GH: Discussion for the Month of March


Recommended Posts

  • Members

DAYS didn't have to lease Wally out for John Ingle's farewell. He's on recurring, he can do as he chooses.

DAYS screwed GH over back in 2004 when Anna Lee died. GH asked to use John Ingle, who was on contract at DAYS at the time, for the 3 episodes that would deal with the death of Lila Quartermaine. DAYS refused to let Ingle do it.

Also, verDorn does in fact appear in one GL's final episodes. He's sailing his boat across the lake during the scenes at filmed at verDorn's local country club.

But again he's not on contract with DAYS so they couldn't have stopped him anyway. Credit for what? They really didn't do anything.

And in some markets DAYS and GH overlap as well.

Like I said instead of just hanging in their they need to refuel the competition and use it for better stories for each soap. Them playing nice with each other still doesn't do anything for the shows.

It shows goodwill to the audience, which is really the only reason any of these shows are left.

DAYS went on the record (SOD, Wally said DAYS had no problem with him reprising his role as Ned for those couple of days) saying they didn't mind and that they were glad Wally's days didn't overlap with the two shows, because they loved John Ingle as well, and they knew it would mean a lot to the audience if he appeared. I think they deserve a little credit for that, considering ABC refused to allow JVD and B&B wouldn't allow Rick Hearst (who they weren't using, despite him being under contract to B&B at the time) to appear during GL's finale week, despite what it might mean to long-term viewers to see GL's Alan-Michael appear at his own father's funeral.

I always liked the jazz version of the GL opening

GH should have new a version of Autumn breeze with a updated Ambulance going to the hospital that all it needs in my book.

The characters don't need to be displayed they where never shown on DOOL.

But GH already had a "new" Edward Quartermaine for that and the daytime community wasn't in as dire straits as it was at that time.

They may not have been able to predict the future, but they should have known the value of a John Ingle when they had it before they actually "needed" him.

Jed Allan did the best he could (even drew upon personal circumstances for it) and ABC Daytime had no one to blame but themselves for that fiasco.

Never should have replaced JI in the first place. Never should have put themselves in the position that would have made them replace him in that situation. I blame ABC Daytime for that. They didn't appreciate what they had and DAYS did appreciate what ABCD had and offered him a contract.

    • Maybe if there had been a good close up or two
    • I haven't had a chance to view the interview, but I'm glad Mike didn't get the part of Derek.  Derek is a badly written character. Any Ben Gavin screenshot from yesterday's show?
    • Wait, what? So, Martin’s not running for President anymore? Just like that?  I didn’t expect this storyline to be long term but I would’ve liked to see it play out for a little while longer, or at least until Martin’s secret was revealed. And definitely not fade out with a whimper. Sort of like Naomi’s lawsuit against Bill’s firm; what was the point of it all if it was just gonna wrapped up so easily and (probably) forgotten about?  Eva is still the breakout character though. I’m looking forward to seeing where she goes from here with everyone, especially if the twist that we’re all suspecting turns out to be true.  And I did find the gambling storyline interesting finally, now that we know Joey’s endgame. I’d like to see it play out and to see what happens to everybody involved in it.  As for Derek/Ashley… I wonder how it would’ve played out if they actually had cast Mike Manning as Derek. Yeah, the writing isn’t there but I imagine that Derek would have more of a personality lol and I also imagine that it would’ve made Ron Carlivati’s head explode

    • That would've been a good pick! She was great on B&B and like you said, she's already in Atlanta.

    • Oooo. I like the current actress, but that's a pretty great choice.
    • And you would be correct re: Damian. I've said the same. And Bonus...he had a story with twists. So I for one got annoyed, but cautious when the Dumas twist happened because it immediately felt like the best current story going on on the canvas was about to be hijack. And...looks like I was right.

Ironically, Eddie, realizing that Felicia can’t paint at home, has been looking for a studio for her, and happened to be inspecting this very studio, only to learn that Mrs. Lamont had already rented it. Felicia explains to Di that she is afraid to tell Charles about the studio, as he instantly assumes that when she’s not with him she’s with Eddie. At Di’s suggestion, Felicia arranges a dinner party with the Sterlings, in the hope that telling Charles in the presence of others will allow it to be discussed calmly. But Charles voices his fury anyway, saying that it sounds like a perfect love nest.. The Sterlings point out that he is not being deserted—he has his nurse, and Felicia will always be home to prepare dinner. But Charles isn’t mollified. , Charles decides his suspicions are correct when Eddie delivers a letter from Lisa to Felicia and Charles realizes he knows about the studio. He refuses to believe that Felicia didn’t tell Eddie, and rides her mercilessly. Finally Felicia realizes she can’t stand any more of this mental agony and packs, saying she needs time to think and so does he. Charles immediately calls at Eddie’s for her and is surprised that she’s not there. But his call worries Eddie, who goes to her studio to see if she’s there. He finds her about to drive to Maine, to her Aunt Mavis’s home. Felicia is touched by Eddie’s suggestion that he accompany her for her safety, but assures him she’ll be fine. Charles, meanwhile, has fallen from his wheelchair while reaching for the phone and hit his head. Bruce finds him unconscious with a gash across his head and has him rushed to the hospital, where emergency surgery is performed to relieve the cranial pressure.

She invites him in for something to eat, and since it’s very late, he spends the night in the spare bedroom. Felicia and Eddie spend the next several days walking in the woods and the evenings in front of the fire, developing a deep emotional closeness. Felicia finally tells him of her early father fixation and admits that she’s still a virgin, unable to have a physical relationship with a man. To her relief, he understands and sympathizes, and she agrees to try to make love with him. The attempt fails, and Felicia is embarrassed,but Eddie manages to make her see that sex is only one facet of his love for her, and when they try again later she is delighted to find that she can give herself to him with feeling and happiness. She decides she must return to Rosehill and ask Charles for a divorce. Cal and Rick honeymoon in St. Thomas, the Virgin Islands, but Cal is a bit dismayed when Rick takes time off to discuss business with a restaurant owner. She feels he shouldn’t have any thoughts of business on their honeymoon. Ray Slater tells Meg she stands to lose her investment in Beaver Ridge, since she has frozen Rick’s assets and he owns the controlling interest. So Meg gives Cal and Rick the news, upon their return, that her wedding gift is the dropping of the lawsuit. She then offers to sell her share of the club if Rick will again take over the place. Betsy has made strides toward establishing a life for herself and her daughter by renting an apartment, making arrangements for a mother’s helper, and asking Jamie for her old job back. Jamie assures her it’s available and ‘takes her to dinner. Betsy is annoyed when Meg stops by just as she’s returning home with Jamie, and she tells Meg she won’t stand for her checking up on her. Ben has been having problems ever since his prisonmates discovered he’s in for bigamy. This “pretty boy” offense makes him a susceptible target for advances and sadistic treatment. Duke and Pearson, the chief instigators, are pleased when Ben takes punishment and threats without squealing, but they decide to continue the treatment rather than let up. On the night  they decide to teach Ben what it’s really all about, he fights both of them, but tires and is on the floor under their knife when fire breaks out. Solly, the guard, starts to release the prisoners from their cells but is overcome by smoke. Ben rescues him, then returns to rescue the remaining prisoners, including Duke.

Meg finally leaves, and Betsy comes in, bringing Ben a picture of their daughter. She tells him of her recent plans. When Ben asks if she’ll visit again, she hesitates, not wanting to make any commitments. The warden tells Ben he’s putting him up for parole, and Solly thanks Ben for saving his life, offering his hope that the parole comes through. Learning of this possibility, Meg asks Bruce to intercede as mayor, and he refuses. She replies she expected that and already offered one of the prison-board members a contribution for a favorable report. Van’s horror at this is echoed by. the warden, who tells Ben that his mother’s attempt to bribe the board could cost him his parole.But the board doesn’t hold this against Ben, and his parole is granted.
