Well after binge-watching all night last night, I can officially say I am a GH fan.

I started with May 8 2013 and am up to June. I have laughed and I have cried. It's official I am a fan.

And I love Ava. And Tracy.

What have I done not watching this show so many years! God.

P.S I have no idea if this is a popular or unpopular opinion but Nikolas is HOT and Luke's voice is like honey to my soul.

I have watched 6 hours last night and went to bed at 7 in the morning. My whole regime is off and I am repeating it today. I am binge watching like crazy. When Ava start telling stories she is like a snake trying to hypnotize me. That woman is talented!

Is General Hospital Spotlight a new thing? I just discovered it on the ABC app. Basically its a channel that plays non-stop GH reruns. Its currently airing stuff from January 2019.  Was the show good back then?

 

Current  (well then) stories include: 

Laura just beat Ned out for mayor

There's some serial killer case that Lulu is investigating and Elizabeth Hendrickson is playing a prosecutor

Drew has a dying son and Cameron went to court for making weed brownies

Sam and Jason are together and she's against Shiloh and Kristina

Elizabeth is with Roger Howarth's character

Tamra Braun is a doctor

Anna just fainted in front of some guy named Peter August

Ryan is impersonating Kevin.

More intrigue in the Summer of '74!

Monday, July 1, 1974: Kira reports to Mai-Lin that she is afraid Steve was followed when they met for lunch; Kira gives Mai-Lin a letter from Henry.  Jane tells Mrs. Dawson and Howie that she hopes to go visit her mother very soon.  Joel faces Owen with the grim realities.  Peter and Diana share a joyous reunion when he asks her to stop the divorce, and she tells she already has.

Tuesday, July 2: Augusta tries to seem glad when Peter tells her and Lesley that he and Diana have reconciled.  The ballet troupe manager tells Steve he doesn’t believe him when he claims to not know where Mai-Lin is.  As Jane is packing, Howie and her present each other with gifts for their anniversary.  Diana and Peter have a romantic time.

Wednesday, July 3: Joel, being a pretty good loser, asks that Diana not tell Owen about her and Peter’s reconciliation.  Owen agrees to go through with the surgery to save his life.  Peter asks Diana why she did not tell him sooner that she stopped the divorce action; Diana senses criticism; we sense a potential problem.

Thursday, July 4: Joel admits to Jim that surgery will definitely be performed on Owen, and the surgeon’s assistant hasn't been assigned yet.  Jessie identifies handwriting on a package for Diana as being Phil’s.  Audrey tries to comfort Jim by telling him that it isn’t important if he doesn’t assist in Owen’s surgery; Jim says that he expects Joel to come to him one day and beg him to help.  Owen tells Joel he wants to live more than ever because he is in love with Diana.  Henry dreams about Mai-Lin.

Friday, July 5: Augusta finds the package to Diana, and Jessie again confirms it is from Phil; Augusta makes a note of Phil’s address and gives the package to Peter, who promises to give it to Diana.  

Monday, July 8: Wallace Baxter warns Steve it is a dangerous situation if Mai-Lin has decided to defect.  Diana hopes her happiness with Peter will last. 

Tuesday, July 9: A letter from Mai-Lin saddens Henry.  Joel tries to discourage Owen about his prospects with Diana.  Jim feels certain that Joel will come to him for help with the surgery; Audrey is less sure; Jim is annoyed when she tries to explain Joel might be reluctant to ask; Jim goes to Johnny’s Bar.

Wednesday, July 10: Steve tells Jessie he is worried about Baxter’s warning; Kira invites Steve to dinner.  Audrey calls Lee about her and Jim’s disagreement; Lee is reluctant to interfere.  There are flirtatious overtones between Lesley and Joel.  Peter gives Diana the package.

Friday, July 12: Howie, who is drunk, calls Lee to check that he didn’t go off with Jane; they have an awkward conversation.  Owen takes a sudden turn for the worse; Joel decides the surgery can’t wait, but the surgeon is unavailable.  Diana can’t tolerate Peter’s anger over the package from Phil and the old wall between them is once again intact.

Monday, July 15: Jane returns from her mother’s and Howie implies that he doubts she was with her mother all that time; Jane is hurt.  Joel calls Diana and tells her that Owen is worse; Joel goes to the Hobart residence looking for Jim; Audrey lets her hurt show by saying that Joel must be desperate to ask for Jim’s help; Joel apologizes and Audrey promises to get Jim; she is sure that he will agree to help in the surgery.  Augusta sees Peter is very low and suggests he come home with her.

Tuesday, July 16: Joel tells Lesley that he expects Jim to assist in Owen’s surgery; Lucille is shocked when she finds out that Audrey is going to look for Jim in a bar.  Audrey finds Jim and tells him that Joel needs him to assist in the surgery; Jim refuses.  Joel tells Owen that he himself will be performing the surgery; Joel is moved by the confidence Owen has in him.

Wednesday, July 17: Audrey returns home to find Lucille and Lee waiting; Lucille called Lee because she was worried and thought Lee would understand Jim’s problem; Audrey admits that she couldn’t convince Jim to assist in Owen’s surgery.  Jane finally decides to move out; she asks Augusta if she and the baby can spend the night; Augusta explains that any other night would be fine, but tonight Augusta is having company.  Lesley urges Augusta to not take advantage of Peter.

Thursday, July 18: Steve and Kira arrange for Henry to see Mai-Lin; they have a happy reunion.  Audrey tells Joel she couldn’t convince Jim to help in the surgery; Joel can’t believe that it’s come to him having to haul a doctor out of a bar and sober him so he can help save his brother.

Friday, July 19: As Henry kisses Mai-Lin goodnight, we see a man in the corridor watching them.  Joel goes to the bar and urges Jim to assist in Owen’s surgery; Jim ridicules Joel’s request; Joel knocks a glass out of Jim’s hand.  Diana sees Augusta and Peter leaving the hospital together.

Monday, July 22: The bartender breaks up Jim and Joel.  In her apartment, Augusta gets Peter settled and leaves to change.  Joel, in desperation, tells Jim the medical facts about Owen, and the physician in Jim responds; Jim begins to pull himself out of his haze.  When Peter sees Augusta, he is struck by her beauty and suggests that he leave; she has no intention of letting him leave.

Tuesday, July 23: Jim comes home and tells Audrey he is going to try to assist tomorrow.  Peter and Augusta dance in her apartment; after a few drinks he is light-headed and enjoying himself; he hesitates, but then gives in to his appreciation of her beauty.  Howie wants to set the record straight as Jane prepares to move out; he tells her he is determined to be in his daughter’s life no matter what.

Thursday, July 25: Owen is taken into surgery.  Kira warns Henry that if he comes to see Mai-Lin again he must be careful.  Joel feels he can’t continue with the surgery; the condition of his brother’s heart makes him sick; Jim insists he continue, and will do Joel’s thinking for him.

Friday, July 26: After the surgery, Joel is irritable, but optimistic; it looks as if the surgery was partially successful.  Diana admits to Lesley her problems with Peter.  Owen wakes and sees Diana; he is happy to be alive.  Henry visits Mai-Lin, and Kira leaves them alone; she passes a man in the corridor who puts a silencer on his gun after she passes by.

Monday, July 29: Mai-Lin admits to Henry she was never allowed to be intimate with men in China.  Peter surprises Lesley by saying he is going to stay in a hotel when Lesley suggests he take Diana home.  A man enters Kira’s apartment, and Mai-Lin is awakened by sounds in the next room.

Tuesday, July 30: Mai-Lin is shot by the intruder; Kira comes in just as the man is rushing out; Kira calls the hospital to report the shooting; Henry is immediately alerted and orders Lucille to call an ambulance.  Lesley and Joel don’t understand Peter and Diana’s relationship, nor do they understand Diana’s feelings for Owen.  Peter comes to Diana’s and finds her asleep in the nursery; he tries to write a note explaining his feelings, but changes his mind.  Henry arrives at Kira’s apartment and examines Mai-Lin, at the same time admitting his love for her.

Wednesday, July 31: The hospital is in chaos after the shooting of Mai-Lin; Lucille reluctantly gives Kira Steve’s telephone number in New York.  Lee learns that Jim’s surgery on Owen went very well.  Lesley tries to talk to Augusta about Peter and Diana; Augusta thinks it is incredible that Lesley would ask her about Peter’s personal life.  Kira reports about the shooting on the news; the man with the dragon tattoo on his hand watches the report; he receives a phone call saying “You’ve blown it twice.  Get that Bible.  Do whatever you have to do to get it.”

    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jodie stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.

    • Oh God, she's back? I thought those first scenes were well-intentioned but hysterical.
