GH: December 2024 Discussion Thread

I cannot believe we have a paternity story playing out involving one character (Cody), that was just in one himself. I think AI would be capable of at least this level of writing, which is disgusting.

Also- much like with Jax, once you see how an actor is vibing with the character and costars, tweaks should be made. No corporate raider was ever as much of a nice guy as Jax, and that’s because they wrote to Ingo’s strengths. Gio should not be saddled with this. The actor has a light, charming touch and they should play to that. Dante, after his mother hid Sonny as his father from him should not be saddled with this. Lois would not do this to anyone. The secret of Jason’s accident coverup by Ned was one of the final nails in the coffin to their marriage.

The issues with pacing have become even worse. We just zip along. I am trying to not just rip the show apart in every post. But there is so much potential and it’s frustrating to watch.

Not just violin boy, also, wasn't he orphaned at 10? No father, at least not known, not suggesting anything unusual to his conception. Then his mother up & dies. I presume he had not grandparents or aunts or uncles who could take him in, so Sonny stepped up. It's true I can't stand the guy but he has this reputation of being the mobster with the heart of gold. I have to stop this immediately before I throw up.

Haha. Thanks!

It is good to see a lot of old AMC-ers. 

Michael Knight (but I guess he's gone now?)

Alexa, Cameron, Finola, even Genie and Maurice were on AMC for a bit.

I was never a fan of Ryan on AMC, but CM seems to show some range with Drew.

Oh and JPS (Valentin) was on AMC too.

Also, forgot Eva

-- These "Propping Natalia" scenes are too much. Do these writers really think we're buying this kind of redemption? "I'm not that person any more" doesn't work for me, especially with Kristina AGAIN saying the baby felt like hers and Blaze's.

-- TJ and Curtis constantly referring to each other as "Uncle" and "Nephew" is awkward as hell.

-- SMH at Dante going to Sonny -- of all people -- for advice on how to deal with his kids.

-- And no, I don't give a rat's ass if Charlotte is returned to her mother.

They're not going to give up on trying to get us to change our opinions, feelings, etc. about Natalia. [sigh] When they dig in like this on a character, I become increasingly annoyed. And, Kristina is just letting herself be in denial because Ali told her flat-out that she was NOT prepared for them to be parents yet AT ALL. 

Drove me crazy. But, then, Curtis often does. And his relationship with Jordan is inappropriate. Why wasn't he having that conversation with his wife, Portia?!!

But, about the Gio retcon, I'm actually looking forward to it. It could possibly put so many different combinations of people in soapy messy angst. I don't think anyone knows who Gio's bio-parents were except for Lois.

I'm not sure, and that just goes to today's dialogue being so awkward. There are ways to remind us they're related and how without being odd.

I'm OK with a Gio retcon since what they've done with the character so far is a big nothing. Still, attaching him to BLQ is a mess. I've grown to really dislike AS and her rules for playing Brook Lynn. I want people like her off the show.

I agree with you -- Dom is a good 45 and a really good looking guy.

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
