GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

Maternal abandonment can really mess a kid up lol

[Taoboi]

hahahahahaha!!!

[Taoboi]

Coming into January...

 

Well, I gotta give credit where credit is due to Casting. That NuEmma does favor the OldEmma in the face and hair. Well done!! That said...Emma coming back a bad girl? Oooo.

 

Watching the Ava story play out all I can say is WTF!!!! WHO????????? There aren't any Cassadines alive who could contest the divorce settlement. I mean is there anyone except Nik (who's in jail), Alexis (who didn't care less), and Valentin (who would do it as a way to keep his character on the canvas good one Frank out of spite). Did I miss a living Cassadine? Is Stefan finally coming back? I mean...*shrugs* And even if I didn't have that reaction...Ava has been a successful art gallery owner for a decade now. Ava broke just rings all kinds of false. Unless they need her in a scheme OR a way to get Ava/Ric to come together plot-wise...unneeded since they were coming together organically. 

 

Speaking of organically... @Antoyne...yeah that salon set has been used before. And YES, LOVED Ric riding to Liz's rescue. That lawyer was irking me so I love Ric giving it to her. But I loved that Sam's death so far has been a Liz story and appears to continue to be so. 

 

Ugh!!! How I glared seeing JS's face in the opening with Val back. FV made sure to put that face up with the quickness, didn't he? And all this is the first fumble in Lulu's storyline for me. My bad. Second because while I've loved all of her interactions with Tracy, just ONE (okay two) scenes of her with her actual mother and brother?  Well, I got it so I loved it, but ugh. And yay at Brennan sending a gunman though does that mean that Val WAS the head of Pikeman?

 

Is Lucas about to get a storyline? Because I loved him reading Willow and Drew down and that someone played the beat of his connection to Wiley. 

 

Sonny having a heart attack. Well...

 

Okay than that, the designer keeps getting Isaiah less clothed and I don't mind at all.

This is where Holly staying around longer might have made sense. If Holly encouraged her to get Q money, Sasha may have been reminded of why she distanced herself from Holly and also convince her to distance herself from Michael.

[Contessa Donatella]

You join just hordes of fans who are asking, "Where the frack is all the money that Ava had on her own, before the blasted Cassadine divorce settlement?!"

I would add, though, that a few things that Marty said would seem to be of importance. First, he said that Nik misused some Cassadine money that he shouldn't have had access to in the first place. Then he mentioned these Greek guys who seemed to be some kind of leadership over the Cassadine inheritance. Last he reminded us that the Cassadines do not give a flip about eldest living son, which is why Nik is not he & now suddenly Ace is. (That part is sheer GH. IRL there is no way that would happen.)

We did see Brennan tell Colette, "You know what to do." But somehow I still resist. I wondered if Colette was working on her own, outside of orders. I have to admit though that this could be only because I do not like Colette. 

And, the rest, I agree.

I suppose this explains why Cameron is out there pushing them as a supercouple. No matter much a lot of fans hate Drew, it's hard to imagine the show giving up on him. I suppose Cameron briefly posing bare-assed on Instagram was also a way to try to coax some new fans.

Yep. Too vague. When the audience knows the history. Nice try though, but sloppy writing. Per usual. 

Sounds like the Peter August situation all over again. Just minus the rewrote that the audience did not like in the first place.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, I said, fans want them to say A + B = C. Instead they say, A, 11, F. And, that's all. 

[Taoboi]

LMAO!!! Hollering cuz facts. Even Drew could still be salvaged right now, but instead, they are doing everything to write him right off the show. 

[Maxim]

I love this metaphor!

 This describes most of what us soap fans have been getting lately. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Metaphorically at least, this is what we as soap fans are stuck with. However, it wasn't always like this. I remember when dialogue not only made sense but it answered questions that the audience needed to know about. 

We've got a fracking lot of things to be hollering about!!! Drew is at least near the vicinity of #1 thing to holler about. I mean, GMAB, this man said that Drillow will be the new Luke & Laura. I basically fell out of my chair, landed on the floor, rolled around laughing so hard till I couldn't catch my breath. Who knew he is going for The Drew WhateverHisNameIsThisWeek Comedy Hour?

[jasonminer1974]

I want Kristina to become a mobster

Drew Willow are going to be even more hated next week 

[Antoyne]

I’m so confused how Ava has literally no money when she was pretty well off for years before Nikolas. I remember that much from when I used to watch. It’s just a stupid plot device to embarass Ava as I guess it’s that time of the month again.

[Taoboi]

THIS.

 

I know I saw comments here and there, but watching it go down...no wonder. Make this make sense. Ava is not this stupid or desperate. And even if she was, as soon as she failed to get Laura on her side, I would at least expect Ava to start a scheme from the minute she found out Alexis was in charge of the money...especially given that SHE was the one responsible for Alexis almosts not getting her law license back.
