GH: March 2025 Discussion Thread

One thing I’ll say about Willow is that they’re starting to acknowledge how willfully blind and self-destructive she is, an easy target for con men and megalomaniacs like Shiloh and Drew. And MacMullen has improved; her performance perks up when she gets to play Willow as more than just a passive victim.

This, to me, is an upgrade from when she spent half a year reclining on the couch because she was keeping her cancer a secret.

I tell you it was a sign. This one day Will-hoe talking to Chase & I said to myself, Here we go, Self-Awareness 101, a first step & let's see what Chase will say ... He said, and I quote: You are a good person & everyone knows it.

Well, I just about cried. That was the day I realized Chase is stupid. 

I figure we're gonna get Chillow & if you add up 2 dumb people then what you get is one giant bore. Snoozefest.

Lindsay Morgan's Kristina felt like an entirely different Kristina.  I don't think GH ever mentions her marriage to Trey and his death.  That whole Joe Scully/Kate/Connie era was a rough watch, so I don't think it's entirely LM's fault.  Mansi lines up more with Ainsworth to me although I think Lexi is warmer and more sympathetic as an actress. 

Sasha was fine when she was first introduced.  I don't even mind her now.  She's never felt like anything more than a fringe character to me and never should have lasted this long though.  Both she and MacMullen share so many similar characteristics.  Neither actress really stands out in a good or bad way.  Willow could get an upgrade if she was faking cancer and evil this whole time.

Considering the whole Jake paternity debacle as well no one should believe anything Jason says about children's conceptions.

Don't ask me why, but I feel like since Mansi took over the role, Trey has really become a non-subject; she might have mentioned him once, in passing, to Alison (a.k.a. Blaze). Ainsworth is warmer and more sympathetic as an actress; I couldn't have seen Mansi in the Dud of Day storyline at all; she's too much in the role for it to have worked with anyone but Mansi.

I don't remember Kristina ever mentioning Trey since LM left. And good riddance!

LOL so this is a fourth time! Christ.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Willow should go full Susan Moore when she finds out Drew was with her mother and go scorched earth. Wield the Q name, Michael's power of attorney, etc. and make life hell for everyone who ever crossed her. Seduce poor dopey Chase because she can (who already is easy for her), shoot Drew and frame Nina, maybe blackmail Drew or force him into marriage, fake her cancer again, etc. I think KMM has the bitchy princess edge to make it work. I wouldn't keep her around forever - Susan Moore met her end too - but you could get at least another couple good years out of the character this way. Her comeuppance can begin when a recast Michael returns.

She's unreal. I dont get what they are doing with her bc she isnt getting a villian edit bc it seems like they still want to portray her like she's still a good person when in actually she is so nasty. Drew brings out the absolute worse in her. I cant wait till her fairytale blows up in her face

I thought this was an excellent week at GH. I even did more edits than usual.

I loved Liz & Lucky, both that he stayed over & that they talked & declared their mutual feelings, finally. 

No idea why Ava is just going from person to person, which is including so many strange visitations. 

No idea why Lucky got stuck counseling Kristina unless it's just because she has no friends & he works for her at Charlie's or alternately they want to give JJ more to do. 

I loved Anna arresting Valentin. What I wonder is what he's going to be charged with & stand trial for.

Liked Carly being poisoned & visited by Lucas, Felicia, Jack & Jason.  Very much liked Felicia bringing Bobbie into it.

I never wanted a romantic relationship between them, but I think the story could have worked if it had explored why Jason keeps getting involved in these lies and also had him examine the reality that he set Michael up in a world where carnage is normalized. None of that has really happened. I'm not sure what the point is. I could see Drew blackmailing Jason, but what is the fallout if people find out Michael is the father? 

If they had had Michael get involved in some type of dangerous business deal, or even said that one of Drew's associates was responsible for the bombing, then the secret would be more important, but none of that happened. 

I do like Sasha, and I think a soap needs a character like Sasha, basically a "normal" and "nice" character who suffers. She's not alone in that on GH - you could count Liz, and others - but she doesn't have as much baggage. I think SM has a sincerity in her work which goes a long way in making you care. Unfortunately, this current story has boxed her in, whether it was meant as some attempt to cement her or not. Even when Michael inevitably returns, what are we going to get? A custody battle between Jason and Michael might be juicy, but will they have an honest conversation about Jason barely caring about his actual children?

I agree wholeheartedly about GH keeping characters beyond their expiration dates, but including Dante on that list? Sorry, I don't get that at all.

I hope that's not a Lucky/Kristina chem test. They really don't seem to have any idea of what to do with Kristina.

I knew that would be a controversial pick. To me Dante hasn't added any value since he returned was with Sam. 

Regarding Sam, I never wanted a long-term character like her to be killed off, I would've preferred they either gave her some storyline, Kelly Monaco acted better, or they recasted her role. They could've even written her off the canvas and brought her back in a few years with refreshed ideas.

    • So, Roman admitted that everything he did was to protect Johnny. I like that. It adds another dynamic to this storyline. And it’s also a much better use of the character of Roman. He’s been stuck in the Pub for too long lol I’m also really liking the way that Roman and Kate’s relationship has been written lately. As for Josh Taylor’s voice… no comment

      And speaking of relationships, I’ve also been seeing improvements in the relationships between Johnny and Paulina as well. I enjoyed their scenes today. They really feel more like an actual mother in law and son in law. I’m cringing a little at the way that Paulina would’ve been written had Ron stayed on a little longer. This type of writing is the exact thing that the character of Paulina needed, especially for a storyline like this.  I am a little intrigued with the idea of EJ and Xander going head to head over buying the hospital too, mostly because of how it could drive other storylines, couples, etc.,like EJ and Belle. Him basically using Belle as his own personal fixer, both with Johnny and the hospital board could lead to something interesting happening in the future. And Philip, doing whatever he can in order to get back in Xander’s good graces is a good addition to this storyline as well.  Btw, I don’t dislike it at all but I still can’t believe that they’re

      And yeah, sorry, I know that Days means well but I think they’re making a little too much out of this Xander/Felicity thing. But Xander and Sarah were sweet today. I’m looking forward to seeing everything between them get blown to hell.  Seriously, one of the worst, if not the worst, team in soap history. 
    • Thanks for letting me know! I thought there was a preemption until CBS confused me by uploading Monday's episode on Friday.
    • Lucky Day is an awfully good Doctor-lite episode focused on Millie Gibson and Jemma Redgrave - I am glad the show brought in Varada Sethu who continues to give major Caroline John/Liz Shaw vibes, but Millie was always very good in what felt designed to be a single arc companion and she's very good here too. She deserves a bit more somewhere in the franchise. The depressingly relevant storyline aside, I was most impressed by the showcase for UNIT and Kate Stewart. Jemma is always good but she was amazing here, noting the Doctor would've stopped her from going all the way re: Think Tank if he were there. Yet it's the kind of brute force her father could and did resort to in extreme situations back in the day. I almost hoped she would allow Conrad to be killed right then and there, which is something I think the Brigadier also would've done when backed against a wall over operational control and the safety of the Earth. She came very close, and the steel Redgrave exhibited (as always) was amazing. Whatever spinoffs can still materialize given the current streaming climate and DW's uncertain future (I do think it will continue somewhere, but I would not be shocked if it's back to a run of holiday specials for awhile a la Tennant's and Whittaker's), aside from the upcoming odd Sea Devils miniseries that's in the can, I still hope UNIT and Kate can get a proper one sometime.
    • I think it was just him  And it gave good explanations as to why Alistair was the way that he was. By the time the series ended, he was just evil for evil’s sake 
    • To me, that made no difference. The point stands whether Eva wants to be a Dupree or not. Anita was 110% on top of things. Also it's a logical inference that Eva might be interested in having a place in her supposedly real family. Frankly though I wonder if Eva knows how to feel ... yet. She could really be confused.
    • Does Jack ever dress in drag during that early '00s period where he was trying to get Jennifer back...or does he just fake being gay around then?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
