GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

Again, age is merely a construct on soaps. It genuinely is with retconned histories and SORAS at play.

Lulu was "born" in 1994, but was revised to 1988.

Michael was "born" in 1997, and has been revised multiple times. As of 2016, it's been revised to 1992, as the date on Morgan's tombstone is 1994, which would make Michael two-years older than Morgan.

It was designed to neuter Shawn by putting him with Alexis. I have a lot of fondness for both Alexis and Nancy but that's just the truth, she couldn't buy real story at the time and was seen as over the hill at that point until Julian came along.

I would happily take Shawn the tycoon back but I don't think it will happen.

Brennan has a funky witch's nose. I'm just putting it out there.

I just don’t pay attention to ages and dates with years anymore on soaps. I am of the opinion they should never include the year on headstones, etc. It’s just never going to line up with what happens onscreen with these couples. They want to drag out characters behavior long past reality, and then age up their late in life kids. Or give them kids young and try to stop time with aging them to keep the parents viable. It seems to me that for like 25+ years the ideal mental age range of a soap character is 25-35, even if they are pushing 50.

No Lulu again, what a disappointment.

Today’s episode was mostly filler before Ava’s trial. All of the scenes with characters discussing it felt like complete retreads so I got nothing to comment on there

Its a bit early for Sasha to be getting a pregnancy test no? Poor Mac always has to be responsible for watching over the 80s vets kids.

Michael trying to expose Drew to Curtis was funny. Curtis always comes across like a “shine your head for nickel” type company man so I wasn’t surprised he still mostly rode for his guy.

The scenes with Dante, Jason and the kids were nice though a bit corny. I wasn’t expecting Jason to decide to move into the Quartermaine mansion. Could be an interesting dynamic shift if they play it up.

It’s very noticeable and also jarring. There is no flow to any story because it’s being put together like a puzzle by people that don’t care anymore about any details, just getting it to air.

It's pretty clear FV and the show have spent more than a year scrambling. I wish someone with any power would sit him down and tell him flat out what he felt was working as far as his production model is broken beyond repair. He needs to take a step back, look critically at the big picture again and make changes or lose his job. Because some of the right decisions being made are being undone by bad scheduling and the stop and start stories.

I thought Monty hated working with strong writers but Valentini is worse than she ever was. And she repeatedly hired her own sister!

They will stay in their ratings gutter because no momentum is allowed to build anywhere. Anticipation is the bread and butter of this genre.

So just so I’m clear. A federal agent was murdered in Port Charles, and because Alexis didn’t do it they just said okay? Good enough for us? I hate that the writers treat us like we’re so stupid and have no memories.

Not gonna lie, I actually saw some chemistry with Gio and Trina today. Could we perhaps get a triangle?

    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
    • oh, definitely! It's too bad she hit the start of a rough transition period for the show. She shines, but she's stuck with bad story and some (if not exactly bad) not great co-stars.  Uh, who did Maureen O'Sullivan play? (Sigh--and only if I'd understood exactly who and how wonderful Teresa Wright was in '86) God, the summer of '84 was literally one event after another. Kim's outfit alone must've been worth a small fortune. And poor Maeve. She looks so uncomfortable. Rebecca Hollen told a story on Locher Room where Maeve dropped the f-bomb during the shooting of it. For some reason, she wasn't being listened to, and had just had enough. As a producer, I would've been holding my breath as my pregnant actress kept walking around strange and undoubtably uneven sets in that long skirt.
