GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

For completionism sake the Lily/Miguel side of the story is them finding Juan (and perhaps future PC resident cousin Sabrina), meeting him, deciding he's better off with his adoptive parents, and leaving him in Puerto Rico.  That basically puts a pin in that story until Juan shows up aged a few years later.  Compared to the Sonny plot it's all very pointless and dull which is just par for the course for Lily/Miguel in general.

I don't have much love for the Sabrina era of GH, so I still haven't quite figured out how Juan and somehow Lily's (fake?) brothers are related to or involved with Sabrina.

According to Sabrina, Marcos Santos is the son of her aunt Inocencia Santiago and was friends with Carlos Rivera. And Armando Santiago is her uncle, so that would make Juan Santiago her adoptive cousin. What they [should] have done was make her related to Dolores Santiago (removing the mention of Inocencia).

You know I live for you not liking Lily/Miguel. Though I know you have warm to Lily over time.

 

I go back and forth over Sabrina myself. I had already left before Sabrina/Michael started though it sounded like it had potential.

 

 

Yep.

Lol!  I read that like four times and it still makes little sense through no fault of yours.  Tying Sabrina to Juan is just boring on top of boring lol.

So are Carlos and his twin actually related to Lily or was that a lie?  I am sure it doesn't really matter because it didn't really make any difference in the story anyhow.

Sadly, I was thinking about them and Lily/Miguel would probably be a popular pairing pushed in this current era.  Against the embarrassment of riches with mid 90's couples they were glaringly bad. Realistically, they had as much chemistry as BLQ and Chase do today lol.  Lily's baby rabies and adoption woes would fit right in.

That's the "writer" for you.

 It's what he did, continuously and endlessly.

I don't believe Carlos and his brother Joe Rivera are related to Lily in any kind of way. It is Sabrina (and her child/children) that would be related. But Carlos and Joe are not.

I swear at least Carlos said he was Lily's illegitimate half brother or told Sonny that.  I just don't recall if that was true or not.  

ETA-His soapcentral bio just says "Relatives-unknown (he claims to be Lily's half brother)"-SIC.  So..........I guess we just don't know lol.

And, I guess we are at a point where we think the stabbing was just enough to put Dex into the hospital so Cyrus could complete his serial killer pattern/MO with the digitalis as opposed to just stabbing him to death right there outside Rice Plaza. I wonder if this storyline is going to get into how Cyrus chose his victims. Probably not.

Yeah, we really did have it good. As far as romances that I'm currently liking...I would say Jordan and Isaiah, Brennan and Carly once it moved, Ava and Ric once it moves, Liz and Lucky when they are shown...but I think you get what I'm saying.

  Back then, couples were built and build mostly organically. Heck thinking like that...I think the only one that's building and actually shown at the moment is Jordan and Isaiah. lol.

 

And to think before that, the only couple building WAS BLQ and Chase (with Cody and Sasha on the side) and look at them now. smh.

Okay.  Your memory sounds about the same as mine.  He claimed he was related to Lily to Sonny, Sonny said he'd look into it, and we just never got confirmation one way or the other.  I am sure there was probably an actual idea at some point to tie Juan, Sabrina, Carlos, Julian etc together into some plot against Sonny.  Ron either got bored or realized no one on canvas besides Sonny would care about characters related to Lily in 2013.

He was just throwing out references to tie-in his own character creations, likely in the hopes they'd continue on well beyond his exit. Boy, oh boy, was he wrong. Little to none of his created characters still exist outside of Ava and... who else?

    • It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.  
    • Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
    • Daphnee and Trisha did a live stream on Instagram and confirmed they find out if the show gets picked up in May. This pretty much confirms they're on the primetime schedule like the Bell soaps. Fingers crossed we get a multi-year renewal announcement soon!  https://www.instagram.com/reel/DJSsYb7PDv8/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA==        
    • I don't think Lois the character was there.  The Lois we knew from the 90s has pretty much died with this  Gio story crap.
    • Have to agree re MM. The goody two shoes character and writing doesn't help but maybe a more dynamic actor would help Brandon lift his game also. I found the song sequence a little OTT. First of all it should have been shorter and maybe the song fades out and just some music to accompany the montage. I think it would have worked better if Anita had have been alone after everyone left and started tinkling leading into the song, with Vernon coming in observing and then joining her for  a close moment. Everyone standing around felt a little too much. And that closing effect with the two blackscreens meeting was unnecessary. Just a fade out would have been enough.
    • HUGE THANK YOU FOR 1998-1999 EPISODES!!!

    • And sadly I think that’s the trivia Both Jeanne Cooper and Eric Braeden went with for years and years. Lol
    • But people were hating so bad on amc and the final year and the ratings sucked. Business wise they made the right call. Oltl who even gained some ratings back and weren’t they higher as GH at one point is a decision and never understood. 
    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
