GH: March 2025 Discussion Thread

Haha I certainly was not referring to you about half a brain cell.  But which of those pairings do you think are viable?

Lol.  I like Lucky/Liz.  When Lucky confronted her about her affair with Nik "Rutting like farm animals" lives rent free in my head.  They might not be the most stable couple but they do still actually have chemistry and Liz loves a toxic guy.  I would also not call you crazy for objecting to the things Lucky said because they were gross.

smh lol

I don't think I could ever get past that either, even if the show pretends it never happen (or doesn't even remember the scene).

With Jason not as involved in the mob, Jason/Liz could be a more natural pairing these days, but the show's lack of interest in Jake tells you how little interest the show has in the relationship. They still see Jason as a "star" character while Liz is lucky to be there. 

The three of them have ascended to some absurdly high plane where almost nothing can register for them - viable stories, love interests, nothing. This is the end result of writing that is too slanted in your favor (and I don't count characters who pay lip service to being anti-Sonny - that's an old shell game going back 30 years).

I wouldn't go along with Jason/Liz for a lot of reasons, among them being I don't want to reward their delusional behavior online but also I just don't think there's anything left there. It's not 2006 anymore. What beats are left to play after how she humiliated herself for him in 2012 and 2015? By contrast I think Lucky and Liz as adults are still genuinely untapped, and I think they did a good job cleaning up some of the ugly stuff from the Guza II era in some of the recent dialogue over the holidays and in January, when I do think they sort of addressed the scene mentioned above.

I've been meaning to mention something. File it under one fan's opinion. I think we have a more harmonious place to hang out when we post about the topic at hand instead of posting about each other.

Now about GH & pairings i am all in for Lucky & Liz. Finally the other day they mutually declared their feelings for one another. I know the show is invested in them because they have paid for modern digitizing of flashbacks & then they have used them to good effect.

Jackly continues BUT that is going to blow up when Carly finds out about Joss being a WSB agent. Or if Brennan really was behind the bomb in Sonny's old place, then, that would also signal the end of Jackly. 

For anyone who doesn't know portmanteaus, ship names, smoosh names, if it were me I think I would ask but I can't imagine someone not being able to figure them out. I mean this is not rocket science. And, if your problem is that you are disdainful of them, well the words are right there: your problem.

Also IMO we have recently seen the best acting Steve Burton has ever done. And I celebrate that.

Hard to believe, Steve Burton had more storyline possibilities on Days of our Lives than he currently has on General Hospital.

I'm not sure whether I agree but if you are correct then I think I can account for it. Harris had almost no baggage. He was almost a blank slate. All he really carried forward was having been a Navy seal. In comparison Jason Morgan has what we might call a ton of baggage.

[Paul Raven]

Are you talking about the fictional Port Charles hospital or the show itself?

Cos I'm leaning towards the latter...
