GH: September Discussion


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Speaking of Ethan... what is the point of this character? What was the point of him coming on in the first place? Titillation for Geary? Giving Greg Vaughan a big "F U"? Now he's playing a carnie alongside recurring regular Coleman -- who is getting more face-time with NLG and Mo than in Teethan's wet dreams.

It's funny -- I am enjoying the "Cataclysmic Event" but if I never see Ronald SpinDonald, gulping Rebecca, Sam's nipples straining against her Gap tank-tops, Cotton-mouth and SkunkLu ever again, it won't be a day too soon.

I agree that Nik's revenge is to garner sympathy for insipid Rebecca but I can't stand either of them though so whatever. Dark Nik sucks, what kinda fool tells what his intentions are to an enemy? Plump idiot. And I'm not feeling Nik/Liz either. GV needs to go to primetime, keep trying out for shows man.

Spixie irk me greatly. Their kisses are gross enough without clown makeup added into the mix.

Lulu's pairings all start the same, cat and mouse crap. I'm tired of it cause she's not all that. So Dante is wasted here imo and I have yet to see JMB spark with anyone.

I think I might be into GH until the end of this week and then I am gone. I'm tired of the endless Lucky crap, I hate Jasam, I loathe Sonny and Olivia, carly and Jax zzzz, Spixie is a joke, and nothing interests me. If they smarten up and decide to make Rebecca EMily, hook her up with Lucky and trash Nik and Liz, I'll come back. Lucky and Emily were always the pairing I wanted on this show for yearss, not Nik and Emily or Nik and Liz or Liz and Lucky. Not counting on it though.

Ethan? Who knows.

Thanks, Ann, for Jason's history. I do remember the whole Susan/Alan story well.

I thought today's episode was pretty damned good. Does the quality always vary this wildly? I was glued the entire time. I have zero complaints and I look forward to tomorrow's episode. For some reason, the montage today seemed better than yesterday -- I haven't a clue as to why. But it was a good, really good show for me.

More like they are both heavy HGH and PED users with their swollen heads and chests. Tyler Christopher's head would give Barry Bonds' head a run for its money. I'll give Steve Burton credit for looking better than TC who is a bloated mess.

I always wanted original Lucky and Emily to fall in love and be together forever.

JaneAusten, you can't stop watching GH. It is a "I wish I could quit you" situation for me so I need the company.

If you saw Jason and Nik a few years back you'd understand. I think Steve B is actually in better shape than he has been. TC is terrible out of shape or just too stocky. But there are days when his head seems much to big for his body. that's most days. I'm just tired of JFP picking on the actresses when there are only about 2 or 3 decent looking in shape men on this show and it's not the lead characters.

I can't watch Nik and Liz. Both characters nauseate and repulse me especially together.

Exactly. Other than Greg Vaughan, the GH men don't even work out. Maurice Benard is solid shape for a man his age, but he doesn't even work out. Ron Moss who is older than him has crazy abs. Ingo hasn't hit the gym in years. Jason Thompson. Brandon Brash and Bradford Anderson obviously do not work out. Steve Burton almost had a double chin a couple months ago before he went on the steroids. Both Burton and Christopher are no longer anything near the lean built guys that they used to be and yet they are still leading men. Phelps would NEVER let her female actresses gain and lose weight over the years like they have. She micromanages to the point that she made Laura Wright start straightening her hair. No female actress on GH could look bloated like TC and not be fired. Yet the men get away with looking sloppy and out of shape so I am commenting.

I do a lot of fast forwarding. It is one way to go.

I liked the drama that the accident caused. I felt so bad for Molly when she was screaming for her big sister. That little girl playing her just rocks. The young dude playing is pretty good too.

Who's this Louise chick? I think she was pretty hot, but I'm going to need to see more of her....she wasn't on enough today. Why was she with Max at the carnival?

I get what GH was going for when they had Jason walk around for like a minute while that song was playing in the background....but I couldn't help but laugh at "broken hearted Jason." :lol:

The Johnny/Spinelli/mob shootout was so unnecessary. What was good about the carnival was that it was about family drama and not some stupid mob shit. If Guza would minimize the mob to like it was in the mid 90's and focus on family drama, Guza could try to redeem himself for 2003-present and 1999-2000.

Anyway, GH has their Best Drama, Directing reel with this episode.

Gawd, I hope that OLTL uses yesterday's episode for its Emmy reel and kicks GH's butt.

Jason's walk of pain was hilarious. I could not stop laughing. He is so pathetic.

The actress who plays Molly is a find.

The woman with Max is Louise the new ADA.

    • I think she left before Justin. I remember someone saying her last scene is dancing with Ross at the ball, telling him she's leaving to be with Ben.
    • What a wonderful photo! It really is a shame that Peacock will not show those early years. I know I'd love to see them!
    • With the death of Days and GH actress, Denise Alexander, someone posted this in the Days thread, a '60s-era photo of some of the cast, which lists the names. In the upper left, is a young Susan Flannery, who obviously ended up playing Stephanie Forrester on B&B, who was one of a few actresses to play Dr. Laura Horton [mother to Mike and Jennifer Horton] on Days.

    • Sorry, there must have been a error, while creating the file. I redone it and it has audio
    • Tamara Tunie was on a local CBS affiliate in Baltimore the other day talking about a few things she had going on, BTG amongst them: "Beyond the Gates" star Tamara Tunie is in Baltimore for the Reginald F. Lewis Museum's 20th anniversary
    • Kobe/Long had their own template and pretty much gutted the cast. As soon as contracts were up established characters were dropped. They needed to free the budget for the new characters. Going back to Ann,I wonder why the Dobsons renewed her contract around 78? After her initial story she became supporting and they didn't seem to want to pursue a romance with Mike. Maybe the feedback was that viewers blamed her indirectly for Leslie's death. If Mike hadn't taken on her case etc. Did she decide not to disrupt her son's life? Seems odd after everything she didn't claim him back. 1976 continues... Joe Werner is just not bouncing back after his recovery as he should, and Sarah, concerned about his sometimes morbid-seeming depression, consults Justin Marler. They agree that Joe is becoming a “cardiac cripple,” and know this kind of overcompensation for illness and overprecaution can not only be a permanently depressed condition but can actually cause a setback for him physically.  Marler releases Joe into Sarah’s care, but it’s soon apparent that just being out of the hospital hasn’t done anything to boost Joe’s spirits about his return to a normal existence. Marler finally lays it out to Joe—the choice has to be his. He can choose to lead a normal, productive life as a doctor and as a husband to the best wife he could have, or he can choose to become an invalid and live on the outside looking in for the rest of his days, sentencing Sarah to the same fate. Realizing the selfishness of what he’s doing to —Sarah as well as the narrowness of the confinement he’s set for himself, Joe begins to see his preoccupation with his illness as the self-pity it really is and decides he’s ready to return to the hospital for a one hour shift each day. Sarah is overjoyed by his turnabout, but full happiness is hers on the day she overhears Joe telling a fearful patient that the world is beautiful and worth any. effort to get back into it. Steve and Adam are thrilled to learn that Cedars has been the recipient of the Levy Grant for expansion of hospital property. But they have learned, as they report to Ed, that the land they were hoping to build the new research facility on, the land immediately adjacent to the hospital, has been purchased by Dr. Justin Marler. Both Adam and Steve feel that Justin is expanding a power base at Cedars and the land purchase is just one more block in Justin’s power play. When Ed asks Marler why he purchased this particular parcel of land, Marler explains that he bought it with the express intention of someday building his own offices and facilities convenient to the major facilities of Cedars. When the subject of the hospital’s needing the land arises, Marler meets with Adam, and they agree that he should realize a fair profit from his property and that an unbiased assessor should be engaged to evaluate the market value of the land so they can agree on a selling price. When Sarah comments on the fact that Marler is to realize a profit on the land, he bitterly replies that no matter what he’s done since coming to Cedars to prove that he has changed. since she last knew him, she refuses to see him as anything but what he was all those years ago. Sarah insists this isn’t true. But Marler then calls Adam for a meeting and informs him that the land is not for sale at any price. As Adam begins to grow alarmed, Marler continues that the site for the new building will be his personal donation to the hospital. As Adam expresses profuse thanks and appreciation, Marler wryly notes that the tax deductions he’ll realize on this contribution to a charitable institution will benefit himself almost as much as Cedars. When Steve Jackson learns that Marler is to be elected head of the research wing that will be built on his property, he expresses the conviction that this was the exact intention of the gift. Adam, however, assures Steve that the donation wasn’t a factor in the hospital  board’s decision, they were concerned only with Dr. Marler’s reputation as a doctor. | After lengthy consultations and meetings. with the hospital  staff, Ed assured by the head nurse that her nurses performed commendably despite the added pressure of the train wreck, presents his findings to the hospital review board. Steve arrives at two possible explanations for the facts. Either Grainger, more active than usual due to the previously delayed medication, reached for the writing pad and inadvertently disconnected the breathing tubes, or he was in a state of extreme upset because of the delayed medication and.in the excitement a surge of adrenalin within his system caused his brain aneurism to start hemorrhaging. " Upon learning that the review board has ruled out negligence in Grainger’s death, Ed tells Rita, who takes her first free breath in a long time. But Ed hasn’t thought to tell Rita that he’s been in touch with Grainger’s attorney, Mr. Schafer, who, knowing that a woman was at the base of Grainger’s investigation, is coming to Springfield to try to find out who the woman - was who walked out on Grainger when he collapsed —in the restaurant. Peggy, learning that Rita’s “forgetting” to deliver Holly’s message was instrumental in their divorce ‘being finalized, tells Ed that Holly wanted to reach him to stop the divorce. Immediately after, Peggy is torn by doubts, wondering if she did the right thing.She confides in Barbara, who then discusses the situation with Ed. He tells her he and Holly have discovered a new closeness now that they are building their separate lives. Barbara quickly contradicts him: Holly is not building a new life. Barbara gently cautions Ed, saying, “People change, feelings change, and what seems right now may not be right a year from now. No decision is irrevocable.” Ed agrees with this. Now that Ben has declared his love for her, Hope finds herself apprehensive, fearing that she might be making a mistake, as she did a few years ago, when she was sure she was in love with her college professor. Explaining that she doesn’t want to make another mistake, she asks Ben to be patient, and he agrees. When Mike expresses his disapproval of Ben’s overstated independence, his need to be beholden to no one, Hope quickly jumps to Ben’s defense, and Mike apologizes. But Ben, surprisingly, accepts Mike’s assessment as constructive criticism. Later Hope, examining her feelings and desires, tells Ben she does love him and wants to belong to him. Later that evening, after they’ve made love, Ben asks Hope to marry him.And, delighted, she replies that she will. At Hope’s instigation, Bert has a family dinner to which Ben is invited, and Hope announces their intention to marry over glasses of wine. Mike politely offers best wishes while Bert thrills the couple with her offer to' make a Christmas wedding for them. Bert later tells Mike he must accept this engagement with good spirits for Hope, and later, seeing the joy she’s feeling, he gives his daughter his approval. But Ben finds another problem on his very own doorstep: his brother Jerry, who announces he’s left home after several bad fights with their parents. He refuses to tell Ben what they were fighting about. As Ben is showering, Jerry borrows his car and goes out for an hour. The phone rings, but Ben can’t hear it. Shortly after, two uniformed officers visit Mike at home to tell him that his late wife’s car has been involved in a delicatessen robbery earlier in the evening. Since Ben bought Leslie’s car, Mike accompanies the officers to Ben’s apartment. Ben curtly informs the police that he had nothing to do with the robbery and makes it clear that he feels they wouldn’t be there if he didn’t have a record and that his exoneration doesn’t prevent his being hassled like any ex-con,as they tell him he has to go to the police station for questioning. Hope tells Ben she called him earlier, and when he replies that he must have been in the shower, she accepts his word unhesitatingly.Jerry finally returns to Ben’s place and under questioning from Ben admits that he robbed the store,explaining that he has debts. Ben is now in a quandary,as he feels he must protect his brother but doesn’t want to be unfair to Hope. He tries to ease the situation by withdrawing $185 from the joint checking account he opened with Hope and repaying the delicatessen owner. He then sends Jerry out of town to stay with a friend. His relief at having solved the problem is short-lived, however, when Mike informs him that, despite the reparations, the robbery was a felony and the police will continue to investigate. Hope is badly upset to learn while making a deposit that Ben withdrew’a sum which Mike tells her is equal to the amount stolen. This shakes her belief that he _was really home when she called, and she goes to him, asking for an answer to put her mind at rest. Ben can’t betray Jerry and asks Hope to trust him, promising she will have the whole story eventually. But Hope can’t accept this; she needs complete honesty and openness in her relationship and without it cannot goon. She painfully tells her father that the wedding is off despite her love for Ben, and tells Bert to stop preparations. Mike goes to Ben, reminding him that half the money in the account is Hope’s and she has the right to an answer. But Ben won’t say any more and refuses Mike’s offer to represent him legally, again stating that he doesn’t need a lawyer, because he’s done nothing wrong.     
    • And not since. I recall it was quite small for a house that size. And I don't know why you would walk down a narrow corridor to get to the main living area. I hate when the sets on soaps don't have a logical layout! As for Andre his clothing is fashion forward and suitable for his character.He ain't gonna wear no blazer!
    • The last I remember seeing Ben, he was divorcing Amanda. He came to tell Evie that he still loved her, but was leaving town so that Amanda wouldn't blame Evie for his divorcing her. I'm not exactly sure when, but Evie doesn't leave town until sometime after Nola and Quint's engagement ball. I'm not sure if she leaves before or after Justin leaves in Sept(?) of '83. I grew to like Helena when she became friends with Vanessa, once she's edging her way out of Quint's life.
