GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

I think we saw her son today 

[Contessa Donatella]

Just a suggestion, meant gently, read the room. 

[jasonminer1974]

I like the guy

[Contessa Donatella]

You're  kidding?!!! I hadn't noticed. /s

I think GH was (as usual in those days) trying to do too much at once and service too many sacred cows, new additions, etc. And they were probably once again gambling that Vanessa would stay, which didn't happen and likely could have. If you had honed in on several key couples in addition to telling something of an action story, that would've been enough. Instead they wanted Brenda to be everything to everyone (Jason, Dante, etc.), and Guza could not settle on the future of the show as his vision for Dante had already begun to get clouded.

In a better world Brenda's return and marrying him would've been (and could still be) the clear signal for Sonny to officially shift into the patriarch role he has flirted with both in that late Guza period and under Carlivati, etc. off and on since. But that didn't happen.

I want Kristina to go into the family business 

[Vee]

So does FV. Liking an actor does not mean they are interesting on the show or a credible villain.

[Vee]

I can't buy Kristina running a lemonade stand.

[jasonminer1974]

He'll be gone in 6months

Like Cyrus was?

[jasonminer1974]

Cyrus didn't bq Michael 

[carolineg]

I don't know what bq Michael means, but can I have a link to these Sidwell cooking shows?  Now I am interested.  I love a good cooking challenge.

[Vee]

Cyrus bombed half the cast, killed multiple people and put Lulu in a coma for years. Then he stayed on the show for another four. Show me the difference.

[Contessa Donatella]

I actually think it is a possibility, but a remote one, admittedly. And, of course, if they did that story Alexis being against it would be a HUGE component.

What does "bq Michael" mean? I can guess it means blow him up, but how do you get from "bq" to explosion & fire?

Totally agree.  It was a case of EVERYTHING leading back to Brenda and it's too much.  I don't know what about Vanessa Marcil's returns have ever screamed "I am a lifer here", but whatever.  I clearly think everything should lead back to her, no doubt, but when frickin Maxie/Spinelli are arguing about Brenda as if she's an actual obstacle in their relationship I just had to give a hard no to that.

It's a shame they didn't expand on Sonny taking a harder look at his life though.
