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?

What struck me mot through all this episode is how insulting it is to Kelly Monaco that they are spending weeks of screentime eulogizing Sam after she was fired. This is what a longtime character like Bobbie should have got when JZ died. Not a character who died because Frank was petty about the actress.

True, although poor Kin Shriner didn't even get a sendoff at all. I think he just probably figured it out when his parking card got deactivated.

It was well done, and I think the Danny actor stepped up his game a bit. I'm actually more interested in how Rocco/Danny/Scout will go forward than anyone else. No offense to Gio, but I think Sam may have preferred they crank up the AC/DC at the end.

LMAO when nuLu awakened and casually rubbed her eyes like one does if they've been staring at the computer too long.

I continue to be impressed with DZ's portrayal of restrained grief, someone who was lost and then found by Sam, who can't afford to be lost again, for the sake of the kids. 

I'd really like to see Dante and the kids all have a good cry together.  The kids would see it's okay to have these feelings and that adults have them as well. To cry with your family would comforting, IMO, especially as the kids are so adamant that they are a family.

I thought he was out because of an injury, no?

Who?

He barely had scenes with her during his last run.

I'm old.  I remember their pseudo-marriage and good friendship.

I expect that to abruptly change when Beyond the Gates premieres and knocks GH even further down in the ratings than it is already. The show is already hemorrhaging viewers and with fresh competition in the 2 pm ET slot, GH will have to do something.

I did not connect the dots before reading your comment, but I WAS noticing that they're adding Black actors, and also giving more prominent SLs to existing Black characters. That's all to the good, but I KNEW there must be a cynical reason for it.

Anyone else think Spencer's ghost was just hanging out at his cousin's funeral for half a sec? Gio really does look like him from certain angles.

I'm a day behind as usual, but of all the people that could have overheard that Jason punched Drew, why Rocco?  What does he care?

And is Drew going to take Scout with him?  I was hoping she could stay with Dante.  I feel like her brothers are better for her than Drew.  Even Jason showed more caring and compassion when telling that Sam died than Drew has since.

Even though Kin always whines about his getting "canned" on social media each time his run is up, Scotty has very much been an off and on character for ages now. He'll be back.

Well, because his dad punched his sister's dad, basically. It's a little awkward for the kids, which even Carly grasped.

No, Rocco’s dad is Dante. Danny’s is Jason, who punched Drew.

Jason's not Rocco's dad.  I would have understood if they had had Danny overhear.

Great arm strength after being in a coma for almost four years, lol.
