GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

[Liberty City]

 

It needs to happen, and as @Vee stated, Morgan can stay worm food.

[carolineg]

Outside of you, me and Vee I thought people liked Morgan.  I assumed BC was popular.  I could be wrong though lol.  People seemed to love Kelly T. and she generally was as idiotic as Brian.

[Khan]

You can include me in that list, @carolineg, 'cuz I didn't like Morgan/BC or Britt/KT either, lol.

[Liberty City]

I mean, Morgan was okay, especially in comparison to Michael, but I never saw the need for Bryan Craig to remain the sole Morgan. And once killed off, I was okay with that character remaining gone.

[Contessa Donatella]

James is the unquestionable best. Donna though has those dimples!

[Liberty City]

I began liking Kelly Thiebaud/Britt after the first stint she had. She became more tolerable as a character and her acting improved, especially in comparison to [some] we have on the canvas now.

I liked Morgan a little better than Britt.   BC and KT turned me off so long ago with their comments that I just don't care.  They basically both asked to be killed off and........now are available because they can't book work.   I am not advocating adding more characters to the canvas, but I would giggle if both Morgan and Britt were recast.

I'll give Kelly a bit of credit for make a meaningless character somewhat relevant.   I was never a fan of that Dr. Obrect/Faison/Nathan/family era though and to me she's sort of in the same category as Nelle, Sabrina, Sasha, Willow who are all related to some people on canvas just because.

[Liberty City]

The never-ending family that the "writer" gave her and then every single writing team following picked away one-by-one was ridiculous.

Though tbf, on the show, I did like Morgan, but his off screen antics overshadowed any love I could have for the character very quickly. 

[carolineg]

Lol!  Maybe I should ask who likes Morgan?

[Vee]

Beyond her offscreen stupidity, Thiebaud has very weak range and can't play real romantic drama or convey depth. When she tried in the Carlivati years it was embarrassing. So instead they kept trying to turn Britt into a snarky gay 'icon' and that this was somehow queer-coded material by simply telling us over and over that she was one while she was just... a straight woman.

I could not believe they had drag queens at Britt's sendoff while having no actual LGBT story on the show lol. Like I'm sorry, penning a handful of scenes where Britt and dayplayer Brad give forced giggles watching the Nurses Ball does not automatically make this snarky queer-coded content lol. I don't care what easily pleased sea lions on Twitter say.

She had chemistry with Steve. That's the most I'll give her. She was real lucky they were in a bind and she was the B/C player on the show available.

Hated them. Do not especially miss Obrecht the mad scientist who (per her original story) committed horrendous medical crimes while experimenting on various patients. Sorry! I don't mind seeing Obrecht in a villain role coming in and out from time to time; Kathleen Gati is talented. Do I need her hanging around GH indefinitely while people are on a fond first name basis with this madwoman? No! GTFO of here with 'oh, that Liesl!'

Man, this show.

Now Britt on the other hand...lol. You know where I stand on her. In terms of Jason and Britt at least. lol.

 

I will give her this much though...her character came in when GH really did need something it had been missing at that point...a good firm bitca. A bad girl. And she served that well. And I got Dr. O out of that. Outside of the Britt/Nickolas/Liz triangle which gave my Liz something to do...yeeeah she eventually had no big use. 

 

[carolineg]

I forgot both Sabrina and Britt were allegedly gay icons.

Kelly Thiebaud is just a cold actress and inherently unlikeable, IMO.  Similar to RC's Skye.  They can be decent utility players and work in some sense at different times but Britt in particular had very little depth besides constant medical issues and had to birth one of Lulu's kids of course.  She was meant to be the heavy in the Patrick/Robin/Sabrina plot and they kept Britt far too long because that's what GH does.  Lisa Niles walked so Britt could run.

She worked fine with Steve, but as you said, she was practically the only actress available not named Liz, Sam, or Carly at that point.  

[Vee]

Brianna Brown was far more talented, though.

[Contessa Donatella]

About Morgan, in the beginning: no problem but no great shakes either.

Later on though definitely problems. In his defense trying to put bipolar on him, seems like just asking for trouble. Not a good idea, IMO anyway.

I loved KT, Britt, Brita, and this was in spite of, not because, of certain things.

ALSO I love Liesl, Dr. O
