I guess when you compare it to the old hospital set, it does look better. LOL!

Really? It just screams late 90's to me. Everything is just generically bland.

If you're going to revampa set, go all the way and make it differ in style and look from everything else you've got going on. GH, for all the money it gets, looks cheap.

AMC's hospital set is 100 times better than this new set.

It is, with the exception of the jungle hospital set GL has going on, every soap has a nicer looking hospital set than GH, IMO - which is a shame for a show with 'Hospital' in its title.

I have nothing to say, good or bad.

It's just... another soap hospital set.

Remember JFP's walk-and-talk hospital sets on AW? The fans revolted at the time - but really, it would work WONDERFULLY on GH. Like, it was made for that show. Why she took Bay City and tried to make it General Hospital... and then went to General Hospital and tried to turn it into Bay City (restaurants on boats, casinos, hotels) I'll never understand.

Well yeah, im gonna compare the two. lol.

I just dont think it looks cheap, and theres not much you can do to a hospital, IMHO. This set looks like something out of Greys, and IMHO thats a good thing.

Without a doubt.

I dispise Y&R's. Its like an old dirty cheap clinic. ATWT's set is just blahh. And B&Bs i couldnt tell you about. I also dont like OLTL's and idk why.

I love AMC's and Days' tho.

I loved that set. Say what you want about Jill, but she was the only one who gave a damn about AW's production values during its last years. AW still looked like an 80's soap until Jill came in and revamped a few things. Also, I loved the GL hospital set during her time there.

lol, so true.

i LOVED that hospital set.

lol, so true.

i LOVED that hospital set.

I did too. I understand why AW fans were pissed. Frankie was murdered. Michael was murdered. John slept with Felicia. Credits were ER-Lite. New hospital set and police station set at once was just salt on the wound.

But think how AMAZING that hospital set would have been at GH. It's baffling why she didn't try it.

Ehh, maybe it was because i was like 10 when AW went off the air so at the time didnt have a strong connection to the history - but i loved the ER style opening and the revamped hospital and cop sets.

also i never cared for frankie. i liked mcihael but didnt love him, and i enjoy john/felicia. of course this is all me looking back via reruns/youtube/the aw book/etc.. because again, i was like 8-10 watching AW and all i cared about was Amanda and her life. lol.

Credits were ER-Lite.

God, I can't believe AW kept that "You Take Me Away To Another World" theme and opening until 1996! Damn, even by 1989, that opening was sooooooooooo 80's. The ER knock-off credits might not have been my favourite opening ever, but those credits needed a serious revamp. It just shows the neglect that show was given that it had to keep an opening like the "You Take Me Away To Another World" one for so long and for that deep into the 90's.

That's cool. I'm just saying that overall, the mood on the web was "Why are you changin' my show?!" at the time. I kinda liked JOhn/Felicia too. (But I loved Michael and Frankie - especially Frankie). I'm just saying if you went to the message boards in the 90's, they weren't generally happy with the changes. So I didn't understand why JFP didn't incorporate them into a show where it made sense.

MSN TV: What are you most looking forward to with this new hub?

Jason Thompson: I'm really excited and I think it's a great set and brings good energy into an old hospital. It's not as claustrophobic. The old hub was one of the only sets that didn't move, so this is something

... more new and it's great. This one is bigger, we can play around more and cameras can follow us around and we don't have to stand around as much. I think it's just something new, even from the colors and the switch to HD. It's really some fresh air for the hospital.

What do you think it will mean to the viewers?

A great change. I think it's easy to get stagnant and along that same line for a while. This is a little bump in the road. I think it will be good.

You mentioned the move to HD, what do you think it means to the show?

I think it's going to be great, too. It's a great process and will look great and the crew is so well-trained and it will help put us over the top with the other soaps. I've always thought we have the best story lines and the best actors, and this will help raise the bar.

April 14th, mark your calendars.

I dispise Y&R's. Its like an old dirty cheap clinic. And B&Bs i couldnt tell you about.

Coming from the profession, Y&R and B&B have the most realistic hospital sets, particularly Y&R. You're right, it does look a little old, a little dirty and a little cheap in a clinical way. That's Reality. Welcome to Medicine.

Hasn't Y&R had this hospital set since the late 80's?

But, there's so many different parts to Y&R's hospital set. I notice whenever they use it, they tend to use different parts of the set. The set altogether must be quite huge.
