Video Girl!AU

this is dumb as hell but i had to get it out there because i am so so so ill for ghoap

Soap did not remember this video store. He’s passed by this street hundreds of times— surely… he would’ve seen it. Then again, maybe heartbreak makes you see the world differently. The clerk hands him a member card with a smile, and a promise that they’d have what he needed.

Yeah, he was doubting that. He didn’t recognize any of these titles. But something catches his eye– a girl on the cover of a VHS. One that’s just his type– a cute face, a gorgeous body, and a teasing little smile.

He turns the lights off in his room, slotting the tape into the VCR. It makes a kinda clunky, scary noise but eventually loads up the movie. It’s got a production logo like it’s softcore porn, which it very well could be– that’s what you get for picking by the cover without reading the back. Not that he’d mind if it was.

The girl from the cover appears on the screen, just as radiant. Maybe more, now that she’s in motion. Her laugh sounds like bells– gentle, sweet, innocent.

“Thank you. Thank you for choosing my video! Oh, why do you look so sad?” What was this, some sort of girlfriend experience type of thing?

 “Oh, I see, unrequited love is it? Don’t let it get you down though, okay? They just don’t understand you. You’ve got a lot to offer another person. I know I’m not much, but. How would you feel about letting me be the one to cheer you up?”

Video girl’s got him right pegged. Though he supposes it's not an uncommon reason to rent a flick with a hot girl on the cover. He sighs. Her expression softens even more in sympathy, her eyebrows drawn in as she pouts on his behalf.

“ I see...it’s that bad huh...? Poor guy, there’s no way just a video is gonna help you…” Ain’t that the truth? Terrible way to get him to rent more tapes, though. An epiphany seems to strike the girl, and a smile spreads over her face.

“That’s it! I’ll stay with you for as long as it takes!”

Imagine being the girl from a video Soap rented while wallowing in his feelings. Rejected by Simon, for reasons he doesn’t understand. They got along so well– different from the other guys. But then again, judging from how Simon looks at Price whenever he steps into the room… Maybe he does know why he was rejected.

When you come from the screen, Johnny’s surprised none of his neighbors call the cops, because he screams bloody murder.

You vow to help him… to help him be less lonely. To help him get the guy he wants. For the one month that his rental lasts, at least.

When you meet the guys, Soap is able to put together some lie about you being a friend of his sister who’s staying with him while you’re in town.

It’s just your luck that Ghost has a sixth sense. Man knows there’s something strange about you. The otherworldly knows the otherworldly.

And to make matters worse… You’re supposed to be a world-class lover. A teasing, minxy girl who knows just how to make a man fall over himself and beg for more without breaking a sweat. Or, you would be– if you hadn’t been played on a broken VCR.

Now you’re so damned timid. Incredibly sensitive, shy, stuttering whenever you make eye contact with any guy that isn’t Soap. And to Ghost, it’s like smelling blood in the water.

He’s constantly cornering you, chatting you up, trying to fluster you. He hardly knows he’s doing it, sniffing you out and trying to get you to crack. Quite frankly, you’re doing a terrible job of getting the two of them together.

And when Soap sees this all happening… He feels like he’s supposed to be jealous of you. He is–but it isn’t just that. He’s jealous of both of you… and at the same time, seeing you together seems so natural-- and it turns him the fuck on.

People mock soap operas

But their level of history exists no where else

General Hospital, 2018 vs. 2024

[wgtdaytime]

Oh well now that’s stinking cute ☺️

[livetoofiercely]

Y’all, I really forgot how annoying it is to watch a soap and really only be super-invested in one storyline.

I mean, the others are okay but I’m here for Lucky & Elizabeth. Put them on my screen, please.

nonsense thoughts from October 😮‍💨

Sasha is breaking my heart. Why did she do this? I’m hoping that comes up soon bc I fear I missed that piece of the puzzle

OK I LOVE SONNY???? He is so camp? He just had a cute baby girl???? Go off

Where is the German and how do I make her come back. Want more.

Joss has an Australian dad? I thought it was Sonny, but then this Aussie with no accent showed up, said he was Aussie, and she called him dad. Noted.

I know nothing about this Sonny guy so forgive me if he’s a big bad but this scene between him and his dad??? MY HEART?????

people bring up Sam A LOT but I do not see this Sam. Where is Sam.

Found Sam. Cannot focus on her or the jacked guy in the tight shirt. Redhead lady lawyer is back and she’s everything. So she’s in a lot of episodes? Hell yeah brother. I never thought I’d see her again after I saw her in that hotel. what is this queens name I’m looking her up later.

Do NOT want to take a break but gotta. Gh got me in a chokehold.

GENERAL HOSPITAL 01.09.24

[dgct2]

Dominic talks about getting to work with Amanda Setton (Brook Lynn) who is one of his favourite people on set. He also talks about the varied emotions that Dante felt when he heard the shocking news that Gio is his biological son. The last two weeks have been must see TV on GH.

Soap Opera Digest: You came onto the show in a major storyline involving Dante’s secret paternity; neither he nor Sonny knew they were father and son. Now, Dante and the son he didn’t know he had, Gio, have to reckon with the truth about their relationship. When you first found out GH was cooking up this story, were you at all struck by those parallels?

Dominic Zamprogna: I mean, at least I didn’t shoot him [Sonny infamously shot Dante moments before Olivia blurted out that Dante is Sonny’s son]! I didn’t really see the parallels at first, to be honest with you. Maybe I just had too much tunnel vision around everything that was going on. And the scenarios are kind of different, you know? This kid was always around; Dante knew him from the neighbourhood. It wasn’t like a stranger popping up out of nowhere. That may make it even more difficult for Dante to process, because he knew this person in one way and now he’s got to get to know him again in a completely different way, whereas when Dante came to town, he was new to Sonny — Sonny didn’t know anything about him. He had never met this person before. So, the similarities didn’t really hit me when Frank [Valentini, executive producer] first told me. But I loved it, man, because to me, it meant working with Amanda [Setton, Brook Lynn], and I love working with Amanda. She’s one of my favourite people on the show. Her abilities on camera and hanging out with her off camera, she’s just a great person, so I was looking forward to having meaningful story with her. But it also changes the dynamics between Chase and him, and Brook Lynn and him — there are so many potential arms and tentacles to this thing, and that’s exciting to play.

Digest: I thought the reveal was powerfully done, between the intensity of Giovanni Mazza’s (Gio) performance when Gio lashed out on stage, to the heartbreak on Amanda’s face and the shock and confusion on yours. What do you remember about playing the big moment when Dante hears Gio say that he is Dante’s son?

Zamprogna: I kind of played it like he thought it was like a joke, like part of his performance or something like that, until Gio starts freaking out. It’s not really until he looks at Brook Lynn that he realizes, “Oh, this is actually a real thing.” It’s obviously one of those “world turned upside down” moments, and those moments are hard to play. You don’t know what’s coming next, sometimes, so you’ve just got to play this moment as true as you can and know that the real moments of anger, frustration, sadness — all those things — are coming. But in the moment, it’s just total shock. I remember kind of almost smiling, like, “What the hell is going on?” It’s a good moment for Gio, for sure — he got to go a little apes–t up there!

Digest: Dante and Cody then share scenes where Cody sort of lays out what he knows and how he came to know it. As Dante is starting to absorb this huge paradigm shift in his reality, how would you describe what he’s going through?

Zamprogna: Well, it’s like a rug-pull moment, you know? Especially when he finds out, “Oh, you knew? And you knew?” I thought those scenes with Josh [Kelly, Cody] were really great, actually. Josh is phenomenal and a very soulful guy in his own right, and I think those scenes that we had in the immediate aftermath of Dante finding out were beautifully written and super-emotional scenes.

Digest: We’re only at the tip of the iceberg at this juncture — the truth is out, but he hasn’t had it out yet with Brook Lynn, nor does he know about Lulu’s role in what went down, nor has he spoken one-on-one with Gio and so forth. What can you tease about what fans can expect when the action picks up next week?

Zamprogna: Well, when he finds Brook Lynn, she’s in the middle of it with Lois. And those scenes may be the best scenes I’ve ever seen, the ones between Rena [Sofer, Lois] and Amanda [Setton]. It’s just otherworldly. He goes to look for her to be like, “How could you?” and he sees the place she’s in, this terrible moment with her mom, and [it shifts his perspective]. It’s tough, man. It’s tough when you feel betrayed by multiple people who are very close to you and whether or not you agree with their reasons for doing it, everyone you scan your eyes to in those moments seem to already know something that they were keeping from you, whether it’s Cody or Chase or Brook Lynn or Lulu or Carly, you know? The list just seems to keep growing, and Dante is like, “Well, am I the only one that didn’t know? There’s a lot of great writing, a lot of great moments to come, for sure.

General Hospital is dead to me.
