Episode Discussion: TFGH

[rur]

In the year of the grape, I think there was some explanation that the kids had been out trick-or-treating earlier and that now it was later and the grownup were having a party. We might have seen a kid in costume or one sorting candy, but I think that was about it. 

[TeeVee329]

Ah okay, thanks everybody!

[OnceSane]

Where are Alexis and Molly living? I thought that they were still living with Sam but the way that Sam said that Danny was with Alexis and Molly seemed to imply that they were somewhere else.

I haven't watched yet, but maybe Alexis & Molly took Danny to some Halloween event. I don't think Alexis has a new place yet (though I assume one is coming in the not-too-distant future).

They live there. These writers are horrible with details. Unless I FF'd it, they haven't had Alexis mention rebuilding.

ETA : OnceSane , you know what they say happens when you assume. Also one simple line is all it would have to in order to make your idea plausible. SamTrick had a conversation long enough but Ron wanted to play up their feels & push the kiddie story.

I'm sure the writers just meant for Alexis/Molly/Danny to be around town so Sam had an excuse to go with Patty.

[sometimesfan]

On a more positive note, I thought both KeMo KS looked good today, I missed Maxie and Sam's friendship. 

 

I can't help it, with all the talks of KeMo being lethargic, I don't see it. Today was a good example. 

 

She's sparkly with Jason. It's when she's with Easton she's lethargic.

[Cobalt Stargazer]

This is long the reason why I've said Steve Burton was never that attractive to me--his resemblance to a cigar store indian, with the eyes to go along with it--so seeing this just now made me very happy. :D 

 

I didn't even know if anyone would know what I was talking about, UYI, so you get the Bullet Of Love from me today.

[mybabyaidan]

I do think KeMo seems lethargic a great deal of the time, but I agree she was cute today. I think when the actors mix it up a bit with different characters, like Sam did today with Patrick/Maxie/Britt/Nik/Lucas - it revitalizes them a bit.

 

Reminds me that this is the first scene Sam and Maxie have shared in FOREVER.  I miss their friendship.  A lot.  And KeMo and KSt are good friends off screen, so their on screen friend chemistry was always cute.  More of that please.  And more Lucas/Sam sibling bonding please.  I sometimes forget they are related. 

[sometimesfan]

I am so ready for Spencer to be gone or recast. He looked like the trusty sidekick today to Child of the Corn Joss. On the other hand that little actress impresses me. She fits the part even though I am more than likely influenced by her uncanny resemblance to a one time friend of my daughter's. Years ago when they both had the same doll the Joss lookalike used a Sharpie permanent marker to write my daughter's name on her doll's forehead to tell the difference. I guess it made some sort of sick sense at the time, but it was my daughter's doll that was forever marked. Every time Joss makes a snappy comeback I think of that girl.

 

As for Beggar's Night, there was a time in my very distant past when we were living in Southern Indiana for a few years. My girls were quite young then, and it was the first time I had ever heard of it. There were 2 nights for trick or treating which the kids loved. More candy!  The first night was just an additional night to beg for candy. 

[backhometome]

Sam seems more sparkly without Silas bogging her down. 

 

KeMo did look especially pretty today.

I know! I wanted moooore. Every scene lasts .02 seconds. So lameballs.

I am ready for Spencer to be shipped off to boarding school. He can come back looking like a supermodel, l when he is at a age that I can lust after him without it being creepy.

 

I'm sure the writers just meant for Alexis/Molly/Danny to be around town so Sam had an excuse to go with Patty.

 

I agree that they've just stepped out. They didn't have to be for Sam to go with Patrick though. I actually wished Danny was there in his custom, but the way he looked like he is ready to murder Sam the last time we saw them together, maybe it is a good thing he is with Alexis and Molly instead of with Sam.

If it gets me a Britt scene not involving him in some way, I'll pitch in for his tuition.

[dubbel zout]

For a while, we were thinking that Alexis might move into the brownstone, but nothing seems to be happening along those lines. Michael needs to make a surprise visit to see what's going on with the renovation and stumble across Ava hiding there.

[Mrs OldManBalls]

No, Sabrina dressed up like grapes in 2012. I forget what the kids did last year.

Electra Woman and Dyna Girl. 

 

Maxie's hair was very cute today! And It's always nice to see Diane.

Hahaha. Danny freaks me out.

[Fellaway]

Oh, Sonny.  You don't want what's best for Carly.  You want what you want, regardless if it's best for Carly, your kids, or anyone not you.  It's your defining characteristic.  'Bout time you owned it.

[dubbel zout]

Sonny is all id.

[Lillybee]

I was thinking about Dr. O. being pissed because Nujason doesn't have insurance. Wouldn't Jordan's insurance be responsible?

[sacrebleu]

Great, more of Spencer making "townie" jokes. Because if a punchline is funny once, it will be funny a few dozen times. 

 

The only upside of having Jakeson at the hospital is that at least we get hospital scenes. (I think this is one of those tricky, everything you wished for in the worst possible way type scenarios)

[UYI]

I've been on the barge for a long while now, but since I still catch up here, I still don't completely understand (or can't remember) what a "townie" is. I know Gilmore Girls, a show I didn't watch, had them, but that's it. 

[TeeVee329]

It's basically a synonym for poor/working class/not of royalty like Spencer.

[dubbel zout]

SHUT UP, Spencer. UGH.

 

Of course Carly has no idea where her daughter is. And you'd think by this point she'd know what Beggar's Night is. She isn't a newcomer to Port Charles.

 

I love that Sonny's pea brain can't comprehend that Franco and Heather aren't mortal enemies. I don't know why it hasn't occurred to Sonny to crash the wedding and be the one who has objections when it comes to that point in the ceremony.

Spencer is only half-royal. SWSNBN wasn't exactly from the upper crust. Ugh, he's so obnoxious.

Also, I looked it up because these are the kind of details I live for, and Billy Miller is thirty-five years old. Steve Burton is only nine years older, so I'm not sure I understand all this talk about how Miller's Jason looks so young. Maybe it's all the smiling?

I think a decade older is pretty significant, and BM does look younger than SBu.  

 

No-my issue is, that every stinking version of Jason, including this one-is just SO boring to me.

Which is why I'm okay with "Lake". I call it containing the suck. Much easier to skip through two boring people paired together, than two separate sl's with those same people.

As a Jason Morgan fan, I loved SBu's Jason, and I miss him.  BM is just not Jason, but you bring up a good point.  Jake and Liz ARE boring, and so it is easier to FF them as a single unit than two separate characters.  So that is a plus.  

 

I mean, I think 9 years is a pretty big difference when taking on another role on tv that's been played by one man for decades, especially when it's a soap and the generations of characters are so close together and the dynamics between characters can be quickly changed if one character is recast with an actor who is significantly older or younger. Like Michael spouting the "he was like a big brother stuff" to me the other day. I think BM can still play the father figure to Michael, especially with CD looking so young, but imo they were clearly throwing that out that there just in case Michael and Jason looked much closer in age than they did before.

I'm not so sure BM can play the father figure to Michael.  He's got a baby face, and I need BM out of the wheelchair to see if CD really towers over him.  I think the scenes with Michael and Jake were good, but it's weird that Michael has more of Jason's characteristics than the guy who is suppose to be playing him.

 

Ron is trying to have his cake and eat it too with regards to Jason/Jake. He wants the history along with the loyal fans of legacy character without writing for that character. Jason is NOT Jason Morgan or Jason Q. Hell, he is not even called Jason, he gave the guy a brand new name. The only reason we talk about Jake as Jason is because we have been told he is Jason. Absolutely nothing on screen points to him being Jason. Not even the person with Robin. This John Does person could be a total stranger and Jason got away somehow. The window of opportunity is there to undo this Jake is Jason fuckery but NOT as another legacy character. It'll be the SSDD.

 

The resentment I feel is not because I like Jason Morgan or Q, who I thought was as bland as Jason Morgan anyway, I hate that RC is basically stealing an old character to front his own creation. Instead of being a man and creating his own characters from scratch, he steals the name of GH legacy character and attaches it to a brand new character. If you are going use a legacy character, even if they were the devil, you should keep the integrity of said characters. 

 

What is he doing is at worst thieving, and best pure laziness. Not to mention manipulative in that the investment is already there with viewers. Much as I loathe him, Jason was a very popular character and was one half of 3 very popular pairings. R&J fans are already invested in this story, even if it is to have Jason acknowledge Robin's role in bringing him back, Jizzers are jizzing every fucking where. Soon Jasam fans will join the fray. Why any of these fractions GAF about this newbie character where their original couple is concern is beyond me, it couldn't be any clearer that the Jake character is not Jason Morgan.  But that investment is what RC wants to take advantage, he has been successful as far as Jizzers are concerned. He has zero interest in the Jason character himself. 

This is so well stated, and that is exactly what RC has done. It is soap theivery.  He wants all the character history, relationships, and storylines that Jason Q and Jason Morgan has, but he wants to have his creation do wacky things that Ron LOVES so much.  So he slaps the name Jason onto him, but writes the character to be someone completely different.  Remember Franco?  He was suppose to be Jason's twin in order for Franco to inherit the history of the Quartermaines, but he still wanted RH to be able to do his schtick.  Remember how well that went over?  It's amazing to me how often RC makes the same.mistakes.over.and.over again.

I can hardly remember a damn thing that happened today now, I'm guessing that's a good thing.

 

Michael and Jakson had the exact kind of stupid ass run in as I figured they would so nothing surprising happened there. It just gets worse by the day, it really does.

 

The SERIAL KILLER crashed at his "daddy's" place and hijinks were had, he found out he had a brother and brought up torturing and nearly killing Lulu as if he was talking about what movie he saw on the weekend. He's a disgusting troll and Scott needs to do a damn DNA test already. Why the hell is he just taking the bat shit crazy psycho's word that he fathered that freak of nature?

 

Maxie and Nathan bore me to death.

 

I can't even with Spencer, he's intolerable.

 

Sam and Patrick are too inane for words and so were their costumes.

 

What kind of she-hulk power up slap did the Nina give her mother in the previews? I hope she slaps her ass right back.

[jsbt]

See, I just thought Jason Morgan from about 2002-on was nothing but a brainless, remorseless psychotic killer, so I just have absolutely no affection for him, and no desire to ever see Steve Burton on the show again, though I suspect one day he will come crawling back. That's why, for me, I have zero qualms about them eviscerating the character. It's not a fraction of what they did to the entire show to support the Jason character and (IMO, whether he cosigned it or not) Burton's ego. You get what you give.

Why are the robes at the Metrocourt so creepy and ugly.  They look like stained vestments from a playboy sex cult.

[kristabell]

"Town and gown" are the two populations of a university town, with the "townies" being the normal folk and the connotation that they are unworldly/lacking in intelligence/low class/ etc

[Turtle]

I sort of didn't mind the Franco and Scotty scenes too much.  Them in robes, sitting on the bed with champagne, really cracked me up.  But I'm running a fever.

 

I remain convinced that this Jake character remembers more than he's letting on.  At least, it looks to me like the character is playing it that way. 

 

Sonny?  I would like to stab you in the eyes with a fork, cut off 7 of your fingers joint by joint with a dull serrated knife, slice both achilles' heels, eviscerate you, and then make you eat your own intestines.   

I know I'm in the minority here, but I like some of the kid stuff.  But I totally get why people don't like it, especially when they're on too much.  And y'all know I enjoy Spencer, little shit that he is.  I don't mind being the sole supporter of that spoiled brat, though. 

 

I hope those Michael/ Jake moments about how much Carly loves Michael are setting us up for how devastated and furious he's going to be in a couple of days.  I hope Morgan helps Michael to express his rage at both Carly and Sonny, because a pissed off Morgan can bring it. 

 

Do we have a thread for a GH drinking game?

 

If you set one up, I will participate regularly.  With my box(es) of wine.

 

Sonny is all id.

 

Oh, come on, that's not fair!  He's at least part idiot.

For me at least, Liz and Jason or Jake or Jack in the Box don't HAVE TO BE boring. It's the writing. I found the last few years of Jason and Sam beyond boring. Surely somewhere, somebody had a drinking game for each time Sam droned "Jay-Son." I turned off the two of them more times than I watched them. They just bored me to tears. A good writer, and who am I kidding here? Ron is a terrible writer, but a good writer could write a good story for Jakeson and Liz. These writers are just lazy.

I didn't have a problem with Jason and Sam until RC brought over the OLTL actors and just pushed all GH characters to the sidelines and starting writing Jason and Sam completely out of character.  As for Jake and Liz, I don't care if they end up together since I'm not seeing Jason.  Now if it were SBu's Jason, then no, I wouldn't want Jason with Liz.  That story had been done to death, and Jason had chosen Sam.  So to try and redo it AGAIN when the writers went to the Liason well so many times and it always failed, it would have been redundant.  Watching Jake flirt and be cutesy with Liz is bizarre because Jason was not flirty, but also because he does have a wife and son waiting for him.  Why isn't Jakeson even curious about his other life?  He's too comfortable, imo.  My guess is that RC wants to rewrite everything about Jason, in which case he's not Jason anymore.  Just call him Jake, admit that RC created a new character and favorite toy, and just make a mockery of GH history.  It's not like he hasn't done it before.  Every once in a while he'll bring out an old GH legacy character like Lord Ashton just to show the audience "See, I know GH history," when he really, really doesn't.

I dunno. I still don't think this is how Jason is going to stay and I think Liason is a smokescreen. Until proven otherwise, I do think this will have an inevitable JaSam reunion. The story means zilch if Jason loves Liz and is all, "F my family!!"

The writers are SO lazy. Everyone has the same convo in every show. Sam/Patrick literally exchange the exact same dialogue/flirting mechanisms.

That would involve talking about SWSNBN and the show's doing too much of that already.  We need to go back to pretending she never existed.

[Harmony233]

something that annoys me on soaps in general but today when scott was telling Franco about logan he said he would be francos half brother why does it matter if there half lol.I mean serena and Karen it was never mentioned they was half  sisters they was just treated like sisters.

[TeeVee329]

Stray thoughts:

 

1) When Spencer was whining to Nikolas that he's never lost the love of his life, I was shocked that the scene didn't cut to Liz or, I dunno, a picture of SWSNBN.  Poor Britt.

 

2) When Maxie and Nathan finally get together but before Britt and Nikolas go bust, I kinda want them and Lucas/Brad to go out on a triple date.

 

3) Nikolas and Britt watching "Beetlejuice" just reminded me how much more I liked them the first go-around last year and the weird alliance they formed with Robin when they were under Faison and Obrecht's thumb.

I was no Nem fan but geeze I think losing the woman you love through death is worse than spencers ridclous whining over losing an 8 year old lol.

[Cattitude]

BM looks extra young lately. He didn't look this young at the end on Y&R makes me think maybe he has some botox.

 

I really liked Jakson and Michael, but for heaven's sake can we get Michael out of that annoying boyband shirt. I have always thought GH does a good job making people who are related look alike(Franco and Scottie aside). I can see Jakeson as Michael's uncle.

What is Ron's affection for that wheelchair? I swear Nina gets out of that damn thing one day just for Jakson to be stuck in it. sheesh.

 

Maxie's hair was so cute and my det. Special Kitty...MEOW! just adorable. Those scenes with Diane were cute.

 

I truely disliked Sonny myself in those crypt scenes with Michael, but I gotta say that phone call with Carly was sweet. I just really like them together.

 

And I agree with those who say those MetroCourt robes are hidious. Like some sleezey uncle's velor tracksuit and WTH do they have hoods?

[WendyCR72]

I hated Nem, so when Emily croaked, no skin off my nose! But, yeah, Spencer can STFU. That kid is a reason why birth control is a Godsend. Sorry, Spencer, but you're as tedious as the man with the same surname (looking at YOU, Luke!) you're inexplicably named after.

I do think KeMo seems lethargic a great deal of the time, but I agree she was cute today. I think when the actors mix it up a bit with different characters, like Sam did today with Patrick/Maxie/Britt/Nik/Lucas - it revitalizes them a bit.

 

She was probably excited that Tyler was there, didn't she say she'd lock him up in a basement once? Heh.

 

Bad, bad episode. The Scotty/Franco scenes were gross, creepy, and offensive. Oh hahahaha, remember that time I strapped Lulu to a bomb? Hilarious. Disgusting freak.

 

The kids' stuff is bad I know, but I really like the Joss actress - HN? Early on in the hour I was ready to write her as an Ava Jr., ready to intern and take no prisoners. But that hug at the end with Carly, awww.

 

Also liked Diane's lines, CH has a great delivery both with anything law related and gossip related.

 

Disappointed they didn't do more with Saxie when we had them right there. Bah.

[jsbt]

I thought Jason and Sam were the most boring, comatose pairing on the face of the Earth and highlighted both actors' worst habits. But I really had no investment in anything Jason after the '90s. I think they should honor his relationship with Sam and his son, play that conflict - his being torn, but more torn between these two different worlds both Jasons once inhabited. He should always be connected to these people, but he can't be that killer anymore. He needs to recognize what Sonny did to him, what was done to his family, to A.J., to Michael, etc. What he did.

 

Billy Miller's Jason, so far, is playing as even and cool-headed with Carly and Michael as Jason used to be, which is good - I like him with both actors. But I think he can and should move away from that mob life and the previous relationships he had with Sonny, Carly, etc. I just fear they won't go far enough when he remembers.

[Ambrosefolly]

Bad, bad episode. The Scotty/Franco scenes were gross, creepy, and offensive. Oh hahahaha, remember that time I strapped Lulu to a bomb? Hilarious. Disgusting freak.

 

They have no chem as father and son. All Franco reminds me about how much better Logan/Scotty were, as little focus they got (in favor of Guza's shiny new toys, the Zaccharas). For whatever reason, Jane Elliot and Wally Kurth can make their parent child relationship work, maybe because Wally Kurth was cast as her already established son and saddling Scott with Franco was done in order to make Franco happen. 

 

I hope he didn't let Logan's death go not for Laura's sake, but for his remaining children's sake. Even if it was in self defense, Lulu and Maxie weren't completely innocent in how they used Logan to get revenge on each other/fight feelings for the new bad boy. 

[TheGourmez]

I really have zero interest in whether they are honoring Jason Morgan. Jason Morgan should have been dead years ago. The further they can take Jason away from that iteration of the character the happier I am. And I think Billy Miller is doing fine.

 

 

Jason Morgan, no, but Jason Quartermaine?  RC, you bring back Jason Quartermaine and have the loathsome brain-damaged hitman be gone forever, and I will not say mean things about you for an entire week.  Maybe even a week and a half.

 

I am so very okay with Billy Miller's Jason Quartermaine so far. He's a living, breathing person, but he surprisingly still connected with Carly in the ways she depends on Jason too. He's a hybrid, really, and I cannot wait until he finds out that he's (a) Jason and (b) a hitman. I don't think this Jason hybrid will enjoy that revelation. He may still be even-handed in dealing with life, but ruthlessly supporting only those he's loyal to? I think that's long gone. Thank the good Lord of soaps. I think he'll be horrified that all these people waxing poetic about Jason have left that detail out. If he learns he's Jason not that long after Michael rejects his parents? Oh, I can't imagine a better day of reckoning for this show.

 

Franco and Nina are BFFs 4eva, and I like them together. I just don't like either of them with anyone else.

 

I have absolutely no memory of Lord Ashton the character, but the actor looks way better onscreen than he did in person. Good job, make-up, etc! I'm pretty sure he hadn't been invited back around the time of the GHFCW, so this is a pleasant surprise. Nice guy!

but he can't be that killer anymore

 

 

 

Sure he can and I don't think Ron brought Jason back to do some complete makeover on him character wise, he'll write whatever he thinks will make people like Billy as the recast. Regardless of being Sonny's puppy dog hit man and a killer Jason was still a highly popular character when Steve took off, he decided to leave because the show wouldn't play hardball, it had nothing to do with whether or not the audience had gotten very sick of Jason and his mobster ways.

 

Frankly I think it's too late for an overhaul on Jason to the point where he suddenly has some sparkly brand new personality that somehow could whitewash the past 15 or so years, or should I say I think it's pointless.

 

Ron goes for the dramatic and shocking but he never keeps it up, things end up as they once were as soon as he loses interest or finds some new pet to fawn over, it's all wash, rinse, and repeat with him. He's pushed Carly and Sonny as much to the forefront of the show as they've ever been in recent memory, Jason is going to be re-glued to their asses one way or another especially if he's going to have as much screen time.

 

And really therein lies my biggest issue with bringing Jason back which is that he gets to eat the show again. Why should I care if he's back or who he's hooking or not hooking up with or if his memory is or isn't intact? When I can't even get Tracy written with a functioning brain or Mac doing more then feeding people ribs every other month? And instead of having AJ to at least counter the Jason effect in some way, he's dead and Jason is poised to slip right back into his "golden boy" status of old.

 

All this energy and time and writing is being lavished on the guy with so much brain damage his brain should be nothing but a scab at this point, while so many other deserving vets and classic characters just languish with no end in sight, it's utter bullshit.

 

For two decades this character has had an unholy grip on this show and once again he's back at it, if things aren't revolving around Sonny and Carly and the SERIAL KILLER then it's the Jason show, the very idea that these four characters are such huge driving forces behind the direction/s the show is taking right now is just disgusting to me.

 

Watching Michael and Jakson interacting just reminded me of how much it all won't matter in the end, nothing has or can or will ever change. Michael isn't going to free himself from all the dysfunction anymore so then Jake as Jason will.

[TeeVee329]

The Scotty/Franco scenes were gross, creepy, and offensive.

 

I actually have (GASP) one positive thing to say about these scenes.  Based on the spoilers, it sounded like Scotty was going to actively go out of his way to throw Franco a bachelor party.  So I was happy that Franco just showed up unannounced and Scotty was at least initially annoyed he was stuck with him.
