GH: Night Shift Episode 10 Discussion


Recommended Posts

We finally saw Guza's signature shootout. I was wondering how long it would take for that to show up on NS. Of course Jason kills 5 men and saves the day

This Barret mystery was a big bust. I thought we were finally going to go somewhere with it but they dont show her face, dont have her interact with any of the characters and she just leaves.

Leyla and Regina graduated right in the middle of the night shift? Its like 3-7AM. WTH?

WTF kind of ending is that? Theres a hit and run victim and Pat tries to stop Robin from seeing her. Its a woman that looks like Robin on the operating table and she opens her eyes. I wonder if this means the whole season was a dream. If so what a waste

Well, I didn't get it at all the Robin on the gurney deal. I guess I'm slow because I didn't get the dramatic effect other than out of the blue and shock w/no substance to it so I didn't connect the dots. Yeah I thought the Barrett was a missed opportunity.

I don't understand why they repeatedly in press releases said it was to be a stand-alone drama separate from GH but storylines and NS characters are turning up on GH. I did like instructed to watch NS in its context; however now it can't be a dream since Friday Leo was recuperating from being shot on GH. I don't mind it at all because I like the hot Drs Leo and Andy just saying what I was told at the onset that it is to be viewed separately from GH. When NS ended I left everything there. This was suppose to be a self-contained 13 week mini-series loosely based on the some of the characters of GH and new characters. I had problems w/NS in that I didn't see enough of the NS characters eg Andy Archer, Leo, Regina, Cody/Lainey. Way too much Spinelli I like him but felt since he had so much airtime on GH why do the same w/NS. ABC has a bad habit over exposing their characters to the point I get sick of them on the screen. I didn't understand why they felt it necessary to leave Robin/Patrick in angst while he's still locking lips with Leyla this was not to be a GH deal. I trained myself to look at NS as fanfiction of GH then they flip the script.

There were a lot of good vignettes on the show. Can't say I am surprised at the shoot em up bang bang playing out at the final eppy. I kinda figured Jr. would resort to his old formula; and his fascination with the bang bang, he shot me down. I thought it was a nice touch to have Jase picked up in a limo by Sonny.

I thought w/the exception of it became a lot about Leyla/ Patrick romance instead of Patrick/Robin it was overall pretty good. It seemed to me that this Leyla character hijacked Robin/Patrick storyline. Can't say I'm surprised she seems to be their "IT" girl for the moment. But this was a costly error since their ratings tanked.

I liked Robin kicking Dr. Dummy to the curb and going on about her business as showing a character not defined by a pairing driven storyline since that is what soaps have become. Yes, from "professional scribers" it could have been better but I enjoyed a lot of the characters and will miss them. Especially the hottie Drs. Andy and Leo. It left me wondering why everyone seemed to be showing up except Regina. Why didn't she get a contract too? Jolene/Leyla actresses did. .

The season finale was so ridiculously flawed it's not even funny. It was treated like bad fanfiction. First of all, why build up Jolene all this time as this horrible villain and then not show a confrontation with ANYONE? The shootout was so ridiculous, too. Sure, it didn't involve the mob but couldn't they have gone thirteen episodes without turning Jason into the Terminator? We got a minor conclusion to the Kelly/Andy story, but nothing of note to Cody/Lainey. Regina and Leyla graduated in the middle of their shift? SERIOUSLY? Brenda (and I am now sure it's Brenda because of the way they had her walk and dress at the end) still has not been seen or resolved. The worst part, though, was the last scene. Why the hell would Robin look down and see herself? Was the Night Shift all just a dream? Is this whole series supposed to be Robin on the operating table? The only good part about the finale was the end of the Toussaint story.

I didn't understand the last scene either. I did like Jason holding onto Robin though, she reminded me of when she was a little kid on GH. Surprised about all the shooting, but I guess we are still in PC and that is what happens in PC. I like Kelly and her doc, hope they get to go on GH. Agree, Jolene was kind of anti climatic. I am getting a little tired of Spinelli, always turning up everywhere, and during those shootout scenes he was so in the way. I think they try and portray Spin and Jason having this great raport, but I don't think it works all the time. LOL at Epifany telling him to get lost.

Regina should have gottne a contract to come to GH. She was by far the most intersting char on NS and the actress is really good. I like Leyla, so im glad shes now on GH.

everyone else, aside from Kelly Dr Winters, who came from GH, i couldnt care less about.

I hope that season on NS its still moslt about the hospital - with nothing stupid like jason and spin always being there. use this time for dr kelly, Dr Winters, Liz... hells even show Maxie & lulu as candy stripers. Maybe use these people named Monica and Bobbie?

How about this: No GH: NS characters crossing over to GH. There are far too GH characters that should return or be given stories: Mac, Gail, Robert, Bobbie, Lee, Lucas, Celia, Larry, Arielle, Monica, Edward, Ned, Jenny, Paul Hornsby Jr., Alice, Jimmy Lee, Blackie, Lesley, Amy, Dara, Lucy, Kevin, and Serena.

         And I must say that Latvia's song is oddly magnetic. I think it deserves a place in the final. I would much rather have seen Australia and Serbia in the final than Lithuania and Malta though.
    • Grant Aleksander is a charismatic performer, but I never liked Philip very much. I thought he was a sanctimonious ass at times and also too intense for me. I do think they had a great opportunity for his 2009 return story at showing a man who had come back from the brink and wanted to reclaim his life. If the show had continued, I am curious to see what they would have done. The show's biggest mistake with the Spauldings was keeping Alan much too long instead of having Philip take his place as head of the family. Ron Raines was the luckiest man in daytime to last for 15 years. Alan should have died in the early '00s at the latest, during the Philip/Olivia saga.
    • Too soon to make any judgments about nuTed, but I will say that I think they should've gone older.  And I also saw some chemistry between Bill and Leslie as well lol but Bill's part in Ted and Leslie's affair/Bill and Ted's friendship needed to be established a lot sooner than when the reveal happened. Their relationship could be a really good counterpoint to the Duprees.   But I really liked the parallel that was drawn between Kat and Chelsea, and what their father's did. I like their relationship and I hope they go on to investigate Laura's accident. I just hope it doesn't come until something happens between Eva and Tomas.  Btw, Happy Birthday, Eva! A lot of birthdays today

    • I love you He’s definitely not for me. He comes across very meek. Trisha is going to eat this man alive in scenes.  Excellent scenes! Her damn nicknames be tearing me the hell up
    • Stephanie also was raped in college and killed her rapist along with the help of Chelsea.  It was an accident, but that's something the show has only touched on once or twice since AK took over the role. Very good point!
    • Robinson is less imposing than Johnson was and that makes the character seem completely different. If anything he came off as someone who could have played Doug. 
    • Exactly. That's a fertile ground, where a lot of drama could be mined from. That's a great idea. Especially since her kidnapping was a part of the Dimera/Kiriakis war at the time. Not only could it cause conflict between Stephanie and Alex/the Kiriakises, it could also be tied to both families trying to buy the hospital, and how that would make the hospital look, since these villainous families both want to own it.
    • Hmmmmmmm... I'll have to go back and check

    • @j swift @carolineg I was looking at some scenes on YT of Shelley's take on Stephanie.. and her 2007/2008 take on Stephanie was very spirited, bold, and confident.   I often think her ordeal in 2009 when she was kidnapped and kept in the morgue by that creepy guy probably did change her.. but I don't recall the show ever focusing on the after effects of such a traumatic event. In fact... her novel/manuscript should have been loosely based on that trauma in a fictionized account.  Maybe the rest of the manuscript will involve some of that.. but I doubt Ron C would ever think to include that event in a constructive way to explain the current behaviors/motivations of Stephanie.
    • All recast reasons aside I wouldn’t want to think about those first few years when Steffy and Bill were manipulating everything behind the scenes and the back and forth with Wyatt if I were Hope myself.
