Episode Discussion II: The TFGH


Guest

Culture Check: How can we discuss a character's or actor's appearance without objectifying them? How can we express likes or dislikes and still respect an individual's humanity or be mindful that a character represents a person someone else might relate to or identify with?

I was going to do a whole post about how there's no way Heather would be set free even if cobalt poisoning affected her judgment, given she admits to committing the crimes, but then I remembered this is GH. Logic and reality doesn't exist, especially when it comes to legal stories.

Good point, but I thought I'd make a change.

Acknowledging that the vast majority of the characters are played out, it's still super annoying when the show goes to such lengths to keep on a character like Heather, just because Frank falls in love with Ally Mills.

I also thought that Portia seems to be under the impression that everyone should be looking out for her interests in terms of who is in or out of prison, the hospital, and so on.  

This is one of the things I can't stand about Portia. She acts like Trina was Esme's main/only true victim and that Heather presents an on-going threat to Trina's life, whenever she's talking to Laura or whomever. The revenge porn charges were either dropped against Trina, or she was found not guilty (I don't recall). Nina, Maxie and her kids lost a family member when Heather murdered Britt. Brando was also murdered and had family members who mourned. Portia's friend Elizabeth's son's first relationship and losing his virginity will forever be scarred by/tied to the humiliation of PCU classmates seeing the revenge porn. I don't think Portia has even once asked Elizabeth how Cam's doing since he chose to go to college in California. Laura's grandson is presumed dead due to saving Trina and you'd think Portia has completely forgotten that Laura did in fact lose a loved one. Portia's sorry for Trina's pain but she doesn't seem to feel at all bad that a young man "died."
