GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[Khan]

If they wrote it that way in order to punk Laura Wright, then they are no better than Ron Carlivati and his endless "fat jokes" for Sean Kanan.

[Liberty City]

Would not surprise me. It would've been better served if the first "we" was in question, with the second more pushed and then the final "we" just being louder than the first two. Instead, we got the Three Little Pigs in delivery, minus "all the way home".

LOLOL

[Contessa Donatella]

Irony is lurking.

Given how loved Laura seems to be by the show I doubt they wanted to make her look bad. I wonder if it even said "we, we, we," on the page or she just did that. 

[Vee]

I'm willing to bet she just did it. I didn't mind it. Laura always knows the tone and level to go for.

I really enjoyed today's episode

Joss and Lucky exchanging notes on Cyrus and later Lucky meeting with Lucas and Liz to go over what they know about the mystery.

Drew vs Nina and also Willow vs Sasha (that "because things didn't work out with your cousin" was actually quite a burn from someone who has basically been a piece of milquetoast up until now lol)

But the absolute star of today's show was Tracy and her decision to refuse to hand over Wiley and Amelia to Willow's custody, which was set up perfectly in the previous episode with Tracy expressing her concerns about Monica and saying that she would keep the next generation of Quartermaines safe at all costs.

When Willow was a teacher and Stafford still played Nina she was pretty good at giving it back. And Stafford is not subtle. Willow would make a better bitch than ingenue.

[Taoboi]

I think she would as well. She definitely had that sass walk down in Friday's episode. 

 

Though if I had to pick her or Sasha, I would have (and used to say) Sasha had the edge on that cuz SM can do a good bitca before her year after year tragedy storylines started.

The whole world of GH fans were doing 2 things today.

1 - judging Willow

2 - cheering Tracy on

-- Jane Elliot is so good it's unreal. No words.

-- I know Drew is front burner right now, but jeez, Cameron Mathison is getting way too much screen time.

1-13

 

Darn it if they don't have me invested. So momentum gained. lol.

 

And I was just saying the other day that even though they are no longer together that Nina and Sonny get a scene once in a blue moon. And in Sonny/Carly vs Willow/Drew, who was the person to bring everything to a compromise? Oh, yeah, Nina. AFTER talking to Sonny. How well-timed. Drew continued to look like such a prick and Nina more of an afterthought. 

 

I was happy Isaiah came to Michael's rescue. And Portia and Brad teaming up? Who would have thought it? Add Joss on the case...not to mention Liz/Lucky...and it seems those walls are closing in on Cyrus. Thank goodness. Cuz nowt he really appears to be playing as actual religious vs playing at being religious. And speaking of Brad...is that Ms. Wu I heard? lol.

 

I honestly liked the Trina and Kai scenes. Like I also said the other day, couples are more interesting when they don't need the gimmicks...especially a couple starting out. And that Kai actor got the Isaiah eyes for Trina and even I went awww. And I found it hilarious he already knows Stella...making sure he has some fam in his corner when actual drama ensues for him and Trina. It felt relatable versus silly.

 

And just as relatable...those Tracy/Stella scenes. For me, it was eerie given yesterday's news. It took me back to when Jeanne Cooper passed on Y&R. And her final scene just happened to be with Jess Walton and Jill and Kay having a brief but usual-for-them bout over Jill helping Kay up the stairs. Representative of the relationship/rivalry between them and represented the character as well as the actress. So knowing originally this episode should be on Friday...chills. So meta and it was nice to see Tracy as a human and not just grumpy grandma.

 

 

Well, they gotta set up that murder mystery.

Yep.  I can even see how it might begin, with Willow waking up one morning (after having sex with Drew) to find Drew dead from a gunshot wound or a knife to the chest in her bed.
