GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

Yeah.

Between the Lucky recast, Brennen recast, and Spinelli setting Lucas up with that model or whatever this was a rough episode.  The Anna and Jason scenes felt hours long and I don't like when we get "wacky, silly" Mac.  Obviously, it goes without saying the show gets negative points for Chase singing.

Such a terrible choice, and I have to believe there was a way to avoid this. Huge error.

Guy Wilson actually did a good job as Lucky, so I don't blame him. This is on Frank.

 

I think they succeeded in making Aiden look younger, but they also made him look a lot less hot.

 

Agree about the Anna/Jason scenes going on too long. And why was Jason still in handcuffs?

Mac with the migraine was played out after the first two scenes with him, too. Chase? I like his voice, so I was OK with the singing, but not with Brook Lynn acting so SHOCKED that he was on stage.

Best part of the show for me? Dante and Lulu. I think those scenes worked.

There was way too much of Anna/Jason talking about how much they value one another as friends.  It's weird GH.  Please stop.

I agree about Dante/Lulu.  I meant to add that in my post.  They were definitely the best part of the show and the conversation helped walk back a lot of issues I initially had with Lulu's return.

Yeah... today was a weird one.

Maybe it wouldn't have been as weird if most of the people featured didn't only appear like once a week or less. It's also like they tried to make today campy, but GH often fails miserably when they try to do that. 

I found Anna absolutely hilarious though. Like, girl, the PCPD lost all credibility a very long time ago

Tobias is a cutie pie. Too bad we won't see him again for like months lol hopefully I'm wrong though. Aiden's storyline deserves to be seen.

As for Lucky and Liz, I'm glad the characters finally shared a kiss but yeah...

Does Frank or whoever really expect some fans to not feel this way after he spent the better part of a decade erasing Lucky from the lives of Liz and her boys?

NASTAAAAAAAASHHHHHHHHHHA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes, yes, YES!!!! LOL. It's been toooo long. My way of saying how much I loved the Jason/Alexis scenes. I'm always here for Nastasha. NLG has been a bit of background so her in focus will always be fun. And SB has been knocking it out of the park for me as Jason.

 

As for the rest...after I rolled my eyes over the pants in flight...

 

Thank you for the heads-up, Contessa. Because I guess I really and truly do not care for Natalia at all that I missed the reveal of Natalia and Sidwell being married when she was off in L.A. with Sonny. I thought that was set up well surprisingly here (and ELR was looking fierce AF in the wet hair, dark dress when Sidwell was at Deception). I even gasped since I thought it was JUST a relationship. 

 

But this is the first time Sidwell actually came across as if he was purposely running around all over town to get tea on everyone. I know he did with Lucy. That was obvious. But now seeing him with Lucas and Lulu makes me wonder if he had already did the research on PC residents and was faking his knowledge. Intrigued though I still don't like the character (though I do like the actor). 

 

The Ava vs Sonny scenes would have worked perfectly...if we had gotten the Sonny's Meds storyline followed by them going into the custody suit BEFORE Kristina's accident. Then this split custody would have been a nice coda to them. As it was...you all were right. That came across as lazy writing. Very reminiscent of around this time of year the last few years when someone would start messing with the writing momentum and put things back into 'factory settings.' A waste of a lingering plot thread with potential. UNLESS we are about to get crazy Kristina...which the last scene of the episode (and the scenes with Liz a few episodes back) might be hinting at.

 

I liked the Stefan mention. But we know I love Stefan. 

 

I thought the Lulu/Kristina talk was good, too. I guess it goes to show I like Kristina in a supporting character mode still. 

 

And more rme throughout for Molly/Cody (I'm shocked they didin't put JK in boxers...time of year be darned) and Sasha/Dog Lady P.I. Though I did like the twist of the Dog Lady P.I. warning Sasha due to Sasha saving her life (even though Sasha was the reason she was in danger in the first place).  

 

Overall a meh week for me. I felt that wacka wacka creeping in and just like the mess that Y&R made of their stories last week, my side-eye apparently was shady.

You're not alone.

 I was discussing that (as a joke mind you before pictures dropped online in one of the spoiler threads ) it seems like we got temp recasts whenever an important beat or climax of a story happened...which I found odd because given how the block filming seem to be...couldn't that be set up at a different time since it's not the first time these folk stalled a story out til forever? I think LK (outside of the Baby Irene funeral) has always subbed for unimportant scenes to me as well. 

 

 

And as someone mentioned above...also what happened with Alexis at the climax of the Harmony storyline, too. 

 

And it just seems weird since if it is to be believed that JJ is back here for LnL2...he would be good and ready to play that beat especially. 

 

And even if he was not here...fans of theirs would have been waiting decades for that kiss. Common sense have to had told someone to WAIT. Why play in people's face like that?

I was SO pleased at the sight of Natasha peeking out of Alexis!! Please GH, and NLG, give us more Natasha, Alexis's Cassadine side!!!

Sadly, I have come to believe that Frankie is not going to bring on either Blaze or her brother. What we've got is UGH Sidwell as the Natalia connection. And, Natalia is about as popular as one Laurel was on AMC. Which is to say NOT popular.

 

Aka the defart setting. 

I still say we're not there. We're due an amazing crazy scene. We've been due it since Watros signed on.

I like Chase well enough but when he sings, he reminds me of someone from a Disney band. I thought the character background of that family was meant to be somewhat grimy. 

The little shown of them was sweet. I have to admit I was distracted by whether or not Aiden was wearing a wig.

    • That's on Kimmer. As someone posted above...she was offered roles in pilots but she would be part of an ensemble or supporting. She didn't want that so she came back to GL. I don't know what she thought would happen..someone offering her "Here's Kimmer!" or The "Zimmer Comedy Powerhouse Hour" variety show..but her housefrau fans did not have the same pull in HW as they did on the soaps. Forbes and Watros knew that you had to take small parts to get noticed ands start a career in primetime. I know she was in consideration for the wife in Evening Shade, but when you go up against Marilou Henner, the soap diva looses. I could see her frustrated in a role like that, where she has to be the understanding wife with a bit of sass, but she could have made it work, if it wasnt for her huge ego.  I think it would have been an issue haveing all the powerhouse comedy actors surrounding...(lets face it..Alice Ghostly woudl have wiped the floor with her...) but it would have been a good launching padd.
    • Oh good, so I don't have to wait too long haha. I'm glad she cares about seeing Bill graduate. I'm guessing I'm in for a bumpy ride between Bill and Matt, if he's going to be his caretaker? Who else could it be, maybe Josh?

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive. She comes back wearing this HUGE hat---which was a throwback to the old Vanesaa. lol.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time.
