GH: Discussion for the Month of May


Recommended Posts

I think the better question is who would watch the pathetic crap that is real reality shows. The fact it is nothing like one by definition makes it superior.

I thought it was amusing. It gave Nancy Lee Grahn maybe her first entertaining scene in 15 years and it was sort of funny and sets up Maurice Benard as the perfect straight man for the hilarity and madcap hijinks that will ensue. It's different at least from the usual crap GH churns out. It might be different crap but different is better than same.

Probably late 2007 or early 2008 when Amelia (Annie) left because I think Annie W. got a part on 24 and left the soap so that storyline of Amelia trying to get back at Sam for conning her dad was dropped.

I really dont like when people make snide comments about people that watch reality shows, I guess mainly bc I love and are hooked on them

Amelia left GH in summer of 2007. Sam was still doing the show months after she left town

I can't believe they cast such a horrible, old looking actress for Kristina. I do like that they tried to go ethnic in casting, but she looks so different compared to Sonny's other kids (and her siblings). It doesn't work at all.

Well, I'm gonna cut Lindsey Morgan some slack. She said on her little video thingy, which frequentsoapfan posted, that she shot all these scenes on her first day having something like 30 pages of dialogue. Not to mention they had to do a second take of a scene and it was her fault. I can empathize with having to deal with nerves. So, maybe in a couple months -- much like I did with Kelly Sullivan -- I'll feel more comfortable making a judgment on the goods she's bringing to the table.

First day at work. 30 pages of astoundingly horrible dialog. Working with MB whom you've just met. Knowing the fake hair they stuck on under yours looks like shiit. Hating the cheesy clothes wardrobe made you wear.

And then there's knowing you have to try to sell a storyline that makes no damn sense to you or the few people watching this mess. Your daddy got you into Yale where you wanted to go and you're so pissed you do a reality show called Mob Princess to exact your revenge on him and the rest of your weird Addams Family. Try to make sense of that.

Yeah, no reason to be nervous that I can see.

Besides, she's better than Kelly Monaco and Monaco has been on GH for years.

    • I love my girl, but nope he's pathetic. 250K and now he's put her business at risk.   L O S E R

    • The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.  
    • Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.
    • He needs to divorce her arse with her constant cheating.   She's no better than Doug... she's F*cking pathetic.
    • I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.
    • As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.
    • I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.
    • So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
    • So Doug just leaves Vanessa there with Joey? He's a f*cking loser. Vanessa needs to divorce his arse 
    • Tina Sloan tied Jerry VerDorn record when Guiding Light was cancelled - 26 years uninterrupted
