Brad revealed all, and Lucas returned Wiley to Michael.

Can only hope the right choice is made.

[Antoyne]

Wait Brad stole Lucas’ nephew’s bio kid to pass off as his own with Lucas?!

[John]

Basically yes. Well Nelle gave him the baby and Brad kept the secret for like a year

And now that my system is FINALLY back to working...

 

Awww at the Liason hug. That said...how weird is having Liz, Lucky, Jason, and Sam in the same room after all these years. It felt like 2007 without the fan-warring. lol. And that Jason/Sam scene felt eerily final which makes me wonder if it is going down this coming Friday or next?

 

As for THE reunion...it was all right. I love the flashback...feisty Liz and that chemistry. That said...I felt more of a reaction to Liz with Ric and even Jason than Lucky. Though I love the scenes. That said...THE reunion for me will be Laura and Lucky. Tick, tock. 

 

Oh? Hat Dad really IS leaving? Wow. And we might not be seeing Neka much now, too? Her I liked and wanted to see more of. I wonder if it's a way to phase out the nightclub now that Curtis is off running Aurora and mixing it up with Quartermaines. Though I guess that means that Ms. Wu won't be trying to muscle in on it, too. 

 

And while I didn't like PM/ER attacking the Ava/Trina friendship or doing it in a jarring way at the end at least, I am happy to see that it's back. And they can confide in each other again. I love that Trina is going back to college and that Ava respected her enough that she was trying to get her to run the gallery. 

 

I don't like what they are doing with Portia, but if they are going to paint her as the villain, BK is playing it to the hilt. It is giving Eileen Davidson very slow descent to villainy DAYS circa late 90s while you can still sympathize with her...not that Portia is in the wrong in the first place IMO. Cuz those Portia/Brad scenes were catty. 

Hehe. In to think I used to think the opposite and now we are two peas in a pod.

[Antoyne]

Holy [!@#$%^&*] that’s crazy! And they wrote them out after it was resolved? Seems like a waste.

Again my only exposure to JJ was his last run so I’m in the same boat with you. The constant crying hasn’t started back so at least there’s that.

I was waiting for your thoughts! So happy I’m not alone in thinking there was more of a spark between Ric and Liz. Ric looks at Liz like she’s the most important person in the world when they’re together. But honestly in general I find Hearst to be a more alive performer than JJ.

[carolineg]

I am not trying to change your mind or anything, but JJ's last stint did him no favors.  It was pretty dreary.  I think you might like JJ's run as a kid/teen/young adult.  He was quite charming, IMO.  Although if you are more familiar with GV's Lucky it might be too different.  The 3 Lucky's almost feel like entirely separate characters for me tbh.
