Members titan1978 Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 I’m pretty sure you are correct, the first part of the intro, when the first cast shots are shown (Steve and Audrey), that first part of Autumn Breeze is incorporated into the theme. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 I always thought so, it's a lovely touch. I'm pretty sure that same mix of both is part of that emotional piano cue the show still plays from time to time. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris 2 Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 I remember reading at the time that it was kind of an unwritten rule among the various executive producers that no one was going to change the intro. I agree with the poster who said they should have just re-recorded Autumn Breeze and filmed/taped a new shot of the ambulance approaching the USC medical center. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 I think that cue was created when JFP was there. She likes the theme music to be included in the score. Her intro also has the first couple of notes of Autumn Breeze at the beginning, in wailing saxophones. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 Well, the JFP/Guza-era intro theme from 2004 was also just a rock and roll version of FOTH, so yes, it has the same Autumn Breeze intro FOTH incorporated. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 That early 90s era of GH always had people doing cheesy pop singing, even before the Ned days. I don't remember the specifics off the top of my head, but I have memories of various people singing at the Outback way before Ned and Miguel. It was always horrible and cheesy lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 I do! I'll never forget this. It won't embed, so the glory has to be viewed up close! Finola Hughes' expression throughout is incredible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 How could I forget! I don't know how any of them kept a straight face. This and Luke and Felicia's singing at the Nurses Ball one year are truly the nadirs of my GH viewing. Few things reach the depths of those two moments. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 23, 2022 Members Share Posted March 23, 2022 (edited) I try not to think about the Luke/Felicia number from 2001, no matter how much a certain friend trolls me with the video. The image burned into my brain, though, is Felicia dancing around her living room bowlegged caterwauling "Swannee River" rehearsing for it beforehand. I love Kristina Wagner again today even though she's no thespian, but in those days with Luke Felicia was utterly unbearable and adding singing was the stake in the heart.

Members titan1978 Posted March 24, 2022 Members Share Posted March 24, 2022 It was pretty cheesy in the 80’s too IMO. Frisco the singing cop/spy. Didn’t Terri Brock sing as well? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted March 24, 2022 Members Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) There are at least two iconic scenes of Terri singing that spring to mind. 1) It is day of her wedding in Laureltown, Anna is at the train station trying to get to the chapel to warn Terri that something is wrong in this little town, when Terri (under the unexplained influence of the local tainted water supply) begins walking down the main street, in her huge puffy wedding gown, belting out how Amazing Grace had saved a wretch like her 2) Later, when living at Brownstone, Terri bursts into song and somehow the gift of her voice cures Dr. Tony's impotence and saves his marriage to Bobby. In a very odd scene the next morning Tony thanks Terri for helping to cure him. BUT give it up for @Vee Who could forget the cheesiest pop star of all - Sean Donnelly's long lost and soon forgotten son Connor?

Members carolineg Posted March 24, 2022 Members Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) This is hilarious. Is he performing live to his own music video? That seems...rendundant lol. I agree the music could be a little cheesy in the 90's and I don't think the Outback, Luke's and sometimes Jake's all needed to be a place people needed to sing live at. Add the nurses's Ball and traveling to Puerto Rico to see a concert-it's a lot of singing. Is PC that big of a music mecca? I get that it's not very exciting to watch other people reacting to people singing, but I loved the idea of Luke's as a bluesy club and L&B as a business venture that Lois/Brenda could do where they actually showed them doing work. The first few years of the NB worked because they felt like a variety show more with some silly acts. When it became really glossy and characters that would never perform started to perform it got clear they ran out of ideas. It's certainly not a nadir of viewing, but why would anyone want to watch Chloe/Jax ballroom dance?

Members Franko Posted March 24, 2022 Members Share Posted March 24, 2022 She does have an air of "We're doing this? Welp, okay ..." Plus Katherine Delafield, although she started as a pianist.

Members j swift Posted March 24, 2022 Members Share Posted March 24, 2022 (edited) Terry's choice of Tania as a bridesmaid seems random It's sort like when Claudia was Laura's bridesmaid (at her first wedding to Luke) and then they hardly ever shared another scene together. I wish someone would do a deep dive into the most forgettable wedding party maids or groomsmen of Port Charles.

Members Franko Posted March 24, 2022 Members Share Posted March 24, 2022 Eh, they were neighbors at the brownstone and Tony was Kevin, Patrick and Bobbie's colleague. That's close enough for me. If Terry had asked, say, Celia Quartermaine to be a bridesmaid, that would have been a stretch. I wish I still had my copy of Love, Honor and Cherish to look up GH wedding parties. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
