GH: March 2025 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I’ve been watching right after BTG via the NY ABC broadcast, the quality difference is startling to see back to back tbh. I see where GH is going with the show but its still coming up short in story beat play, love pairings and overall entertainment. They need a creative refresh so badly.

I did enjoy Lulu and Spinelli finally reuniting and getting into hijinks like the JMB days. I like that they’ve kicked the Drew vs Curtis feud into full gear too with Ms Wu helping Drew blackmail Portia. I’m curious what they do with Lucky and Liz going forward since Cyrus has been dealt with and Kristina as a ticking time bomb of unhinged is still interesting for me.

The Gio stuff is so heavy handed, Tracy and Martin are repetitive, and while I like Sasha potentially working for Sidwell her character and this forced Jason attachment ain’t it for me. 

Trina and Kai do nothing for me, Molly and Cody are an unfortunate snooze pairing, I don’t care for Lucas and creepy Brad, they’re barely playing the only interesting beat Sidwell has which is his former marriage to Natalia, and I have little interest in this Alias JR story with Josslyn or seeing Carly date a man who’s turned her daughter into a killer.

I don't really have much of an opinion about Cody and Molly as a long term couple.  I just find the whole situation strange.  Molly and TJ were together for, what, a decade?  They were life partners and were ready to start a family and now they are just done.  TJ's disappeared and there is no follow up for him at all.   Cody was more upset about the demise of his relationship with Sasha, which barely got anywhere, than Molly is about the dissolution of her long term partnership.

I really could care less about Molly/TJ as a couple, but this whole Cody/Molly thing feels rushed.  I also think Cody is kind of old for her.   Knowing Cody's previously relationship history it will probably take him 2 years to get to first base with Molly though.

I expect changes out of the GH writing team. I watch the two shows one after the other but reversed from you.

L&L2 is quite interesting to me,, so far at least. Also of interest, Avarice, Ava with Ric. Although I hated the other day when Ric attacked Kristina. I mean, good Lord, Ava is NO damsel in distress. Ava is quite capable of fighting her own battles.

 

Nothing about natalia interests me, at all. 

Carly, I predict is going to be furious at NuJack!!! This is a death notice for that couple. You might have noticed that they put Charles Mesure on contract only when that budding romance began.  Recast Chris M is on recurring. Make of that what you will.

It is strange the show so clearly puts everyone through a lot of turmoil, but only picks a handful of people to show every step of their lives/emotional development. I feel like we saw way more of Kristina than Molly, and even less of TJ. This story should have covered all of them equally. Same with Joss and Trina- compare Joss losing Dex to Trina losing Spencer. If I give it more thought I am sure I can find more examples.

Gio is too cute to be this wasted by GH.

Drew and the show fully embracing him as a scumbag is the only thing these writers have done that works completely for me. Willow being duped by him might finally lead to the story we all want, which is Willow going unhinged on her way out of town.

While I am at it, watching Scamanda on Hulu shows what a missed opportunity Willow faking her cancer could have been.

Van does try to bring the passion when he gets to kiss another man.

GH should take some notes from BTG- inject some fun ASAP.

OMG! Marty just out-Tracy'd Tracy! Who knew he had it in him?!!!

How sweet, Gio's concern is for Scout ... 

Wow! I have always liked Van Hansis but he's almost convinced me to change my mind about Brad ...

It always feels as if the writing for minorities goes through levels and levels of scrutiny, from writers to producers to the EP to the network -- and that at any level, changes can be and are made. When has writing by committee ever worked? When has writing with fear ever worked?

 

GH did to TJ what soaps always do when writing off a character, and I hate it. Instead of giving that character a proper goodbye and resolution, s/he disappears -- as if we're not going to notice that character is gone. Once again, it's production treating us like idiots.
