Out of these modern ones, I guess I have to go with the hotel fire because that was the first Irwin Allen type one so it had the biggest impact. Skye and Luke saying goodbye like something out of a 1940s movie, Nik on the roof as Emily takes off..there was some good stuff.

The Virus started out promising, the train treck too, but they both sort of fizzled by the end. I liked the Markaam Islands with all the old timers on the island and then Robin solves the whodunnit. Plus Tracy riding in like Cleopatra.

The Hotel was a dud. Everyday Mr Craig threatens to shoot someone in the head but winds up never shooting anybody. It was tough to take him seriously as a villain. The haunted house thing was ok sorta kinda, but to be honest I think the horror movie at the Q house a few years prior was better told (with Mary dressed llike Scream). The TMK was ok, but it only lasted a few days. Laura waking up was nice at first but them petered out. This most recent one with Laura and Scott was decent. I enjoyed it.

I will forever HATE the Metro Court Hostage Crisis....that storyline was the start of Guza's final plan for the destruction of not only the Quartemaines,but also Skye Chandler Quartermaine (the way she was written from choosing Lorenzo over Alan, and the rest of the Qs still to this day makes me sad..lol).

self-righteousness,

and hectoring.

And the Virus SL was great for four reasons.

1. Robert Scorpio talking about PC's "criminal element" and that in the event of an antidote, they should be the LAST in line to get it.

2. Carly trying to reason with a chimp.

"Jason. He's not listening to me!"

3. Sonny modeling a fetching, off-the-shoulder hospital gown.

He's smiling with his EYES.

4. Skipper finally popping her clogs.

    • Basic script work; if it hadn't been for Jane Elliot and Rena Sofer, it could've been for any random character.
    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
    • I think Hotel would have the similar demos as Dynasty W 19-49 would have been strong. St Elsewhere survived b/c it attracted wealthier/urban viewers and The Equalizer was probably stronger with men and younger viewers. So each had their own niche-good counter-programming. As for Aaron Spelling's influence over ABC in terms of scheduling, I don't know if he would have been happy with Charlie's Angels moving to Sunday, The Colbys scheduled on Thursdays or Matt Houston moved to Fridays. I think he just had to roll with the punches.
    • Thank you @Broderick. That information was so helpful. I watched the first episode of the "Mansion of the Damned" storyline. I was extremely confused by Margaret Colin's Paige and her relationship to other characters. Your post helps me understand what's happening. The rest of the show was easy to understand and I'm enjoying it. Hunter's Nola is a good character for me since I know Kim Hunter from other work.  I must have seen clips of Edge of Night before because I remember seeing April. 
    • How is it back tracking when it was in fact the word I originally used? It's not.
    • You know what is a great way to stop these unclear "rumors"?  Just stop posting them and then back tracking with words like "apparently".   Anyhow, I didn't find the Tracy/Lois scenes as good as I hoped.    
    • Jason, in thinking this over, I realize that we look at this space, differently. To me it is a potentially collaborative space. Now that I've realized this, what I should have said, "I'm having a problem because what I'm seeing is not matching up with your descriptions. Maybe these files I just got are misdated. Maybe it's something else. I will keep you posted. Meanwhile this episode, its edit, is ready, even though I might have to issue a corrected date later. But, people can enjoy the performances now.
