GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

You were right lol.  All I can say is I guess a little Nina goes a long way for me 

[Contessa Donatella]

Reminds me of that long-standing joke about how much actors cannot stand playing coma!! The best humor sometimes comes directly from the truth.

On the plus side, Lulu has a new nephew named Ace.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, baby Ace & unlike everyone else she gets to know him without Esme!!! She's so  lucky!

And I just tagged you two in the Episode Count to say that very thing!!! lol.

 

Yeah, I don't see Joss going anywhere.

 

But Nina...*sips*  

 

Let's see how November Sweeps goes.

I remember being impressed by him a few months back when he had scenes with GF. He more than held his own with DZ, GF, and NLG on Friday’s episode (it doesn’t take much to be better than MB these days, so not mentioning him lol). He’s really the strongest younger actor on the show and they should invest in writing more for him if they intend to write more for that age group. 

The kid playing Danny also leveled up, but you can visibly tell he’s not quite as good as the Rocco actor yet.

Too bad the old nephew is (possibly only presumed) dead though (Spencer)

[Aragorn]

Here is my future plot prediction: 

1. Lulu will wake up and fully recover.

2. Lucky and Lulu will both grow fond of Ace, who is both their nephew and adopted brother.

3. Ric will win the lawsuit against the maker of Heather's hip. Both Ric and Heather will become rich off the damages they are rewarded.

4. After she has money, Heather will return to town and seek custody of her grandson Ace.

5. Amidst this custody battle, a DNA test will finally be done to determine whether Ace is really Nik's son.

I didn't like today's episode.

Yes, the individual performances were fine, but the grief and cry scenes were unrelenting --  just one after another, and for me that diluted any emotional impact.

I realize we have to see a lot of people reacting to Sam's death, and I know that can't be dragged over 2 weeks, but something about this screamed overkill to me.

I also find it head-scratching that the episode ended with Holly and Robert, and not with the Sam montage with Laura's voiceover.

Stupid decision.

[Contessa Donatella]

In case you'd like to know, today is Laura Wright's anniversary. It was Sweeps Nov. 2005 when they introduced her as Carly. 19 years ago today. How can it possibly have been so long?!!! 

[Sapounopera]

It's good to have you back Tessa.

The Laura Wright-Carly situation is when an iconic character ends up being played the longest by a capable actor who doesn't really suit it and eventually transforms it into something new they are comfortable with. But something always feels off. 

Many examples on other shows as well. 

[Antoyne]

Thank you for the tag! It’s funny we both said 5 and it was actually less

It is so wild to think it’s been this long and I still just see it as Laura Wright playing Carly instead of Carly as a character. I’ve grown to accept Laura since she’s obviously going nowhere but she still isn’t my favorite though she sells the Jason relationship impeccably.
