GH: Discussion for the Month of April


Recommended Posts

  • Members

The production values have fallen since JFP left.

The lighting has gotten tacky and bright, the sets look like sh!t because of it, the music scoring has gotten really sloppy.

That messy quick editing that OLTL was famous for does not work on GH, and I absolutely hate the way Valentini and team do flashbacks.

The directing has gotten really generic and weak too.

Some of it is budget, yes, but Jill was a much more skilled technical producer, and it shows.

Lol it's bad before the set was way too dark and I had to keep adjusting the brightness setting on my tv, now it's too light.

That quick editing is terrinle

We have OLTL's music director now which is why the music is so tacky. In fact alot of our crew has been replaced by OLTL crew. Anyone have a list of everyone who recently worked on OLTL who's now on GH?

Lol wtf! Why is the floor waxing machine there?

They are wasting no time is building up a crazy Heather! I loved her scenes today with Olivia at the Webber apartment. It was a good history lesson; I loved the joke about serving hot tea vs. cold team. It was a good inside joke that I am sure long-time fans would have gotten a good chuckle anticipating.

Also, great colour on Robin Mattson. She is still very becoming when they gussey her up.

Ahh.... Heather at Luke's! Mattson's presence is giving me the chills. She is carrying herself so well through the scenes that it is bone chilling. Man, I forgot just how great of an actress she is.

Also, I wish that Anna was turning to her real friends when she breaks down thinking about Robin. Mac is around the corner. Heck, even Edward Quartermaine has a longer onscreen history with Anna than the likes of Luke and John McBain.

When GH first went HD, there were some problems with it being too darn bright. They seemed to jimmy around with it, probably trying to make their aging and sun-damaged cast look a little better. They finally seemed to find a happy medium and now it's worse than ever. It looks very amateurish. Well heck, it is amateurish. From the writing to most of the acting to the directing to the production, it's amateur hour.

Why after complaining about how Anna hasnt broken down and actually did some grieving, they finally have her do just that and its with old friend John? Id rather that happened alone in private

Worst new character of 2012? Starr Manning. She is an AWFUL addition to GH. Can Anthony throw her in a river?

LMAO at Heather hating Olivia already. Livia: "OMG, what happened? Did she OD again?" SR looks way too old to be playing her son. I have to say throughout the episode it came off to be like RM was playing Heather like Sheila Carter. Her looks and maneurisms were so reminiscent

The Quartermaine stuff with Monica, Tracy and Alice was good

Sam keeping Jason's family secret from him is complete BS. WTF is wrong with her?

    • 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.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
