Spoilers and Speculation: Clink Boom and Cheese Fondue

[dubbel zout]

Does FV get paid for new characters? I know the writers do when they create them. Given the budget issues, you'd think Frank would be squeezing it from all angles.

[Bwill3133]

All these new characters that come on GH it seems they come on monthly and stay FOREVER. If he's so hell bent on these twin theories,  I wish Georgie had been a twin and they retconned the twin being killed and Georgie still alive. That would be a story in theory I hate but would get over just to have one of my faces back. Heh.

I'm not sure but notice how he will bring on characters like Griffin and Hayden and tie them to long term characters instead of bringing on characters like Sarah,Serena Tommy ect.

[Oracle42]

Do the new characters and recasts outnumber the characters that existed  when RC/FV started? A friend of mine who quit watching a couple years ago happened to catch an episode last week and said she didn't realize it was GH for awhile because she didn't recognize anyone.

I actually think that's part of the reason TIIC keep Sonny&Co front and center, they're the only vaguely recognizable element of the show at this point

When ever I watch, I try to keep a mental list of who pre date FV (actor and/or character) and who doesn't.

[Harmony233]

To be honest with you I forget a lot of the characters on the show like Val and Curtis ect.

[Cheyanne11]

Blech.  Even one day of him and his fawning over Jason, etc, is too much.

At some point I actually looked up which characters were on canvas, and while I don't remember what the pre and post Ron/Frank ratio was, I do remember that there was more newbies than I had realized.

There are more new people (on contract, although some of them feel like recurring at this point) post FV, but to be fair to him, many are recasts and or SORASes and many people have left.

What messes the show up are characters like frigging Nina, who gets a ton of airtime two years later.

Well, Brian Craig as Morgan is the worst SORASing, considering how much more nuanced Aaron Revfrem was. Personally, I don't think he is that good.

We can always hope that some producer decides to make "The Ryan Lochte Story," and BryDog is taken away from GH for the role he was born to play.

For real, best post ever! This is the highlight of my day, even though it resulted in coffee out my nose. OMG, now when I need a laugh, I'm going to picture BryDog with that ridiculous blonde-shit hair, weaving that increasingly-scarier tale of being held up at gunpoint from a moving cab, fleeing the country & leaving his fellow liars to deal with it, coming back home & normalizing his hair again, and strutting around with his "Kiki" by his side (I'm too lazy to look up Lochte's actual gf's name). No joke, he would nail an impression of Lochte. They have strikingly similar personalities, or the lack thereof.

[ulkis]

I'll give him this, Bryan is much smarter than Lochte. No, seriously, he is. Not that that's a high bar, but he's not that dumb.

er, topic, well it's hard to discuss since we barely get spoilers these days.

What do you mean, we barely get spoilers? "Ava overhears a private conversation." "Sonny and Carly make a decision." "Liz sees something she shouldn't." How much more do they have to give away to satisfy you?!

Oracle reminded me in the other thread, every time someone rolls a wedding aisle runner across Sonny's living room all I can think about is them marching right across the spot where Sonny was standing over Dante's shot body.

If Lulu and Dante end up getting re-married in their living room as well, I might be skipping that. Haha, just kidding, that will be off-screen.

Ugh. Why are they getting married at Castle Greyskull? Could Jason maybe give the tiniest fuck that this man murdered his brother?

Jason has barely spent time with any of the people in that room...and neither has Sam. But this is SO like the show to have them so secluded and then BAM...let's have them get married now at Sonny's!

I don't think we've seen "A revelation no one saw coming." or "A twist that will change everything." in awhile.

I want to hear how this gets decided. Does Carly bully Jason into it and Sam doesn't want to fight it? Will Maxie be too involved in her drama to plan Sam's wedding? Will someone get shot?

How it gets decided? You think we'll get scenes longer than 30 seconds with characters talking about a plan and their feelings? Ha. The episode will start one day with Sam walking down the aisle!

or how about Alexis' home at least? Lucas and Brad get married there but Sam picks Sonny's over that? Wha?

[Cheyanne11]

I'll take the stupid wedding at Casa Mobster if they don't play that stupid "theme" music over their vows (which will no doubt include such triteness as "my heart always knew your heart was still beating" and "I'll always accept you for all you are.")

[LeftPhalange]

Considering Jason acts like he's never had relationships with Sonny, Carly, or Michael, why not just get married at fucking Kellys. That place would probably have more significance to him than Sonny's house. This show is THE WORST at acknowledging relationships. It's pathetic, really.

It's baffling how much they botched Jason's return. It's almost like someone was like, "OK, let's bring in a human, call him Jason, that's enough, right?" And Frank was all, "Are we sure Michael Easton can't play him?"

[dubbel zout]

I'm sure that's how Franco happened again.

From what I've heard, Easton played Jason pretty much on OLTL for a decade. He needed a change!

Hell Yeah. Noone asked for his pasty ass back. Jasam getting this big ass wedding makes me wonder if my girl Maxie is going to get her due if her & Nate even make it down the isle. Like her baby, Robin, Emma, Bobbie, Lucas, Her Bio Daddy Frisco being there. Hell a huge surprise like her dead sister coming back alive & walking in the wedding. Greatest gift ever.

At least that wedding was about them.

I like JaSam but them getting married at Sonny's is ridiculous! Jason's had 1 scene with Sonny since they've been back and Sam has had ZERO. I don't think the writers even watch the episodes the week before to know what's going on. Getting married at The MetroCourt would make more sense than Sonny's at this point. Seriously.

All snark aside, what did Mo do to his face?!?

The show is so broke that I honestly wouldn't be surprised if it simply has to do with whatever set happens to be already scheduled to be out and up at that time.

The problem for me isn't that it's in Sonny's house (I wouldn't mind if it were somewhere else, though), it's that it's in Sonny's house even though Jason has had four scenes with Sonny the entire time BM has been on the show. Sam has spent more time with Michael than Jason has and he hasn't interacted all that much with Carly since she told him who he was on the side of the damn road. He doesn't know who these people are so why is he getting married in their house.

[Bwill3133]

I'd vote for " the park" ( that one bench sitting where people walk) I guess that might still be a set. 

[OnceSane]

They should get married at the Qs…and not invite Carly or Sonny.

I'm literally dead.  This is now my dream.  And I will never be able to unsee Morgan as Ryan Lochte again.

Hayden: those diamonds are all I have left of my father!

Elizabeth: oh please.

Hayden: You hypocrite! You lied about Jason!

Er . . . what does that have *anything* to do with Hayden's fake-as-hell reasoning that she wants the diamonds because of her father?

Easton's reaction shot to the slap was funny.

[HeatLifer]

LMAO. ME. Thank you.

[backhometome]

Its really weird that only Hayden calls Liz out for the Jason lie. You certainly dont see Sam/Jason/Carly etc doing it. *sighs* 

[HeatLifer]

The writers would rather Hayden defend the man who nearly got her killed just so Liz/Hayden can snark before they're SISTERZ. 

[Oracle42]

That's because they don't really have any legit issues

Oh my. Aaaaaaaannnnnnnd I died. Laughing. Those millions of dollars of ill gotten gems are ALL I HAVE OF MY DADDY!  Because it isn't like Haychel could go and visit her incarcerated father or anything. But yeah, Easton's reaction was just outstanding!
