Dateline Port Charles:  The Girl and the Dragon Lady Wu

Looking forward to the epic face off of Britt vs. Mrs. Wu.  Methinks something fishy is underway and Wu has a hidden agenda.  What could it be?  Our girl Britt better channel her inner Faison if she's gonna go up against the formidable mobstress Wu to protect her beloved bestie Bradley.  Extra bonus if Dr. O. gets on board.

Pass the popcorn and let the games begin!  🍿

I watch on Hulu and I lost about a week of episodes. Then they put them back but I'd already seen the most current one so it didn't pay to go backward. I have cable and can watch on ABC but I like watching with no commercials, still Hulu really fucked up. I am going to DVR the show as a backup from now on. Although, while I could tell I missed some things basically missing 5 or so episodes really didn't change much. Does that mean the plots are moving too quickly or too slowly?

R34 Nina is the closest thing Sasha has to a mother so she totally makes sense. Sonny is trying to fill a father figure role for Brando, especially since the backstory suggests that realMike would've filled that role had he been alive. Carly is his wife, plus she will always be grateful to Brando for saving her life. So it isn't like they are random people or just friends, they are their closest relatives. Also, the only real parent present is Gladys and they need other people there to control her.

My cousin married a skinny girl, but after their first baby her body changed into a full figure type and stayed that way no matter how much she exercised and dieted. Unlike the Maxie actress I think her weight gain bothers Setton. But, Setton should just embrace it, she carries it well and she is still very attractive.

Cameron's muscles were well defined during his AMC days. They just weren't as big. So, he must have added some steroids to his regimen to get the muscles to grow that much.

Also, FV really missed an opportunity. Since this hearing was taking place in Llanview, why not have Hillary B. Smith back as Nora? She could've now been Judge Nora Buchannan. She has already been established as a part of GH, but I doubt Valentin would have much use for her services now that he has Martin Grey. Maybe she just didn't want to risk it during covid.

Or, has ABC said no to direct OLTL and AMC mentions now for some reason?

Michael punches Scotty in a public courthouse, then it's all resolved in the next scene because he called Diane and she and Scott and the judge worked it all out. WTF?

[quote] GH fans get upset at all the OLTL characters and ABC told Frank to tone it down.

Then don't do a major months long storyline set within the world of OLTL. So much of what they did just screamed out to me that originally that is what it was supposed to have been.

The Tan-O was a replacement for Roadies. A setting that would've allowed various OLTL characters to make cameos as customers and since AMC's Pine Valley was right next door some of them could appear as well. Instead we have scenes taking place in Llantano County and now Llanview and no one is familiar. It has just been a big tease which might be supported by some GH fans but not the large percentage of us who were also OLTL and AMC fans. They might even stop watching the show driving the ratings even lower. Hell, Loving and RH were able to be worked into these stories, but not the show that took place in the same county and for whom Llantano Mountain was almost its own character? That just doesn't make sense. If the network didn't want to allow OLTL references why not scrape Nixon Falls or just set it in Corinth. Soap Opera towns are more than just settings they are woven into the fabric of the show. GH and The Doctors were competitors but GH could never take place in Madison and The Doctors wouldn't be the same set in PC. When you mention PC, Salam, Genoa City, Llanview, Pine Valley, Springfield, Oakdale, Bay City, etc... they feel like real places we only get to visit through the tv. This was either lazy or cruel.

As an old time OLTL viewer, I turned to GH when I read they were connecting to Llantano County. Now, I feel I've been duped, so I've dropped the show. What did I learn in the meantime? That the show has sold out, trying to make its villains (Sonny, Carly, Jason) its heroes! When you have phenomenal and popular talents like the actresses who play Liz and Ava continually sidelined or given the B or C stories, you have moved from soap opera to cartoon. How do you explain to young viewers that the mobster, his hit man, and his shrewish moll are the heroes of a show? At least Luke was a kind of anti-hero, someone who hated himself for his actions. The show tries to portray amoral people as the moral center of the show. It's a sad commentary on what can happen to a show that has sold out its values for feeble attempts to lure viewers.

Sonny was a minor character who debuted in Aug 1993, created by then HW Bill Levinson. He wasn't a mob boss at the time, just a sleazy strip club owner who had connections to organized crime. He likely would have disappeared from the canvas at the end of the Karen Wexler gets hooked on drugs storyline.

However, Claire Labine became HW in conjunction with the return of Luke and Laura in late Oct 1993. Labine loved having mob storylines (Ryan's Hope always had mob characters) and brought Sonny into a more prominent role. Labine had him in a super-couple style romance with Brenda, a storyline that always emphasized the romance and downplayed the mob connections (much like she treated the Joe Novack character on RH).

When Bob Guza took over as HW in early 1996, he started playing up the mob connections of Sonny more. If I recall correctly, Sonny became a Godfather character who headed the entire mob operation under Guza. He also put Jason in Sonny's orbit by making the brain damaged Jason into Sonny's hit man.

However, while these mob characters had a prominent role from this point on, they were still part of the ensemble. The main characters at that point -- Luke and Laura and the Qs were all the heart of the show.

It was when Genie Francis left the show in Aug 2002 that Guza shifted focus to make Sonny the moral center of the show. The Sopranos was a hit at that point, so Guza, JFP and Brian Frons wanted to copy that. This is the point when the show started sacrificing other characters to prop up Sonny.

When Ron Carlivati became HW in early 2012, he recognized that the show was lopsided and moved Sonny away from being the moral center. However, there were still mob stories -- the Joe Scully Jr. and son Trey storyline was Ron's creation.

Maurice Benard complained about being moved into a less prominent role and some viewers complained too, so TPTB forced Ron to put Sonny back as the center of the show.

perfect storm of all of the above plus Kevin and Lucy being shifted to port Charles helped contribute to the creation of the sonny hour.

Sonny became the star because Guza had a hard on for Tony Soprano and wanted to write a story about a tortured mob family. I think Guza is a good writer, but the problem is Sonny was never going to be Tony Soprano because you can't tell that kind of story on daytime. To this day no one knows what kind of mobster Sonny is. You can't be the leading man on a soap and run drugs, girls, or guns. So all of this territory that Sonny is always fighting to hold on to, what's he dealing in?

1. Both are boring characters who remain on the show solely because they are the sons of the the show's marquee actors.

2. Both characters are played by bland actors who are probably capable of doing more acting-wise but rarely are given opportunities to go outside of their comfort zone.

3. Both are characters I would not miss if they disappeared from the show.

A lot of actors are green and nervous when they first start. And the pace can be overwhelming. Shows understand that and give new actors some slack. But they also have the option of releasing them from their contracts after the first 13 week cycle.

Marcus has been on the show since Oct 2019 and clearly is not improving. I imagine Maura is working with him, subtly giving him tips for improvement.His best scenes are opposite her. His worst scenes seem to be opposite Genie.

One can only imagine what Marcus would be doing if he didn't have Maura there to prop him up.

by Anonymousreply 238January 4, 2022 6:34 PM

R238 - It's vaguely similar, but they seem to use the same template for all their "penthouses." I think it might be the one Johnny Zaccara lived in, too.

According to this Sonny and the family left the penthouse in 2005. Before Sonny, it was owned by Sean Donely. It is located across from Sam's apartment which is Penthouse #2. However, it is clear that Sam has redecorated/renovated hers to a different aesthetic.

I guess Luke’s death will be all about Carly The Shrew’s reaction to it.

by Anonymousreply 241January 4, 2022 7:56 PM

R241 I hope not, but at least she is his niece, they have established history, and he was the only person to call her Caroline.

I don't believe Luke is really dead. I can't believe that after all these years the writers/executives would allow Luke to be killed by a Cassadine. I'm sure Victor organized it, but I assume he has Luke stashed somewhere.

If Tony Geary wanted to come back, they would quickly resurrect Luke.

I suspect, a r242 suggests, this is a way to prop up Victor and the thread the Cassadines pose.

I mean, Nikolas is hardly a threat since Marcus Coloma started playing him. And they've made Valentin into a romantic lead. So, the family's not exactly menacing these days. But Victor 's presence is slowly changing that.

So, they said the cable car was charred beyond recognition, but yet they still somehow identified his "remains?" Let me guess, a carefully planted personal item like an engraved watch or ring? Pair of dentures? Custom-made Prince Albert piercing?

They've already had Victor outsmarted by Peter and having to be saved. It's hard to find him menacing after that.

Well, they've got to prop up Peter any way they can. Anything to make him seem more powerful and menacing, although cartoon characters rarely really seem all that menacing.

Laura Wright must be dictating story, commanding that Wes stay on the show no matter how many corners they write the one-dimensional Peter into.

A few things: Maura West chose Marcus so her lack of airtime and story is on her. I highly doubt Luke is dead. Lastly, it’s just mean putting fat Kirsten in scenes with Finola and Kristina! Recast or send Maxie off.

by Anonymousreply 247January 4, 2022 11:18 PM

Um, Carly The Shrew has literally had scenes reacting to things that had nothing to do with Carly. Laura should not be on everyday. Snarling and sniveling does not an actress make.

Please elaborate.

Are you saying Maura had a say in the casting? Or she opted to stay in this Nikolas storyline rather than bail out?

Is GH still a day off due to preemptions? I think it is clear that yesterday's episode should've been the last episode of last week and today's should've been the first of the new year. I can't believe we had Monica, Bobbie, Tracy, and Laura in one episode. If Lesley had shown up, I think I'd have had an orgasm.

Also, thankfully, Bobbie and Monica's facelifts both seem to have finally settled into them looking human again.

Jackie Zeman’s fillers are literally weighing down the bottom half of her face.

by Anonymousreply 251January 5, 2022 12:41 AM

R251 Maybe she got some to do that, as a correction. For the last few years, she looked like a cross between a creepy porcelain doll and a burn victim. She needed fillers to bring some more dimension to her face.

[R251] Totally agree - One of her first lines today was "Something horrible happened" and I thought yes, your face work! Make it stop!!!

It will turn out that Luke and Stone Cold are being held somewhere in Austria . Holly and Ethan will have to rescue them. Victor Sheffield is behind the whole scheme.

R254 = I agree--except for the Jason part....This whole thing reeks of February Sweeps Stunt.....Geary already said he would come back short term---LINK----“If the story is interesting to me and it works out, I may come back to the show for six weeks or so."

Does anyone really believe that Luke is dead? How many times now is this that he had died? Stupid soap opera plot. Frankie V needs to go.

I just hope that when it comes out that he really is alive it will be off screen. I hope we never have to see AG on air again.

Genie Francis is probably thrilled to never see AG again. I will say Luke and Tracy were fun..I don't find Shane Cassadine that interesting. Maybe Patsy Pease can show up as his wife Kimberly Cassadine?

Isn't Franco Baldwin also dead dead as per ABC's recent No Rapists On Board mandate?

Is Luke's demise also due to the purported mandate?

r263 No. The current regime may say No Rapists Allowed. That could change next week. If a new executive comes in at ABC, he/she may give the go ahead to bring back Franco. Or Todd. Or Luke.

R249 She tested with quite a few actors that were up for Nikolas and she chose Marcus. They’ve both said this quite a few times.

by Anonymousreply 265January 5, 2022 3:46 PM

r265 So we're stuck with Marcus because Frank is trying to please Maura, just like we're stuck with Wes Ramsey because Frank is trying to keep Laura W happy???????

Someone asked about Sonny's penthouse set.

The one that debuted this week is a brand new set. I've never seen it before.

The one that Sonny used throughout the 90s and into the early 2000s had previously been Sean and Tiffany's penthouse. The entrance to that penthouse was on the right side of the set with a staircase opposite the door.

The last time I saw that set used was in a 2007 episode of the SoapNet reality competition I Want to Be A Soap Star
