GH: May Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I think I am pretty open minded when it comes to GH. In the very same post I knock what I feels needs to be knocked, I praise what I think needs to be praised. And it isn't like I am like some others, clinging to one era and one era only as the only good thing to ever come from GH and yearn for the return of Claire Labine the way some wait Jesus to rise. I liked the Franco story, the Keifer story, and now Michael in prison. I dislike just about everything associated with Robin and Patrick; two of the dullest characters on TV portrayed by an actor with no talent and an actress of some talent but who isn't strong enough to resist his vortex of suck.

I try to see the merits to all the periods. Unfortunately, when it comes to Patrick, Robin, Lisa and Steve there just are no merits at the moment, and I doubt there will be going by the last five years of Robin and Patrick.

She returned with no storyline. Skye is one of my favorite soap characters but I wish she never returned. They had no vision for this and its obvious RC probably needed some money. Skye is absolutely useless as they are writing her

Oh ok.

And what was with BrookLynn asking Lulu to help her get a job singing at Metro Court? Didn't Carly already give it to her, or is this part of the plan? (If it is, I don't see what it will accomplish).

Random thoughts from my straight guy friend in a GMail chat:

"Him: whats up with his facial hair?

jeez

me: LOL

That's what everyone says

Him: and is he high or crying?"

Later...

" so it's a hospital run by the mob?"

I think GH was so much better in March and April. I think the show took a step backwards this month. Michael's prison story is a drag, and it dominates the show too much. Too many other characters are being shoved aside. I wish Warren Bauer had been utilized more, and I think the Shirley/Liz story has been poorly handled. Liz/Nikolas scenes turn me off. Lisa came back from jury duty and started getting in between Patick and Robin again. Patrick is really pathetic right now.

In March and April Nancy Lee Grahn and Lexi Ainsworth were great. This month they've been backburnered. Everything revolves around Chad Duell now. I think he's trying hard but is too fresh to carry the whole show. Dahlia Salem is the saving grace of the show right now.

I think Dante erred getting Sonny off and turning in Michael. I think the prison drama would have been far better if Sonny would have gone to jail.

    • Pretty accurate but I feel like most fans complain about the opposite of #2: they want more fresh blood. I myself do prefer the vets, but they're not sidelined... they don't have story but that's because no one has story. They get plenty of airtime though. That one feels more like a generic soap viewer complaint. The rest of this is very on point.
    • If this was a Ron episode, Sarah’s choking would’ve lasted almost the entire episode. Javi being revealed as a firefighter EMT and Sarah chastising Xander for wanting to go after Chanel/Sweet Bits the cliffhanger. I’m glad there’s actual movement and progression in these episodes. I vaguely remember Cwikly and Brash tenure being the same with their daily episodes 
    • https://www.tvinsider.com/1180503/denise-alexander-dead-general-hospital-lesley-webber Denise Alexander died March 5th & I'm so sad.  The first soap storyline I remember was Susan Hunter Martin (Denise Alexander) & David Martin & Julie Olson & poor little baby Dickie on DAYS.  I followed her to GH, Lesley.  I followed her to AW, Mary/Marisa.  I followed her back to GH.  About her, Christopher Schemering said  In soap magazine polls she was voted Best Actress over & over.  Schemering, C. (1987). The Soap Opera Encyclopedia. Ballantine Books.
    • Good point. In addition to being a great character in her own right, she had chemistry with almost everyone on the show. A Jake/Paulina/Iris triangle would have been a lot of fun. If 1994 AW aired in 2025, I doubt Iris would have even considered to be on the chomping block. All the shows now are noticeably less youth obsessed compared to the 90s.
    • I wrote my previous post about Dante being on a 3-day rant while I was at the 30-minute mark of the show. By the end, Dante was back to being reasonable and kind and understanding of everyone and everything. OK, I get it. We all knew that sooner or later we'd get the wise Dante. The mistake was showing him berate Jason IN THE SAME EPISODE and imply he's a lousy father.
    • I think Dante has a larger GH fanbase than both Ava and Nina character wise.  Both CW and MW have a built in fanbase outside GH which isn't really indictive of the characters, IMO.
    • Just this fan's opinion but I have said these writers are the most plot opportunistic maybe ever! They will have any character say just about anything if it advances whatever plot point they have in their minds atm. I think if Dante's POV right now was defensible people would be running it up the flag pole. The fanbase thing you're describing to me it just means they're going to continue to like their fave no matter what. 
    • I think the difference between the head writer change at Days vs GH is that the day to day episode quality at GH was still lacking while the day to day episode quality has improved. And now that there appears to be some depth to the episode content... the limitations of some of the performers on Days is more apparent (i.e. Leo, Alex, Sophia, Cat). However, Rome wasn't built/rebuilt in a day so I'm waiting to see how things are in three to four months once some of the threads/stories from Ron's era are tied up/resolved.. and Ford/Cwikly's long term content kicks off
    • That would be me. hehe. Keeping track of who I liked better and how it informed what would happen from episode to episode.
