GH: New Opening?


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I read on a site called Daytime Confidential that the show is getting a new opening:

I dont know how reliable this site is, but it does seem likely that GH would get a new opening considering it's had all new bumpers (ditto OLTL, which needs one badly...although I hope the one for AMC remains the same as it's the best fit for the series). I also suppose this means that Sarah Brown's newbie character is going to be hogging all of the airtime and that she'll basically be playing Carly (who, for me, left when Tamara Braun did...I've said before that Laura Wright, while fantastic, is playing a pampered Valley girl and that's NOT what Carly is), which is stupid for TPTB because she's one of those actors who sees themselves as 'above' daytime and only does it between jobs (Rebecca Budig, Tuc Watkins, Paul Leyden and to an extent Eden Rigel also fall into this category) and most likely wont even stick around past her initial contract, so putting her front and center is beyond stupid.

I also guess that means that Laura Wright's Carly will be taking more of a back seat (especially if she's not in the top 4 in the opening when previously she was second) and that TPTB will be devoting more time to Sarah Brown's Claudia character in her place. I also wonder what her presence will mean for Megan Ward's status on the show as Kate...it could be Reese Marshall all over again and totally reeks of what I think is going to happen to Melissa Claire Egan now that Rebecca Budig is back on AMC)

I agree, GH doesn't have a problem with letting talented actresses go...especially love interests for Sonny. Maybe now that Skye is away they could pair Ric with Kate, but I fear that Megan Ward join the list of actresses who are sacrificed for the sake of Sonny and Carly.

    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
    • Thanks. I must have missed that period entirely for Lifetime. 
    • Thanks. I know Marland did that type of thing sometimes but it's less likely with these characters. I don't even remember Alex ever mentioning him.
    • French fan summary Rusty took over Simon's job at Lewis Trucking after Simon transferred to Lewis Oil's North Carolina office to live near Jessie and Calla. I doubt they would bother following up a story for offscreen characters eg marriage and a baby.
    • I suspected that the performance with the reveal was the reason why the Ted actor got the axe and it looks like I was right. He wasn't really good at conveying what needed to be conveyed in those scenes. Claybon is at least slowly improving (but I agree that he still needs to work on his line delivery), but I do wonder what will happen when his big reveal is coming up. 
    • I've already asked this before, recently, but can anyone who watched those years more closely tell me if anything said about Jessie and Simon at the end of their profiles is accurate (about them marrying, naming a baby after Brandon/Lujack, etc.)?
    • Nicole is way too smart to not know she was carrying twins - she's a doctor! My guess is that Leslie did abort her baby out of fear, and as payback, stole Ted and Nicole's child (Eva), and stole Kat from another family to replace her in the hospital.
    • Those Soap Central profiles have a lot of incorrect info. According to SOD summaries and the Daytime Newsletter of the time,Tim left town for a new job and Pam reunited with the father of her baby and also departed Springfield.They did not marry.
