GH: Week of December 22, 2008 Discussion

I almost went into my ugly cry during that Robin/Stone scene. I screamed out "Stone!". I swear, when he died, it was like I lost a relative.

yeah I agree. Monday needs to be Scrubs heavy. I hate that the mob has become the main focus of this show. Remember when it use to play a supporting role? It gave the show an edge but it didn't suck the life out of it. Damn you, Guza & Co.!!! :angry:

Watching those flashbacks from the mid-90's totally brought me back to when I was a kid and came home from school and the first thing I did was tune into GH. It didn't feel like Robin was just any character getting married, it felt kind of like a big sister was getting married. A lot of us either grew up with Robin or watched her grow up, so moments like this are very special, IMO.

I would've also liked a Brenda mention, since Robin and Brenda were so close. Was there a Brenda mention from the failed Scrubs wedding episode? I can't remember, but maybe we'll get that on Monday. I hope Karen Harris writes Monday's episode, since Robin is her favourite character and all.

I agree, this is a special wedding. It's so rare that we get to a chance to see someone we grew up watching, get married. You just feel more connected.

When I saw Michael Conforti's in the credits, I was hoping Robin/Patrick wouldn't get married today. LOL I hope Karen gets it too, if not, at least give it to Michele Val Jean because they both wrote for Robin back then and it would be extra special for them to the honours.

LOL! Me too! It just doesn't feel right to me if Harris or Val Jean don't get to write the actual wedding. Those two should write the big historial stuff on the show, period. But then I saw they were devoting so much time to those nonsense storylines about Claudia, Sam, Sonny and Jason, and Robin was taking a good time getting ready. Knowing how much Guza loves to rush s-hit, I knew that today couldn't have been the actual wedding.

Robin and Patrick's wedding and the flashbacks are killing me. I was sobbing. All those memories of Robin when she first appeared on the show and then with Stone and the music was a beautiful touch. Patrick and Robert's conversation was so touching and full of love. It really does feel like a member of family is getting married. Jason Thompson and Kim are talented and under appreciated on GH. I really miss the Sonny that we saw on Friday with Robin.

Yep I remember it "very well" and actually it was more intriguing; I like mob but when it was low key, it made me thirsty for more...more curious. I remember when I watched this show..I couldn't wait

...I can't put my finger on it but I would say too much mob. Also, for me its sooo many characters and they are steady adding more...so cast heavy and then short plot pointed segments just puts my feet to sleep...

I don't think I can follow heavy duty plot pointed scribing with a lot of characters... I guess they can't just roll with the momentum of the moment...

Nomementum is huge for me in storytelling and GH falls flat on that also twists and turns...there are no WTH? moments. I didn't see that one coming

they have the promos that spoil a lot of story or in the rag mags...to bait and switch.

I LOVED Friday's episode. Finally a classic wedding between a supercouple in Robin and Patrick. I LOVED those flashbacks!! When Robin told Mac that she has HIV and (my personal favorite) when Robin first met Robert, I was tearing up as well. Oh wow, great job, GH. Can't wait for the rest of the ceremony on Monday =)

    • Nope, it was not just you, I had the same issues. Most either disagreed with me, or just ignored my comments. But, I most definitely would have liked for them to take another route, even to add sheer variety in the storytelling. It is what it is, the story is a hit with the fans...
    • You may be a casual watcher, but you got SO much right.
    • I've been eagerly awaiting Kate's first episode under the new writers, and I wasn't disappointed. I started reminiscing about all of Kate's misdeeds when she said how good of a liar she was and how she saw right through Roman's lying. I really buy this matured, but still wise Kate in 2025, and the fact that you know under the right circumstances, the more ruthless side is always there, under the surface. Hopefully, with Roman about to confess, we get the full truth about just what the hell happened with Johnny the night EJ was shot, then all the major suspects will be eliminated, just for the writers to throw in that wrench that's waiting for it's time to shine. Everytime Brady thaws even a little bit towards Kristen I immediately get concerned. I was entertained by their fight, and it was smart to mention Kirsten having no friends, let alone positive female relationships except for Lani in regards to why Rachel is such a loser. As a viewer, do you think Stacy Haiduk as Kristen was at all thinking about her former friendships with Jennifer and Billie in that moment? I wonder if she's even aware that they were, or who Billie even is. Anyway, I do wish Kristen could have also thrown in Brady's face that he's literally the biggest slut in Salem. Rachel seeing and possibly hearing about him going from woman to woman would also negatively affect Rachel's negative ideals about women, and possibly her own self-hatred. I thought Doug's favourite class being English lit was a good through line from how impressed he was with grandpa Doug's poetry book to Julie. Hearing he dropped out because no one at home cared just made me yearn for more information about Charles LeClair as a father and person. Maybe it was this time that Robert LeClair was dying so Charles was distracted and it all fell apart after that? Alex with Kristen today is the most interesting I've seen him written. He was smarmy and cold and for a quick second looked like he was enjoying playing with Kristen clearly throwing herself at him, but when she dropped her facade he became merciful, but still unwilling to budge. He would have fit in well in the more complex 70s era as a cad with a heart underneath his bravado. However, and I can't stress this enough, I absolutely despise whenever he calls Philip, 'Phil.' It just itches my brain in all the wrong ways.
    • Tamara Tunie said on her IG today that the current season of BTG ends at the end of August.  Then Season Two begins. https://www.instagram.com/p/DJkCcNQRxBR/ Edit:  I have more detail, but I'll move that over the the renewal thread
    • The biggest project in my professional life is on the horizon. Feeling blessed and excited. Creative energies are dominating my whole being.

    • This is what happens when you write for character over actor.
    • I assume Holly is Nicole's kid, right?  If so, the casting on the actress was spot on since she totally had some of Nicole's mannerisms/aura. Kristen is being shown as human again.. which we haven't seen from the character since Eileen's 1 year return back in the early 2010s. Kate is now running the Brady Pub?  
    • I think most people's knowledge of DNA tests comes from Maury. I dont think she nor most people would even think to consider genetic markers
    • Calendar year, at least going by when the Season Numbers have changed in the past several years on GH and on DAYS it's been calendar years. What their start dates are though haven't necessarily made inherent sense to me.  Hmm, interesting point. I'm used to being for underdogs, as well, but I am very invested in the Duprees.
