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.

    • 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.
