GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

[Cheap21]

Well they all can be true as her reasons dont contradict each other. She flat out told Michael she wanted to raise her baby alone bc of the Qs and Sonny. Thats in addition to his custody case, which was her thinking about him.

Thats why it makes no sense for me for her to go with Jason bc she already had that conversation with Michael regarding his family connections complicating things for them

I did like the outdoors scenes today with Lucas and Isaiah and Natalia and Sidwell (well in their case that it was outdoors not really the scene itself) although as pointed out they did contradict Molly and Cody apparently close to freezing to death on the GH balcony lol.

I guess you could make sense of it by just assuming Molly and Cody were facing north out of the sun and the Deception/Metrocourt parking lot was on the south in the sun and a bit later in the day when it was warmer.

The only thing Ava has to worry about now IS Kristina.

Or that Cody/Molly were outside longer at a higher altitude than Jenz/Natalia were on the ground?

I hate almost all custody battle stories on soaps, so the aversion sounds good to me, although you're right they spent a lot of time on nothing (the perils of being made up as you go along). I do wonder what they will do with Ava, as that character always seems to be at a loose end. 

If they have to keep Ava, I would give her the whole long-lost child she has a love/hate relationship with storyline, only unlike most soap versions of this story, a man instead of a woman.  I'd probably kill off Avery, maybe accidentally by Kristina's hand (causing her to have a full breakdown and a lengthy break from the canvas), with Ava's son severely injured trying to save Avery. There would always be tension with Ava and her son because she'd be unable to shake the belief that if he had tried harder, he could have saved her. Lucas would also be torn between them. For added angst, he might have a fling with Nina. 

Jason always has that halo.

I think Kristina is gonna end up in shady Brook 

So is Natalia a homophobe because her ex liked dudes??

[Contessa Donatella]

If so, we'd better see a da*n great crack-up scene. 

This is the next logical question!

[Liberty City]

She should have been there already; she's not going to do shït against Ava. She's no match.

Giving Ava a son is a great idea, if they could get away from the years of long-lost adult kids for a little while first. And Kristina being on the wrong end of a bad argument is overdue.

Years ago I wanted to kill off the extraneous Avery (when Julian, Morgan and Kiki were still alive, and before they gave Sonny yet another unnecessary child in Donna). It was also back when Sonny's guards Max and Milo were still around annoying us all. At that time, Sonny and Ava were even more at each other's throats than they are now. The premise was simple: Sonny would move to take out the Jeromes and be fed up with Ava in particular, who would've begun consolidating her own power in the mob. Ava would be under pressure from an evil benefactor (Faison) to wipe out Sonny as well. They would each take aim for each other.

Sonny would tell Carly to take Avery and leave town for their own safety. She would be ferried out of town in one of his cars by Max and Milo, while Ava believes her daughter is in school. Sonny would then have Julian's penthouse (where Ava and Kiki lived at the time) wired to blow. Two things then happen simultaneously: Ava's men would gun down Sonny's car on the road (believing him to be inside), running it down and killing Max and Milo. The car would crash. Meanwhile, Kiki would return home to the Jerome penthouse instead of her mother or uncle and be killed instantly by Sonny's bomb when it blows.

Carly would emerge from the wreckage of the ruined car, the only one alive. Avery is dead. And only she would know the truth (something I always suspected, and would still do today): That Avery was Morgan's daughter, and that Carly herself switched the paternity results in the Carlivati years to make sure he was not snared in Ava's web any further, feeling he wasn't ready to raise a child. The piper would come to pay for everyone involved.

tldr: Yeah, one of Sonny's little kids has to die.

@Vee That's a great idea for a story climax. Guza-era style but not a ripoff of clink boom. 

I did not even remember that Sonny and Carly have another child (was this meant to somehow be an apology from the show for killing off Morgan?). I'd also forgotten Ava already lost a child. RIP Kukla...

I thought about waiting on another long-lost adult child story due to all the retcons with Sasha and Cody, but I figured why not.

[Dion]

Yeah, that makes sense too

[Vee]

They have their late in life daughter Donna, who I believe is named for a beloved crewmember who died. (Meaning they probably can never kill her off. Oy vey.)

[DRW50]

I was about to ask why she was named Donna.

I guess this tells you how much attention I pay to Sonny and Carly stories when I dip in now.
