GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

[Liberty City]

Building that specific family around Curtis has been an awful mistake. I do often wonder if there had been plans for Tommy Ashford to pop-up until they revealed Shawn Butler was TJ's biological father. But, to me, the proper TJ should have been Tommy "TJ" Hardy Jnr. Missed opportunity with that one.

Brook Kerr also would have been a viable Gia recast, which would have made Trina a Campbell over an Ashford, and Taggert's niece instead of daughter (a story reveal we'll never get at this point). But now, Kerr has to support Donnell Turner throughout every single scene of their "storyline." It's disappointing.

Other than fúck Zander for no reason! I felt for that poor recast, she tried.

Why is everyone accepting that Sasha is Robert's daughter with no DNA test? The one thing thats been consistent and stressed throughout this story is that Holly is a known liar with ulterior motives. Does the timeline even track? Wouldnt Robert have been "dead"? Sasha would have been conceived in the 90s based on how old Ethan and Lulu are

[Contessa Donatella]

That puts you one up on me. I never liked him, him being Colton is that his name? Poor Gia. 

[Liberty City]

Robert did a DNA test. That was in-episode that he did it and, gave Sasha the results, which confirmed what Holly said was true. And Sasha was always conceived in the '90s, 1993 to be exact. She's always been a '93 "born" character.

They never gave the recast a chance.  I think I recall GH hoping MR would come back when her primetime show failed, but she obviously didn't and Gia just faded away basically.

Agreed.  I don't mind a new family in town, but centering it around DT was a mistake.  It's too bad the show couldn't hold on to Sean Blakemore longer.

Robert/Sasha took a DNA test.

The man has had several names.  Coltin Scott and Stephen Martines are both names he used professionally.  It turns out he started swindling old rich ladies after his acting career dried up.  You can google it all.

I wish she could be a 2024 “dead” character instead.

It's always funny when people at the show tout Liz Korte as the historian of continuity. Under her watch they have retconned both Cody and Sasha as Scorpios in specific time periods where the supposed mothers were onscreen in frontburner story the entire time and could not possibly have been pregnant. The plain fact is the show thinks we're all stupid. I have no problem with Cody as Mac's son but it should've been by some fling from long ago, not Dominique.

Losing him was such a blow. It really was. He got his bag, booked another gig in primetime and said, "BYE!"

[Vee]

They were terrified of using him, which is why he was ultimately abandoned in a way similar to the Ashfords today - a C-pairing with Alexis nobody cared about but that FV and RC could plausibly call a pairing, and barely on for the T.J. 'story' about being his dad which crawled along for several years in the background. SB was the hottest man on the show in his tenure. Imagine them daring to heavily test him with Laura Wright today like they did when he first started.

Thanks. Wouldnt that make her older than Lulu though? I thought Sasha was supposed to be closer to Michael's age

 

Also pet peeve but I hate that they keep saying they got Lucky from Africa, he's going back to Africa....etc. Africa is a large CONTINENT made up of a bunch of different countries. Saying he was in Africa doesnt give a real indication of where he was. Drives me crazy! People dont say that when it comes to Asia

[Liberty City]

She is a historian of her own creation. It is bullshït.

[Vee]

It does. They expect us to believe Robert and Holly slept together immediately after her return in '92, when he was happily married to Anna (and I think she'd even been kidnapped for her exit by then, but don't quote me). Their stated angle is that Holly realized she was pregnant and had Sasha after Robert and Anna died off-camera in 1992. The problem with this is that Holly was onscreen, frontburner and in several major romances and adventure storylines nonstop from that point until the summer of 1993. It's embarrassing.

Loved me some Carly/Shawn!  They had such good chemistry.  Instead we get Carly hanging out with Brennen which is entirely pointless.  I know people on here like Brennen but he's such a useless character to me.  I keep wondering why he's still in PC.

I didn't mind Alexis/Shawn either, but you are right.  It was basically a non-pairing.  It sort of reminded me of the years when the show tried to make Mac/Alexis a thing and nothing ever came of it.  Obviously, two completely different character and couplings, but it just sort of lingered instead of moving anywhere.

When JMB took on Lulu in 2005  Lulu just turned 17. That means Lu Lu was  born in 1988.
