Members detroitpiston Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Interesting, but didn't they just repaint this one a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Well, it's about time they revamped their UGLY hospital set, but I don't know if I have faith in this revamp. I trust JPF with sets, but she hasn't done for GH what she's done for other shows production-wise. Also, losing that traditional nurses' station is like losing a piece of GH history, but we should be used to that feeling by now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 So... We'll have Lathamesque people talk in the elevator and while preparing coffee? Latham is taking over GH! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I'm guessing the old hospital has to be destroyed due to the airbourne toxin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I bet JFP is getting wet over this. You know how much she loves to update her sets. If it looks like the hospital set AW had under JFP, I'm okay with it. I loved that hospital set, even though you could tell it took up alot of space and people were meeting there for no reason other than it wasn't Carlino's or the Hospital. At least on GH, it will kind of make sense. I've often wondered why they never used PC's hospital wing on the days that weren't really hospital heavy, but they needed a hospital set. They could just easily use that smaller set and only bring out the Nurses Station when they need it. I can't wait to see how it all looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 From what I understand, the Hospital set (ie Nurses Station) is a permanent set. It isn't taken down or put up... JFP has done beautiful sets. I agree that her AW hospital set was terrific...the only thing that throws me is the 'usable space' concept...I hope the Nurses Station doesn't become claustrophobic...we'll just have to see, it's JFP, the woman is good at production, she's done wonders with little money at other shows...but this is Frons' ABC Daytime...so who knows...

Members LeClerc Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 On the show the Quartermaine's are paying for this project but I hope Jill Farren Phleps did the polite thing and sent Susan Lucci, Michael E. Knight and Ray McDonnell a note of thanks for funding this expansive new set. GH sure is feeling the budget crunch F U Frons! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jonathan Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 AMC's hospital set is the best hospital set in daytime, except for that waiting room area, where apparently you can look in at other patients and invade their privacy.

Members Sylph Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 And what kind of a reputation does Chip Dox have? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 I still maintain the best thing to happen to AW during JFP's year and a half there was her production. AW looked horrible until JFP came and revamped things. She might have concentrated on a few sets, but she made the show look somewhat lush, which it didn't look like before or even after she left. She might have fucked up the show story-wise, but at least it looked better visually than it had in YEARS. Her GL was beautifully produced as well. She sure knew how to work her way around a P&G soap budget and NYC studio space... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted January 30, 2009 Author Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Look at the newer sets on GH and all of the sets that were used on Port Charles, if you need proof of his work. Yeah, he isn't that impressive. However, who knows how he'll interpret JFP's vision, and I do believe this set change is mostly her vision - she LOVES stuff like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 So instead of big and ugly it's going to look cheap and claustrophobic, huh? Hopefully JFP will escape the GH stigma with this one; how tiny GL's budget will ever get, GH still has the trashiest sets of them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Didn't they just renovate the hospital? The set looks so different than it did before, warm, welcoming, comfy. It's the lighting of the set that's the problem IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members UKBoi Posted January 30, 2009 Members Share Posted January 30, 2009 Hopefully it's as nice as the AMC hospital set; I really love that one. But in all honesty, as long as it doesnt have the tiki hut island decor of Guiding Light's hospital, I'm okay with it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
