GH: February 2025 Discussion Thread

[Jdee43]

Wasn't feeling the Brennan recast today. They should have just had Brennan disappear or get killed off off screen, and brought Chris McKenna in as an entirely new character. Now he has to carry around the Brennan baggage.

Agreed that recasting has probably accelerated the inevitability of writing off the Brennan character. Unless the producers get stubborn and dig in their heels that is..

Those fans are committed to only one thing, Liason. They are dead set against L&L2 also to Liz with Ric. No one but Jason will do. Even when Liz is on more are they happy? NO.

Also they have created this backstory where Lucky was abusive to Liz. They use this to justify their ambivalence against the pairing. I think their rewrite of history is out of thin air. Why couldn't it be fat air?

And bite your tongue about Violet.

My first impression was good but of course I need to see more.

The OP was talking about Friz fans, not Liason fans.

If the departure was very sudden, they may not have had the time to change the scripts. Or maybe Frank just didn't care about making the effort. They will probably just have him on long enough to reveal he was the baddie all along and have Sonny, Jason, Valentin save the day. The main way he might stay is if they finally give up on Sidwell and just offload some of those stories onto him.

Since Franco & Finn had both been discussed, I confess I was not sure. However, I just picked up on the verb "committed" & went from there. If it caused any discomfort, that was not my intent. But, what I posted about IS where they are now.

But it's true, I could go for years without talking about Finn.

[Soapsuds]

Same

He sucked and I'm a fan of the actor.

They should've killed off the character when Valentin was shocking him to death.

Yeah, if I didn't know better, I would say RC was still in the house because that is his thing. But he's over at BTG so I don't know what to say. 

 

Though I wouldn't mind Trina being there for Gio when he finds out. Since she does have experience in that department. 

Lord I hope not. 

 

Taste.

I think that the new Brennan fell flat in the role. Brennan's storyline will probably be cut short now. Romance with Carly is probably off now.

Drew told Carly that Jason made Sasha pregnant! The whole town will now know this falsehood. 

I don't miss Violet. She can stay away.

I love Lucky and Liz as a couple. Ditto Isaiah and Jordan.

I think Joss is the special project

 

I liked lubabe taking notes

I thought this Jason/Sasha pregnancy story was going to be slightly more organic than what's happening on screen.   Between Cody running around town telling everyone Sasha's business incorrectly and Drew just announcing her pregnancy and baby daddy to a room full of people at a restaurant, I am seriously offended on Sasha's behalf.  This show loves to humiliate Sasha.  She's a grown woman and can take care of herself.   The misogyny on this show never ends.  Sasha doesn't need a man to help her raise a baby.  She has said several times she intends to raise this baby on her own.  It's 2025, not 1955. 

Also, Willow and Drew continue to be the worst lol.

Going by clips, it seems like Chris M caught the essence of Charles Mesure's Brennan to me...even caught his accent without even sporting an accent...if that makes sense. 

[Contessa Donatella]

I like the fact that he is kind of growling his lines. I'm not sure why but it seems to work.

[Taoboi]

It seems like he studied Charles. So I suspect that he's going to take some of his techniques and mannerisms and make them his own...something the best recasts are known to do. Usually it works so I have faith.

[Contessa Donatella]

By this do you mean that Joss is about to be co-opted into the WSB? If so, I wholeheartedly agree.

[Khan]

See, I read statements like that, and I think: What would happen if Sasha learns that carrying her baby to term poses a risk to her and/or her unborn child?  Would Sasha consider terminating her pregnancy?  Would Jason try to stop her?  Would that compel Sasha to reveal her baby's real father?  And how would Sasha's choice affect everyone around them, once the truth was out?

A potentially worthwhile story, considering the times we live in and the fact that this show is called GENERAL. HOSPITAL. 

Then, I remember how skittish TPTB are these days even to mention the word "smashmortion," and I get sad and angry all over again.
