WOW. The first episode of the new season is like watching an entirely new series. Sri Rao made the right decision to get rid of 90% of the first season cast and the new additions are great, even though I preferred Dominic Rains as Leo Julian. My favorite newcomers are Claire and Kyle. That's a cute little friendship right there. And how interesting was the ending with Jagger's son?

What did you guys think of the new episode?

I liked that they didn't use the faux film look and instead made it look like a traditional cheaply-made soap opera. Nice, but aside from Antonio Sabato Jr. shirtless, it didn't keep me tuned in through even half of it. Though most soaps don't hold my attention these days :(

well i loved it.

This is how Patrick & Robin should be written. She is still a bitch, but not a total bitch like guza writes. she has snarky lines and whatnot but you can feel and see the love she has for patrick. she isnt shuting him out. shes just not 100% letting him in either.

I really like both Kyle & Claire. I love the conflict between Kyle & Leo. I was rathe rshocked that Kyle came out in the first episode. I figured we would see Claire fall for him and then it comes out. I wonder if thats the reason for the hate between him and Leo or if its other issues. I hope we find out more.

Speaking of Leo i also really like him with this new alt meds dr whos name ic ant rmember. I like the added part of her and robin going to med school together.

Jagger. That was awesome. Patrick+Jagger=Love! I also lvoed Jagger bringing his son, stone, to meet Robin. Looks like there will be some conflict between him and Robin in the next episode.

I also like Ep getting some love. And patrick as the COS.

I really enjoyed it.

LOVED Patrick and Robin...both made me laugh and their bickering was cute

Like Saira and really enjoyed the scenes with Robin. Hope we get more of that friendship

Looking forward to next week's show

Well I loved it. I thought it was well-written and well-executed, something I haven't seen on GH in ages.

I loved the little touches "Tania Jones Memorial Daycare Center," anyone?

Little Stone was adorable.

Jagger & Patrick had mad inappropriate chemistry.

And Robin? Well, this is the Robin I've been waiting 3 years to see back on my screen.

It's obvious that this, like the first GH:NS, is a rip-off of Grey's Anatomy. Thankfully without the wah-wah prog rock soundtrack.

However, I did enjoy it, even though I forgot about it 2 seconds later. I didn't have to try.

The production looked very different from JFP's version last year. It definitely had an NBC vibe to the filming (although not as bright as Passions, thank goodness). I'm assuming that might be de Cazotte's touch.

Best bit was when Jagger emerged from the shower. Then it felt like "real" GH! And Robin was great on this show -- liked the Robin of old. Like she had heart instead of constantly abrasive and snooty. Even with her bitchiness, there was vulnerability. The whole relationship between Scrubs was also a lot more tender and welcoming (they were never a couple I could get into on GH).

I cannot wait for Robert and Anna to show up. GH:NS would have benefited from Kelly and Lainey, though. BUt what it really needs is some other "golden era" GH characters like Jagger, Brenda (!), Lois, Lucy and others to show up because that IMO is when it has that special spark that is long gone from the mothership. I wish they would incorporate the remaining Qs on here. Tracy, Monica and Edward would be great foils to Epiphany, especially now that Dr. Ford is in the Great Hospital Waiting Room in the sky.

I'm wondering if this is a trial run to replace the Guza/JFP regime one day? It certainly is proof that, crashing car aside (which couldn't have cost that much), GH doesn't need fancy stunts and CGI and elaborate shoot-outs and other cost-heavy explosions and other devices. Just characters and three (even four!) walls and story.

I was up early, and flipping thru the channels because there was nothing on. I just stumbled upon the first 10 min of Night Shift, and let me tell you, it was cheezy as hell. The funniest thing was when the old dr pulled the piece of glass out of his neck. hahaha

Robert Scorpio is supposed to show up? He'll probably be kissing Robin's butt instead of catching criminals. This show is a waste and its completely a ripoff of Grey's Anatomy. They sould think about fixing the parent show before spinning off such krap. Sorry my opinion.

    • I can't watch until later (Canada issues). What is Philip's motivation for stealing the drug? Only plot I cared about today and you did not mention it 
    • Doug III’s first day of work. Hope he does a good job… or that Tate tries to sabotage him somehow

      His scenes with Holly were nice though. They’re sweet together and I understand why some people think that they have more chemistry than Tate/Holly do. And I liked that Doug III opened up to her about his past. Maybe that could lead to something good happening in the future.  I also enjoyed Roman and Kate, and how they’re both being tied into EJ’s shooting. The mystery of it all is really compelling. I don’t think Roman is the shooter though either.  I didn’t have much sympathy for Kristen though. She has no one to blame for Rachel’s problems than herself. But at the same time, I’m really surprised that Days actually remembered the Alex/Kristen fling. I thought Ron had erased that from existence. I’m not shipping them at all, but I’m definitely shipping a permanent end to Brady/Kristen but after today, I’m not so sure about that either.  And, Johnny and Chanel were still great together

    • Some country club revelation thoughts from a casual watcher no one asked for. The Great: Daphnee Duplaix gave the best performance we've seen yet. Nicole's dialogue was also well thought out and felt character specific. TJ Maxx Ted was also pretty good. Trisha Mann-Grant steals every scene she's in. Often without even trying. Carrying multiple episodes worth of exposition heavy soap dialogue with starts and stops and recapping and drama and humor is no small feat and she nailed. Vernon telling Lesliana to STFU.  The Bad: So much of the dialogue for the rest of the cast was overly written. Martin said "You are a vile human being with a hole in your heart!". Marty, what are we doing? It's SO dramatic and sounds so silly coming from this grown man. Do Bill and Hayley do anything but talk about the Duprees? And the nerve of her to get so excited to find out Ted is a cheater when she and her husband are too. There should be a hint of shame mixed in with your glee, ma'am. The Questionable: Coffee and a rendition of Amazing Grace after finding out Nicole was betrayed by her husband. The Duprees are an odd bunch. The stinger of one segment had Anita prepared to lambast Lesliana, when we came back someone else was talking. When Anita eventually said something to Wig, it was a lukewarm at best. And then of course she thought singing a song about something that should absolutely not be extended to her son-in-law. The entire family allowing this deranged woman to speech at them in their own was...nuts. I know she said something about what would the neighbors say but my GOD. Is she just going to be allowed to trespass whenever she feels like it now? The focus on Leslie and her wig usage as an oddity is...odd. I think Chelsea said something like "and she wears wigs!" (while wearing a buss down middle part). Okay? It's just not that odd for a black woman to change up her hair. It's the different names that's the problem. I know it's meant to be humorous, in a throwback soap kind of way, but it fell flat for me.  I'm sorry I find the whole family to be WEIRD. It's like they want us to see them as ruthless yet benevolent, open yet furtive, snobbish yet tooth achingly sweet all at the same time. I cannot get a lock on the family dynamics. Everyone is just there.  I'm gonna cry if this show doesn't start giving us ages (or close to it!) for these characters. Because if Eva is 21-22 then Martin was being given crayons, a soda pop and blinders when he was 15-17 years old. Martin had to have been under 8 for me to buy this story, which would make Eva and Kat late 20s (Martin is at least 35 since he wants to run for president), which I don't think they're meant to be. It's honestly minor but it bothers me. I've mentioned this to @Vee but I think the optics on opening the show with both sisters discovering their husbands of over 30 years are cheaters should've been considered. I doubt there was any intention behind it, no one's rubbing their hands together as they scheme to say the married black men can't stay loyal but how does it look? Maybe it's just me. Honestly it's probably just me!
    • Thank you very much!!!! I really appreciate it!!! I also have read the GH coffee table book from the 90s!!!
    • For a homeless woman, June sure has nice teeth. I agree Ted didn't bring the power in the fallout scenes but to can him and leave Tomas, Martin and Derek onscreen? i'm not looking forward to Martin's secret being revealed and have him flail in the spotlight scenes. Yes, he's got a little better, but... When someone like Timon delivers with every line reading, you wonder how some other casting decisions were made. And I need sunglasses every time characters are at Uptown-is that green paint left over from GL's Cedars Hospital makeover? And for the cliffhanger, instead of the Door dash nonsense, simply have Leslie encounter Vanessa on her way out and push past her to enter. As there is no front door have Leslie barge into the living room, with Vanessa following.  Then Nicole can tell Vanessa- it's OK she can leave them alone.
