GH promo: Fluke has a mask!


Recommended Posts

That's probably pretty on the nose. I was trying to remember if we'd seen the scene of Fluke ripping the tape off of Luke's mouth yet but I don't think we have. Were Bill, Faison and Larry in the same cartel together? I guess it would make the most sense. I didn't know Larry and Faison had a past but it was referenced in today's episode.

Red herring, of course!

No way, I love this story. The only thing better than two Lukes is three Lukes and the fact that we are not entirely sure who the real Fluke is implies some thought was put into red herrings and misdirection.

Guza...yeah, I really need to see that unimaginitive hack back writing the literally worst GH in history.

Calls for Labine? Of course, why would I want to watch a fun story with villains and schemes and some mission impossible nonsense masks when I could watch stories about people getting cancer? How much more fun that would be!

RC is not great, but I will take this GH over the 15 years of torturous GH Guza served up.

I agree. I'd never want Guza back either and I don't think RC is better than Guza. There's loyalty to a show and then there's blind loyalty. RC is all flash and very little substance. But that seems to be the 'in' thing. Shock the audience and they fall all over themselves. This goes for numerous primetime shows too that fans trip all over themselves for.

Masks are a cheap and lame way out. And when people die, just like DAYS too (and most all soaps) and don't stay dead, how can anyone invest in the storyline? How many of us knew Hels wasn't dead last year? A bullet means squat. Hell, organ harvasting on soaps means squat. I'm more than willing to put up with stretching things on a soap but there's a point it just becomes ridiculous.

Guza is leagues above Carlivati! Yeah, Guza killed off the Qs and put all of his energy into CarSaSon, but at least he told stories and had good script writers. moRon is NOT a writer and this GH is an embarrassment. Even the bloggers masquerading as soap press can't pretend with this mess!

Its no coincidence that Craptini are awardless!

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
