GH: October 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Some of the current writers truly do seem to put keeping some of their favorite characters, in spite of a laundry list of horrible actions, above any coherency.

I would write Ava out, but then I'd also write Sonny and Carly out, so I can understand why Ava might exist as a counterweight to them.

I have no idea why Heather is there. Zero. Alley Mills may be a wonderful person. Various writers may love the Wonder Years. They may love Doctor Quinn (RIP Orson Bean). Either way, the character needs to go.

When I peruse Twitter I notice a lot of the Liz fans also prefer her with Ric (or want a new man for her). She and JJ definitely had strong chemistry in the old days, but Guza truly salted the earth of that pairing on JJ's return.

And FINALLY!!! Lucky's back in Port Charles.

 

First thing's first. You can count me in on liking NuAidan. Not that I have a problem with people casted that are older than what they are playing cuz CW&WB&FOX&etc. I liked that he appeared to have some of the mannerisms of the Aidans that came before him. As if he did a little bit of studying. And that I can respect. 

 

I again continue to wonder if they are going to write Scorpio off with Holly when she inevitably leaves town. Because watching these scenes with Holly and Mac feels like it's setting it up.

 

Oh...Hat Dad's gone?

 

We know how I feel about a whiny Anna so...

That ending was *swoon*

Same.

 

I'm looking forward to seeing it, but it seems instead of today's episode, what I have is an hour of news. I know that the show can be like sewage, but I don't see any stars in that pipe.

I’m shocked to not be alone on that island. Maybe once his face isn’t all beaten up? Honestly GV was Lucky when I started watching GH and he was much more suited to me for Lucky being a cop or adventurous. He and Jason also felt like equal romantic rivals as well during the partner swap summer. JJ and Steve Burton look about 30 years apart in age.

My DVR didn’t record the whole episode so I’m going to have to finish on Hulu tonight.

That's because a lot of them on Twitter are Liason stans. Liz with psycho Ric again does nothing for me because I could never believe she'd be with him again after the 2000s and the panic room, though I enjoy Ric for what he is (a crazy slimeball).

I had no particular fondness for LNL2 in the '90s, I found them too saccharine, but the older version appeals to me. JJ and Becky still have it if not moreso now that they're older IMO. It's just that Jonathan's return interferes with the show a lot of the Twitter kids had planned in their heads, so they act very vocal to project bigger numbers than they have. (Similar case in point: The supposedly massive fanbases of Sonny and Nina, Michael and Willow, etc.)

Yeah, I have a really hard time believing all these Liz/Ric fans are just popping up now.  I know this board isn't the barometer of the entire internet, but I remember saying I really liked early Liz/Ric and hardly anyone on here agreed lol.   Liz/Ric doesn't have the long term, endgame potential that LL2 have, so I would suspect some Liason cross agenda.  I think it's too soon for me to tell if I want Liz back with Lucky, but I certainly don't think Jason/Liz are ever getting back together lol.

I noticed this as well lol. Its funny observing how the various fanbases work on there, I gotta give the Liason stans credit for best organization in agenda pushing at least. They’ve made sure to flood the show hashtag with retro Liason content and negativity towards anything having to do with Lucky’s return on a constant basis.

A lot of the fanbases do false rage baiting as well. Like how people were riled up over the show erasing Nikolas from the transplant storyline and forgetting Lucky not being a donor match for Lulu back in the day when in actuality the show went out of its way to address all of that. When they got egg on their faces they all just pivoted to a new negative talking point to harp on. I have no problem understanding why TPTB just ignore the criticism lobbied against the show there.

They're really unsubtle. They were certain with Finn gone and Jarly tanking they'd have a clear path at Jason and it's never going to happen. Fortunately they're not the majority of viewers re: Lucky and Liz.

The Liason and JaSam fan wars were some of the ugliest fan based battles I have ever seen back in the day.  It turned me off to both pairings and, honestly, neither pairing was bad.   I don't actually think a Lucky/Liz/Jason triangle redux is a bad idea.  It's certainly better than Anna/Jason, but I can't deal with the crazy lol.

Yup.  The only other fanbase war I saw that was more ugly were those NOLer Carly/Sonny fans from the early 2000's who actually wished harm to NLG, VM, and Ted King so Sonny/Carly could stay together lol, but it was a very small group of nuts.  Liason/JaSam seem to have a larger, "intense" group of fans.

As a Liason fan, I *shivers* at the memories of those fanwars. It does not turn me off of them, but I can see why people might have a problem with liking either pair.

 

I could be down with a Lucky/Liz/Jason triangle and yes, now that I've seen it definitely better than Anna/Jason. 

 

Hehe. Common enemies do that.

    • Loved Valerie Mahaffey as crazy as a box of frogs Sandy Cooper on Wings. 2025 needs to chill out already. May Ms. Mahaffey rest in peace.
    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
