GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

[ranger1rg]

So Charlie's Pub gets a renovation, but they kept the landing as anyone enters the club -- and then has to walk down 2 steps to the main floor. Does this make sense to anyone?

What club would have a landing that practically screams "insurance liability"? You can fall down entering the pub, and if you've had a few drinks, fall down leaving the pub. There are also 2 steps to climb to enter the pub. Ridiculous.

One of these "landings" used to be at the entrance to the Quartermaine foyer, but someone wisely eliminated it.

I don't know who's designing these sets.

Can they get rid of Cody too please?

He gets into Drew's car. He and Drew argue in the car. Drew drives unaware his car has been tampered by Michael.

Sonny sees a ghostly Michael outside and suffers his chest pain. Sonny runs after him. Still arguing with Cody, Drew runs down Sonny with his car. He and Cody fight over the wheel as the car plunges over cliff. Cody dies instantly but Drew is ejected from the car with severe burns.

Drew is arrested for running down Sonny.

Michael laughs as he's gotten revenge on Drew and Sonny is dead. Cody was just collateral damage.

I thought you would have enjoyed him punching Lucky.

(is that the biggest part JJ has had since his return?)

I have said it before but I think a downward spiral story for Cody should be interesting, but they aren't really doing a great job with the execution...and I'm not sure what the end result is going to be, unless it's some kind of bad boy competition for Dante over Lulu.

[Soapsuds]

Those scenes were poorly done. It went from Cody punching JJ to him landing in jail. I thought I missed something and rewinded it but no. I didn't miss a scene.

I just don't like this story for Cody. Is this the best they can do?

Well my earlier prediction about Jason having the kids was totally wrong but I'm glad he was able to broker a solution

That Coffee cup with Dante and Tracy near the beginning of the episode was so obviously empty.

It did feel like a bit of a cop-out to show Cody punching Lucky and then picking up after it was all over.

Cyrus' spate of mercy killings being about his mother does make some sense - even if a little cliched. I do look forward to learning the reasoning behind Sam and Dex's death though because as Liz and Lucky noted, they weren't terminally ill, or suffering grave injuries like Michael.

[Liberty City]

Well, Dex's is clear: Dex went to kill Cyrus when he was admitted to G.H. and Nina stopped him.

Yes, I love that Jason basically was the hero via diplomacy!!! I also love that Drew did NOT like it one bit. And I am OVER Marty talking to Drew about this. Drew is not his client. Willow is. 

Him wallowing in self-pity, being bitter, talking about only wanting what he's due like some entitled jerk ... who wants to watch that?!!

At least Marty earned his keep by filling in that backstory. 

My new mantra for this show is

Cameron is just doing his job. 

It's not as effective as I need it to be to get through so much Drew airtime, although I am very much hoping that we get a bit of a break from him, soon.

Around what time is GH uploaded to abc.com?

It is being preempted here for NBA basketball.

So GH doesn't have script editors anymore?

[Contessa Donatella]

So, that's one of the jobs that Korte used to do, at some point. And, for what, a year Anne Schoettle was acting in that capacity? So, you're just wondering who is taking care of that function now? Until they decide to put someone in credits I'm not sure we will know but that  doesn't necessarily mean it's not being done.

I know that there's this rep that GH has of having the best continuity people of necessity.

I know with my own 2 eyes I see continuity errors which I attribute to Frank's method of taping.
