The extra walking in front of the camera??? SMDH! And they wonder why the mantle has only the pictures that come with the store bought frame. No awards for a reason, hacks!

The only way Cartini will get an Emmy is if they steal it. Low rent all around!

I think that is intentional. I think it's supposed to feel like this is all happening in real time and the viewers are watching things as they happen like a fly on the wall. We are supposed to be viewing things like we are a person actually watching this happen in front of our eyes. At least that is what I think we are supposed to be viewing. I think they did shots like these at times on OLTL too.

It looks downright awful. I may have happened on OLTL but I dont recall it. If its intentional, then thats almost as bad if not worse. At least if it was an accident, they could blame budget cuts and not wanting to retape a scene

I remember a whole bunch of odd gritty shots and the camera flying all around and doing different things during their stint on OLTL. Sometimes the camera was obscured and there were even times when they had shots that were upside down or tilted. I really don't think it was a mistake though, I really do think they want to make this show look raw, gritty, down to earth and edgy. I think that's what they wanted to do. They wanted to make that scene look like that of a point of view from an outsider who was at the metro court and watching Jason and Carly from a far. The person that walked infront of the camera is one of the waiters so that makes sense. They wanted the viewer to be in the scene with Jason and Carly. The viewer was looking at the dinner scene between two friends like they were one of the dining guests. They do camera shots like that all the time with Kristina's reality tv show documentary style talking to the camera and they did it with the camera on camera viewing with Todd watching Johnny too.

That' s all she 's going to do and have done for a decade....or maybe over a decade.

But I totally agree,

that's when nearly every character on the canvas gave Liz a verbal beatdown. ..IMO it made no sense to me whatsoever to brown-nose Jason's in this " bad mommy " storyline to exc u s e Jason for never giving a crap about this son

It would have made much more sense for her to be "equally " angry with him. Jason kept Michael ' paternity from her & Emily also knew about Jake and didn' t te ll her .. . Jason is a mob enforcer he could have told Monica regardless what Elizabeth sai d .

Perhaps that was strategic editing or something. Maybe Burton messed up the take but they liked what they saw from the early part of it so they had someone walk in front of the camera at the beginning of take two so they could roll the two takes together. It's definitely cheap but it would accomplish that goal.

I def. think the extra walking in front of the camera was intentional. This show has been looking so jacked up--I appreciate FV and his teams attempting creativity (the soap medium has never had any interest or esp. flair for form), but it is translating all wrong. But I still vote FV's OLTL as visually amazing by soap standards. But sh*t's not been worked out on GH--the new lighting, set design, wardrobe, and camera operating has been a sh*tshow, and I thought all these (save for wardrobe) were top-notch on OLTL.

And I still cannot handle Roger Howarth!!!

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      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.

      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.
