GH: December 2024 Discussion Thread

while I agree to an extent, this is better than the last few years before the Mulcahey/Korte reset. It felt like most of the stories hinged on recurring people, or were mostly about them, and not the contract cast. At least right now the contract cast is driving story and appearance rates. That’s what was pissing me off- you have these people you locked down, who truly do cost significantly, and you are not using them as much to drive the stories as the recurring folks.

And I do wonder if the actual soap talents are paid a recurring fee above just the day rate? Not enough to hit the budget, but certainly more than the random doctors and nurses they use often.

I’m not familiar with Nina and Lulu’s history but I loved them going at it today lol. Nina couldn’t care less about the coma and let her know ASAP

Lulu hanging up on Erica Kane was a nice wink wink nod nod as well.

I loved the Carly and Brennan confrontation, he looked legitimately hurt by her betrayal which seemed to actually shake her. I loved Carly coming to retrieve Lulu and their reunion scenes were kind of awkward but the last shot with them about to interrogate Brennan was I didn’t think there was any Carly propping here and I also see certain fans are still trying to push the “Carly and Lulu weren’t close” outrage but the show has gone out of its way to address that at this point. Seems like folks are complaining just to complain now.

Sasha and Maxie scenes were nice. I loved the family support and the tension when Willow interrupted leading to Maxie ranting about how Elizabeth blamed her for everything that went down with Lucky and the summer of sleaze was funny. Give me my Luxie reunion mane!

Felicia taking Maxie’s kids Christmas tree shopping leading to a random frat bro fight that ends with Dex getting stabbed was good stuff, I was entertained lol. Loved Felicia playing detective here and it was clearly Cyrus running amok again.

Curtis setting a trap for Drew is the most interesting he’s ever been since I’ve seen him. Drew clearly views him as a simp lackey because he’s not even trying to placate him for real. Drew deserves whatever he gets.

LOL at Willow wanting to tell Michael about the affair after Christmas. Boy does she have a storm coming

I’m over Brad stalking Lucas. Portia had it right with him, kind of wish he was the one who filled Sam’s bag with digitalis instead so he’d be off my screen soon. Just not a fan of the actor, character, or his little antics.

Trina is annoyed Kai actually did his half of the project and did it well…yeah okay she’s grating on my nerves too at this point.

-- It's very cool that Dex's hair remained perfectly styled while he was at GH as a "stabbing victim."

-- That whole teenage brawl was embarrassingly written. Was it worth all that to make us consider that one of those boys stabbed Dex?

-- I had to LOL that the police didn't clear that entire area after the stabbing -- while the same 5 people continued to stare at a few Xmas trees for no apparent reason.

The writing for Trina continues to be bad. She does one 180 after another regarding Kai, and TA isn't helping matters with her inauthentic performance.

    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
    • That is one of the best insults I've heard in a long time.  I burst out laughing when Kat called Eva that.  LOL Their scenes, of course, were really good.  Colby and Ambyr have so much chemistry.  The only thing I'd change is Kat saying "you're dead to me."  That's a phrase usually said about someone you care about.  I would've preferred something like "You will never be my sister," or something similar to that.  Nice contrast at the end with both mothers/daughters:  Kat comforting/consoling her mother, and Eva being locked out by her mother.  Yeah, I wasn't a big of fan of the singing either, especially after your daughter's life has been destroyed.  What?  LOL And I also agree with those that thought Dana/Leslie's scenes with the Dupree's didn't feel right since Eva is not a Dupree....unless she is.  But as of right now, she's not. 
    • Trisha Mann-Grant, Ambyr Michelle, Sean Freeman are destined for bigger and better things. They need to move on as soon as their initial contracts are done.
    • Daphnée Duplaix and Trisha Mann-Grant on Instagram live, 5/5/2025 just concluded, saved here https://www.instagram.com/p/DJSsYb7PDv8/                
    • I really need to see Anita in a scene that isn't with a family member. In fact, I would have preferred that she would have gotten rid of the mob and had a one on one with Leslie to lay down the law with her.  I'm going to say it, Mike Manning has been completely lifeless on this show. Other than people's superficial fondness for him, I don't get what they see in him as an actor. I never saw him on DAYS though. The show had another really strange cut right before the opening credits where it looked like they almost cut off Nicole mid-sentence.  Kat/Eva are carrying this show on their backs. Lock them in for lifetime contracts, I beg.
    • There's a 1980 scene of Victor and Katherine in the Chancellor Estate living room where they went over a contract that would put Victor in charge of Chancellor Industries, but it was rewritten that Katherine brought Victor to Genoa City so he could run Chancellor Industries.
    • Put me in the minority in being happy about Cat not being Abby. After the two adult recasts played tag with the role, it's time for a few years of rest. I have a huge list of things I hate about RC's writing, but that choice was not one of them.
