Not Like It Sounds | General Hospital (July 2nd, 2024)

Blaze puts Natalia's feet to the fire after hearing the homophobic things she was caught saying on a hot mic. #GeneralHospital
Original airdate: July 2nd, 2024

[@adriankendrick4281]

Even though Ava recorded her she has had a issue with Blaze and Kristina's relationship from the start. That is how she really felt regardless of the circumstances surrounding how the tape came about.

[@Cheetahgirl818]

Natalia basically lite a match to her daughter's career and doesn't care about the blow back it has on her and her career this is one of those times where actions have consequences and if I was Blaze's manager I would tell Blaze to do an interview with Kristina and telling her side of the story and the reason she stayed in the closet versus coming out sooner with a reporter or somebody that does best during situations like this from a compassionate angle and see if they can recover from this

[@feliciatierney2265]

This scene needs to be on her Emmy reel!!! Her performance was outstanding. It was raw and visceral and brought tears to my eyes because I know there are real people that have faced this same ugliness and intolerance from people who were supposed to love them unconditionally.

[@francostevo9939]

My highschool best friend was my bestest friend. Yrs later he and I and my brother decide to catch up and spend some time together. While we 3 had lunch together, my pal told me that he is Pansexual and I accepted that and didn’t look at him any less. Why type of friend would I be if I didn’t because he accepted me for who I was back in school. People gave me a hard time just because I didn’t speak in black ebonic vernacular English, the way I speak without use of slang and gangsta talk, or the way I dress by not sagging my pants. People gave me a hard time for that and said I’m not black because of it but my pal never did that to me. He accepted me for who I was and yrs later we see each other for the first time in yrs and he tells me he’s pansexual? I accept him to the end. He did for me and I do the same for him. I am not gay , I am not part of LGBT but that doesn’t mean I can’t support them.

[@darrellmccluskey1038]

Good for u but People r just hateful its so sad that we can love who we love rather if we r Gay or from another Race its very sad I mean u love who u love as long as if u r happy that what counts and if they make u happy if only everyone in this world feel the same this world would be so much Different

[@treehugger7948]

Many comments state how blaze should have come out. I don’t believe that. I’ve always thought that who you love or your sexuality is no one’s business. No one should have to come out. A straight person doesn’t announce in an interview that they are straight. I think blaze could easily say my sexuality isn’t a thing to announce. I think the issue is that she’s disappointed in her mother’s beliefs and hurt. That dealing with her mother is sadly what many gays face with their families and friends. Deception should say the same. They don’t announce their people’s personal business. Am I wrong in my thinking?

[@patriciaschneck2110]

At one time in my life, I had similar feelings about gays. I was so wrong and I'm sorry for being in the wrong. Since then I've worked with people who were gay, bi, and lesbians and after these people have worked with me and I have gotten to know them ( not hear about it) I have such different feelings and opinions now. Now I respect them more as people and I don't care if they like women instead of men or vice versa, just because it's not my cup of tea, it is theirs. If one of my daughters brought home a girl instead of a man, I would back them up. I've made many friends since then, and gotten to know them as people not some name or title. My kids had a playdate with one of my coworkers' kids and I found out that he was gay, well bisexual, and I saw a picture on the table and complimented how pretty his sister was. He laughed and said, that's me. He dressed up for drag shows at a place in town and it looked like he had a twin sister. Lol, I told him he looked better as a sister, and he agreed. Nowadays, I really don't give a fudge, gays, lesbians and trans can live their lives as they see fit, it's their business and nobody else's.🌈🌈

[@joiisler3012]

You're the dumbest old bat that I've ever seen. I guess if the #Kraze fans say so, you'll have to pack your tude and go.'- inspired by "Hit The Road, Jack" performed by Ray Charles. So, would anybody care to help Natalia stuff her other foot down her throat or should that be left for Kristina & Allie/Blaze? That's what went on through my brain as I watched yesterdays episode.
