GH: November 2024 Discussion Thread

The "writer" is, I believe, a certain someone who once was HW of OLTL and recently finished a stint as HW on Days...

^^^ding, ding, ding!!!

Thanks so much! I can certainly understand using a code, a kind of a euphemism, for him. I'm still struggling with the news of "this writer" getting a new job.

Suddenly I'm hearing bells. Hmmm. I may have to have my hearing checked. Or maybe just begin singing, "There were bells (on a hill?) but I never heard them ringing" at least not here.

Really, it's not odd, not at all. On my own, without being prompted by Support, I discovered this little trick. It's just a workaround in case the new episode you want is not showing up the way you want it to. Then, this is another way. It's like you're tricking the software into letting you see the show you want. You need to think of yourself as James Bond (or Jane) and the software is the diabolical Evil Empire trying to keep you from seeing your show. Jason or Janet Bourne works also.

Not the workaround being odd. The fact that Hulu was acting funny yesterday. I like workaround. For example, thank you to @janea4old for the workaround on the embedded tweets in the Politics thread. Cuz a lot of people were wondering.

OIC. Well, to be fair, Hulu usually isn't odd. Just on an occasional day or night. And, yes, Jane is a treasure.

Yes, it comes from Tony Geary referring to RC as "the writer" in a context/tone that was ... nonappreciative.

[Taoboi]

^Yep, yep.

[Contessa Donatella]

Oh, yes, now I get it. TG was actively dissing him. He said, among other things that even when the two of them were seated at the same table at awards ceremonies that he never addressed him, at all, at least not by name.

I will always be thankful to Ron Carlivati for wanting to change MB's status as leading man on GH.

Monday’s episode was sad as hell but had a lot of excellent performances

Jason telling Maxie and Spinelli was heart breaking. The JaSam and Spixie dynamic was one of my favorite parts of those later Guza years so I’m glad the show gave their history the respect it deserves. Wonderful emotional work from all three actors. The acknowledgment of Sam being the reason they all were even in each other’s lives was especially poignant.

The Danny and Carly scenes were sweet as well. The ending with Jason walking in, Danny running to hug him and Jason mouthing “thank you” to Carly was a nice call back to their scenes from the Josslyn and Jake donor transplant story.

Rocco telling Laura he was basically manifesting Sam’s death was a shocker lol, his actor continues to do standout work. Love watching Laura as a grandmother

Dante and Sonny scenes were good as well. The breaking down DZ plays every time the engagement comes up really hits emotionally.

Nancy Lee Grahn and Kristen Vaganos continued to do excellent work too, Alexis breaking down like that really got me man kudos. Same for Molly’s devastation realizing the last time she saw Sam she was storming out because the sisters couldn’t stop fighting.

I’m not exactly sure what Mansi was attempting to do in these scenes but she fell completely flat for me. Cameron Mathison was the same way in his scenes with Scout’s actress. I hope the show eases up on even showcasing their character’s perspective anymore after these lackluster performances

Robert and Anna were once again not needed for the episode. Really weird how they had their scenes end the episode instead of the montage with Laura narrating. Guess PM really can’t be blamed for all the terrible episode closing choices under his regime.

Willow and Drew having sex during this sad moment is offensive. Now Willow will be pregnant and not know who the father is.

The Sasha actress won the actress battle with the Willow actress.

[Contessa Donatella]

I really could not believe they went there! I do not know what is wrong with Willow. Her brain does not seem to work. And, I was high-fiving Sasha!
