GH to go hi-def?

[rangethatrover]

Judging from the still photo I saw at DC I am getting an AMC "white light! white light!" vibe from this new lighting scheme. I guess anything is better than the yellowish unflattering "Easybake" oven lighting (per Alvin).

Hospital stories are a thing of the past on GH. I'm surprised they didn't make a new dock while they were at it. :lol:

[Ann_SS]

LOL! Everybody spends more time there than in their own homes.

[CSF]

I know. Like what is the dock in the middle of Port Charles or something? The only person who lives by it is Nikolas who has to sail off to Wyndemere when he wants to go home.

[Ann_SS]

The dock has been part of GH for a long time, but is out of control now. They need to set up a couch so people can have impulsive sex there. LOL!

Rebecca: "Wow, it's way bigger than I thought it would be. This is impressive. This is way bigger than I thought it would be......It's huuuuge."

[Michael Scott]That's what she said.[Michael Scott]

LOL, Toups. Anyone think that the rumors about BH being dropped to recurring along with GV are true? I think GV is likely gone, but they will keep BH to have a few warm bodies on the hospital set. I do think that they are turning BH into a more attractive Amy Vining.

Greg Vaugh is soooo outta there within a year, tops. I think Herbst is going to fly under the radar like Leslie Charleson has all these years...but you're right Ann_SS, the end game is for Elizabeth to be Amy Vining 2.0.

[Toups]

I think it's true. It's obvious Guza hates Lucky. And turning Liz into Amy Vining 2.0 is ridiculous. Becky is so beautiful and talented - what a waste. She deserves better.

[Ann_SS]

JC is definitely gone, but I also think that BB is gone within a year if they do not cast another 20 something female character.

I think that BH is lucky they built that new hospital set or she might have been out of there already. I think that Liz will lots more cast interactions than Amy, but it feels like she is sliding into a primarily supporting role where she will be angst for other couples and may have a minor romance or a sick kid story, but her days of a major story may be behind her. It doesn't help her to be saddled with those two kids.

Jason Cook and Brandon Barash are both decent actors whose characters possess potential for storyline. That's a common thread with all of the medical character, they all have stories left to tell (even Bobbie, heaven forbid a 56 year old woman got a storyline on ABC) but Frons isn't interested. It really makes me sick to see such wasted potential.

I agree that Rebecca Herbst is lucky they built that set, it's going to be her salvation, at least till her next contract cycle is up.

[CSF]

What a shame. Amy never, ever had a story. Just in the background as Laura's sister. I'm sure GH won't even bother to bring back Sarah Webber.

[Ann_SS]

I had a thought. BB may be saved if Johnny re-enters the mob.

I think that BH may have already signed a new contract so she likely safe for awhile. How long are the cycles that must run before they can fire an actor? I am always stunned by the actors that ABC wastes. EH and BM are discarded by AMC and go on to have success on Y&R. I bet Frons is not pleased when he sees getting positive attention in the soap mags and elsewhere,

[CSF]

No more MOB!!!

As for BH, I saw part of today's show. Are they trying to do a Elizabeth/Patrick thing?

[DaytimeFan]

Usually contract cycles run every 13 weeks. At each 13 week cycle the actor can be fired.
