GH: Discussion for the Month of March


Recommended Posts

  • Members

<p>I'm trying to find anything redeeming in what we see now. It seems this team hasn't really done anything different - it's just OLTL with GH character all centred around SaSon. The vets are BS - those who have stayed throughout as well as those who are on the Revolving Plan. There is no sense of cohesion or direction. </p>

<p> </p>

<p>I always had a picture in my head of Guza in front of a large bunch of toys and repeatedly picking his favourite Barbie and Ken dolls rather than looking at some of the other options he had. GW picked a number of different toys, but was so slow contemplating them that the interest wore off. This crew however, seems to be running back to the toy box in the other room before returning with a few items, and picking up Guza's favourites to mix them together. Days has the exact same problem - obsession with a few toys rather than playing with everything available. I am astonished and disgusted that these writers just keep being moved from one show to another without anyone calling this BS out where it can be changed. They make it unwatchable. Just a couple of episodes of Days and I'm checking the calendar to see if this is 1994. A couple of episodes of GH gives me such whiplash I need to immobilize something. </p>

Actually I think it was Eric Braden of all people who called them out in an interview once of course then he took two steps back when he praised the vision of MAB. The biggest reason soaps are dying left and right is because the soap killing hacks keep moving from show to show. Right now we have RC, FV, and Kriezman who killed their soaps(Kriezman killed GL and AMC) working on our show. I kind of expect Dena Higley to be the next one handed a job since the new trend seems to be hiring soapkillers to finish out the show.These uncreative hacks have killed soaps.

History of the Floating Rib:

It was a steak house restaurant directly across the street from General Hospital. It closed during the late 1980’s. On February 23, 2006, Holly Sutton (not knowing that the restaurant was long out of business) demanded that Luke Spencer and Robert Scorpio meet her outside the restaurant with two million dollars for each vial of antidote for the mutant encephalitis virus that had gripped the city that month. A massage parlor is now located on this site.

Susan Moore, Jason's bio mom was a server there she got pregnant but they didn't know who the father was but when she found out it was twins she knew that it was either Lukes babies or Robert, she didn't find out until she left the show that one egg was fertilized by one dad and the other by the other dad and she told no one.

I <heart> this post. As a long time fan, all I see is the same CarSaSon show with a mix of OLTL characters. Yes, Luke is more likable but at the expense of the histories of the people around him (Robert, Holly, Anna). I guess I don't care enough about Luke anymore (sad!) to buy this latest round of trash. Just cancel GH already. It's a mess. I had hopes for GH ending on a high note but I think it's going down with a whimper.

If thats the case then GH is in great hands bc I thought AMC ended out pretty damn good. The finale was amazing and the final week was a real treat, not to mention the final weeks leading up to it with great resolutions and effectively used returns (save Gillian of course). GH would wish it would get the same treatment AMC did

Well I didnt like alot of the end of AMC including the lame cliffhanger at the end. Did care for SMG random last appearance, Car was a waste of character still. Hell one of the only things I enjoyed was the crazy women. Jr WAS NEVER that crazy to shoot at his family. Angie's ending was too abrupt. Hated David getting a free pass and hope that doesnt happen to Sonny and Jason. Let those two go down in a hail of bullets! Or fitting into Sonny's history, a car bomb! And frankly al lthat back from the dead ruined the AMC finale.

    • @TaoboiI ran into Dani’s favorite party planner again tonight

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
