GH: April 2025 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

I thought it was a great day but Willow lied, the whole time, she just told one lie after another. Thank god Carly didn't let her get away with it. She said that she & Michael were having problems. A lie. They were not. She said that the time when she did what Carly said was gone. When did she ever do anything Carly said? Never happened. Another lie. She said every single decision she has made she made for the benefit of her children. You guessed it. That's a lie. Carly said that technically Wiley is not her child. True! Carly said the only reason Michael let her be a mom to Wiley is because she is a good person, which she no longer is. Carly intends to fight for Michael's rights with his children.

I don’t think that the show is getting rid of Kristina. I think that Kristina will have a storyline inside Ferncliff. Nelle was mentioned today. Perhaps Nelle is still alive under an alias, and Kristina encounters her in Ferncliff.

[jasonminer1974]

I know that

[carolineg]

I feel like I have a vague memory of this, but did Willow actually adopt Wiley?   I know she's the only mom he's ever known and blah blah...  I just can't remember if she legally adopted him.

I like the occasional dressing down of Carly like what happened today, but I hate that the writers will only have it delivered by characters who are very much unpopular and in the "wrong", so when they realize the error of their ways, Carly will inevitably come out as abrasive, but "right" all along, and all of her shortcomings will be magically swept under the rug again.

I would have been on team Willow if this argument was about her defending Nina a few years ago, but she is defending Drewfus.

TBH, I thought Carly "won" the argument and Willow looked stupid.  I don't think I can ignore basically everything Carly has done since 1996, but Willow just seemed to be idiotic yesterday.  I mean, good for her to stand up to Carly.  That's more screeching than any human should have to take from Laura Wright lol

[prefab1]

It might not quite be the "dressing down" you're looking for, but we did just have a week where like 5 or 6 different characters stopped by Carly's hospital room to tell her that she was an idiot to continue dating the man who nearly got her killed from polonium poisoning. So it's not like she's being portrayed as completely unflawed. 

 

[Contessa Donatella]

The thing that most non-Carly fans miss is that her fans love her flawed. We figure the messier the better! Anything less would be so boring. 

Speaking of Nina, could you believe it was her who texted Jason? And, did you see the look on her face the whole time?

Minus all the nonsense with Portia, Curtis and Trina acting like Drew paying for Kai's surgery is akin to signing a deal with the devil and Joss and Ken Doll secret agent guy, Friday was excellent.

Diane laid it all out for Alexis: Your daughter is insane and you are an enabler. So stop that.

Carly was infuriating in the best way. She shines when her hateful hypocrisy is called out, as it was immediately by Willow and Drew, as opposed to the Earth Mother role they've shoehorned her into the past few years.

She herself is an adoptee, as is her brother and so is her son yet without hesitation she told Willow that Wiley isn't her son. That was so nasty, my god.

I love what they're doing with Emma. The specificity is so rare in daytime. And they're building her as a legacy character taking after a fan favorite without making her a carbon copy. 

Hmm what else?

Trina's top was really cute.

I kind of wish they would've made Gio and Emma boyfriend and girlfriend by now, they spend all of their time together anyway, just make 'em a couple. 

Anyone notice that as soon as Jason and Sasha started heading toward coupledom that she exclusively wears all black everything? Btw I can't believe I'm saying this because I've found her useless for so long and Jason is mostly a test pattern to me when he appears but I'm enjoying their rapport. They look good together and somehow make the other more tolerable.

[Taoboi]

Well, that's good to hear. I might pop in for a good Carly catfight when I sit down to take in the anniversary episode.

This.

[carolineg]

It was a lot of worrying over nothing?  Drew doesn't currently seem to have an ulterior motive for helping Kai out.  It's just shoulder surgery lol.  If Kai, a grown adult, is fine with just butt out.

I suspect Sofia Mattsson is pregnant in real life.  She hasn't confirmed that or anything so I'll just leave it at that because it's not my business.  It could also just be an odd stylistic choice since GH doesn't know how to dress anyone.  It's like when Sam and Jason used to wear matching black leather jackets.

I think Jason and Sasha make an okay couple.  It's just a retread of previous Jason romances.   I think Steve/Jason works best with fiery women like Carly, Brenda, or even Britt.  He's a good straight man to their antics.  And, no, that's not a Jarly endorsement lol.  Sasha just feels too bland for him.

[Khan]

There's only true love for Jason, and it's Spinelli, lol.

[carolineg]

Lol.  I know you are joking, but if there was any character I wanted to leave and never return in 2010 it was Spinelli.  Now, I actually like him a lot.  He is one of the few characters in a decade and a half that has positive character growth.  

[Antoyne]

I despise that I don’t mind Spinelli anymore. And now he’s a complete afterthought go figure.

[carolineg]

Spinelli is a character that works in small doses.  I don't know why Guza thought Spinelli was so funny and cool.  Bradford doesn't play Spinelli as hyper and childlike anymore either.  It's like the character of Spinelli just grew up and matured lol.  That never happens on GH!
