GH: Night Shift Episode 1 Disccussion

[Rhiannon]

Just finished watchting the 1st episode that SN aired at 4am CT/5am ET, and it's not to bad.....

Billy Dee Williams seems to be playing a janitor.....

There's a hilarious scene concerning Maxie and Coop.....

Jason is in jail on GH, but on GH:NS he's not.....

People are going to freak if the woman in the ambulance is who the show is hinting at........

The show is mediocore at best.. Alright for a first episode and I hope it improves. It was all over the place and that got a bit annoying. I guess they were trying to show how hectic it was at a hospital but I wish there was a bit more focus

Robin was such a jealous witch and I hated how she snapped at Leyla. At least she had the decency to apologize. Looks like it continues next week and I hope Patrick ends up with Lelyla, especially if Robin starts to rekindle her old feelings for Jason

I was surprised at how graphic that scene between Coop and Maxie was. I didnt think they'd go there. So Mac finally knows about them too. I didnt get what the big deal was bc she's 21, legal and able to do what she wants

Im glad the nurses got as much airtime as they did bc I thoughet they'd get the shaft. Regina parricularly was on a bit. LOL at her channeling Epiphany at the end.

HATED how much Epiphany was on. Way too much of that annoying hag. I cant beleive she told Dr. Ford that she doesnt tell doctors what to do; she just follows their direction. LIAR! She proceeded to do just that the entire episode.

I noticed that when Robin was talking to the pregnant patient, she told her that Kelly was in surgery. That seemed wrong bc she should have told her Dr. Lee was in surgery.

LOL..and do they really expect us to beleive Brenda is back? Not unless they've recasted. I wonder if Barrett will be connected to Coop, being as they have the same name

One thing I didnt like was the glaring continuity error. Jason is in jail on GH yet he was free as a bird on NS and now servign community service for shooting Spinelli. Is it really that important to have Jason? His inclusion seems VERY forced. They just have to have him around to play the overall good guy hero as if none of the other males could fit that role

First impression. Sort of a cross between GH at its worst and Grey's Anatomy at it's worst.

Anyone remember when we had a really great GH spinoff. It was about these interns? Or for that matter a great Medical show weekdays at three that used to be about a hospital and featured great writing and characters that were likable?

Night Shift actually has its own forum

I'm watching now and I'm already bored. It's completely uninteresting and the writing is beyond stupid. I mean laughing gas causing an explosion? Um, ok...

This is definitely a huge flop for me, I expected so much more. A show like this had so much potential. However, this is just the first episode, but I don't know if it'll get better.

I don't think the show is boring. Quite frankly, Nightshift is what GH should be every day. Drama within the hospital, not bullshit about mobsters and their whores.

Yes the show is like ER, but hey....GH and I mean the OLD GH is what set the standard for medical stuff back in the day.

Nightshift has potential and I think they did a very good job w/ the episode. They are doing a good job of showing how crazy the ER can be, without being over the top.

I find this show to be rather entertaining. It is better than what we see on GH right now. At least I am not watching it to hear about Liz loves Jason, Jason loves Liz, Lulu and her men, Carly and her men problems.

They are finally getting back to the hospital, which is what GH used to be about. This is just the first episode and I see it having great potential over time. It has a better feel and a better flow between the characters/actors.

What was the opening like? I missed it. I forgot it was on tonight.

[alwaysAMC]

I pretty much agree with everything you said - actually all of it! lol

I did enjoy the RISQUE Coop/Maxie scene though - haha.

Oh and did y'all notice the pregnant woman was AMC's ex-Allie Doyle? That was cool seeing her again - it's been years for me.

Oh and that opening isn't that great - I loved the city skywalk in beginning/end - but the montage and music isn't too good.

Wish they didn't have the credits in alphabetical order either, although I know it's fair, but giving Spinelli top billing....eh.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

Oh and how cheap were the computer generated exterior shots of Port Charles? LOL!

[leevo64]

I actually really liked it. It could use some improvement - Layla is a cardboard cutout, for example - but overall it's a fun summer show to get in to.

I will DIE if the burn victim turns out to be who they hinted! Also, how great was it when Regina finally did something right?

[Sweet_VeeVee24]

Right now I am going to wait till I see another episode.. As I was telling someone earlier, it's weird seeing certain characters in various situations on both shows:

From the previews for next week it looks like they are going to have Maxie in a possible triangle with Coop and the new doctor on there; while on GH, it's the whole Logan/Coop/Maxie/Lulu thing.

Then we have Jason in jail on GH but on probation as a janitor on NS.

It was good, but I want to at least see it again to see if they smooth things out some.

[AddictedToSoaps]

I loved it. It's so much better than the mob crap we see on GH every day. That Coop and Maxie scene with Ms. Sneed was pretty funny. I loved the Brenda hinting too. It has potential, I hope the remaining 12 episodes are as just as good, IMO.
