Members bellcurve Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 LOL. And +1 But these aren't Labine episodes, are they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 I can never tell the transition years between Labine and Guza... well, until Click-Boom, that is. Harumph. I guess it makes sense that the Gooz would never let that woman's Brenda stuff air while he's around. You know, I like Brenda and all, but I miss that AMC isn't on. It has been a pretty great watch lately. Although I haven't seen yesterday's Kendall episode yet (somebody whose absence is NOT missed on my part) so... famous last words.

Members All My Shadows Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 I like the titles on the screen too, but I was kinda hoping they'd leave it alone and play the full screen credits just so I can hear a snippet of FOTH. And when I say plastered on the screen, I really mean it, too! For a few seconds, half of the screen was covered in writers' names. I'm pretty sure they'll just repeat this GH episode again tomorrow. At least I hope so. I watch AMC on the New Orleans station, but if I miss it, I catch the day-behind on the Baton Rouge station. They were the appropriate credits (Riche was credited as EP), but just formatted in the way the current credits are. The HWs were Richard Culliton and Karen Harris. This episode is decent. I was looking forward to it because I loved the Christmas episode SOAPnet showed a few years ago, but this one isn't as good as that one was. It's still all right, though. I think I like this era of GH. It does a body good to see Anna Lee sitting there all refined in her wheelchair. She's too cute trying to ad lib small talk with John Ingle while they wait for the wedding to start. Just give me a f'n AMC marathon soon, and I'll be all right. And don't be afraid to show some old school Erica. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Alan and Monica Never really cared for them but they were GH icons. Its criminal what was done to them Seeing Lucy makes he realizes how much the show is missing not having her around. It needs her quirky sense of humor and energy Bobbie and Tony were married 8 years? Thats an eternity in soap years and unheard of today Real Carly. I miss her Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wow RealEmily and RealCarly on the same show. Nice to see a Carly that isn't smug and smirky 24/7, and a actress playing Carly that can act her ass off Bobbie, Ned, Alan and more. This is GH.

Members MichaelGL Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Chirs Whitesell was HW? How was his tenure perceived at GH? This era of GH always intrigues me because it existed between two (alleged) golden ages of GH, Labine and Guza's. Makes one wonder what would have happened if either writer (Culliton or Whitesell) was given more time to write for the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Chris Whitsell is underrated, IMO. He is a jobbing HW for transition periods, kind of like Beth Millstein and Carolyn Culliton. However, he has done solid work (I thought) for longer periods at Sunset Beach and Days. Of course, he really cut his teeth over at AW, during a golden era of the late-80s-early 90s. A good foundation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Whitesell and Icabuzio (?) were fill-ins while the show was waiting for the iconic Luza to return. Their work was judged harshly during that period, especially the Tin Man story, and I can see why, but it was better than pretty much anything Guza has done since. Culliton was also frequently derided for not being able to compare to Guza. The idea was that Guza would return to the show and it would be a paradise again.

Members bellcurve Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Can longtime GH fans fill me in on something...was the 2PM EST episode exactly the way it played out when it originally aired or did ABC add in clips, generic music and completely butcher the episode? I have a hard time believing Stefan and Katherine were the only other story that day and only having three scenes too?! I also have a difficult time believing Wendy Riche would ever approve such dreadful background music for those flashbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 The marathon has just started here for me, WOW this is better than I thought it would be. Was to young to watch this episode of GH, so this is pure awesome seeing how it used to be. I love Brenda/Jax! Everything was so different back then!! Jax used to have a little English accent, what happened to it LOL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Here's the recap for the 2 PM episode. http://www.soapcentral.com/gh/recaps/1997/970922.php#wed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 As I suspected, they really butchered this. Why even leave the Stefan/Katherine stuff in at all? They should have just gotten rid of that and V/Jax stuff completely and re-edited full Sonny/Brenda clipshow. The re-edit didn't bother me nearly as bad as the shiteous, generic music(aside from the S&B Theme). Awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted August 10, 2010 Members Share Posted August 10, 2010 Wow...I don't remember Steve Burton being that thin in 2002. Oh [!@#$%^&*], there's Courtney Matthews. This is the height of the Drab 4's takeover of GH. The opening even ended with the four of them dancing and kissing. Vomit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
