GH - Week of November 5th Discussion


Recommended Posts

Brian Frons has basically said that JD looks like a younger version of KS, JMB a young GF and annointed them a supercouple following in the footsteps of Luke and Laura. All of that may have gotten to their heads a little bit. There's nothing amazing about Logan at all.

So far the character is defined by one thing: his determination to have Lulu and stop anyone who gets in his way. I fail to see any sort of spark with Lulu that doesn't make him interchangeable with any of the other guys that have the hots for her (then again I fail to see why the guys have the hots for her). Maxie should be the one the guys have the hots for simply because she's got more personality than Lulu who seems like she should be nursing a sick puppy back to health. Lulu's not believable as every young man's fantasy. She has no exceptional looks, body, personality traits or anything close to generate that kind of attention. She should be limited to two guys max.

I can see Logan and Lulu as Luke and Laura Round 2 or w/e....

Personally I like both characters and the people portraying them. They do have chemistry.

Maxie has a personality? When did that happen?

If Maxie has anything at all its an STD...and an obsession with Lulu. Hardly a personality.

I think it's more like she doesn't really have sparks with any of the guys and I wasn't open to her and Dylan so I probably didn't notice. I know I don't see anything with any of her other worshippers and I happen to like Johnny and so far he's not so much adoration of Lulu as he is about escaping and stopping his father.

Maxie has more than an obsession with Lulu and that was partially about her avengning her sister. She did go after Leyla last week so she does have that protective streak about her. Whether you want to call it a personality or not though, she is a more defined and complex character than Lulu is. Lulu basically wonders around doing stupid things--primarily the opposite of what people advise her to do. In some instances she is being independent which is all good since she is an adult, but more often than not she's not thinking and I can't quite label her motivation. Carly is at least thinking she's saving someone or catching someone whereas Lulu is aimless. They shouldn't build a show around her until they give her some real direction. If she's going to save Logan then let her do that for awhile instead of being an aimless center of attention.

i liked today's GH.

Maxie was the best again. I love how she points out the obvious. like to Lulu about how Nadine, who is in the same dress, is missing and maybe someone thought she was Lulu. Her telling Georgie they would be no help to trying to find Spin. I love this girl!!

can ric just die already? please?

NLG is amazing. why she isnt on lead idk...

i liked anthony z being all whack. its fun to watch and does show just how crazy he is. like a little kid.

i wish GH would give Kate more lines. shes a great char and MW is a great actress. but all she does is stand around next to sonny.

Carly out in the rain were great shots.

Scrubs little scene was also cute.

and Liz & Jason ... :wub::wub::wub::wub::wub:

hoiw great were those scenes with robin, patrick, alexis, ric, trevor... why cant GH be like this all the time?

wow. when did Emily become a sane person? wondering around a dark house with a killer on the lose in a blackout is crazy.

    • Charles Grant first appeared as Evan in September 1988. I was surprised to come across this item from December 1985, almost 3 years earlier: "Lots of action behind the scenes at Another World . . . I have bad news for fans of Christopher Holder (Peter Love). He will be leaving the show in the new year. I have heard that the producers are recasting the part and are also seeing actors for new roles. One of the main characters this spring will be Marlee [sic] and Victoria's father. The producers have been talking to Charles Flohe (John "Preacher" Emerson, Edge Of Night) about another new character to be featured. I will fill you in on the results as soon as I know." It seems obviously too early for anyone to have been planning to introduce Evan Frame. Based on the context he's not being considered as a recast of Peter. Maybe they were considering him for the character that turned out to be Neal, who started around the same time as Marcus Smythe as Peter?
    • Randall Edwards (and Brian Tarantina), with the opening night cast of 1985's Biloxi Blues, plus director Gene Saks and playwright Neil Simon.

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.
