Discuss all the happenings in Port Charles here!
Is anyone watching GH or is it just too boring to comment on?
Iāve been watching out of curiosity - to see where the new writers are taking the stories - but itās a slog most days. One or two good scenes per episode isnāt really cutting it, imo.
I havenāt watched GH in eons, but with some casting news and a possible revisit of a pairing I once loved, I may have to tune in again. Sigh.

Hey Wendy, good to see you! I wondered if anyone would migrate here. Iām still watching and some of it is interesting. But for the life of me I canāt figure out what Mulcahy and Korte are trying to do. And since neither of them has given a single interview since taking over, I wondered if they know either? I mean, when was the last time a new regime didnāt provide an overview of their plans? Itās all very strange.
I have no use for Jason or his protecting Carly since sheās her own worst enemy. And while itās nice to see people finally waking up to who and what Sonny is, I canāt abide this Heather redemption story, or Anna confiding in and working with Jason. Jason is just as much a mob guy as Sonny.
Hi yourself, @Sake614 ! waves Great to āseeā you again!
Iād hope that Mulcahey has a plan taking shape. His past writing has always been solid, so I hope that still holds true.
But with network budget tightening and interference and egos involved, who knows what will happenā¦
Itās just really odd that neither Patrick nor Korte have given a single interview to discuss their plans for the show. And now we have the Chalynn wedding this week, which has been the least hyped gent in recent memory. And Iām not even convinced that anyone other than Lois is truly excited about it! Plus we have Brooklynnās cousin and grandfather cast, hopefully just for the wedding.
Soap press isnāt what it used to be, though. Especially since it is basically only online now.
Time will tell how this goes! Itās only been a month or two. I do agree that this wedding is very āmeh!ā as far as the excitement factor goes.
So now Drew is going to run for Congress? He hasnāt announced, has no staff, no campaign platform, no money (other than his own) but heās going to get on the ballot in time for the November election? And of course heāll win because the current congressman is backing him.
Absolutely LOVE that John is keeping tabs on Ava. Too bad he didnāt ask why she met with the pharmacist. But maybe heāll go to the pharmacist instead. He shouldnāt be too difficult to crack.
Havenāt watched in eons. But I read that the actor playing John-formerly-Jagger is good.
I just canāt reconcile him as the same character (based on appearance on my part!) as played by Antonio Sabato, Jr. LOL!
AS jr, canāt hold a candle to Adam Harrington. I did a double take when they said he was Jagger, but AH is so unbelievably hot and a really good actor. It wasnāt long before I was saying āASJ who?ā Lol!

Since I was never really a fan of ASJ, my prior post wasnāt meant as a slam to Adam Harrington! (Just clarifying!) Glad he is doing well in the role!

If he could have done a slight accent, I think AH would have made a halfway decent Jax. Standing next to Carly they have that golden couple look. Not that Jax was missed much when Ingo was let go, but I do think he might make Josslyn a little more tolerable. And he deserves a chance to say āI told you soā to all the PC residents who have finally admitted Sonny is a criminal.

I actually think Charles Mesure (Brennan) would have made a terrific Jax. Heās already an Aussie and he and LW have tons of chemistry!

Well, that was fast: Patrick Mulcahey is OUT as co-head writer. Elizabeth Korte will, for now, be sole head writer.
We can kiss goodbye scenes like Tracy/Gregory today and expect the rapid pace scenes we had before, along with stories that never end and serve no purpose . I mean, why did they even hire him if they didnāt agree with his vision???

Yep. And so much for Alexis and Laneās character. (That, Iām positive, was all Patrick Mulcahey.) Oh, well.
Get ready for a shitload of Carly, Korteās muse.
(Sigh) what makes me laugh (or maybe cry) is all the people who were claiming Korte LOVES GH and has been with the show for sooo long and knows the history! While I have no doubt she knows the history, sheās also quick to ignore and rewrite it when it suits her. I just donāt get why they fired Chris only to immediately rehire him. Unless he was never actually fired? Not even sure I care enough to find out, but I was starting to finally like the show again. Sure there were things that I didnāt like (all the career changes, women taking a back seat (see Sasha), etc. but scenes were longer, dialog was better, characters interacted more. Now everyone will suddenly wake up from their nightmare of thinking Sonny is evil and apologize profusely to him. Laura will welcome his monetary donation as well as his art commission and Anna will fall at his feet while giving him all the information about the FBI investigation. Jagger will be a corrupt FBI agent who is finally exposed by Carly, with Jasonās help. Sonny will apologize to everyone for thinking they betrayed him, he and Jason will kiss and make up and he and Carly will reunite to run the mob together.
And thatās when the curtain will come down for the final time as ABC announces GHās cancellation

So cousin Gio is now on contract. Iām all in favor of beefing up the young adult population on the show but Gio looks 15. I guess heās supposed to be about 20 or so, since Sonny paid for his schooling and music lessons. But will Joss want anything to do with Gio since he thinks Sonny hung the moon?
Now I recall one of the many reasons I stopped watching: The Sonny deification. No, thanks. Sonny is no God or saint. Heās a mobster that should be in - or under - the nearest prison.

Rest in peace, Johnny Wactor [Brando]. The circumstances were so tragic. And so needless.
To die at 37 is just awful beyond measure anytime, but in this fashion, itās even more senseless.
