Members danthig Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 I love the 24 ripoff storyline for GH.How it fits into a fast-paced show like GH i'm suspending logic on that one.This would be the slowest I've seen GH since I've been on and off watching show.

Members AllAboutAngst Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 These stunts never do anything for them...I think the only time one of these 'stunts' actually helped GH win sweeps was the train wreck. The Hurricane didn't do it, I don't believe the virus story did it either, and GH couldn't even win sweeps for the gimmicky return of Laura (I respect Luke & Laura of course, but her return was not well-written and yet another gimmick). What makes it even worse is that GH swears up and down that the show is broke...probably wouldn't be broke if they spent less time on stupid gimmicks that don't translate into any actual revenue (last week GH couldn't even top the demos). And more often than not, a veteran actor ends up losing their job to help pay for this gimmicky crap. And really, what is it all for? If you can't maintain the ratings or demos for a consistent period of time, what are you really winning? Y&R does both without a gimmick every couple of months, GH should take a page from them. All of this money on promotions and press and then firing Stuart Damon...if GH doesn't win sweeps....well I wouldn't be surprised, it would just be another example of gimmicky stupidity on the part of TPTB at the show.

Members Joe Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 I'll give GH credit where credit is due. GH does great drama. It's just a shame that the show can't be this good all year round. Mr. Craig is quite possibly the greatest villain GH has seen in recent years.

Members AllAboutAngst Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 Now, having said all that I said before, I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE CRAIG, love him! I want him to stick around (as long as he isn't mean to Alexis lol)! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Joe Posted February 3, 2007 Members Share Posted February 3, 2007 I love how he is just so remorseless. He honestly doesn't give a flip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Ohhh I love Mr. Craig too. That voice... swooon. He can hold me hostage any day I did like Manny too, but that was mostly the actor. He gave me chills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KLN Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Am I the only one who doesn't understand the '24' comparison? All soaps play out in a 'real time' format. The only difference now with GH is that they add '14 hours earlier' at the beginning, LoL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted February 4, 2007 Members Share Posted February 4, 2007 Yeah, but I think it's continous. Like it plays out every.single.beat of that day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members alwaysAMC Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Today is good! I'm loving this entire thing... I'm eating it up - which is just what Frons and ABCD wanted me to do....haha - oh well. The Alan stuff is too sad though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DruRocks Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 Skye is a [!@#$%^&*] idiot if she knows what's going on. GH is 'must watch' TV these days. No other soap comes close to it right now. I was literally on the edge of my seat today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Brightside Posted February 5, 2007 Members Share Posted February 5, 2007 I really want to hate GH because of TIIC but I'm loving it...just like Y&R. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
