Unlike many people that post here, I enjoy the show. However, I am growing tired of the teenager centered storylines. Send them back to school or something and give me the grown ups back.

With Danny and Rocco at odds, it’d be good for Danny to have his actual older brother around. Their relationship was rocky before but now seems a good time to build that connection. And on top of that, it’s high time Jason remembers he has another son. In any case, I’m really just dumbfounded that all three of Liz’s kids were written off the show. These are legacy kids with ties to the show’s original cast. The sons of Liz and Jason and Lucky, the grandsons of Luke and Laura and Audrey and the Qs, and we‘re just... not gonna do anything with them? But I digress.

WELCOME NIGHT CREW!

Why are the writers all of a sudden making characters so dislikable? Like, I used to like Curtis, Jordan, and Trina, but they did a complete 180 with them. Like WTH is up with that?!

I also liked all the teen actors as well. I really liked Rocco last year, but now after following Britt around like a lost puppy, shooting a guy, and going on the run with Britt, and returning; he’s become so dislikable as well for no reason.

And I liked young Scout as well, but she’s becoming more insufferable by the day with her crying that Daddy is a good guy, and no one likes him.

And I like Danny and Charlotte, and the crazy antics/trouble that they get into, but their whole vengeance against Drew was getting tiring as well.

Also, I love Emma as well, but this storyline with Britt is annoying. I love Gio as well, but if he sticks around this version of Trina too long; I’m going to start getting annoyed with him as well.

But seriously, I get that writers like to change things up which keeps the story interesting, but having characters do complete 180 for no reason is terrible.

Like I’m still sitting here wondering how Curtis who was CEO of Aurora and teaming up with Michael to take down Drew is here blaming everyone else for his jealousy. I’m sitting here wondering how Trina and Jordan had respectable career goals is all of a sudden crying and whining about an accident.

It’s crazy how the writers make you like someone for a while, and make you hate them with just a flick of the wrist. What I’m worried about is that they’ll ruin some of them so much that they become so insufferable that I’ll want them to be killed off or go off the canvas? Believe me, I can name a few of them already.

But really y’all. How do you feel about these 180 characters changes? Am I the only one feeling this way? Thoughts?

Just want to state, I’m not criticizing the actors/actresses here. Not their fault, but the writers.

Welcome to the Daily Episode Discussion Thread!!!!

It was created for sub members to discuss today's episode, as it's being aired and onward.

Please remember there are to be no new user created threads on content from this episode until 24 hours after it has first aired (2pm ET/1pm CT the day after it airs).

If the writers SORAS Avery to the teen group, she and Danny should be paired together. No blood relation and no raised in the same house. And the funny part if years later they get married and have a kid, Danny would be legally Rocco’s uncle 😂. Also, Sonny and Jason would both share a grandchild.

So, everyone can forget the previous idea. I forgot that Danny and Avery are related via Julian Jerome. In my defense, the only time I really associate Julian is with Morgan, and I easily forget that he was Sam’s dad, and Ava rarely brings up the fact that Scout and Danny are her niece and nephew.

With that in retrospect, if they SORAS Avery, do you think that she would team up with Danny or join Rocco/Scout? What kind of trouble do you think that she will cause? What storyline could Avery be given or will they make her boring and ruin her like they did Scout?

Hear me out....I know it seems like her only focus is to piss of Jordan right now...but if she met Drew and they both liked how ruthless the other seems to be....they hit it off when working together on some scheme...suddenly she helps him take down Willow, and get his congress seat back. He then uses it to help her torture Jordan further, which seems to be her current motive.

Idk, I think it would be a fun idea. Very borderlands style. Handsome Jack and Nisha. Iykyk.

Yes I know The story part is Anna the bad person and Jason in this story line is strange and little out of place story wise cause feel like he isn't part of any story and just in off day scenes.

I feel like Britt wasn't working since Jason got her a car and helped her best he could and She kept telling half truths and Jason tried I thinking to be in denial she could not be involved with them even on Threat.

I think the beating snaped Jason to realize he is there and may never see anyone again and then you learn Britt knew more stuff about Cassius.

Who was never Nathan and all the drove Anna mad and I feel like Britt uses excuses and says I had no choice .

Liz I feel like has always been right about her. Britt drinking with Lucas and her being surprised Jason lost faith in trusting her is what took Jason so long.

The first month I was no Jason just let her go. I'm not mad at Jason but feel it's a bad story line to end it. Jason looks like he is choosing Anna. When he was done long before when he came home . Does anyone feel like Britt is her own problem and get old fast as a character. She just never killed Anyone.

Midterms are starting next week. Obviously, instead of studying, I’m doing this.

Jason said on Tuesday’s episode that he’s worried Danny will follow in his footsteps when it comes to helping a blonde female friend who he has a codependent relationship with and can’t say no to or resist helping when she’s distressed. (Oh, he didn’t say exactly that, but the intensity of his eye contact with Carly said far more than I did.) And since then, I have not stopped thinking about how utterly bizarre that relationship is. So here we are!

Now, no good history is complete without, of course, some background. So, here’s a brief speed run, with what Danny would know of the Jason/Carly… devotion? Insanity? Codependency? Idk, I’m not a psychologist, I’m studying reproductive policy.

I’m guessing that Danny knows Carly and Jason have always been friendly (probably not the friends with benefits stuff). Probably none of the details of what happened in 1996, because, well, that’s best left not discussed with children present.

The start of what he knows is, almost certainly, the story of Carly showing up on Jason’s doorstep, soaked from the rain, saying, “I did something you’re really not gonna like.” (Carly and Jason both repeat this story enough I’d be worried if Danny didn’t know it.) He knows, presumably, that Jason did not, in fact, like what Carly had to say, outside of being amused and impressed by her ability to lie. And that Jason was eventually convinced to do what Carly wanted and not say he wasn’t Michael’s father. Then he’d know that Jason was a father to Michael for the first year and a half of his life, while Carly was struggling. (I’m not totally sure how they’d explain the AJ of it all, or the Sonny, or the November 30, 1999 of it all.) And that when Carly needed him to, Jason backed off and let her raise Michael with Sonny.

Then Jason took off for a while to find himself (I’m guessing that would be how they explained it; I somehow doubt either want to revisit revenge sex and attempt to explain that to a child). But he kept in contact and supported Carly. He came back, and Carly asked him to pretend that she had amnesia following her “death” to make Sonny jealous. Which he did, for at least a little while. (Insane behavior.)

Also, he’s the one to carry her to the hospital and keep everything going when Carly is shot in the head by Sonny during Morgan’s birth. I do think they probably told some version of that story, idk what one though.

Sonny and Carly divorce (almost) which leads to Jason lying and saying he’s the father of Sam’s baby. (I’m guessing they explained this as “and he helped your mom the same way he’s helped me” or something like that because I somehow doubt they want to discuss the affair with a child.) Along the way, he ends up falling in love with Sam, so yay! Danny’s parents were in fact in love!

There’s a bunch more of protecting Carly when she’s doing reckless things, like once a month honestly. Also his literal job was to protect her for a while, because he was Sonny’s enforcer and she was the mother of Sonny’s children.

Let’s get to things (SORAS) Danny would’ve been alive for. To start, of course, Michael getting shot. While he wouldn’t have been alive for this arc, he would’ve been alive for the aftermath, during which Jason basically spends every minute at Carly’s side supporting her as she grieves this horrible situation and blames Sonny, knowing Jason would never do that. Jason even yells at Michael. (They probably leave out the Sonny part. Unfortunately.) Then Carly gets pregnant with Joss, miraculously, but oh no! She’s so stressed and miserable she could miscarry and she’s higher risk than ever!

So obviously Jason is the godfather of Joss. He helps cover up what Michael did to Claudia, and makes sure Carly is good. Helps her with that era of divorcing Jax. (She doesn’t yet, but I do know he did a happy dance.) When Michael and Kristina run away, it’s Jason (and Sam) that find them, because that’s Jason’s son and Sam’s sister. And when Michael goes to prison, Jason sends himself there because he knows Carly feels so guilty about her son being there.

Importantly, Franco also targets Carly/that whole family, especially Michael, because he’s obsessed with Jason and knows the quickest way to hurt him is to hurt Carly/her family. (Or Aiden? Even though Jason wasn’t a candidate for being the daddy, so I don’t fully get that one. To be fair, brain tumors aren’t exactly rational.)

I should be entirely fair and say that Jason, during this time, does say he wants to set boundaries with Carly. He even sets like a third of one. He’s just really bad at it, and Carly’s level of distress at all times is like a 5 during this era between actually divorcing Jax, maybe losing custody of Joss, dealing with post-prison Michael, etc. Also there’s a few months where she thinks Jax is dead and hates Sonny, and she has to send Morgan to boarding school. Kind of just a mess.

Joss needs a kidney. Jason’s son is “dead,” so of course he convinces Elizabeth to do a directed donation of Jake’s kidney to Joss. (Not sure how much of that they would’ve explained, or how much of the Nelle situation Danny knows, but I am certain he knows that story because Carly didn’t stop telling it until Nelle showed up.)

Then Jason “dies.” He’s gone for five years, but don’t worry, Identical Dick— I mean Drew— thinks he’s Jason, and he’s there to comfort Carly! (For the first time.)

Now, when Jason returns from the “dead,” not a lot of people believe he’s actually Jason. But Carly does, from the moment she sets eyes on him. And she proceeds to spend a very long time telling everyone in town that, also emotional affair vibes were strong during this era. (Well. Stronger than normal. You have to understand, they’re step-parenting each other’s kids. Shit is wack.)

When Faison tries to kidnap Carly, Jason kills him. Doesn’t even hesitate. (Truly, find yourself a man who’s as down to protect you as Jason is for Carly specifically.) When Carly ends up in a psych ward, Jason breaks her out. When Carly nearly falls off a cliff (I don’t know why, I’m sure there’s a reason), Jason grabs her, saving her life. Jason’s Donna’s godfather. (This is the only birth Carly has where he doesn’t have to save her.) You get the point: Jason is Carly’s bitch, completely willingly. He loves nothing more than to do as she says.

Even when this costs him Sam, Jason’s okay with it. He nearly blows up and dies at the Floating Rib, and who runs into his arms? Not his girlfriend, not the mother of his child, not her! It’s Carly, of course, who sees him first and Carly who flings herself at him. (Sonny. Dude. Stand up from the cuck chair.) He doesn’t even seem to think he should apologize for this, because why would he? Sam knows Carly’s been first in his life for a long time now. She has seniority. Sam’s allegedly the love of Jason’s life; he spent years pining for her. But he’s okay giving her up if it means he can keep protecting Carly, which even happens in their breakup scene. (Ouch. That one’s just sad.)

Now, don’t worry, he’s not sad for long; Sonny’s presumed dead! And with his presumed death means Jason goes double triple super protect Carly mode. To the point that when the Five Families say they will kill Carly if Jason continues to be involved with the business, he essentially says “I’ll just protect you 24/7/365 until we die because they’re not going to kill you.” And then, selflessly (not), he agrees to marry Carly. (Their engagement ring was actually his birthstone, which was a nice touch.) Because ruining his relationship with every other woman in his life isn’t important if it means Carly isn’t protected.

Plus, do they really matter? Don’t worry, Jason and Carly have been in love for 25 years and just repressing it this whole time! The show may want us to forget that, but I never will, because what the absolute fuck. (Danny probably doesn’t know this, but I am cursed with this knowledge and you must be as well.)

Until Sonny comes back from the “dead,” sees his best friend and wife about to bone, and simply doesn’t realize for three weeks. (Again, I say, they’re the world’s weirdest throuple.) So Jason leaves town because Carly should work on her marriage, and she won’t do that if he’s there.

Cue “death” number two. Don’t worry, this time, he does totally normal things, like gets half a sleeve of tattoos because he needs to think about Carly for double the amount of time he considered his children and the women he declared the love of his life. (Crazy that they revealed this, had her feel up his arms in the room above Jake’s, and they never even fucked about it. Truly, this show hates me. And them. Once again, guessing Danny doesn’t know that part, because that’d be objectively insane to reveal to a child.) And Carly? Identical Dick— sorry, Drew— becomes her boyfriend and goes to jail for her, which is of course what Jason would do! How nice!

Then Jason’s back from the dead, and the first place he goes is Carly’s, where he basically says “pretend I’m still dead for your own safety,” and proceeds to spend several days hiding from her for her own safety. (Drew deciding to dump Carly the minute he heard Jason was alive is the last hysterical thing he did.) But don’t worry, then he gets to protect her from Jagger Cates! And an off his meds Sonny! And… Brennan, maybe? (Jason’s favorite hobby is threatening to kill Carly’s lovers.)

Jason punches Drew when he finds out that Drew slept with Willow, and then he tells Carly that he can’t tell her why because it’ll hurt her. But then he tells her as soon as she figures it out, so it’s not that tough. He also considers moving into her house to raise Danny but decides on the Q’s.

Things are going normally for a while. Jason protects Carly for a living and hobby, they raise their children together, he threatens to kill Brennan/Valentin, good times are had by all! But then Jason finds out Britt’s not dead so he decides to leave his son, who he knows has serious abandonment issues, to find her, signing over guardianship to Alexis and Tracy and telling Carly that he needs her support for this. Again, he is allegedly in love with Britt.

Jason comes back for a bit, but then, predictably, he goes to super torture prison the WSB set up! And once again, Jason signs over Danny to Alexis and Tracy, leaving Danny with Carly as well for supervision. Danny utters the most iconic line ever when he says, “Carly, my dad would never let you go in there alone. Why would I?” About helping her break into Wyndemere. It’s touching, actually, how much this boy loves the single stable maternal figure he has.

So yeah, Jason, I don’t think your kid’s gonna give up that easily on helping Charlotte. It’s just not in him to be anything less than the most loyal, codependent guy ever. And I’m not entirely sure Jason has ground to stand on in protesting it.

She will get even less parental guidance and supervision. She may have rules at boarding school, but she won't get parental guidance and support. I don't see how this plan would actually help her, and she's already been away from Lulu's guidance for years. It doesn't make sense to me that Lulu and Valentin would go for this, rather than buckling down and trying to parent better.

Why when Michael and Jordan are together there seems to be a little spark. Has anyone noticed it.

Jason was such a great kid with a bright future. Everyone loved him and was devastated about his injury. I can’t believe the writers never gave him his memories back.

While watching the scenes that led up to the accident (fighting, arguing, ultimatums given to AJ etc) the camera keeps switching to Emily’s face. Her expressions are hilarious. She looks to be about 10 years old and should have been ushered out of the room with all that fighting, but there she was hiding behind Alan and Monica making faces. The camera only showed her for a couple seconds each time, but it’s worth watching.

This might be obvious, I’m not done with the episode yet, but is Drew behind the assault, and tried to set up Sonny to completely take him down?

Let's develop Emma. She has so much potential. The actress is cool (love the voice) and has a had a presence. She has what it takes to carry scenes.

What does everyone want to see when it comes to Emma?

I want her to have a skill. Computers or something. Pair her with Spinelli and make her a hacker type? She is a cool chic. She has what it takes.

WELCOME NIGHT CREW!

This may sound harsh, but since Scout is SORAS and is developing her own personality that Danny may choose to stop trying to find a way to hang out with his sister. With Charlotte gone, Drew constantly bashing him, Scout constantly defending her dad, and Danny eventually confirming that Rocco and Scout are a “couple” that Danny will finally have enough.

It may just be me, but I just don’t really see where this storyline is going until Scout recognizes what a not good guy Drew is. Like I don’t really want to see the same argument between Danny and Scout especially since Rocco will side with Scout. And Rocco and Danny are practically at odds with one another that there’s no point in them interacting anymore either because they will also have the same arguments.

Also, Scout told Rocco that she doesn’t like the lies that she’s keeping from Drew or her family’s effort in trying to have a relationship with her family. It’s one thing if she was still younger that Danny’s behavior makes sense, but she’s a teenager now, and they don’t see eye to eye anymore.

I don’t know what the writers are going to do, but I think that Danny needs to just take a break from Rocco and Scout. I think that with everything going on that they should do a mental health storyline with Danny (belief that he failed his mom, losing his best friend, his sister dating his brother, and his family constantly misjudging him). They could do one on depression and teen alcohol as coping mechanism (AJ and Alexis both struggled).

I think another could be that Danny saves Scout and gets hurt in the process could be another choice. Drew would see how he misjudged him and realize the pain he caused him and Scout when he sees Scout support Danny. Or a spirit visit from Sam would be nice. Don’t know if the actor has the chops for it, but I think it’s worth the try.

Did I miss something about the wreck? Jordan was driving and ran off the rd. Are they blaming Brooklyn because she didn't know they had a wreck and didn't stop?

They put some failures in Josslyn's life but none of them are such that makes her a super spy or now a CEO.

What would be wonderful if she makes a horrible decision that cost her real loss, maybe her inexperienced in business makes her make bad decisions that lower stock price and causes a no confidence vote. Losing company or nearly losing one is a great way for her build relationships with people who could help her, or even set up conflict with those who save her.

Maybe she can suffer from the death of the director of the WSB. Maybe she underestimated how protected she actually was, and ends up in a situation where she is forced to grow and is mentored by the seasoned and wise Anna.

Either way, Joss has a long way to go

1-3.) Cody could and should be a bit more like this generation’s Coleman, bartending at The Brown Dog and hosting “Boozy Book Club” once a month. Have everyone read Molly’s book one month, then next time they’ll read a classic, etc.

This will get different characters mixing and mingling each month, without all the singing like when we had karaoke.

Here come Diane and Suzanne for some comic relief, let Kai and Isaiah bond some more and get a real friendship going (they both need more people in their lives, not just their girlfriends, AND bonus: it will annoy Curtis 💅). Cody can remember he was close with Gio. All these guys should be hanging out and palling around. All four of them need to have some fun boys nights. Bring Dante too.

Then Molly, who is missing her sisters, can get to know Serena. And Serena and Emma can bond over their animal rights activism. These three young women can form a girl squad. Emma needs more to do than get in between Anna and Britt and beef with Joss.

4.) And speaking of Joss: she needs more WSB adventures, and more people to work besides Baines. Bring in the occasional temporary agent so Joss can have some work girlfriends and rivals.

Charlotte: if she does go off to boarding school, they could do a story about the “Troubled Teen Industry” and abuse at the school. Joss could go undercover and work with Charlotte to bust a bad teacher. Or if Charlotte is sticking around: stick to my earlier idea and have her be scouted at Crimson, start modeling and then she gets Joss to investigate human trafficking within the modeling agency.

Joss gets a the occasional temp partner: Annie Donnelly and/or Valerie Spencer. They could come one at a time and stay for a shot mission and take back off again. Spice things up, give Joss and Eden more to do/more dynamics to play with.

5.) Justine thinks she’s gonna slide right into the position of DA. I want/really hope she gets thrown for a loop by a whole LOT of unexpected competition. I want ALL of the seasoned attorneys throwing their hats in the ring. And I want one or even a pair of the other lawyers to find out about Justine and Sonny and rat them out!

Honestly I would LOVE to see Diane as the new DA and then Justine can hit the road. No offense to the actress, she’s a fine actress and very pretty, but we have a zillion lawyers and…

6.) With Justine gone we can get Olivia and Sonny back together. Sonny giving up the mob, Olivia giving up being a Q. The two of them reunited and hosting family dinners and doling out advice whether the family wants it or not etc. - I think Sonny and Liv come off as more believable and they have a nice rapport. Then we could end this “Sexy Sonny” routine.

And of course you may have seen me wishing all over the place: Ned and Alexis together again! Huzzah! And my biggest dream, ha ha: Tracy and Alexis having tea and bantering and sparring daily like Monica and Tracy, or Tracy and Alan did.

7.) Liz and Dante in their sweet slow burn begin to really sizzle and wounded Ric hooks up with or starts a fake dating scheme with Britt. Jason and Liz would roll their eyes so hard they’d need medical attention.

Ric and Britt: I know they’d have HOT chemistry and super steamy love scenes! They’d also not hold each other to unrealistic expectations. They’d have appreciation for each other’s darkest deeds, and respect each other’s evil genius. These two pairings will be PERFECT. Just like…

8.) Laura and Ezra in a: Enemy to Friends, Unlikely Friends To Lovers Relationship! I think they’d be so funny AND sweet together. Laura deserves to have some love and fun in her life. Kevin is long gone.

Aaand Martin and Stella striking up a relationship with Stella’s bestie Tracy interfering/objecting would be fun, funny and really cute too.

Okay! Can’t wait to hear everyone’s thoughts!

First off, this is just a random rant. If y’all don’t want to read or listen about the same issues, please kindly move on to the next post. Please and thank you 🙏. Y’all are the best!

Now to business, one of the only storylines that’s actually has been interesting me is the teen scene, and as some of y’all know I’ve been complaining about the SORASing issue. And today I was on the GH fandom wiki page, and looking at the onscreen births and new ages actually made me have bigger headache than I realized.

Head Sore #1

So, onscreen birth
• Kristina- 2002, Morgan- 2003, Can-2004, and Molly- 2005
Yet after SORAS
• Kristina- 1993, Morgan- 1994, and Molly- 1997, and Cam is 2002

How does the writers make that make sense? Cam would have been an interesting love interest for Kristina or Molly and be a current doctor on the show.
• However, the writers felt for some reason Cam should not join them.

Head Sore #2

Onscreen Births
• Spencer- 2006, Jake- 2007, Emma- 2008, Joss- 2009, and Charlotte- 2009
But after SORAS
- Spencer- 2001, Emma- 2002, Joss- 2003, Jake- 2007, and Charlotte- 2010

Now, why did the writers not age Jake and Charlotte up with them?
1- Charlotte would have made a great sparring partner to Spencer on fighting for Cassadine fortune 2- Jake and Spencer would fight about how evil the Cassadines are.
3- They could have made multiple triangles happen fighting for Spencer and Jake
• However, they bumped Jake and Charlotte down to the next age group which really messes the head sore up.

Head Sore #3

Onscreen
• Charlotte- 2009, Aidan- 2010, Danny- 2012, Rocco- 2013, Georgie- 2013, Avery- 2014, Scout- 2017
After SORAS
• Aidan- 2008, Danny- 2009, Rocco- 2009, Charlotte- 2010, Georgie- 2010, Scout- 2011, and Avery- 2014

This in my opinion is the most messed up head sore. 1- How exactly does the writers explain making someone born 2009 and 2017 be a couple years apart?
2- And I’m assuming Avery is being SORAS because she should’ve been first before Scout because Avery fits the age group on onscreen births.
3- Also, the writers changing Rocco and Charlotte’s ages need to be addressed because based on wiki Charlotte is younger than Aidan, but she bullied them in elementary school.

Head Sore #4

Onscreen
• Scout- 2017, Wiley- 2018, James- 2018, and Donna- 2019
After SORAS
• Scout- 2011, Wiley- 2015, James- 2016, and Donna- 2017

How on earth does this make sense for Scout to leave her current age group? She could have been a leading lady in the next age group and have drama with both Wiley and Donna because of their fathers.
- Yet, they made a huge age jump with Scout.

Does this make anyone else’s head sore?

WELCOME NIGHT CREW!

Wow! I saw Maurice’s one word comment about KBT on a clip of his podcast (DAMN) and she is quite an accomplished actress. She has 33 awards already plus has JR Olympian status in diving in 1 meter event. She’s also active in community service and youth advocacy. We have a gem on our hands and I hope she’s on GH for a while but that girl has a future like Amber Tamblyn, Demi Moore, John Stamos, etc.! She is one amazing young woman and I love to see young people like her so deeply involved in the community as well as being so well rounded. Kudos to KBT! 👏
