Episode Discussion II: The TFGH

[Daisy]

Just now, tessaray said:

She said possession was 9/10ths of the law (re custody). A normal saying but yeah, not a great look for her.

lol probably because it's carly and we all knew what she meant coz babies were involved haha

 Carly called the kids possessions?!

After they left, Carly told Michael "possession is 9/10s of the law" (or whatever the percentage is in the saying) and "Willow has possession!" She was yelling at him that Willow is strategizing right now and he needs to do the same immediately with Diane.

I'm dreading Lulu finding out that Anna shot Charlotte. (Which Dante just had the perfect opportunity to bring up.) Like the scene with Nina, it will only remind me of why the character needed a rest in the first place.

Too bad it wasn't a forever rest.

[Desperado]

I love how Jane Elliott can move from b*tch mode to putty in seeing and talking to Lulu, and looking spectacular doing it. Queen.

I’m also glad her character got a promise that Lulu wouldn’t go alone half cocked to find Charlotte. I would understand if some criminal had kidnapped her but Valentin, for all his faults, will not be mistreating her in any way. Calm down girl.

i hope we’ve seen the last of the “over a dead body” Emmy reel scenes for a good long while.

If show kills KW’s Felicia, I will riot.

As will I. I'm a bit worried about Felicia, too.  I mean, if the actress wants to retire just months after the actor playing her on screen husband returns from a life-threatening illness....well, okay.  Real life happens. 

But GH life? Mac has a brand new son and a brand new niece, and his brother is off gallivanting, and stepdaughter Maxie just reconnected with her previously comatose best friend.  Do we really have to give them a tragedy to deal with?  Maybe put her in danger and let Mac and Anna save her, so Anna can get out of her own guilt-ridden head.

Has KW discussed retiring? Wow, it took me 40 years to warm up to Felicia, and now she's leaving? Bummer. But if she figures out that Cyrus is the Angel of Death, I'm not sure she'll survive the realization. But we've had enough death for now. GH kills off characters at a faster rate than any Soap in history.

Speaking of that whole situation, Lucky needs something to do besides providing emotional support to Elizabeth. Laura needs to deputize Lucky (or make him a Detective again) and have him work the Sam, Dex and Charlotte cases simultaneously. Today it seemed like he was shifting into that mode.

[statsgirl]

I don't care about Dex and I have no time for Eden but I have to say that she did a good job in the scene talking to Corpse Dex.

Portia should be calling in the hospital's lawyer right now, not trying to do damage control herself.

Tracy and Ned giving it to Drew was highly satisfying.  Drew trying to convince Michael that Willow really cares for him and should be with him was revolting. The show has really ruined the character since Billy Miller played him.

I read something about Eden M's boyfriend and it wasn't him; wonder if they broke up, it was ugly/painful, and they got rid of him since she is one of their pets.

To be clear, I was just speculating, assuming Felicia is in danger at all.  The only way I could accept it would be if KW wanted it, but I have no info on that, and I'm hoping it's not the case.

Anna shot Charlotte because Charlotte broke into Anna's apartment and was rummaging around a box for some papers. Anna saw the open front door, drew her gun, and when Charlotte moved, pulled the trigger. Victor had persuaded Charlotte through some tarot cards and letters that Anna was bad news.

Charlotte had been harassing Anna prior to the break-in, so Anna's nerves were shot.

[GHScorpiosRule]

Everything that Jane Elliot did (her expressions) and said were: Chef’s Kiss!

And the reunion with Lulu was just wonderful! I loved the “Step Monster” call back.

Drew really has transformed into the worst sleaze ball ever. Can he die next?

I continue to lap up all scenes with Lucky and Elizabeth. But Portia’s pretentious “Nurse Baldwin” continues to grate.

As others have stated, I loved the reality check Dante handed to Lulu.

I cackled when the SLS let Willow and the kids leave, undermining Cujo. 

Unless Felicia ends up as a recovering patient, I’m not worried about Cyrus coming after her.

UGH. Are we forever going to be stuck with perpetually crying Anna?! I guess Show has forgotten that Dex was former military before he was Mooby’s hired goon. Not some naive fresh faced innocent from Kansas.

If this was Columbo or Murder, She Wrote, Columbo and Jessica would have connected the dots between Sam and Dex’s deaths already! But here? Hand wringing over HOW could this HAPPEN? from the cops.

[Sake614]

EM did a good job today with Joss’ grief, but I shed not one tear over Dex. I felt nothing. The character was useless (writers’ fault) and now Joss has two dead boyfriends on her hands. Both of whom were the loves of her life. Poor Dex never had a happy Christmas growing up and they were going to make all new memories together. Now she’ll never make any because he’s gone.  Boo hoo.

if I’m crying over anything it’s that we have to hear about it for the next year. Plus she has Jason vowing to find out what happened. I’d rather he get involved for Elizabeth’s sake than Joss. He and Lucky can team up with Spinelli to bang on a keyboard and come up with Cyrus. 

Loved how Tracy went from bitch to softy the second Lulu walked in the room. And then dismissed Drew like he was the help lol!

while I’m glad that Michael didn’t make a scene and agreed to let the kids leave with Willow, I didn’t appreciate her ‘I need this’ like her wants or needs matter right now. She hasn’t apologized to him, only tried to justify her actions. Still, it was nice to see them both acting like adults and agreeing to talk things over but not take it out on the kids. Added bonus: it made Carly’s head explode 🤣

 

[Cheyanne11]

Carly is such a bitch and a terrible grandmother, to boot.  No hesitation at all about making a scene in front of the kids. She would've probably thrown punches if it had come to that.  What an incredible asshole she is.  

And, ew, how gross is Drew that he's already bombing Willow with texts and phone calls.  Go away, you creep.

The Tracy/Lulu scenes were fantastic.  Jane Elliot continues to be the absolute best and brings out the best in all her scene partners.

All of which happened because Victor brainwashed Charlotte into believing that Anna was the enemy. The Cassadine connection. And now Charlotte is with Valentin Cassadine. Lulu would go even more ballistic.

Joss to Jason:  If I knew you were bringing me to a drafty bridge at night in December, I'd have worn underwear. 

Jason:  I wonder if snot damages pleather.

 

Edited December 17 by ciarra

[nilyank]

Um Jason took Joss to the Bridge. 

I actually want Joss to go back to being pre-med. 

I need Anna to have another setting besides weepy guilt. Dex's death has nothing to do with her nor does the fact that she egged Dex on to become a cop. Dex did not die because he was a cop.

Tracy and Lulu was fine. As they were talking about Luke, it appears that Luke did not visit Lulu in that clinic that Jax found while she was in her coma. 

If we didn't see Cyrus killing Sam and having that a scene with Dex where Dex remembered seeing Cyrus that same night, I could totally see GH bringing back Heather for serially killing Liz's patients.

Drew, stalker much. What if Michael was still at the Gatehouse? What was he going to say?

 

Edited December 17 by nilyank

[sashabear21]

Who gave Drew a clip show of sordid Quartermaine deeds that happened long ago? He's just even more pathetic with this deflection.  "Well I may have slept with Willow, but you did this one horrible thing around the time Pac-Man was invented..." 

JE is the best, loved her joyous expression and how she just kicked everyone out so she could hang with Lulu.  But I can do without the Luke worship.  

I like the Lucky and Liz wingman dynamic and that he stayed for her meeting with Portia and that Portia wasn't a bitch about it.  I hope we're gearing up for an L&L2 detective story (and fine, I know they'll involve Jason somehow, but hopefully he's on the sidelines a bit)

Ugh Carly and her smug smugging.  Glad Michael wasn't having it and LOL did someone really just text Carly that her daughter's boyfriend was dead?? Also had to laugh when Michael asked Ned if he'd seen Sasha. I mean he's eating a bag of storebought cookies Michael, so clearly he hasn't! 

Drew stop stalking Willow. It's gross. 

[driver18]

I thought this was a great ep. I watched every scene which I almost never do. I thought Eden did a fantastic job. She even made me a little weepy.

Carly continues to be a massive bitch, and Drew a massive tool.

I actually thought CD did a pretty good job, and Michael was a non-garbage person all around. 

I loved that when Willow, Nina and the kids left, Willow told them to say goodbye to daddy, but, hah!, nothing for grandma Carly. And, yup, they all walked out without the kids acknowledging Carly as they left. Hahahahahaha!

Dante and NuLulu continue to work really well for me. In a way that OGLulu and GRLulu never did. I have genuinely enjoyed all of their scenes. And, like, everyone else thus far has mentioned, the Tracy/Lulu scenes were grand. Jane Elliot is a treasure, and truly is one beautiful woman.

Every moment with Elizabeth and Lucky just makes my heart squee with joy. I love them so much!! (Not that I've forgotten the bus-runnage-over on Finn. They could've made room for my L&L2 without doing that!) I love, love what they're doing with them, and I hope this is a slow burn way of getting Lucky back onto the police force.

Again, good ep!

Jason being the next logical person after Carly to comfort Joss was a giant eyeroll to me.

It really felt like Drew was reading off Tracy’s Wikipedia page. All of these facts are deep cuts that Jason Morgan would not have bothered to remember.

Neither previous iteration of Dante and Lulu ever truly worked for me, honestly. Especially ERs version; I could never understand what he saw in her. But DZ is a real pro and sold both pairings. He and AH have real chemistry, and you can almost feel the characters' deep connection to each other. I really appreciate the mature way Lulu handled Dante's moving on and her respect for his obvious love for Samantha.

We finally got our Tracy/Lulu scenes!!!! I swear, when I heard "step-monster" spoken off-screen, it actually sounded like JMB's version of Lulu. AH is a treasure and I've become a quick fan. She has clicked with every single actor she's shared scenes with. Big job even for a veteran.

And because it can't be said enough, JE is truly one of the soap world's all-time greats, and an elegantly lovely woman to boot.

This. I've never been a Felicia fan in any of her iterations, even the current patient-advocate one, but I don't want to see her die. There's been too much death within GH itself, besides recent deaths of actors who used to be on the show. The chapel set with the casket is getting to be as familiar a sight as the hospital set with the nurses' station.

Spinelli has claimed the keyboard-banging part of the operation all for himself. Lucky's role would be to wear disguises and talk in silly accents. Jason's would be beating people up and/or getting in shootouts with them, of course.

I was genuinely surprised the writers had Michael say that. It is rarely, if ever, acknowledged what a crappy childhood he had because of Carly and Sonny being at odds so frequently. I also liked how LW reacted when Carly heard Michael say that. You could see it really took her aback. Too bad the show probably won't follow up on that thread.

He's St. Jasus. She never stopped liking him. It was always just Sonny because her issue was never the mob, it was his split with Carly.  I'd say also that Jason wasn't around when she became mad at Sonny, so he didn't get his share of that, but, let's face it, he still would have been exempt because he's Jason.

So does Dex get a bench now? Or will they just scratch out Oscar’s name and update the existing one.

Oscar had a meadow.  And a rock.

So was Ric advising Elizabeth to stay away from the hospital for her benefit? Meaning, was he giving her good advice, so if someone else is murdered, they can't blame her because she wasn't in/at the hospital?

[dubbel zout]

I wish they'd stop having Tracy treat Sasha so shabbily. It's beneath her.

Lulu doesn't seem to really grasp that time didn't stand still for everyone else the way it did for her. She pays lip service to it, but the interactions with BLQ show she still expects everyone to be the same as when she went into the coma. Dante should give her a reality check on that as well.

Ugh, why do we have to have a Dante/BLQ sekrit history and likely sekrit son? It's so unnecessary.

Ric might be slime, but he knows what he's doing as a lawyer. I hope Elizabeth listens to him.

A knife in the back in the middle of Rice Plaza might not be Sonny's style, but shooting a federal agent point-blank certainly is, Anna. Ever consider that?

At first I thought that was Cyrus lurking in the back pew, but it turned out to be what's-his-face, whoever Carlo Rota is playing. I knew he'd return, and I hope he has Drew in his sights now.

I wondered who the guy was. I was looking down at my phone, so only caught a quick glimpse. So, did Sidwell figure out Holly took one diamond from his bag of rocks or is he just stalking her family for fun? Yawn. (Though I am a little ticked off, hasn't Sasha been thru enough?)

She was the first to comfort him one-on-one. Jason broke the news of Sam's death to Danny and Scout; he comforted the two of them together. Since then, Jason and Danny have only been alone together on-screen in the cemetery after Sam's funeral. Danny called him out on fighting with Drew and thus upsetting Scout because she could see her dad's face was wounded.

As far as I know, Gregory is the only one who ever got a bench and that's because he was a professor/academic and a writer. I believe the intent was that benches are for conversations and deep thoughts.

As much as I'm enjoying AH as Lulu, I wish she was playing the character as a little more thrown by the fact that she's missed out on four years of her life, and the lives of everyone around her.  Yes, Lulu has reacted to the changes in Rocco and the recounting of some of the deaths, but I think we should be hearing more about it.  Everybody got to move on, except her.  They lived their lives, without her.  She should be struggling more with it.  This is where I miss that too-transient writing team, which was so much better at writing meaningful dialogue.

If not that, then I would love for her to start having flashbacks of things said to her while she was in her coma.  

Not sure what to think of Sidwell being in the chapel, especially since Holly has absconded with the jewels he wants.  Will he try to blackmail Sasha over the pregnancy somehow?  But how would he know that it isn't planned?  Unless more happened to her while she was in his captivity. Lucky for him that GH characters tend to pray aloud, so they can spill all of their secrets to lurkers.

I wish that Anna had a friend---say, Felicia---who could confront her on the fact that she's not been acting like herself for many months, and point her in the direction of Kevin.

Hate, hate, hate, hate, hate the idea of a historical dalliance between Brooklyn and Dante, and the idea that Gio might be their son.  Hate it.  

So, before the Lulu-needs-a-transplant story line, I thought Dante was "fine".  Then I thought DZ was playing him brilliantly as the overwhelmed father, partner and ex.  Now I'm wondering if DZ just doesn't have much range.  Either that, or he's chronically depressed and Chase needs to drag him to see Kevin, too.

I took it to be more of a result of Anna not knowing who else to call when Carly didn't answer--and, of course, she has Jason on speed dial.  Still, she could have called Michael, since she didn't know what was going on with him.  Or Portia, as the mother of Joss' best friend, and who was already in the hospital.  But then she wouldn't have had an excuse to call Jason.  

[dubbel zout]

If Jason can fuck the teary guilt out of Anna, I'm all for them hooking up. She's nearly as unbearable in her own way as Drew is in his. I don't want to feel that way about Anna!

I had such high hopes for Nululu but girl is getting to be unbearable.

Also not a fan of Lucky’s childish behaviour. How he behaved with Ric in his capacity as Liz’ lawyer and his arrogance in believing he can quickly clear her was a lot.

Did the writers add the line about him needing a shower because he does IRL or are they trolling us? 🤔 (I know the character said it about skivvy Ric, but still…)

I don't agree with your Drew assessment because no one is unbearable as he is, but I'm right there with you on Jason and Anna hooking up. Please, let's just get this over with. I find it excruciating to watch them, and have Jason reassuring her on everything at every turn. 

So Sidwell's back? Why? I mean seriously. Why? I don't want a campy villain and I suspect this is how Carlo Rota decided to play the character. And GH bungled his introduction with the never ending card games. Can we have a scary villain like Manny?

Shut up, ShrewLu! Didn't take long for me to just write off the character. I could give a rat's ass that she has been 4 years in a coma. She's really juvenile. What she needs is a slap across the face, not grace.

Tracy is always going in hard on Sasha and I'm really not sure why because she seemed to like her enough when she was with Deception, so I'm not sure why she turned on her like that, but I do like that Sasha set up those boundaries. It sucks to watch rich people rail against the "help" just because they can. 

I liked Sonny's scenes with Sasha, then went right back to hating him when he sauntered into Anna's office like he owned the place. Throw him out, Anna. You can do that. I'm assuming she would have wept if she'd done that.

[Melgaypet]

I think Alexa Havins has the chops to play Lulu, but I admit I'm feeling underwhelmed by Lulu's return. I can't decide if I think she's underreacting or overreacting to all the changes that have happened during her coma.

And her going on about that lab-created monstrosity doesn't help. Let her stay gone with Valentin, Lu! This is a win!

What's with Anna saying "Dex refused to press charges against Sonny." If I recall, Dex told Anna about Sonny ordering him to kill Cyrus so they could press charges, but Anna promptly threw the folder in a drawer and told Dex not to do it.

Anna needs to go see Kevin and ask for an extra strength anti-depressant, cuz she is a proper basket case at this point. I think she cried in every conversation she had today! I think she cried when ordering lunch! "My salad was wilted 🥹 but it's MY FAULT!!!!!" 😭

So, I was struck today by the difference in appearance between Lucky and Ric, both once married to Liz.  And it made me wonder, as I have many times before, what generations each of our current characters are supposed to be in. 

I made a little list with my best guesses, although the 30s/40s and 50s/60s might be mixed up, and I'm sure I've forgotten someone crucial.  But I've been struggling to figure out which relationships make sense based on the generations involved, which might be May/December, and which are robbing the cradle.  Just an exercise for me, but I'd love input.  Hard to account for those who have SORASed and those who have stopped aging.

Preteen:  Bailey Lou, James, Wiley, Amelia, Ace, Scout, Leo, Donna, Avery

Teen: Aiden, Rocco, Danny, Georgie, Charlotte

Ditto. And I still don't know what the "bowl" refers to.

Now, if you need someone to explain curling to you, I'm the girl for that. Not that I've curled myself (I have no sense of balance. I'm lucky I can walk.), but I have watched my kid curl who knows how many times.

So you’re not familiar with the Vagisil Bowl?  Or the Ajax Rats & Roaches Bowl?
