GH: Discussion for the Month of February

I completely agree, Cheap. PC and GH existed in the same city and shared the core characters; Lucy, Kevin, Ali, and Jamal. Everything that happened on PC occurred on GH, even if did not get the attention of the GH characters.

thats not exactly true. There weren't nearly as many crossovers but they did exist in the same universe. There was still the occasional GH to PC crossover and Scott referenced Karen's death over on GH. The vampire and supernatural stuff was a secret and didnt become open until the last 2 arcs but the current story on GH is finally shedding light onto why it went unnoticed

As for the vamp story not being a part of GH history, it may not be but it IS a part of Lucy's history and fair game as she is a GH original and it pertains to her. Her time away from GH shouldn't be ignored merely bc it didn't occur here. Were people complaining when that was done with Anna and her AMC history? I didn't see many having too many issues when they were infusing Tracy's The City history into her storylines (and that was meant to be expanded with familial connections from that show coming on which never materialized)

Of course Lucy's history shouldn't be ignored, but anything from 1997-2003 still isn't a part of GH's history. I'ts a part of Lucy Coe's history. Lucy is a GH character, but she was also a PORT CHARLES' character. I'm not saying they shouldn't explore her history on this show, as I'm in favor it, for the most part. What I'm saying is that the events that solely happened on Port Charles are not, as marceline said, a part of the GH canon. Yes, there are instances such as Scott mentioning Karen's death on Gh. But still, Karen's death is not a part of GH history. It's something that happened within the GH univers - on *another* show.

As for Tracy and Anna, it's the same. Anything of Tracy's from the City or Anna's from AMC, is a part of the characters history that is fair game to be addressed on GH, but it still does not make it GH history.

I completely agree, Cheap. PC and GH existed in the same city and shared the core characters; Lucy, Kevin, Ali, and Jamal. Everything that happened on PC occurred on GH, even if did not get the attention of the GH characters.

It didn't occur on GH, though - which is why any GH fan who didn't watch PC has no idea what's going on. It's a part of those GH characters history. History with another show. So, while it will obviously be addressed on GH, it still isn't GH canon, and therefore it is the character's history - not the shows.

Welcome Nate.

Actually the vampire stuff is as much a part of GH as anything else. it originated from a show that will always be part of GH's history.

What kills me is people acting like this is the first time GH has done something "outside the box"

Speaking of repetitive.

No. Just, no. The vampire stuff has absolutely nothing to do with General Hospital, or it's history. I'm not opposed to this story, but I am opposed to people saying it's a part of GH history.

The lines are blurred. But I agree.

You all are kinda making me feel like this today.

But, whatever. I am enjoying GH and feeling no apathy due to all the conflicting opinions of the show.

This debate is a perfect example of why I find RC a bad writer. He's throwing everything at the wall and with little-to-no consideration of the consequences.

  • Starr,Todd and John come to Port Charles because of Dead Cole and Hope.
  • Anna doesn't acknowledge Leora even as she buries Robin. Except Robin's not dead. Except nobody's allowed to care because of ...say hello to John, Todd and Starr. Wait, who are these people and why should we care? Don't ask. Llanview is alive!!
  • John McBain is here to avenge his dead sister. What sister? The sister Sonny killed but didn't. Again, who are these people and why should we care? Don't ask. Llanview is alive!!
  • Todd switches Tea's baby with Sam's. Wait, who switches what with who?WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE? Don't ask. Llanview is ALIVE!! Or dead if you are Cole, Hope or Tea's baby.
  • Todd, Carly and Skye go to Llanview right after Edward [!@#$%^&*] Quartermaine's funeral because Blair is marrying Skye's ex. Or is he Tea's brother? Wait. Who are these people and why should we care? Don't ask. Llanview is ALIVE!!
  • Robin's alive! Wait, where's Robin?
  • Duke's back! No, that's Faison in a rubber mask. Wait, where's Duke?
  • Frisco's back! Wait, where's Frisco?
  • VAMPIRES!!

I've been enjoying GH but I do have two complaints. One is bringing characters back in one episode then having to wait several episodes before we see them again and the other is celebrating holidays after they've already passed. Other than that I'm enjoying the show. Btw. GH's facebook fans are insane. Everytime they post an article about someone returning they always have one or two comments about being happy they are returning followed by a "Bring back Steve Burton' or "Bring back Jason". I'm so sick of seing that I could puke because for one he chose to left and theres nothing FRon can do about it and teo because the burton sleepwalked through scenes and the character became very boring these last few years. I'm glad he's gone the Jason character needs a break. Plus we get our veta back and heavily featured on the show so I could care less about Jason. I haven't missed him. Lol

There were a lot of typos in that but you all get my point lol

I'm going to miss Robin Mattson's mad, mad chemistry with Roger Howarth while he is gone. These two are more fun to watch than Luke and Helena ... err, that is when Luke was cool to watch and not such a drag.

I don't mind this at all. Lost did it all the time.

I wouldn't let the holiday thing get to you. These shows are at the mercy of pre-emptions and it think most TV shows have stopped caring about the calendar as much as they used to. Hell, Community just returned two weeks ago and last week's episode was a Halloween ep and don't get me started on Revenge's timeline.

Other than that I'm enjoying the show. Btw. GH's facebook fans are insane.

All the soap FB pages are insane. In fact most of the FB pages for all TV shows are insane. That's the nature of Facebook.
