GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

No.  I pretty much hate any version of Nina to this day.

I will say I am the only person ever to think MS's Nina and IR's Jax actually had some chemistry though.

[Liberty City]

No, I do think Stafford matched that one more than Cynthia Watros did. And the same goes with James Patrick Stuart (Valentin). Watros, for me, worked better with Maurice Benard (Sonny). I sense that Watros would have done well with Rick Hearst (Ric) where I think he and Stafford lacked. The only non-pairing I think both women did well with was with Donnell Turner (Curtis).

[carolineg]

I honestly don't recall MS's Nina having much to do with Sonny, but it already feels like a physical mismatch to me.

I could see RH and Watros working.  Did they interact much on Guiding Light together?

Turner, however, kept his eyes on the prize:

Oh, it would have bombed. Stafford, to me, doesn't have the chemistry needed to work with Benard.

For a moment, I thought you were referring to Roger Howarth. Too much "RH" initialled people on this soap.

 As far as I am aware, Hearst & Watros did not work together during their time on Guiding Light. Watros' Annie's pairing with Ron Raines' Alan didn't come in 1997 when Hearst had left already.

And it's never going to happen.

[carolineg]

I mean, when's the last time any leading lady had the chemistry to work with Mo?  Tamara Braun?  Megan Ward?  Some are better than others-I'll give you Watros-but Mo's been a chemistry vacuum for years 

There are a lot of RH's on GH.  For some reason I thought Annie did have some interaction with Hearst's A-M.   I could envision a Ric/Nina pairing with Watros.  I don't think Ric/Nina with Stafford was anything more than a rushed stunt.

Sarah Joy Brown (as Claudia). Hell, I'd even wager Kelly Sullivan (ex-Kate) had some chemistry despite such a piss-poor D.I.D. storyline. Plus, I can't even deny it. Maura West (Ava) had chemistry, but she's a chemistry magnet to herself!

They could have on Guiding Light but it doesn't recollect to me. And no, Hearst is poised for West for some #RAVA. And I won't allow it to be stopped.

[carolineg]

No.  They had no chemistry at all!!!! How dare you?  I will say for a brief period I did enjoy the way Sonny was written in regards to Konnie and her DID.  Sonny actually did seem understanding and did seem to care for her deeply.

Yeah, I suppose Maura and Mo have some chemistry.  

Ava is fine with Ric.  I don't like Ric much anyhow.  I have found him useful in this return though.

I've always liked Ric. The superior Adela child. And this return is the best. He really is since his original stint.

[carolineg]

Considering the fact Adela sounds like a horrible mother no matter how many people pretend she wasn't-that's faint praise.

Drastic change of subject

I'm still promoting #Avarice as the best ship name for Ric & Ava.

lol Cyrus was the most obvious choice for killing Austin (along with Ava). I guess it's good they're at least putting that dangling plotline to rest.
