GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

Well they seem avoidant on playing the affair longer and definitely on Drew and Nina getting serious which I feel would have happened before the writer change on both fronts. 

 

I admit that while I can't stand to look at Sonny right now, I have greatly enjoyed how he has been there for Alexis and allowed her to lean on him. The chemistry is still there.

I think it's too late, predominantly because it is clear this team has zero rooting interest in Drew or especially Nina who can barely buy airtime these days. If they were going to invest in it they'd be doing so. At least with Sonny out of her life Nina is no longer getting ritualistically humiliated by the entire cast twice a week as retribution via Korte.

I do think Drew Q gives good political animal or scoundrel under either regime, but I just don't think they will invest in it or give him enough layers back. So at this point I'd let him run its scheming course for as long as possible over the next however many months, then kill him.

They actually did do Sam/Jason dirty with that non-wedding.  After everything they went through.  I know it was supposed to be their "laid-back" style, but it was a disservice to their fans.

I thought Brad was related to some of those characters which seemed liked an opening to bring more on, but I guess it was dropped like most things.

 

So it seems like it would be extremely easy to bring these characters on?  What a miss when there are so few Asian characters on any soap.

+ 1

 

Heck, that last point could be its own little storyline. 

[Vee]

I honestly have zero interest in another round of pointless Look What We Did guest cameos from old characters like Jade or her husband. I'd much rather see other new relatives or acquaintances from the AQ brought on and invested in seriously. Then down the road if Tia Carrere needs a paycheck, why not. (I always liked her in Wayne's World.)

[Liberty City]

It genuinely could be.

[Taoboi]

Then again, perhaps I shouldn't say that. These New/Old Writers have managed to greatly reduce the 'wacka wacka' humor they put in their stories at the wrong moment. And I could see them putting Alexis in a storyline like that just to bring it back.

And Relic Hunter.  Relic Hunter was sort of like a combination of Lara Croft and Xena, and not well done, but I adored Tia Carrere in the role.
In general, I appreciate kick-butt female characters, which is why I loved the original Anna Devane before she was watered down.

I am not really interested in bringing Yank and Jade back or anything long term, but children (teens/young adults) related to them would interest me.  I do believe both Yank and Jade worked at the hospital so they could be useful in a recurring sense in that way as well.  Tbh, I am not sure if Yank and Jade ever even left PC or GH.  They just work off screen lol. Of course, the thing this show needs is more characters lol.

Thank you. I don’t see the need to kill off Drew. A sleazy Quartermaine politician is perfect to me. We’ll be past Sam’s death soon.

[Taoboi]

A great silly show for sure. A good time for syndication.

 

Alas poor Anna. Don't even remind me. I loved having that brand of her back earlier this year.

[Liberty City]

Trust me, I have visions of what could be in 2025 if, and only IF we get a whole new creative regime. But, do I see that happening? It's slim to none.

[Taoboi]

Very. This is probably the most power that Drew has ever had. They should run with it. 

 

But as has been mentioned, given he's not getting any balance writing-wise...Drew could easily be getting written into a corner leading to a murder mystery. 

[Liberty City]

Not unless their returns were what ushered in the new relatives/acquaintances.

Yes I was saving up money in order to subscribe to Hulu when I read recaps and posts here about how Mulcahey was writing Anna.  Finally!  But then ... he was gone, so I'm glad I never spent the money.
