GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

[carolineg]

After playing Lily Rivera with the personality of a wet dishrag, the bar was low for Melgar lol.

Anna/Sonny is even stranger to me.  Sure, he helped Robin out a lot 30 years ago, but Anna and Sonny don't have any real history.  Anna can tolerate both Sonny/Jason for her daughter's sake.  She does not need to be friendly with either.  Anna's character has taken a real hit with all the Valentin things as well.

Have Emma and Sonny interacted yet?  I can't remember.

I think her friendships with Jason and Sonny stem from Robin's loyalty to them, but to me, that isn't enough for them to be friends. Anna is a grown-ass adult, and she can make her own decisions; that'd be like saying Robin needs to be friendly with anyone in Anna's life due to her loyalty to them.

And I don't believe so. And I hope they never do.

Much like I always say Tanisha Harper is very pretty, so was Lilly Melgar.  Very pretty lol. She wore very cute slip dresses that young carolineg adored lol.  She's probably not even a bad actress. Lily (the character) had 0 charisma and when you are working with 90's Mo and Vanessa, and, uh...Ricky Martin you need some spark. 

People can have friends of all ages and I am not age shaming Anna or Finola, but Jason/Sonny are your daughter's friends.  My mother isn't friends with my friends or at least doesn't actively hang out with them lol.

Yeah, I don't really care if Emma has scenes with Sonny.  I am just waiting for her to bust out the "Uncle Sonny" nickname.

Harper > Melgar (yes, I said it)

I happen to be in the lonely camp of actually liking Harper as Jordan, although I still believe Jordan, as a character, could easily be eliminated from the canvas, and I would be A-OK with it. Honestly, the character of Jordan went from interesting to expendable the moment she was taken out of the Jerome circle and made a law enforcement agent.

I'm not age-shaming Finola Hughes either. It simply comes down to the characters at this point. To go from interacting with David Hayward and Edmund on AMC to Jason and Sonny on GH... is an actual choice. Hell, I'd even add Valentin to that list.

I tend to ignore the fact you like Tanisha Harper.  She just blends in.  When she comes on screen I literally mind drift and think what I want for lunch.

Melgar's Lily at least iconically blew up!!!  And once you know she's going to explode LM is tolerable in rewatch.

It's coming!!  Half the young people in town call him "Uncle Sonny" or, well, "Dad" lol.  You know Emma's going to be on that bandwagon. 

[Liberty City]

Don't feel bad: most do. I know it's in the "less than" category of opinions. And lunch? What's for lunch today?

 Definitely am improvement overall, hah.

I want someone to call him "bastard". Ha. Maybe I should sneak into Port Charles for a second.

[carolineg]

I'll get back to you when Jordan appears on screen. Lol!

The Anna/Jason symbiotic relationship is the one that sticks out to me.  They went way out of their way to tell us & show us that they really think they get each other. Basically they have INSISTED that they are somehow perfect partners. Plus, in Africa they treated us to a "Are We About To Die?" kiss. Meanwhile they have worked & overworked the idea that they were  NOT going there of course because to Jason she is & always will be Robin's mother. Okay, geeze, fine, use time, space & dialog to push a variety of different messages, some of which seem to us to clash! We're just the fans, being told what to think. Don't mind us at all when we grumble. If Robin were watching this show, I can only imagine the "Letters to the Editor"!!! 

[Efulton]

Thank you!  I cannot be sure but I do think it is the same set.

[Contessa Donatella]

I thought we knew it was.

[Efulton]

How did "we" know this?  Did i miss an announcement?

[janea4old]

I know in-universe Port Charles, that these are different buildings, but it's still weird visually that Lulu is living (on the set) where her father accidentally killed her grandmother and in rage killed her grandfather

There is detail here if you scroll down to "behind the scenes"
https://general-hospital.fandom.com/wiki/Spencer_House

Same set

• Eckert family starting in 1991
• Carly/Jax 2005-2009
• Luke/Bobbie/Pat and parents in 1960s from 2015 storyline
• and now Lulu in 2025

They established in 2015 that Pat had signed the house over to the Eckerts in the 1960s, so that is the same house that the Eckerts had in-universe in 1991.

May I ask then:  Carly's 2004-2009 house and Lulu's 2025 house are each supposed to be different buildings -- unrelated to Spencer history (despite them both being Spencer daughters) ?

Thank you! It would have been a nice nod to history if Lulu stated that she bought the house that her Eckert’s relatives used to live in.

I thought someone saw a pic in someone's IG acct. is all, but, cute, nope, not an announcement, although that's a lovely idea. 

Memo to the Fans from Franky: The next set I will be repurposing - and expect you to all bow down & worship me in appreciation, ..... 

Indeed! That line would be as easy as 

"TJ really thinks he's going to be glad he's now doing Doctors without Borders."
