GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

These are the choices? I turn the gun on myself.

[Liberty City]

I swear, both the actors playing Wiley & Amelia look miserable. Must've been in the casting breakdowns: "We want miserable looking children."

[carolineg]

Well, there's also the utterly charmless girl that played child of the corn Joss in that tween storyline back in the day.  She MIGHT be less charismatic than Wiley.

Honestly, I'd be pretty miserable if Michael/Willow were my parents too.

[Liberty City]

I mean, I'd suffer through it to gain the financial benefits... I'd be more miserable with Carly as my grandmother.

I would be more disappointed with Nina being my grandmother, tbh. 

[Contessa Donatella]

This is amusing if looked at in a certain light. But, basically, it's a competition to see who can set this bar lower? Or really I mean lowest.

[Liberty City]

A screeching shrew or a baby-snatcher who slept in a 20 year coma.... hmmm.... I'll take the baby-snatcher.

[carolineg]

At this point these kids are probably just so confused about how their grandfather was married to both their grandmothers.

[Liberty City]

Grandpa's a ho! Haha. Or how Wiley's mommy is also technically his aunt, as well. WHEW.

[Taoboi]

I mean that just looks like a less of two evils tbh.

Lord...let's hope not. The eyeroll of it all.

I really felt for Ellen Holly during that part of the OLTL book. Bob Woods was so complimentary of her, and IIRC called AB a maniac. That’s pretty telling, even above Holly’s descriptions.

I had forgotten all about that Joss, so thanks for that reminder lol.

They do look miserable!  But look who plays their parents.

Carly Jr. ruining the case against Cyrus already feels appropriate.

[Vee]

Yeah, Erika also disliked him. I imagine the feeling was fairly universal based on the stories.

-- The terrible writing for Trina and Kai continues. She can't visit him in the hospital? She needs a conversation with Ava to think it through? Yikes. And a dislocated shoulder would never keep an athlete out of the NFL draft. The football writing continues to be trash.

-- Scenes with talking to a doctor about getting pregnant are forever boring.

-- This path to telling us that BrookLynn had Dante's baby is soooo awkward. These nuggets they're dropping are like anvils.

-- This show seems to have a costume designer working only part-time. A few characters are dressed with style, while the rest look as if they did their scenes in the clothes they left home with that day. I think the designer quit after dressing and styling Nina and Ava.
