GH: December 2024 Discussion Thread

[Taoboi]

Well, they had had a salon for a while. It makes me wonder if it's the same one. But I agree with you. Say what I have about GH...and I do...I can't fault on Frank's ability to keep sets rotating in and out and it usually feels completely plausible. Like if it's summer, you can count on the pool set coming out. Meanwhile...Y&R needs more Ashley for you.

Yeah, I really enjoyed them getting his shirt off....lol. But I am enjoying the slow build this week because it's been so sarced since Sam's death. And he sells it sooooo well that he's into Jordan. Oh, the hiss I let out just seeing Isaiah in scenes with Willow like Jordan had already claimed him...lol. Yeah, I guess the writers are doing a good job because I already consider them together. 

 

hehe. Indeed.

6 pages later and nobody mentioned that Maxie was actually supposed to be Lulu's original surrogate. But she had gotten herself pregnant by Spinelli after she either miscarried or the enbryo transfer didn't work (I forget what) and passed off her baby (Georgie) as Dante and Lulu's child for months. While Britt (the ob/gyn) knew the truth and had herself stolen one of Dante and Lulu's embryos to pass off as her child with Patrick - that baby became Rocco

[Antoyne]

WHAT?! Okay why does the Maxie part actually sound familiar. Please don’t tell me I was still watching at this time omg. Now I have no idea when I quit.

[Dion]

He's got hungry eyes which is usually a good sign.

Brenda/VM was another one who had them, back in the day Sonny/MB had them too but not so much anymore.

[Antoyne]

That’s the perfect description of it! Hungry eyes.

[Dion]

It played out over most of 2013, including before the 50th anniversary when Maxie told Frisco and he threatened Britt to stop blackmailing Maxie. Britt's pregnancy being from one of Dante and Lulu's embryos didn't come out until toward the end of the year, possibly sometime in 2014.

Maxie miscarried, was upset and ran into Spinelli who was sad Ellie broke up with him.  They had sex the same night she miscarried.  I remember thinking having sex was probably the last thing you wanted to do the same day you had a miscarriage but....

Once Maxie had the baby she told Spinelli and they decided they wanted the baby back.  Dante/Lulu named the kid Connie, which doesn't matter for plot purposes, but I am glad that didn't stick.  There was a whole court battle and everything which ended with Spinelli getting sole custody, Maxie having to stay away from the baby for 6 months, renaming the child Georgie, and Spinelli moving out of town with Ellie and Georgie in tow.  

Kirsten Storms leaves for maternity leave? or one of her medical issues and comes back to town with Levi Dunkleman and that's a story you really don't want to hear about I am sure.

Mmmm Brenda.

 

But yes, perfect description!!

What's the deal with Joss and Emma?

[Dion]

There was a childrens love quadrangle between Cameron, Emma, Spencer and Joss about 10 years ago. I kid you not. They were all of about 10 at the time and it went on and on for months.

And it was truly weird because they all acted like little adults but also somewhat fitting considering who their parents were i.e they were copying the behavior of the adults around them.

Why Frank Valentini wasn't fired for that [!@#$%^&*], I'll never know!

[Dion]

Ah yes, I remember now, it was indeed a miscarriage and not a failed implantation, which tbh would've been more plausible than having sex the same day as miscarrying. I mean I'm pretty sure ovulation wouldn't happen that fast after a miscarriage.

[Contessa Donatella]

Also Emma, so precocious & she had strong opinions about who her father should be with. She liked Sabrina. She didn't like Brett. There were many scenes when she & Brett would be at each other's throats, really, I kid you not.

Maxie also found out she was pregnant super quickly.  The whole thing sort of defied any medical logic.  It really wasn't Maxie's greatest era.  I remember she kept losing any custody rights to Georgie for an extended period of time after as well.   Maxie was a mess for a long until she met Nathan and decided to try to get shared custody of Georgie.   I can't remember if KS's absences played into that though.

An insane amount of airtime was dedicated to this nonsense.  A little goes a long way with this crew of kids.  NB's Spencer rivals JL's Violet as the most obnoxious child actor GH has ever hired.  They both make Dylan Cash's Michael seem tolerable (almost)
