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?

OMG that heart attack was the funniest thing I’ve ever seen. MB clutching his stomach? Did he have a tummy ache? Lol! And when we came back to that scene, it’s like the director said ‘Mo, your heart is in your chest, not your stomach!’ Anyway, I guess we’re going to have another ‘withhold heart medication’ story. 

Damn Carly’s hair looked good after spending a night or two in the hospital. Does GH have hairstylists on staff now?

elizabeth really should mine her own business before she gets caught up in Portia’s legal troubles. And Ric shouldn’t be talking to her at ALL about it.

I really liked the Maxie/Lucas scenes. They’re fun together.

Wait, what? How did I miss that?

The implication is that it Vaughn. Not sure I’m buying it.

No, it shouldn't matter that he lost his home but it does.  The LA fires were a horrific event. That of all the actors on this show, GH would choose to get rid of the guy who lost his home to those fires shows an appalling lack of heart and compassion. Sure, this is a business, but the show has chosen to take an incredibly popular actor and written his character in a vile way, and incredibly OOC from the inception of Drew. This was their choice.

And the optics of potentially choosing to fire the one actor in their cast--when they have so much dead weight--who lost his home in the LA fires will likely get PR. And not of the good kind. And GH most assuredly does not need that right now. Especially with BTG doing as it is.

Because, again, this is a business.

I agree with you except I don't find him hot.  But yeah, I would not want to see him fired.  Maybe he can be poisoned but survives, and there's a big who failed to poison Drew storyline.

He won’t suffer if he’s not on GH. He’s got his hallmark movies and a game show, both of which likely pay more than GH.

He's not on Hallmark anymore though.  He left for that startup competitor, is it GAF?  Great American Family I think.  Not my cup of tea, but anyway, he's not at Hallmark.

You beat me to it, @Sake614! I could not stop laughing my ass off.

And Frank, Korte and other hacks must think long time viewers who are still watching are stupid or have short memories! The OG Edward and Tracy scenes of her holding back his heart meds is EONS better than the farce that was on my screen yesterday.

And it's still incredibly offensive that Show is suddenly telling us that Ava is flat broke-that she wasn't already wealthy BEFORE she married and divorced Nik. And of course the tone-deafness of the show itself-like only wealthy mothers are allowed to have custody-that there aren't millions of mothers from poverty to middle class, but that's another rant for another time.

Me either.

And Not!Brennan( just like Cameron's Drew), has ruined the charming Aussie Charles Mesure's original Brennan. Who is this pathetic person? And his constant reference to Valentin as "Old Friend" is beyond grating.

Good Lord. You mean to tell me in Show time, only one DAY has passed since Lucky woke up? And that was like, what? A month ago? It's the Black and White Ball Time Passing all over again!

An NuNuLooLoo can also STFU. The reason she has Charlotte back is BECAUSE Valentin texted Rocco, pretending to be Charlotte! HE brought her back to her whiny ass. And gee, she won't listen to Anna, but Alexis, sure, why not? That guilt over Sam's death is more convincing.

Despite hating all the HIPAA and client/attorney privilege violations, I'm loving Elizabeth/Lucas and I hope Lucky also joining in, working together to find out what's going on.

I swear, this show is so fucking cheap, they can't bother to even put "almost killed by poison" make up on Laura Wright. Just like Willow with all her make-up during her chemo treatments. At least they did justice with Leslie Charleson/Monica's breast cancer and Nancy/Alexis' (with her losing her hair) when she had lung cancer. Would applying make-up really go over Frank's budget? 

And Cujo might as well have had food poisoning with how fresh she looked. She was already screaming like a banshee/harpy in her scenes with Jason. I just can't help but compare how utterly ILL and SICK Luke looked when he was being poisoned and didn't know it; or how Sean looked when they all went to Ireland because he had the last of the antidote.
