GH: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[Vee]

It's time for Mansi to take a few months off.

[Contessa Donatella]

LOL, I don't think so, although liking Brad does probably qualify as a "minority" position, but don't worry about it, most of us inhabit those "minority" positions at one point or another! I certainly have.

About Kate Mansi & Kristina, I feel sure she is delivering exactly what Frank wants. And, he's not done, doing whatever to the character. He's seemingly going to push Kristina all the way to the edge AND then over the cliff.

Off to the looney bin for Kristina, after Molly smacks the fück out of her.

Scotty looks like he used to direct porn back in the day. I wouldn't mind a serious version of him, I hate it when veterans have to act like clowns, so that TPTB keep them around.

No one is making Kin behave or do his hair like that.

They need to let Molly smack Kristina, that dig at the end of today saying Molly wasn’t really IRENE’s mother was so nasty.

I’m glad Ava went free as expected and Sonny and Alexis vs Ric and Ava was good stuff. They’re clearly pivoting to the Avery custody battle quickly.

Stella was right about Portia being unprofessional but I can’t stand Brad and hate her being used to prop him. Ew at him succeeding at adding himself to the seminar retreat group so he can stalk Lucas.

Do they just rework the same Deception script every time they’re featured? I’m glad Lois finally killed her proper accent but they need to come up with a new plot for this group ASAP.

Trina and Kai are getting a little repetitive for me and Tabyana Ali seems really nervous in their scenes in a way that makes her acting stiff. I still like Kai’s actor though and I hope they start building his character backstory some more.

Molly should've beaten the sh!t out of Kristina. Her murder mystery can't come soon enough.

The courtroom scenes were nicely acted. Considering how big of a deal they made of the trial the suspense fell flat.

[ranger1rg]

-- Ooooooh, what spicy dialogue today! Kai and Trina both got to say "pissed." GH takes such chances and shows so much courage!

-- Trina and Kai arguing over this one class is hard to watch. Why don't they work on the project instead of arguing about it over and over? And spare me with the idea that Kai's playing for a bigtime college program when he has to beat Lanville in the next game.

-- This Home & Heart stuff is so bad. The Chat podcast insists that "Mickey Mouse is unhappy and they're cutting the budget." Is that true? Because if it is, how does stuff like this make it to air? Yeah, I realize they want to move product on their shopping website, but come on.

-- I LMAO when Brad's phone showed that the cost to register for the primary care physician symposium was $50. Do these writers research anything?  Registration would be anywhere from $500 to over $1000.

-- Those extensions and wig on Kate Mansi were a bit much.

[Contessa Donatella]

Crossed a line & a line that should never have been crossed. Alexis needs to let Kristina have it, verbally, although even if she could work up to it & say it, just blast her, Kristina would just go to Sonny, which may be what we saw in the end of show preview of next day.

Yeah, that's the only way Kristina & Sonny can get their vengeance against Ava.

 

Agreed. 

That "story" where Tracy convinced Lois to "talk right" wasn't really a story at all, just one huge waste of time. The writers have no business writing things that lame. At least it's over. 

Fans had said that Josh said in an interview that they taped Thanksgiving scenes. If so, where the heck were they?

 

 

[Antoyne]

I will not be satisfied until Molly slaps the taste out of Kristina’s mouth. That final line today was just disgusting. Is there another window she can fall out of?

[Taoboi]

You're not. Us southerners know.

Yeah, I do love that we always have sets...something actually got about Frank's production. But I also miss the longer scenes we had under PM. But I have also enjoyed how much the actor/actresses are eating up their scenes and giving them depth in spite of the quick scenes. Especially last week.

 

It's the love of Eileen Davidson.  

 

But awww thank you for this.  

Hahahaha. Happy Friday!! 

[Contessa Donatella]

You can't get more Southern than me & we never used Aunt, Auntie, Uncle, etc. But, all of us 10 grandkids, call each other Cuz. 

I'm a total pushover for ED!

 

[Taoboi]

LMAO

LOL. Indeed. 

 

Same re: ED.

 

And you all can add me to the 'I Like Brad' list. Though I am missing Ms. Wu something fierce.

I want Scotty on GH, too, but I wish they would write for him effectively. That hasn't been the case in years.

As the longest-running character on GH, debuting in 1965, I think he deserves a place on the canvas. (I know there are people who don't care about such things.)

The character of Julie on DAYS also debuted in 1965, but more than likely Scotty began appearing on GH before November of that year, which is when DAYS was launched.)

For me, part of the joy and comfort of soaps is watching characters whom we have known for years/decades. Newer viewers (well, newer compared to me) have told me that older characters are irrelevant to today's audiences and could easily be discarded, but I want to see people like Scotty Baldwin, Jill Foster, Julie Williams, Maggie Horton, etc. on screen.

While soaps cannot be top-heavy with dozens of characters over 60 (bringing in fresh blood has always been important), I truly believe that even youngsters in the audience enjoy seeing the vets. Alice Horton, Lila Quartermaine, Bert Bauer, Katherine Chancellor: younger viewers loved them as much as we, the oldtimers, did.

If Leslie Charleson or Denise Alexander are ever up to appearing on GH again, I'd happily accept them in any capacity.

Seeing Rachel Ames as Audrey Hardy again (I know this is dreaming in Technicolor) would make me ugly cry.

You wouldn't be alone. I would ugly cry right along with you. I miss Audrey deeply.
