GH: January 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

Between the talk about how NAC is awful for not going to a ex-coworkers party, people comparing Jason to John Wick, and the actual spamming of today's dialogue and photos of today's episode this thread is a rough road to find actual content.

I actually do see the concept of Jason protecting Sasha.  It makes sense for the character.  It's believable enough for me to buy although I don't think anyone on the canvas should.  Jason is at a really awkward crossroads here.  Sam's dead, Liz is with Lucky, Carly/Jason tanked so he needs something to do.   I don't know how Sasha has become so vital here, but I don't see anyone realistically on the canvas to pair him with either.

I'm still not convinced WTFever they were doing with Jason and Anna is over. If it is I'm thrilled, but he is still out of options and I think actually putting him with Sasha romantically would be both laughable and profoundly boring. Like you I don't mind them bonding and I've developed a minimal tolerance for her in a calm supporting role (as opposed to the litany of scenes where evil Tracy snaps at her and everyone attacks Tracy for kicking the show's equivalent of a puppy), but scenes between Steve and Sofia Mattsson are going to get real slow real fast.

In other news Gio looked insanely good in that top and if they don't let him shed his shirt two summers in a row we should all riot. Braedyn Bruner is still quite good as Emma, but I don't think pairing her with a rootless newbie (however amiable and charming as Gio is) is the answer, any more than it is for him.

I was wondering if the Anna/Jason stuff was dropped.  It seemed to have a bad reaction from pretty much everyone.  I don't want Jason/Anna paired, but I definitely don't want more of Valentin/Anna either.

I agree Jason/Sasha would get old quick.  To put it kindly, SM and SBu are more subdued in their performances.  It was one of the reasons I found Sam/Jason so lethargic as a pairing.  I actually have no idea what Sasha and Jason would even have in common or talk about besides this baby.  The show just really needs to get a grip on what to do with Jason or let Steve go (which we know would never happen).   I would try to pair Jason with Nina, Ava or (don't everyone hate me) Lois.  Even if Jason covering for Sasha makes character sense to me, the idea of Jason pretending to hook up with his quasi son's girlfriend is just weird.

I don't think pairing Emma with Gio is the answer either.  Again, I like Gio, but he just floats around from scene to scene.  The actor is cute and seems like a great kid, but Emma needs a love interest with more substance.  And, no, making Gio BLQ's/Dante's kid won't help.

I still think Anna & Jason represent Partners & Friends. As to Sasha, going by how uncomfortable Jason was about feeling the baby move or kick & also what Steve said in his podcast. Put that altogether & Jason with Sasha, is again Friends with added in Jason protecting Michael's interests. 

Carly hasn't had sex for a year, well, technically 11 months & some days, but whose counting, right? Jason hasn't had sex as far as we are able to estimate for much longer. Korte's been co-HW now for a year. We need her to pull the trigger & give us Romantic Jarly. Never gonna know how it will go over till you try.

And about Gio, what I like is his friendship with Trina.

To be clear,  My post was intended as a response to the poster who was commenting on NAC not attending Tabyana's party, as if that were a slight or something.

I personally never had any expectation that NAC and Tabyana were/are friends in real life.  As far as I could tell, they were simply work colleagues.

I was snarking about NAC preening at the Paris event, simply because he frequently posts pics of himself preening, and I (personally) find it annoying when anyone of any gender posts lots of pics of themselves looking 'sexy'.  Just me.
I don't care that NAC didn't attend a party with his former coworkers. I don't care about that at all!!!
I just get annoyed with those types of photos posted by ANYONE.

After I made my post in this thread,  someone else posted that NAC was paid to attend the events in Paris, so it was simply a work gig.  I had no idea!

I know absolutely nothing about the Paris fashion world.  All these years, I had been assuming that people attend such events so that they can be "seen", to improve their personal brand or whatever.  It never occurred to me that anyone was being paid to attend.

I kind of am warming up to it; it'll be interesting to see how it moves going forward, providing the historian and fired writer can make it work, which means they won't.

 But I'm going to need Jason to be dad a bit more to Danny & Jake, before he goes fathering Michael's baby.

Agreed.

I don't think it's the worst story idea for Jason.  I do get @Vee's point about it getting old quick with Sasha/Jason though.  Again it's one of GH's famous baby stories that gives everyone 9 months to figure out what to do next with the two characters.

1-24

 

Yeah, definitely liked this one better than 1-23 which came across as plot, plot, plot. Again. Also again, not shocked. I did like that Jordan (per Isaiah) figured out that Sidwell was THAT Sidwell that held Lucky and almost killed him, Jason, Anna, and Holly. I was FINALLY!!! Someone pieced it together!!! Before February Sweeps!!!  It was also pretty clever. And I did like Laura/Anna vs Sidwell.  I will always like Mac/Cody scenes and Ric/Ava scenes. And it was cute that Joss and Lucas shared scenes though it was again about plot...and it made me think Cyrus (who has vanished) ain't making it out of February Sweeps alive. That said...I wasn't here for Sonny/Natalia and Laura's return to being a Sonny apologist. And as mentioned yesterday...MOLLY AND CODY??? HMMmmm.

 

Meanwhile, I liked Brennan being there for Carly. And touching on her history with the Qs...though I side-eyed her so hard since she is the reason they don't get along. Cuz...Carly. lol. 

 

I honestly continue to like the BLQ/Maxie/Lulu drama. It was played real. And one thing that soaps used to give regularly has always been female friendships. And Maxie/Lulu was that friendship. However in the last four years, BLQ has grown and became that BFF to Maxie that Lulu was. For a soap, it is pretty organic drama with plenty of history. Even Tracy coming in and vetoing everyone is history given her being a mother figure to Lulu all these years. Though given how close Tracy is to BLQ, I'm surprised she would do something over BLQ's opinion given how much she wanted BLQ to work at Deception as HER legacy. 

 

I'm not against Drew being banned from the Q mansion. Sorry, not sorry.

 

Hmmm. Not sure how I feel about Kai not being able to play football again. Unless it turns into the typical...jock finds another position (or love) only to find out there's another way to his goal of sports. Time will tell, I guess. 

 

Uneven week, but not a bad one.

I don't know if you will find this interesting or not. I just got an email detailing what words & phrases have recently been added to the banished words list. (Did you know that there is such a thing? I did not.) Anyway, to finally get to my point, this phrase has been banished. Why? (You might ask.) Apparently we have overused it to such a degree as to make it worthless. I feel remorse over this. I know I have overused it!

    • If the shooter is Arnold, I am not going to be happy. Agreed.  Again, I really like the pace of the mystery. RonC always wrote a shocking crime, then it would be solved only through exposition at the end.  I feel like the audience is being shown some respect by them carefully closing all the loopholes.  For example, having Shawn-D call Rafe to turn in his gun was a clever device to get Gabi to confess. As much as I agree with @carolineg about the odd shift in Sophia's character, this plot is starting to make me angry.  A woman is denied an abortion and forced to raise a child?  It is gross.  The stomach pains are a hopeful foreshadowing.  But, if she fakes pregnancy, or hides his miscarriage, I am going to scream!!! Roman continues to be a mench, but I have to admit that I can never keep track of the difference between Max and Benjy.  I guess it helps that Benjy is dead.  Are Max and Benjy still related to Carly?
    • If Sally Field had been more generous about the writing I would say that her assessment is really very fair. I found Soapdish very funny. The cast is great. Delirious with John Candy and Mariel Hemingway (and Emma Samms!) came out the same year and I had expected to prefer Delirious, but Soapdish is one that I can watch repeatedly.
    • I love SOAPDISH but I think TOOTSIE is better. Generally I am quite fond of gender-benders. VICTOR, VICTORIA, most favorite. 
    • On GL we only saw young GA's Philip in very short shorts but on AMC we saw GA's Alec McIntyre in a speedo.  But, on GL, an older GA/Philip is having sex with Olivia in a hotel room where Bruce Barry was directing & he & she both end up down to nothing but black underwear & at one point his bicep is covering her entire upper body so it appears that she is naked. I think they ended up on the floor between the bed & the wall. That was when I realized that Grant's body was better than Steve Burton's. (Olivia was cheating. Her husband Alan was in the hospital.) It is notable that I can speak with any insight AT ALL about these bodies since that is not the team I play for! LOL 
    • I mentioned that last week and I am glad Tate and Sophia just realized that today lol.  I think the show is just tying up some of Ron's loose ends.   You would think Brady, Holly or even Marlena would have perhaps pointed out the age thing to Tate at some point. I am not sure I like this shift in Sophia's characterization though.  MK played Sophia as someone who always defied her mom's rules-she just didn't get caught.  She was openly trying to steal Tate from Holly with no shame, showing up at the Horton cabin in bikinis to seduce him, and blackmailing Holly to work all her shifts at the Bistro.  Once the recast started the show has acted like Sophia's lived in her room, sheltered her entire life lol.
    • I thought Dante was going to put hands on Gio
    • If Jordan never appeared again, I would absolutely not notice or miss her.  So, while Brook Kerr has her flaws, she at least appears to have a pulse and a personality as Portia.
    • That's because India, or the India MKA ended up playing, was created due to the fact that both she and Kristi Farrell were liked by TPTB, but the part they both read for didn't exactly fit either one of them so the show created two brand new characters for both actresses to play (India and Roxie) and opted not to cast the character they were intending to cast (A cousin of Beth's). I think that's why the show seemed to struggle at first with how to write both India and Roxie in their first months on the show because the characters weren't ever intended to exist.  And yes.. Grant A had a great body... but I didn't find him hot when he was playing Phillip.. only when he was playing Alec on AMC which baffles me since it was the same actor in both parts LOL  
    • I shared this on Twitter and good grief the comments. Steffy fans can be such vile real-life human beings over a fictional character lol.  
    • I remember Michael Logan interviewed L.A. actors/production staff about the movie. Susan Seaforth Hayes said she was dying to know Susan Lucci's reaction.
