GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread

Makes sense.

I actually wouldn't be surprised if someone at ABC was worried about the optics of bad Southern and New Yawk accents even as they are perfectly willing to treat black characters or lgbt characters like trash.

Well, whenever Lois is mad or upset, her "New York" accent comes out....

Lois' accent was back on Monday's episode

[Taoboi]

10-8

 

Outside of the Alexis/Martin scenes and those Jason/Anna/Beast scenes (not that I don't mind staring at Charles Masure and the uhhh interesting camera angles on Steve Burton), this was another interesting episode to me.

 

I can't believe how much I liked the Carly/Lucas scenes. He makes her so much more tolerable. Color me shocked. I feel that while Lucas has been in all the episodes since VH first aired, it does not at all feel forced. Okay, Carly always around does lol, but his return feels organic and slowly/well-paced.

 

The next leg of Lucky's return has started. I continue to be surprised that while I hated the first part of it with him NOT being in Port Carles, that I feel so invested in him this week. His talk/denial with Liz. His talking to Lulu and sadly Rocco hearing him (and that little actor did such a good job IMHO). And his meltdown at Bobbie's. My issues aside, JJ is starting to feel comfortable being back and it shows. 

 

Yay for Felicia getting a little mini-story with the other PI who is probably working for Martin. But I'm enjoying how Holly also returning with Lucky is lighting up things with her, Mac, Diane, and Robert. Vets doing their thing. Love it! As I did Holly and Robert finally seeing each other. Poor Mac. 

 

Oh...Sam has already dived once to look for the gun. Interesting. 

 

 

Yay!!!

Don't be too excited; it was back in certain pieces of conversations. Don't be misled by false information!

lol. Fine.

There was chemistry between Cody and Brad. Can't deny it.

Same. It made no sense -- none -- for Portia to verbally discipline Brad because she saw him hug Cody. I get that the writers want to give Brad more reason to dislike Portia and make moves against her, but they need to do better than this. That verbal reprimand made no sense.

 

Disagree with this. I think Van Hansis' acting is natural and authentic. I prefer that to obvious emoting.

Tracy brought up Lois' accent coming thru. Lois told Tracy then tell Robin Finch. I think Lois is over changing herself. 

[Taoboi]

So there is hope. Good. I've over that storyline for sure. Lois was fine as is.

[Liberty City]

The accent was gone by the end of the episode; again, when she snaps or is even startled, the accent is turned on and in that moment, her accent snapped on. Not the first time it's happened since the Robin Finch episodes.

As evident from the September 17 episode, where Lois clearly did not have an accent, until she was heated and it "turned on".

and then by the end of the episode, the accent was "off":

Who found the gun? The only two people I could think of were Jack Brennan with his WSB resources and Valentin with his mercenary group resources.

Funny if true -- ABC gets rid of the crappy accents, but keeps the crappy writing, the crappy acting, the crappy producing.

I’m so mad it looks like Dante is going to stop Sonny from confessing so he will get away with yet another murder. It would not be GH if Sonny wasn’t made out to be a fuc.king martyr. He HAD to kill Jagger

. I hate this show.

[jasonminer1974]

Jagger was going to put Kristina in jail and go after his other kids.Who knows how many folks in framed in the last 30 years.

[Liberty City]

So, that justifies Sonny murdering him in cold-blood and getting away with it?
