GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread

[detroitpiston]

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.

 

[Liberty City]

It appears to be so.

[Taoboi]

Thank you yes. And the bold would have been my serious answer as well and mentioned frequently from the moment it was announced.

 

I love the idea about Sam involved in the Drew running for office storyline, too.

Cody and Tracy is happening!

I saw the clip of Laura thanking Tracy for being there for Lulu when she couldn't be. That was a pleasant surprise.

[Aragorn]

I think that Violet is being sent away because after Sam dies her daughter Scout will be getting Violet's room at the Q mansion.

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..

[Antoyne]

Will be sad if those were the last Davis girl scenes.

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.

KS hasn't worn a skimpy tank top in forever. She looks so very slimmed down. Are they all on ozempic? I see Genie is also slimming down. It's like cocaine from the 80s. LOL
