GH to go hi-def?

[rangethatrover]

Mark my words; AMC, Days, or GH will win directing, writing, and show.

Y&R and OLTL will not be winning much

[Sylph]

Everyone knows that!

[Vee]

Yeah, that's what I need; Maurice Benard in high-def.

[rangethatrover]

If they were smart they would call in a bunch of dermatologists to the studio (daytimefan, are you listening?) They could have a big chemical peel/botox/restylane extravaganza for all the actors.

They are gonna need it with that murky lighting and hd combo.

Godspeed GH actors, godspeed.

Dinner place nipples for all!

[Cat]

Perhaps they will trot him out in the Juicy leisure suit once more. Giving rise to "those" pregnancy rumors again.

Hi-def is always better. Im surprised that after all these years Y&R is still the only soap broadcast in it. It looks so great when Im home to watch it than the SD feed. I hope more soaps follow

[cityfan01]

I. Love. HD. It's amazing. I literally sit in awe of Young and the Restless and remember the days of recording soaps off of fuzzy rabbit ears while I was in school. Congrats GH, I just hope you re-decorate some key sets before you do this.

[MarkH]

I mean, you can still see vestiges of the rabbit ears if you look at older Youtube stuff. Bad signals and VHS tapes... stubby little screens with the sides cut off :-).

Soaps look so cheap on an HD TV (Y&R excepted). So I'm hoping this will usher in a visually beautiful new era for the surviving shows.

[Y&RWorldTurner]

GH's sets need some major touch-ups, a complete overhaul wouldn't hurt either come to think of it. They also need to fix their lighting before going HD.

[Cat]

GH need to fix more than the lighting (although ITA). #1 on that list should be "Fixing the writing." #2 should be "Fixing TPTB."

[JackPeyton]

I actually think #1 needs to be the lighting.

then the HW, then the balance, then everything else..

[rangethatrover]

Good lighting can make the crappiest set look passable.

[Cat]

LOL, they do need to flick the dimmer switch up a touch. And throw out the flourescent bulbs which makes everybody look like they have yellow fever.

[DavidEvanSmith]

There are so many disclaimers in here it's just HYSTERICAL. It screams of wishful thinking.

First of all, I have so many doubts that BABY EMMA would make it into the opening. They change babies so rapidly, are we using the fat Asian baby, the more recent baby? How would the opening stay current?!

Group shots are worse because when ONE actor leaves, everything needs to be reshot. ALL the Quartermaines together in the opening? ALL THREE OF THEM?! The pairings swap up so much, will it be accurate to see Jax and Carly together a year from now, or Lucky and Elizabeth?

Whatever. Probably won't happen anyway.
