Members MrQuartermaine Posted September 18, 2012 Members Share Posted September 18, 2012 They're going to do both. John's going to get an "In Memoriam" at the begining or the end of an episode probably next month, and then down the road a few months, he'll be killed off in a big storyline.

Members Khan Posted September 18, 2012 Members Share Posted September 18, 2012 Here's my question: did any soap, past or present, put on a funeral for a character that made you think, "That heffa wasn't on long enough to merit THIS kind of send-off!"

Members BoldBeauty Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I liked B&Bs Taylor's funeral of 2002 a lot. It was beautiful. Now in retrospect... well.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ESujLhvSZg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 For anyone who was watching then: What did they do after Luna died on OLTL? Did they have some special New Age funeral like they did for her wedding? I'm still pissed Gabrielle didn't get a funeral. Bastards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BKuzak Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 Thanks for the information. ah! of course he's going to be killed off...this is General Hospital. Nobody dies quietly anymore. I'm suprised they aren't going to put a stunt man in and have him die in a shower of bullets! I'm just glad the poor guy didn't die a month ago because they would have killed him off during that Jerry Jax "killing through water" story.

Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I seem to remember people saying this about Babe's funerals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrQuartermaine Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I was so against Dixie having to share her funeral with Babe back in 2007. That was so wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members allmc2008 Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I second that. I think that there is an actual correlation between soap viewer's and the soap's themselves. I watch soap's partly so I can see how certain character's deal with a certain crisis or unusual situations. Erica, Tad, Dorian and Tracy are a few of my role models.

Members AdelaideCate007 Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 +1 It was in North Carolina with just Max, the kids, and her family. Everyone else in Llanview just stood around in Angel Square talking about her. And yes, Gabrielle needed a funeral. That was a wonderful moment.

Members Khan Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 No, "wrong" is killing off Maureen Bauer on GUIDING LIGHT and then not bothering with an on-screen memorial. AMC's two-fer funeral for Babe and Dixie was ghetto. Wait, BKuzak. Just. Wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 No, Gabrielle needed a Viking funeral. I'm talking ship, I'm talking water, I'm talking setting the damn thing on fire. Not because I disliked the girl -- far from that! -- but that's what you do for a force of nature like Gabrielle Medina. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 I thought it was OK outside of the shameful Katie propping and Terri Conn's bad performance. I just never understood why they remembered Susan Hughes but not Penny or Don. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 In their defense though, ATWT had practically no time to put her funeral together and we were lucky we got anything at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted September 19, 2012 Members Share Posted September 19, 2012 IIRC, Helen Wagner's death occurred just as ATWT was gearing up for their last few weeks of episodes. So, yeah, it wasn't as if they had the luxury of time on their side. On the other hand, while bringing back a host of former characters might have been too much of a logistical nightmare for a production team that had enough on its hands, what was to stop the scriptwriter from throwing in a simple line or two, explaining Penny and Don and their families had to leave immediately after the funeral?
