GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread

But, Kristina IS the owner now.

I miss Esme too.

I think the most beautiful woman on current GH, since there is no other ABC/Disney soap at the moment, is Brooke Kerr, Portia. 

I'm quite concerned. Cody was hated & they went to great lengths to rehab the character & they succeeded with that effort. But wallowing in self-pity & trying to shake down people who have become friends is so unflattering!!!

So, this weekend I got a Google Alert on, of all people, Hayley Pullos. Perplexed, still I followed the link, only to be met with total & complete hilarity. What it was, was a rumor said to have started "somewhere on Facebook" & you are not going to believe what it said!!! I'm sure we will all be surprised, to say the absolute least, that she is returning to the role of Molly next month. [Pause for laughter.] I nearly bust a gut I laughed so hard!!! When rumors like this, especially when they are totally devoid of anything at all like reality, the humor they afford is like nothing you can find anywhere else!!! I hope you enjoyed this little "gem" (?) as much as I did!

why even post that?

[Contessa Donatella]

I'm sorry that you don't find it as entertaining as I do.

God, I hope not.

I am glad that Drew was banned from the Q mansion.

[Contessa Donatella]

No, not actually posting OT, not at all, I think we all are glad about that!. Personally, I get a thrill out of the idea of Yuri telling Drew he could go no farther!!! You know how polite Yuri is, he probably said, I'm sorry, Mr. Drew but they won't let you go inside.

So I noticed on my calendar that last week was the anniversary of the firing of Dan & Chris. I mention it because it has meaning to us because it means that Korte has now been co-HW for a year. Can you believe this year went by so fast?

Of course it also means that it's been a year since Mulcahey began his all too brief tenure.

Now, about today, I loved Kristina's reaction to Natalia letting herself into Sonny's place, with her own key. WHOA. Talk about suspicious!

Moving on, when Sonny referred to himself as "Daddy" it was so awful. Ewww. Cringe. And, my thought on why Sonny has not told his people about his heart is because the man is basically a coward. No nuts. (Even more than Chase.)

Now, as you know, I've claimed from Day One that Dex is alive. Well, if you inquire about setting up an interview with him (Evan), you are referred to the GH PR person. And, this weekend Eden & Chad did a zoom & when asked something about him she made a kinda coy soapy statement, like, Well, you know, on soaps no one is ever really dead.

There's nothing wrong with that post.

-- Does GH have a vial of Botox that they pass around every day? I've never seen so many actors without a single line on their faces. Eva LaRue hit her upper lip especially hard.

Lord. I knew it was too good to last. I didn't mind the episode screaming plot, plot, plot movement, plot. But clearly, Tracy can't stay steely or cunning for tooo long. Waka, waka indeed.

 

Tracy with her fingers in her ears. Martin and Tracy being silly in their arguments. Anna being useless but having time to play wacky Spy v Spy stuff with Brennan. Maxie on Natalia Propping duty (though I loved ELR's hair). Sidwell still walking around without running into anyone he almost had killed last year. Oh, how my eyes rolled. 

 

Thankfully, there were some nice nuggets in the episode. Michael's exit. I don't know if it's forever or for now...but there was a nice bit of drama there. I even laughed at Kristina's snark. It's been a minute since I've liked anything Kristina so I'll take it. I'm itching for Carly to really get on the loose to give Drew and Willow Hades so her continuing tension with Willow and finding any and all ways to talk crap about her to anyone within earshot...INCLUDING WILLOW...was hilarious to me. And Drew has truly grown to be the person I love to hate with his prick self. And finally, a hint of backbone toward Drew from Willow. If I was disappointed about anything, it was the fact that Michael's exit really was not about him so much as moving the pieces around...like the Michael/Sasha baby secret and Michael trying to tell Carly. You know...plot. And I just feel if Korte was in charge of the episode for the day, there might have been more emotional resonance. 

 

I completely forgot about the Avery custody case storyline and what led to Kristina flying out that window so what started off as silly Ava/Alexis scenes with some Kristina involved turned into something more intriguing. Cuz duh...Ava just bested Kristina in court.  Which means she can STILL have her testify. And with the drama between Ava and Alexis over the Cassadine money, another layer of intrigue has been added. And I loved the Kristina namesake shoutout.

 

I was so hoping that Jason had the kids so disappointed. Though I'm always here for Jason vs Drew. 

 

Maura West knows she can rock some leather pants. 

 

Die, Sonny, die!!!

If this were any other soap, I’d think that a twist was coming and that it would turn out that Sidwell wasn’t the one who caused Michael’s accident, but with GH, idk.

Btw, poor Chase. 

[Contessa Donatella]

Why thank you, kind sir, but perhaps you just have a refined sense of humor ... 

Oh, my, if this is standard "first aid" it would be provided probably by the heroes in Makeup rather than be passed along, hand to hand. (The other heroes, IMO, are Hair & Wardrobe.)
