GH: June 2025 Discussion Thread

https://www.hulu.com/hub/tv/collections/9979

Amazed! But loving it. What this shows is GH Hulu out of top 15, GH is #2 & this was Saturday. Are we happy campers? Yes, at least for the moment, you bet we are.

There has been some confusion about Michael & facial burns. Please see this post: https://bsky.app/profile/shallotpeel.bsky.social/post/3lqkrryu54226

I've chosen to put this here instead of the Classic Thread because it is now with the appearance of recast Michael that this has come up. Different places online, including at least one podcast, remarks have been made about how remarkable it is that he is without facial scarring. Other fans say it was clear from the first that he did not have facial burns. What is included in this post is 2 screengrabs where you can see his face at the hospital & a very quick edit of that day in the hospital. 

Lois and Gloria did the right thing
I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy
No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio
I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth

Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person. 

About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to. 

Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category.

I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria.

I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu.

Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!

Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

 

I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.

I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. If people think back the show took their time & picked their time both with Sonya Eddy & with Jackie Zeman & did well both times. I feel like they will again.

Where is the Monica tribute? And now we have to do a Lesley tribute. Come on Frank. History.

Everyone except gio made mistakes. I don't agree with them, but I understand. Deep down, I'm team Gio. The rest of the family needs to let Gio lead and walk thru it from there.

Wow. Sometimes you say the perfect thing & at the best time! Take a bow. 

-- I know all these confrontation scenes are needed after the Gio reveal, but I hope this doesn't go on too long. It gets repetitive.

-- It was good to see Gloria Cerullo (Lois' mother) but I could have done without the "Respect your elders" lecture.

-- Just as I thought, Gio went to Sonny first. Guess he had to hear all the truth from the biggest criminal in town. And now the show ends with Dante visiting Sonny for some paternal wisdom. And the previews show Dante telling Sonny he owes him an apology? GMAFB.

-- At least we're not getting Natalia thrown in. Eva LaRue seems to be on her way out....at least I hope she is.

-- The preview with Gio walking in on his mother, grandmother, and great grandmother looks good, but let's move it along, people.

-- The writing for Liz and Lucky is so damn weird. Would Liz really be so mellow and laid back when she hears from Lucky that he knew what Kristina did and that he's perfectly OK with covering it up?

 

Based on the dialogue today, it did seem like Brook Lynn/AS spent a lot of the episode pointing out how ridiculous the whole rewrite about Gio is 😂😂

But I'm still enjoying the storyline though. Even Sonny wasn't that bad today. His scenes with Gio were necessary, I guess. 

However, what I did find unnecessary today was this whole Liz/Lucky thing. Just friggin reunite them already. 

The writing for Lucky/Liz is really erratic.  Is that a ring Lucky has? Are Lucky and Liz even officially dating lol?

I actually entirely forgot about Natalia.  I guess the Eva La Rue experiment is over.
