It’s rough that Eden has to play another dead boyfriend.  They are on the way to making her the new Maxie as far as dead lovers at such a young age.

I really just can't with GH right now. Yes, there is a lot of dead weight and an overly bloated cast but they are getting rid of the wrong people!

I definitely thought Ava was on her way out in the brief PM regime.

That alone is enough to make me look at the PM tenure as a fail. With a cast of dozens, you're getting rid of Maura West? Just no.

I actually felt bad for Eden McCoy to have to play out scenes of a second boyfriend dying, especially since she lost her mother.   I know her mom didn't pass away that recently, but I still sort of felt sad for her

I feel bad for Eden, too, and it's really the reason I'm not sure about killing off Dex. Three deaths for Joss already? There were a lot of ways to make the Dex character work, and GH avoided all of them.

 

I didn't think Patrick intended on killing Ava. I get it that he felt he couldn't write for such a large, bloated cast. I understand why since it seemed he was intent on writing for everyone.

We all had our own cut lists, usually of 15 people, different ones of us chose different people to cut. Such a disappointment when there simply was no purge. 

Now on to today.

I loved the reactions on all the faces at the Q Xmas party. Finally Carly knows why Jason fought with Drew! The last thing Willow should do is grab those kids. Is Dex really dead or is this a fake-out? If it is, it's a really good one.

As everyone knows I am not the biggest Ava or MW fan, but it seems a bit silly to me.  I will say Ava had lost her way as a character and PM was pivoting her back into villain territory which is where Ava should stay.

Then again, I am an active Sam hater and I probably wouldn't have gotten rid of KeMo either.  I never thought Sam was useful, but she had history and a decent sized fanbase.  I am not sad about losing Sam-just a little shocked.  I would have fired at least 10 people before her.

I liked Dex fine.  You could have done something with the character.  I won't miss him, but at least he and Joss got some actual sexy love scenes.  Like someone said above, Joss is veering into Maxie territory with the dead boyfriends.  I thought she did a pretty good job yesterday with the material.

Ready for a good laugh? The person that wrote this article describes him as steely, and so integral the show will never be the same again. Oh to be white, muscular and young, people let you get away with mediocrity! This entire article is peppered with nonsense!

Yeah, Joss as a character mostly annoys me, but I do think Eden's a decent actress.

The problem with GH for me is there are a lot of characters I just don't feel passionate about.  I don't love them or actively hate them.  They are just there.  I don't have any personal investment in them.

I think that's why I still like Sonny and Jason.  I obviously know they both have been ruined and are awful, but they at least made me feel something once.

Oh brother. I wish this was accurate lol!!!

I can't believe his exit made news anywhere but SOD. 

Glad to get MB's thoughts on Evan Hofer's acting.😂

I mean, I get it. He’s hot.

But the writer was kinda giving off a Ron Carlivati - RSW vibe 😂😂

I know Ron's left the building now, but I could actually see EH as a Tripp or Joey recast on Days.😂

It’s fine. I think Ron preferred brunettes anyway 😂

I wouldn’t mind seeing him as Tripp or Joey. It would be nice to see what he could do as a character that has actual ties to a show’s canvas. Having him basically be stuck with Joss and Sonny was a big mistake.

There is a lot of truth to this for me too. And what you said about Sonny and Jason colors my viewing habits of the entire show. It used to make me feel something, and so I am still tied there out of my history, and how I feel about the genre as a whole.

I actually didn't mind Dex having no ties to the canvas.  It feels like everyone on GH has become someone's long lost child these past few years.  Sticking him with Joss and her friends all the time was weird.  Dex seemed too old for them.  In typical GH fashion, the show had no idea what to do with Dex and just kept him around to give Joss something to do.  The Sonny stuff was silly because it never really went anywhere.  Sonny found out, beat Dex up, and.........the end lol.
