GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

Wasn't feeling the Brennan recast today. They should have just had Brennan disappear or get killed off off screen, and brought Chris McKenna in as an entirely new character. Now he has to carry around the Brennan baggage.

Agreed that recasting has probably accelerated the inevitability of writing off the Brennan character. Unless the producers get stubborn and dig in their heels that is..

Those fans are committed to only one thing, Liason. They are dead set against L&L2 also to Liz with Ric. No one but Jason will do. Even when Liz is on more are they happy? NO.

Also they have created this backstory where Lucky was abusive to Liz. They use this to justify their ambivalence against the pairing. I think their rewrite of history is out of thin air. Why couldn't it be fat air?

And bite your tongue about Violet.

My first impression was good but of course I need to see more.

If the departure was very sudden, they may not have had the time to change the scripts. Or maybe Frank just didn't care about making the effort. They will probably just have him on long enough to reveal he was the baddie all along and have Sonny, Jason, Valentin save the day. The main way he might stay is if they finally give up on Sidwell and just offload some of those stories onto him.

Since Franco & Finn had both been discussed, I confess I was not sure. However, I just picked up on the verb "committed" & went from there. If it caused any discomfort, that was not my intent. But, what I posted about IS where they are now.

But it's true, I could go for years without talking about Finn.

Same

He sucked and I'm a fan of the actor.

They should've killed off the character when Valentin was shocking him to death.

Yeah, if I didn't know better, I would say RC was still in the house because that is his thing. But he's over at BTG so I don't know what to say. 

 

Though I wouldn't mind Trina being there for Gio when he finds out. Since she does have experience in that department. 

Lord I hope not. 

 

Taste.

I think that the new Brennan fell flat in the role. Brennan's storyline will probably be cut short now. Romance with Carly is probably off now.

Drew told Carly that Jason made Sasha pregnant! The whole town will now know this falsehood. 

I don't miss Violet. She can stay away.

I love Lucky and Liz as a couple. Ditto Isaiah and Jordan.

I thought this Jason/Sasha pregnancy story was going to be slightly more organic than what's happening on screen.   Between Cody running around town telling everyone Sasha's business incorrectly and Drew just announcing her pregnancy and baby daddy to a room full of people at a restaurant, I am seriously offended on Sasha's behalf.  This show loves to humiliate Sasha.  She's a grown woman and can take care of herself.   The misogyny on this show never ends.  Sasha doesn't need a man to help her raise a baby.  She has said several times she intends to raise this baby on her own.  It's 2025, not 1955. 

Also, Willow and Drew continue to be the worst lol.

It seems like he studied Charles. So I suspect that he's going to take some of his techniques and mannerisms and make them his own...something the best recasts are known to do. Usually it works so I have faith.

See, I read statements like that, and I think: What would happen if Sasha learns that carrying her baby to term poses a risk to her and/or her unborn child?  Would Sasha consider terminating her pregnancy?  Would Jason try to stop her?  Would that compel Sasha to reveal her baby's real father?  And how would Sasha's choice affect everyone around them, once the truth was out?

A potentially worthwhile story, considering the times we live in and the fact that this show is called GENERAL. HOSPITAL. 

Then, I remember how skittish TPTB are these days even to mention the word "smashmortion," and I get sad and angry all over again.

    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
    • There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226 I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 
    • Put me in the LOVE KMH camp. As a poster alluded to above, her detractors seem to come from people who first experienced the 80s Emily actress. And that's often the case with soaps, myself included. I enjoy the original actor so much that I just never take to the recast. However, KMH played Emily far longer than the original - for almost 20 years - and when she had great material, she was great. I get the sense she didn't like playing the whiny oh-woe-is-me Emily which was all the material she got from about 1996 until she took over the Intruder in late '99/early '00 and got to play a stronger kiss-ass woman who didn't care what anyone thought of her. (Some would call that a bitch but, if a man was in that role, he'd just be called a smart and savvy businessman.) Her relationship with Hal was great. The transformation was done realistically and I thoroughly enjoyed those years the best out of all. Once the writers decided to break up those two, they went back to writing Emily half the time as whiny and pathetic. I preferred when the writers made her stronger.
    • Hahaha - I do. I've always been the type, though, that can't miss anything. I get FOMO, so I'll not skip episodes or fast forward anything. There are only a few TV shows I've dropped because they got so bad vs. sticking it out to the end.  The promise that GL 1997 is better is what keeps me going. I especially want to see the fallout of Blake's lie about her twins and then Annie's descent which I believe won Watros's Emmy.
    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of
