GH: December Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

  • Members

Read SOD's best and worst. GH was named Best Show of 2010. Who agrees? Also the Robin/Patrick/Lisa story was voted best storyline. I would've agreed with that if it had ended the day Lisa was carted off to Shady Brooke! That said I do kind of like where things are going now with Johnny Skidmarks being involved. But Robin continues to just be unbearable throughout all of this to me!

Now that Kristina has moved on from what Kiefer did to her & is dating and going to school, etc, I am liking her a lot more. I really enjoyed her & Michael yesterday. I like Teen/High School story lines on soaps to, I know most people hate them but I think they are great when not to forced. I want to see GH go a little more into Kristina as well as Michael's life and tell more stories about them that aren't to heavy.

Michael and Kristina are such confused characters it's difficult for me to care about them. I know a lot of people care about Kristina because of Ethan, but considering most of the couples are so poorly written, I doubt they would be any different.

What were their reasons for giving Best Show? Considering how poor most of the soaps were this year, I can understand what they mean, but most of GH I just see as endless lost potential, and repeatedly bringing up stories they were too scared to follow through.

I actually didn't get the magazine, I just read on another board that GH got best show. Maybe someone else got it and can explain? Other nods GH got was best location shoot (Franco art show), worst new character (Claire), Biggest waste of talent female (Nancy Lee Grahn), Worst Villain (the Balkin), worst secret (What happened to Michael in prison?), and Most entertaining couple (Luke & Tracy).

I don't like Kristina/Ethan and I really hope GH doesn't do anything with them but I have a feeling they will and I hate it. Would really rather see Kristina continue to date Taylor, and Ethan with Maya! And Michael has been great with CandAbby!

That covers most of the year doesn't it? I can't remember what happened earlier in the year. I remember being confused and kind of surprised at how bizarrely they mangled Kristina's beating story. I wonder if SOD mentioned that.

Sonny shooting Dante was a good episode (too bad it didn't take...).

I think GH was pretty ok from Jan-June. Franco came back in July and that's when things started getting bad for me (though I loved the episode with his art show). Then August..

lol....knew you would be mad. I agree she became bad after she hooked up with Sonny. I loved her before though....it was great while it lasted. I like how she started out, & then how they slowly started revealing more about her with the baby stuff. Can't get over how great her and Lucky could have been.

I wonder if they have an allotment => X-number of entries from the highest profile shows. Goodness knows Claire hasn't been given the best stuff since the Sonny garbage and Brenda's return, but prior to that she rocked.

As for GH getting best show, even back in June around Emmy time there was talk that whomever walked away with the statue, it was GH's to loose. This might be some small compensation for that loss. We also have to remember these decisions were made probably 2 months ago in order to meet printing deadlines, and most of the soap press this year has comments on great improvements in GH over the past couple of years.

But isn't Claire the worst new character? She's nauseating the way she came on as this tough attorney and then because of some bullshit dimples all she lives for now is for Sonny to love her and give her a baby. I don't see what the agenda is, the character is revolting and sometimes insulting to listen to. The only one on GH that rivals her is Olivia, who was willing to let the guy that shot her son get away scot-free because she liked him.

I don't see any of the Fords, even the smarmy one, being anywhere near as pathetic as Claire.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse
