GH: April 2025 Discussion Thread

Exactly this. The Cassadines stole Ava’s divorce settlement. And then Kristina terrorized and threatened her. They deserve whatever hell Ava rains down on them, and worse. Sonny too.

Since it's leaving my system today, I went ahead and watched the anniversary episode.

 

I remember seeing some comments over it since I had stopped regularly viewing by this point. And now that I think about it, I might want to see the rest of the fallout from the Liz/Ric car crash cuz...LIZ...but outside of the historical moments...I didn't really feel anything...which has been unusual for GH anniversary episodes. I seem...dare I say it...half-baked.

 

We got a flashback for Lucy and her many dresses at the Nurses Ball, but no other flashbacks. We get a mention of Lesley and Monica and no flashbacks. Mentions of other legacy characters, but no flashback...but we can focus on shoehorning in the favor of the month. Or on Sonny propping. I did love the Tracy/Stella scene.

 

Which is a shame. I liked the idea behind it (dedicating a wing to Monica). I really loved seeing the recurring nurses because I liked both and wished they were in story more often. At least I got to see a lot of vets (hey, Mac, hey! and Anna looked really good), but that was more bad than good. And I expected more. But it wasn't an Elizabeth episode so...*shrugs*
 

 

Oooo now that I love.

 

I'm happy to at least hear this. Ava didn't deserve to look her money in the first place. And I haaaate the 'Ava is Broke' storyline.

I agree. I wasn't crazy about those episodes when they aired, and looking back, they seem ever worse. Nothing special went on at all.

They summed up the entire mess with that plaque GH put up for Monica. Her face was so small on the plaque photo that I had to squint to see it.

I can see why people had issues with it. It felt like two different ideas trying to get out. And since those two ideas did not mesh well already, it was a mess.

 

Summed up perfectly by an event for a legacy character that everyone cared about being gimmicky overshadowed (and propped by another legacy character in order to get the audience on a specific side) by someone that had NOTHING to do with the themes/drives of the episode.

He'll probably turn out to be an ecoterrorist who holds Emma and Joss hostage in a few months, but for now I'm enjoying Daniel Goddard's professor character. As a college professor myself, I was on his side immediately when I saw his bemused reaction to Joss. We've all been there with the student who misses the first three weeks of class then confidently tells us that she's sure she can catch up.
