GH: April 2025 Discussion Thread

Kelly Sullivan was too young for that role.

Megan was great as Kate. Too bad we didn't see what she would have done with Connie.

Connie should never have existed.

Well I did tune in to see the Willow vs Carly catfight. And yeeeah that was good. I've been wanting Carly to slap the taste out of her mouth since Michael got burned. YES, CARLY please GET...ON...THE...LOOSE.

 

I did like seeing Diane give Alexis the hard truth that Kristina should have been committed ages ago. Still running around town calling that baby by the wrong name. Also good to see Liz and Ric are okay.

 

While I'm here I do hate that it seems like Michael is quickly recovering off-screen. I would have had him in a coma off-screen so that when the inevitable recast happen, he could just shock/surprise folk after six months of pulling manipulate strings behind the scenes. 

 

And I do find it funny that NOW the New/Old writers want to poke at Sonny's friendship with Laura and Anna given that PM did a better job of that very thing by dissolving the friendships in his run because he saw the illogicalness of it in the first place. So...the side-eye.

I do wonder if Patrick Mulcahey was hired as sole Head Writer in January 2024 if he would have lasted longer?

The alter? I agree. Especially with a stupid name like Connie.

Connie should have never existed.  Kelly Sullivan was way too young to be Sonny's high school girlfriend, and Megan Ward was the last person MB had viable chemistry with.

Pretty much. And while I thought KS was actually okay as the wound-tight Kate in her early months, everything about her performance as Connie was totally embarrassing. But it's exactly the kind of campy, OTT 'tour de force' Frank and RC often loved. Until they got other stars (Maura West) and lost interest!

Megan was wonderful as Kate but every time she's returned as Ghost Connie I've found her dreadful. In fairness the material is pretty bad.

I don't think Kelly Sullivan is awful.  Her material was and she's what? a decade younger than LW and VM who are supposed to also be significantly younger than Sonny.  It was just an odd casting choice.

Listen, with Ghost Connie I just think Megan Ward is tanking it because she pissed off she got fired for no reason in the first place.
