GH: Discussion for the Month of March

[remos]

<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 hate to say this, but....I'm actually enjoying Luke. And I'm loving John's interactions with the whole town. Easton's ad libs are great.

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.

[frequentsoapfan]

This. I also picture GH with a dramatic ending that would have people talking for a long time but now it'll go out like AMC

[Cheap21]

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

[frequentsoapfan]

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.

[Cheap21]

Really? JR shot his mother Dixie, while going on a rampage, kidnapping his step mother Krystal and waving a gun at her and Adam. If I recall correctly he was drunk that time, just like he was in the finale.

[OLTL_fan]

Robin's alive? WTF?

[VirginiaHamilton]

Wait, people are actually surprised that she is?

LOLOLOLOLOL

[Ryan Chamberlain]

I had my suspicions that she was. But, there for a while they had me faked out.

With the rumors VI is coming to GH. Wouldn't it be perfect if she was in Project Orpheus and David saved her because of Anna.

[remos]

They're releasing that tidbit already? Geez, good storytelling dictates at least a month between the funeral and a revelation like that. These guys obviously don't know good storytelling.

[frequentsoapfan]

That would be pretty contrived. They'd have to explain why and David was stalking Robin

Robin looked very orange today. It would've been better to show her all bandaged from head to toe
