GH: March 2025 Discussion Thread

Who was fooled? In what universe was someone fooled? Not me, not fooled not for a moment.

[Toups]

I think it's okay to show shirtless guys who don't have a six pack, just as it's okay to show women who aren't size 0 in a bikini. 

I continue to enjoy Drew as this type of bad guy. We need more villains like this - someone who isn't a threat to kill someone, or trying to take over the world, or a mob related bad guy. Love watching him reveal to Portia that he knows about falsified records.

Given how well BTG did, the drop GH had was not too bad

Question is can BTG maintain this rating

I believe he last appeared on December 6, 2024.

Drewfus blew up  michael

Drew is such a prick now and everyone knows it except Willow. Cameron is perfect in this new portrayal of Drew Quartermaine. I’m curious which lie or scheme will be the one to blow up their relationship.

I also liked that Brad had an average body.

We got so little of TJ’s point of view. And then they broke them up and he just vanished so the show could really hammer home that we shouldn’t care about him because they don’t care about him.

Cody feels old for Molly. And they have no chemistry.

And lead to his murder mystery.

Oh, we are actually getting Miami. Not that there's anything wrong with average.

 

 

Except your taste is better than Ron.

Chem, like taste in eye candy, both are subjective.

[Taoboi]

Very.

[Aragorn]

I hate Portia. I hope that Drew takes her down. 
I am glad that Heather is being spoken of again.

[bossruen]

Drew’s blackmail scheme doesn’t make a ton of sense because exposing Portia would require him to come out in favor of Heather’s release…which happened already anyway. Politically it seems like it would behoove him to stay away from the whole situation.

It's another way to phase Trina out of the show in a way where they know viewers won't miss her.

I don't see how it can, but hopefully they will not have a massive drop.

GH's drop week-on-week wasn't that bad. The issue is more the drop from this time last year. Unfortunately, they are likely to read the wrong tea leaves, especially since they made some changes that should have been good for the show last year and their only reward was a sizable ratings drop they haven't fully recovered from.

Molly is an interesting case because the actresses who have played her as an adult seem younger than the character might be in other hands. Like Belle on DAYS, who immediately seemed 40 once Martha Madison took over. I see the previous Molly (the one who lasted about five minutes) was 40, although I don't remember if that was noticeable onscreen. 

[Aragorn]

Molly 3 was 39 and looked like she was 50.

[carolineg]

Haley Pullos looked too young to play the surrogate story and this current stuff.  And, yes, it was very noticeable when OldMolly was playing the part lol. She looked 40. 

The current Molly looks older than HP of course.  I believe KV is 28 which is what I imagine Molly's age should be.  She's probably been aged up a bit since HP left the role.  There is no way Cody isn't 40 given the whole Dante/Brook/Gio story.  Dante and Cody are older than BLQ.  JK looks his age (42).  In real life, that wouldn't necessarily give me a pause.  Molly seems pretty mature.  I just think about DZ playing a full grown adult when Molly was a child so Cody just seems like an entire different generation in age.

Don't even get me started on MM as Belle.  Yes, she looked like a 40 year old soccer mom from the jump lol.

Martha Madison was always a bad, bland choice who looked too old. She has cultivated audience appreciation by being so engaged with fans but she basically ended Belle as a lead over time.

Vaganos comes off a bit too old and stiff for me as Molly, the eternal temp. But I still think they should've just written her and T.J. out. The character is tired and needs a break, and can come back single sometime.
