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?

    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • 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.
