GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

-- Joss's ego is enormous. She really thinks Cyrus is covering his tracks only because she told him she thinks he's the killer? Yeah, because most killers don't try to cover their tracks.

-- Is anyone calling for more appearances by Stephen A? I have no idea what Frank's obsession is with this Brick character.

Was the apartment Ric showed Ava the one Dex used to live in or the one Chase used to live it? Or a different apartment all together?

With his recent media tour claiming he was guilted to vote for Kamala and shaming anyone who criticizes Snoop Dogg or Nelly, I have even less interest than before. He's not a bad screen presence but I'm not sure what the point is. Between this and the football story is Frank or ABC trying to get more male viewers? If it's an attempt at getting more black viewers, then the best way to do that would be not having such clear contempt for your black cast.

I don't like Stephen A & I don't like Brick & I, for one, am not going to be changing that opinion. But, I have this nagging thought that Frank uses him because Disney likes him to be used & Frank is not stupid when it comes to playing some games. 

[DRW50]

That makes sense.

I'm pretty sure it's a re-purposed version of the apartment Silas had and that Kiki was murdered in by Ryan.

[Efulton]

Thank you.  Wasn't Kiki murdered on the Haunted Star?

[Liberty City]

She was murdered at the apartment, and then moved to the Haunted Star.

[Efulton]

Your memory is incredible!

[Liberty City]

Sometimes it can be! Haha.

[Aragorn]

What has happened to TJ? He hasn't been on in weeks. Did Cyrus kill him?

[Contessa Donatella]

I'd give it about a 40% chance of being right. Better than some weather predictions.

Will Ava and Ric end up making love if so when ?

After a pretty solid few weeks, every episode was can't miss for me, Thursday's ep was a real STINKER. I should've been here praising those episodes but I was too busy enjoying them I guess, instead now I'm back to say the most recent ep stunk. Clunky dialogue, terrible flirtatious dialogue (Liz/Lucky, Sonny/Natalia, Cody/Molly, even Ric and Ava!), odd pacing.

What time of the night is it exactly? Okay fine Laura's working late at the office but the mayor calling someone, in this case...Jenz (Jesus Christ) Sidwell, at what looks like 10pm is just weird.

Speaking of weird, so we have Joss allegedly in the throes of her grief telling Lucas how she's hell-bent on justice for Dex...with hairclips in her hair? It's fine that they added a cute moment but she kept them in her hair the entire episode. It was distractingly dumb. She's talking about the serial killer who murdered her boyfriend here, have her do a bit of business where she removes the goddamn multi-colored hairclips.

I'm sorry but a scene with Maurice Benard, who barely bothers to act, Stephen A. Smith, who cannot act, and Eva LaRue, who doesn't know why she's here but she needs the health insurance, is almost torturous. 

I guess Jordan, Alexis and Kristina were all together at the bar interacting??? The energy was so muted. I blame the writing mostly but the director didn't know what to do with any of that (can't blame them!). Then again it could all just be that this Jordan acts every scene as if she's meeting her co-stars for the first time. Goodness, she is so pretty but NOTHING is going on there. It's the same tone and expression no matter what's happening.

I hate to say it but if they wanted to push forward with this Jenz Sidwell guy as new PC resident and lady charmer they really should've cast someone a little...ya know? I mean, he ain't ugly but he's also barely 5'8" with a questionable accent. We already have a pint-sized egomaniac!

I'm all over the place...like that episode! Kristina's opening was a ho hum affair, what was even the point? This town didn't need ANOTHER place to sit down and banally speak about nothing. She's not having any first day mishaps, there's no big opening speech, no crowd, it's just...here's her new lounge! She looks so at ease on their opening day, just pouring drinks in her little ponytail. Her bartender got arrested? No skin off her nose! She'll just do it herself! You know, it's not like she's the owner or anything.

And why the hell isn't Lucky immediately going back to work! It's opening day! You just got the job! Yes, yes, Serial Killer Cyrus > Charli's but yeesh, at least let him show some urgency. Just a quick "oh shiz I gotta get back to work!".

[Liberty City]

I sure as fück hope they do!
