GH: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[Toups]

Why do you think whose name appears on top means anything?  It's just a rotation.  Crediting/blaming one writer over the other based on the rotation has no credibility. 

[Vee]

IIRC Gio came on simply very sheltered about Sonny's life, grateful to him and expressing that he didn't know much about Sonny's business or why people hated him. This was just as Sonny was about to beat down Dex before Kristina's eyes at the Chase wedding.

[Taoboi]

Yeah, that at least is still clear...her love for Jason and Carly.

 

They would probably mess it up, but one can dream. 

Yay! Good to hear. 

 

 

That might be because most writers...or at least their ideas...do have certain characteristics that can stand out...for better or for worse. 

 

I've mentioned for a while things that I liked and things that I don't like in the writing style since the New/Old Writers have taken over. And as the weeks and months have gone by, some characteristics do stand out. And I thought it was very interesting over the last day or so, episodes that have EK's name at the top of the episode have a certain bit of characteristics to them (for me scenes with more emotional resonance as I said yesterday) versus when CVE's have a certain bit of characteristics which happen to be most (note...not all) of the things that have bugged me a bit (as I call it the wacka wacka slapsticky humor) about the style in the writing. But that's me with my writer hat on and picking on me not picking up on that before the last day or so. But my posts stand for themselves so I ain't about to go over every detail of my reasoning since it's just a page or two back. Liberty was simply responding. And I also thought it would be nice now that the New/Old Writers have been there for a good minute to have a discuss on them and their 'individual' episodes so to speak. 

Regardless of the breakdown writers and script writers, the plotting is still noticeable enough to be noticed IMHO. So depending on writers' name does make a difference. 

[Taoboi]

You would.

Grateful, unless he is involved with She of the Beautiful Dark Locks, I want to say that I'm in the DisLike Sonny crew...but I will admit he only seems to get me out of that crew when he's in scenes with Dante ONLY. 

 

It probably was. It was the first time they gave Gio something different to play and it gave the first sign of organic conflict between Gio and Trina if the writers were planning on putting them together which is why those scenes stood out. Gio definitely idolizes Sonny while Trina's friendship with Ava runs deep. Once Gio learned the Sonny/Ava history, he felt a way about Ava getting him to work at the art gallery when he was looking for exposure.

[Antoyne]

Look at this point I think the only thing that will work on you is Sonny causing Brenda’s death And then Ric can gloat that Sonny did it and I can live happily ever after

[Taoboi]

 

Your mom ain't the only one who swoons. And like Antoyne said...when Isaiah actor gets that look...mmmm *swoons*

 

 

I admit that as much as it seem like Drew is being written into a corner, CM is making him very love to hate. CM hasn't played Drew like Drew was since he appeared in that prison with all that scruff. So if they are going to do something with Drew....at least we are getting Drew Q. And there was some development to this point. And yes, CM has great antagonistic chemistry with SB's Jason. Love that the simmer it had throughout the year has finally started to boil over and the Qs are right in the middle of it. Then again...whoever wins against Jason?

It’s not a very nice feeling to be tossed aside by someone who means a lot to you

[Contessa Donatella]

LOL! Yeah, this confirms several things I had heard that he's been saying! Sorry to say he sounds delusional to me!

But, my #1 takeaway is that Cameron talks very fast, which Drew does not! Interesting. 

Also thanks for finding & posting this. 

[Vee]

I think Mulcahey had recrafted him into being kind of the political/business-mindeed Quartermaine operator and rakish, somewhat gray rogue character, but not a full-on heel as he's rapidly become now under the returning team. Both iterations work here and Cameron plays them well, but I do think Drew's likely to join Sam in the hereafter very soon. Which is too bad IMO, but unsurprising. This show always knows how to squander good opportunities.

[Contessa Donatella]

Agree & also agree with your presumed perspective that quite a bit about this writing team IS NOT CLEAR. I find them confounding, perplexing & downright confusing. 

Right! Or right? Anyway, yes, likely they would mess up fill-in-the-blank. But, you'd think a Gio/Trina/Kai triangle would write itself!!

I am one who doesn't know what it is you're referencing with this "wacka wacka" phrase. In case you'd like to explain, here's a chance. But, if you'd rather not, that's okay, too. 

 

[Aragorn]

I think that Laura will make Martin the new DA.

Thanks!

[carolineg]

Well, yes, that would make me hate Sonny   Lucky for me no one currently involved in running or writing this show cares about Brenda at all, so I am not too worried about it.

I get sick of Sonny and the same old storylines, the same old romances, him constantly getting away with multiple crimes, blaming his poor decisions on others, etc.  I just don't hate him and hope one day the show turns the character around.  

[Contessa Donatella]

I kinda love this. It explains so much. We should all adopt this attitude. We spend way too much time on hating Sonny. We could spend that time on other things. Why didn't I think of this? All this time I've been hating on him.
