GH: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[ranger1rg]

-- LMAO at Ava's credit card being declined. Since when do waiters say things such as "I'm afraid you'll have to destroy your card, Miss Jerome"?

-- Also LOL, as well as rolling my eyes, at all the football stuff.

       -- PCU plays on a weekday?

       -- No one cared about football or even mentioned it before this, yet now everyone is a fan?

        -- A TV appears in the Q mansion for the first time so we can turn on the football game?

There had to be a better way to get Michael's slut shaming video in front of the others.

So unrelated to GH, but I worked in retail management and I once had a teenage employee cut up a customers declined credit card because that's "what he saw on tv" and thought that's what you did with the card.

It didn't go over well with the customer.

[Liberty City]

No, it's been there before. Just don't ask when.

[ranger1rg]

I live for these moments, tbh. Makes up for the ridiculous story and dialogue.

Yeah, poor Trina is right. This makes All American look like Citizen Kane.

 

Speaking of crazy people....who are the idiots who think making Kristina this unlikable is the answer? Sometimes the actor can be blamed, but in this case, I can't blame Kate Mansi. I think the writing for her is terrible, making her cold and brittle.

If Trina is still at the Q's for the Willow/Drew fall-out Friday and Willow is like Drew saved me by bringing Obrect back, I hope Trina was like, that was not Drew that was Spencer & I that made that happen.

This was maybe 15 years ago and I still wondered if the kid was only watching 80's movies or something because that wasn't a thing.  I just did see it happen with my own eyes lol.

Also, how does Ava not know she doesn't have any money?  You would get a bank alert or something, right?  

All American is where I think they are going with all of this because, of course.

The episode was a big disaster.

I kept laughing through the whole thing. 

Poor Jane Elliot.

[ranger1rg]

Exactly -- especially since Ric was notified while sitting at the same table just a minute after her  card was declined.

The sad thing is that "No one's thinking this through" can't even be used as a defense or explanation. They just don't care about viewers. It's a lack of respect and the feeling that we'll put up with anything. I guess that's partly true.

At this point I’m hoping Cyrus decides he wants to kill another Davis girl and takes out Kristina before the holidays. I am so over this character. There is absolutely nothing likeable about her and it pains me as a Mansi fan.

[Soapsuds]

I've said there needs to be a murder mystery involving Kristina. There would be lots of suspects.

Imagine turning Kristina into this cauldron of bitterness and hate while trying desperately to redeem Natalia and pimp her as some sweet soul "deep down inside." And imagine part of that pimping being Natalia talk about how good Sonny is with his kids.

To me Michael E. Knight is an excellent actor. Eva is beautiful, hot, exciting & she also has a primetime pedigree as well. I don't think this was stunt casting.  

I'll give you Sonny, but Carly to me is still a fascinating character. In the new Women's World article Laura Wright talks about Carly's growth

We saw Sonny give her Charlie's right after the Phyllis mention. We just found out that Kristina has closed it pending her deciding whatever the heck she's going to do???? I wonder why she wants to change it. I guess we'll find out. Can Kristina hold it together & not frighten away any guests?!!!

[DRW50]

I was too glib...I enjoyed some of their work, and I actually would be one of the few who liked a fair amount of Eva's return stint as Maria. It's just that this type of casting relying on the name without the character doesn't work for me unless the person brings amazing riches to a soap. I'd rather see some AMC, OLTL, Loving, Ryan's Hope, Young Marrieds, whatever, characters if I had to choose.

[Liberty City]

Absolutely!! I agree.

[Aragorn]

I think that Dex dies.
