GH makes offer to.....


Recommended Posts

I it would be a worthy conclusion to Sonny's reign in Port Charles, and finally give the Brenda character her final closure, instead of always revisiting Brenda and her relationships on the current canvas.

Plus it is always nice to see Vanessa back on our screens. It still makes me sad that LV refused to let her out of her contract for Lila's funeral to honor Anna Lee.

OMG this is awesome. GH should do WHATEVER it takes to get her, the daytime genre is not what it was in 2003 (or was that 04) when they couldn't meet her demands. And given the way GH has been free falling (despite being watchable IMO) they should stop at no cost. Marcil should jump on this boat... Hope it pans out.

If BrenDUH comes back.....well let the holier than thou pontificating begin!!! Please keep her off General Hospital! We already have two skanks there (Claudia and Sam). We don't need to make three a crowd by adding Ms. Wraparound Barrett!

I have never liked BrenDUH and hope she never returns to this show.

Of course she did not deserve it. She only won because the judges felt sorry for the way ABC treated her :rolleyes:

As much as I dislike about 90% of ABC's decisions, they were right on the money to deny her request of making more money than Tony Geary all the while having a reduced work schedule.

You also got to love how she made a big fuss about wanting to spend more time with her son, yet she hops on a plane to Africa the first chance she gets

I loved Brenda's return story. Vanessa did get some meaty material. I loved her chemistry with Steve Burton, and loved where that storyline was going. She shook so many things up with her last return. Guza and Pratt were still doing well at that time IMO. Either that, or MMT's reign had diluted my view of GH to such an all time low I was still jaded by Guza and Pratt.

The story only fell apart after Vanessa announced she was leaving again. Were her demands out there, yes. The bottom line is that she did cause ratings to soar. The show did return a little to its mid-90s greatness. For the most part, the canvas was still pretty balances. The Q's got some great airtime, including Ned who I think was so badly backburned. It was all in good preparation for the 40th Anniversary of the show.

The only two bad parts IMO from that time was Kristina Wagner's unceremonious dismissal, which I still think was a huge mistake; and, Skye and Jax's romance disintegrating because let's face it, Ingo and Robin were on fire.

I enjoyed VM when she first started on the show. If they brought her back it should be to escort Sonny out of Port Charles, but I could see her coming back even if MB did not leave. She could add more conflict to the Jax/Carly marriage, throw a wrench in the Liason pairing, could be propositioned by Claudia to help bring down Sonny and she could be there to help Robin with the baby....

I do not agree with VM's Emmy win and I think GH had every right to deny her request. I also wish the show would bring back Genie Francis, especially with whispers that Tony Geary is looking to retire. Luke and Laura should go off together

    • They had a Liam/Hope montage today supposedly about all their times together but it was only Annika's Hope and no scenes from Kim Matula's Hope.  I realize they probably didn't want to restage those scenes with Annika. But still it was weird to omit the Italian wedding.  They could have thrown in a Puglia scenery pic without the actors.
    • I haven't watched today's episode yet, but maybe that was the point. Maybe they're trying to move Ted in a more unlikable/villain direction and it wouldn't work with the previous actor. Or maybe it's just that transition phase which will take some getting used to. 
    • Thanks to the benefits of watching the last weeks of Sherry's stint as Liza and the start of Louan's stint as Liza... I can safely say that Liza would have remained the lead heroine had Sherry stayed on as Liza.   Charisma is a mighty important element that makes someone watchable and likable... and Sherry had that. No disrepect for Louan because she was a good actress.. but to me, she played a more passive/neurotic Liza vs the more confident/decisive version of Liza.  I think the Liza vs Estelle over TR story would have had more impact with Sherry in the role..imho.
    • Welcome @SoapCurios it is nice to see new people here. Many episodes from The City still aren't available, but if I find any that touch on Azure's story, I will post them.
    • I'm not invested in Ted as a character anymore either. He's not the same.
    • I have a feeling it was either coincidence or it was an idea whose time had come. Remember Bill Bell was also into the psycho-sexual. So it was happening more than one place. Pete Lemay began disagreeing with Irna quite early on. He shut up & listened at first, naturally because he had to learn the basics. But, as soon as he had, they began to have arguments, disagreements. They both were devotees of character-driven but the similarities stopped pretty quickly. Bolin as far as AW was concerned was nuts & bolts, or more $$$. It was all about the numbers. And the numbers were great, double the ad revenue & that went to the network. As far HTSAM was concerned, that was her baby, no one else's. It is so funny to me that Lemay started this by accident.

    • What did you all think of Hogan/Patti compared to the stuff with Liza and Sonny? Did you buy anything about Sonny and Bela? Has a recast ever decentralized a character as much as Sherry's exit did with Liza? Or do you think that would have happened even if Sherry had stayed?
    •     I think the three comments pretty much summarize my thoughts. The green is not pleasant. I think I know where they were going with it, but it doesn't translate on screen.  The bar at Uptown is actually pretty good. It's my favorite part. I totally get it having an East Coast vibe. I used to frequent a place like it and while I wouldn't necessarily call it pretty...it was a bit Kitsch but it had a vibe. This place is lacking the vibe. I know it's not easy to hire extras, but even having a karaoke night in the background or live music would change the whole feel.  Vernon and Anita having breakfast there was a great idea. Another place besides the country club where they could talk. However, why were they using country club china at an establishment like Uptown. It just seems a bit confused. I don't understand what it's supposed to be.
