GH Relax & Relapse: Week 1 - Clink Boom!


Recommended Posts

Ok, as pisses as I am that they've mvoed the DAYS marathon, it's such a treat to see 'classic' episodes of GH. In the first few minutes of the first episode, we saw Ned, Lois (real Lois), Dara, Justus, Katharine, Luke, Laura, Sonny, Lily, Jax & Brenda.

Everything from the lighting to the dialog is just so much better. Smart move SOAPnet/ABC, remind longtime GH fans of how great the show was, and how much it sucks now!

:D

OMG! I was in heaven watching the first episode! GH will never be that great again, will it? :(

There used to be so much heart in this show, such a contrast to what it is today. Also, you can clearly see the differences between the Wendy Riche/Guza vision and the JFP/Guza vision when looking at these two episodes.

The scheduling sucks for Days fans, but I'm so glad we get to see episodes from GH at its prime again.

This is a good thing but did they really have to completely screw up their weekend schedule? Its one big clusterf-ck and they moved and shuffled everything and I dont know when things air now.

As for this Relax and Relpase thing, I didnt realize it was an ongoing thing. I wish tehy'd do this for AMC or OLTL bc these are the same episodes that always get rerun on SN. And what the heck does Brenda have to do with GH today? They pimp the hell out of her. Speaking of her, I hated that bitch during this return. She was my favorite GH character and Guza destroyed and ruined her for me. I wanted Skye and Carly to beat her smug, selfish, interfering azz down

And one more thing, Steve Burton looked so much smaller and more natural in the second episode and it was only a few years ago. The change is drastic. His body figure looked so much better then. He's too big now

As I said in another thread, it's so easy to spot the differences between the Wendy Riche/Guza relationship and the JFP/Guza relationship, by judging these two episodes. Riche and Guza's GH has a bigger sense of heart, community interaction, humor, and love. JFP and Guza share the same creative vision, which is why their GH is so dark and isolated. It's so easy to spot how and why Riche and Guza didn't get along.

I have to hand it to Riche with the mob stuff too. She never made the mob the whole damn show, like it is now. It was just one of the many layers of GH. Unlike Frons/JFP/Guza's interpretation, where it's basically the majority of the show.

It's pretty clear now that it was Riche who had all of that.

She needs to come back to GH and save it from the crap we're watching now.

I'm very sorry that I used to call her Wendella. I blamed the wrong person. Sorry, Wendy!! :(

    • I totally understand your sloths concern about it and I agree with you. Let’s hope the show plays it’s cards right.    Further comments about the last few episodes: - I liked that one of the attendees was filming the scene. That’s realistic. I wonder if the writers will follow up with that.  - Martin and Smitty trying to drag Leslie out was very heteronormative, so perfectly in line with them two as characters lol.    As for the future: it’s obvious the Duprees will come to accept Eva one way or another, but the rivalry with Kay should be here for the long term   On the topic of acting: the only bad actors I’m seeing are Ted and Derek. Tomas hasn’t proven to be either good or bad, so far, but he’s certainly mediocre and uncharismatic. He sucks the energy out of the scenes and I don’t see any couple of women ever vying for him. 
    • I’m trying to think which actors VW were working with at the time, and none of them had been there for a while. Even like Mac and Ada didn’t have that big of a part in Rachel’s storyline.  And Jamie was involved with all that movie stuff.
    • Brooke did ads before ATWT too. That probably helped get her the job. After ATWT she seemed to branch more into hosting, along with ads.  I think I saw Kelley in an ad or two, but you're right she wasn't on as much. 
    •   Thanks for sharing these. I wonder if Charles might have been in the running for Adam. I know Preacher was a bit of a bad boy at times on EON, but Neal seemed to be a step down, and Robert Lupone had played a similar part on AMC. Given the huge cast turnover at this point I wonder who thought they had been there long enough to go.  Laura Malone/Chris Rich would get a remote within the next year. 
    • Interesting.  It seems to allude to that statement that Warren Burton made around that time about some AW actors getting special treatment.  I wonder who was resentful about not getting to go. 
    • Good morning, boys!  I figured that it was time that our Gio was introduced into the hotness thread

    • Under all of Madonna's social media today there is this wave of negative, toxic, absurd comments by Lady Gaga fans telling her how Gaga surpassed her in concert in Copacabana. I mean... Who the hell cares? Why are these fan communities so freaking toxic??? I'm sure Madonna doesn't care... But still. Have some respect for M. Leave her social media alone. Go cheer Gaga and be happy. Why come and spew hate on M??? Crazy world.
    • FYI, again, Ruth/Letitia is not in either of these 2 episodes. So that concludes the 4 episodes I had from Nov. 1983. I don't have the October episodes.
    • Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.
