GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

To be honest, my endorsement of Sasha was more "she's better than Willow" than an actual like of the character.  I just thought she had more potential.  I was ready to write her off when she became the Q cook, but it seems like she has a bit more story now.  And, no, I don't agree with the Robert/Holly kid nonsense still.

Glad to hear your apartment is still safe.  I haven't lived in LA for awhile now, but it sounds absolutely terrible.

I echo this statement, @Vee.

I was only able to catch the last 20 or so minutes of Thursday and Friday’s shows so I’ll share more thoughts after a Hulu binge but I loved what I saw so far with Jason flashing back to baby Michael, Joss and Carly going in on Willow and Drew and vice versa plus Willow taking advantage of having Michael’s medical proxy. Indon’t think Michael will end up dead from the digitalis dosage but the show does have me at the edge my seat for Monday.

I did randomly put on the 2022 episode Hulu uploaded just to play something in the background and I can see why people enjoyed the Cassadine stuff with Esme, Spencer, Nic and Ava. Nicholas Chavez and Maura West specifically had me paying attention to their scenes. The rest of the show was boring as hell and made me remember why I didn’t tune in for ages. Leo and Chase singing a song was the focal point for some reason and IDK what the hell was going on with Sasha but it stunk. I will say the lighting on the show looked better then than it does now and it seemed like they did less static camera work too.

Glad to read your apartment is in good standing @Vee

??? You may have intended for this response to have been “all in fun” but it comes across mad patronizing at best to me. @NiqueAlexis2020 using a few nick names didn’t make their post that hard to decipher.

The young players and the Cassadines were the best part of the show in 2022.

Similar to Chase, I think Sasha works well as a likeable, mostly decent support figure, contrasting all the ugliness. Unfortunately, they seem to have thrown into so many questionable choices of late, like being Robert and Holly's daughter and a potential pairing with Jason.

[carolineg]

Good way to describe her.  She's likeable, mostly nice, and is just the kind of supporting character you need.  Sasha is never going to be a breakout star, but she's pleasant enough.  The character has also gone through an insane amount of tragedy year after year so you do just kind of root for her happiness.

They're telling everyone in L.A. to stay inside, as the air is not breathable. And they're saying don't drink or bathe in the water due to toxic ash, etc.  So even if your apartment is fine ..
Whatever you decide to do, hope you are safe.

All Diane has to do is to show a judge that Willow took her Son to Washington and left him in a different hotel room while she and Drew had sex. No one was watching her toddler. No Judge should give her custody or keep her as Michaels medical Proxy.

Tbf Wiley is 6 now - possibly more if he's been SORASed. He was born only a few months after James but they don't show him as nearly as often.

Edit: Just checked and both Wiley and James are played by 9 year olds.

I'll just say that is very terribly unfortunate if it came off all wrong but with that said, I'll let it be because no matter what, this is done & can'r be undone.

[titan1978]

The news is just awful, glad you are safe.

[carolineg]

I could be wrong but I thought Willow left Wiley with a nanny or a sitter not unattended for hours lol.   All she said was that she wanted to be there when Wiley woke up.  I didn't think that meant he was alone in the hotel room.  That's kind of hilariously negligent if he was.

[Liberty City]

I don't recall her stating she left him in the next room with a nanny, suggesting she did leave him alone. But, my question is: what room was Scout in?

[Contessa Donatella]

Of course Carly will challenge that legally. Whether she will prevail or not, we will have to wait & see. Clearly she has a good case against Willow because among other things, Michael had already had Willow served & taken action legally to divorce her & try to get sole custody. These things will work in Carly's favor. Thank goodness for Diane! 

[carolineg]

Good question.  I have a tendency to fill in gaps on small things in my own head when watching GH or Days so I just assumed someone was watching Wiley. I suppose there could have been adjoining rooms. 

I think I am giving Willow/Drew way too much credit.  They did have sex in a playroom with a nanny cam so they really don't care about anyone else.  Everyone keeps harping on Willow bringing Wiley over state lines, but no character has really asked where Scout or Wiley were while Willow/Drew were hooking up.
