GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

I think Ava was going to go to Valentin after puzzling out that he screwed with Sonny's meds (her discovery of which was done very clumsily, I agree) and they were going to collude for awhile. But who knows.

I admittedly had GH on in the background yesterday while doing something else but I am confused as to why Sonny needs to leave the business now.   One Dr. told him his heart was bad at the Gym.  I know most people want Sonny to croak here, but shouldn't he go to the hospital and get some tests done, some medicine, a second opinion before just handing the business over?  There have been about a million other better reasons for Sonny to leave the mob and he didn't so I am a bit confused at his line of thinking here.

And so you should be, confused I mean. Here they go with this kind of odd story-telling. I swear that at moments like this I think it is entirely possible that Korte & Chris Van Etten & also Frankie have collectively lost their everloving minds. Isiah even told Sonny to go have an appt specifically with a cardiologist. Then, Jason told him the same thing. He seemed to indicate that in his position as head of the mob he cannot afford to show any weakness. I'm pretty sure that for example Tony Soprano would have definitely seen a cardiologist. IMO other mob bosses wouldn't be stupid and short-sighted. But, I guess we're supposed to think it's okay for Sonny to be different.

If I recall and I was half-watching ('cause the episode was boring as ever-loving fück), he couldn't go to the hospital, because it'd show as a sign of weakness/instability within his organization towards his adversaries (Selina Wu?). Hate that Isaiah is getting wrapped into Sonny's web of bullshït already; I'd prefer he not be tainted by the mobster.

Yeah, that's flimsy af.  The man's been shot a million times, was paralyzed, presumed dead more than once, and has a long history of mental illness, but he's weak and unstable now because he might have to take some pills for his heart and quit drinking so much lol?

And, Isaiah mentioned afib, which is a heart arrhythmia, which is your heart racing instead of the steady beat it needs to be doing. Not a big deal as long as you get tested for it, confirmed that you have it & you take a pill for it, not even a hard to swallow pill, but an easy one & you see that doc 4 times a year. It takes them maybe 15 minutes to do a new EKG. Did you happen to notice the stricken look on Sonny's face? I suspect he is terrified. So, naturally being Sonny he jumps to this huge unwarranted conclusion that Jason has to take over. I am just so over this guy. And, I just know that next week he is gonna try to get Carly to make Jason do what he wants. 

I was proud of Jason, though. He's right. He's Danny's only parent. And, also I do not think Carly is gonna truck with him over this at all.

    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
    • @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.  
    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
