GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

My previous post should have said that Lexi Ainsworth's last stint was from August 2018 to March 2023, a five-year period in which she appeared in a total of 116 episodes. Kate Mansi might match that total in one year.

The Lexi stans I know from Twi/X originally are just, I think, holding on too long & too hard. Also they seem to think she'd have shone with this material, despite what so many other people think. Lexi was a class act, all the way, and Kate & Lexi talked to each other, according to Mansi & they are friendly colleagues & there's no bad blood between them. Given all that went on to accomplish the restructuring the Davis women, that they both seem like grown-ups is to me, Swell! Possibly you know all of this. Kate does get some hate online & I don't pretend to understand it. This one guy posts anti-Kate Mansi every day & he alleges that she's ugly. ???? Although that's not all he says. 

And, to the question who does Carly have? Carly has Jason. Even without Romantic Jarly, Friend Jarly is a pretty good thing to have going on. We could take this further & say Carly has Sonny but she doesn't want that, not anymore. Also, I surmise you could say that Carly has Brennan. Notice anything? Right, no girls!

Drew tells Michael they need to have an honest conversation, and he immediately starts it by lying

. He’s such a sleaze now, I love it. He’s totally using Aurora to try and smooth things over with Michael while lying straight to his face. Michael acting like a Quartermaine and recording the convo, was perfect too. This Willow affair is about to put Drew on an island because he won’t stop lying. Chad played those scenes so well. His complete disgust with lying ass Drew just below the surface.
 

Poor Curtis. His friend is betraying him and doesn’t have the balls to even tell him. I know it’s unpopular around these parts but I actually like the current Jordan actress. At one point they had a little flirtation between her and Drew but obviously it went nowhere. I also don’t mind Curtis or the actor. Again alot of my opinions are colored by being away from the show for years, so I assume I missed Curtis phoning it in. 

Kristina on the stand was annoying as expected. I’m ready for Ric to rip her apart as a witness.

So glad the Lulu story is moving. It really helps that Alexa favors the Lulu I preferred. Excited to see where this goes and hopefully no more massive breaks in movement.

    • I love many things about BTG very much. For me, it's greatest strength is how the family relationships are so beautifully written. The deep love between family members while acknowledging each other's flaws--it's SO GOOD.  The best of the best is the two sister relationships: loving but very different sisters Dani and Nicole and adversarial sisters Kat and Eva. These two relationships can anchor the show for many years to come, in my opinion. (The one caveat is that the young and very talented Colby and Ambyr may want to leave the show sooner rather than later, but that's to be expected). My biggest problem with this show is this: Where are the romantic love stories? Where are the star-crossed lovers? Almost every character on this show is married, or in a committed relationship, or just fooling around. Right now the only potential for this are in the Ashley/Andre/Derek and Kat/Tomas/Eva situations. Like a lot of people, I feel the sooner they ditch Ashley and Derek, the better. I hate picking on actors, but the characters are so blah and bland it's like they're a parody of soap characters. I like Andre, and there's some indication they might have him become more serious about Dani, but I don't see that becoming a big love story. I could be wrong. Kat and Eva fighting over a man would be amazing. Over Tomas? No.  I've noticed on social media some people are starting to ship Kat and Jacob. I think that shows how much viewers long for a messy love story. There is much I enjoy about BTG and I have no intention of bailing on it. But over all my many years of watching soap operas, the thing that always got me the most excited about them was the question: "When are those two finally going to get together?"

        Some initial thoughts.   1) a Who's who back in the day with an assortment of well known performers. 2) Surprised Debra Messing would agree to play a conservative character 3) Not surprised a network didn't pick this up because showing a conservative that is human/likable is a no no in Hollywood LOL
    • Yes from when they went on Let’s Make a Deal too. Pam stole Forrester designs for Jackie M. Of course a month later we saw Nick, Lesley, Owen, and Bridget all exit in the same episode.
    • Great pairing that seemed to come out of the blue! Around that time, it felt like Sheffer/Goutman didn’t really know what to do with Emily or Hal. And KM and BH had surprisingly great chemistry. It was good for Emily especially because she was coming off those unsympathetic years with the Tom affair and then running the Intruder and essentially just being a busybody.
    • I think the issue with Lulu is less the character (which was the issue in the Julie Berman days under Guza II) and more the lack of nuance. The current GH team rarely writes nuance for any character or at least can't sustain it for long, or they reserve it for a favored few. I also think the rooting interest at GH BTS often remains on preferred characters or actors - BLQ/Setton - vs. Laura's kids. So it's easy to make Lulu the heavy if you think Brook Lynn and Chase are the money on this show. I don't, but I think FV does. And that's not to say I think Amanda Setton is bad in the role, or that I would get rid of BLQ. I don't trend towards either (though I do think that if Setton's personal beliefs keep getting in the way of material I would reluctantly recast). I think Brook Lynn is essential to use as a lead presently. But I don't think it needs to be the black and white dichotomy of suffering young matriarch BLQ and aggressor Lulu. While it's good that unlike in the Guza years they can recognize that Lulu can be obnoxious and rash, can be her own worst enemy and that that is part of the character, it can be toned down or given more layers than it has of late. There's nothing wrong there the writing can't fix.
    • 1999: I just watched it. It felt so primetime. La Lucci is making history. Aretha's daydreaming segment. @Contessa Donatella Thank you, my love. So helpful and informative as always. adding them to my queue.
    • I know this isn’t a usual or anywhere near universal take, but I loved the relatively brief Hal/Emily relationship/marriage more than I ever thought I would have with KMH/BH.
    • In my field (not that) I've written my share of dreck when it's what people wanted vs. something good. In the end what matters is the check. These pilots may not be great, but whether or not those writers intended otherwise they got paid.
