Members GH_Girl Posted July 17, 2017 Members Share Posted July 17, 2017 Even this would be forgivable (writing wise, not forgiving Carly) if anyone ever acknowledged it on the show! I haven't watched in a long time now because it's like crazy world where bad guys are good guys. That's no fun to watch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted July 17, 2017 Members Share Posted July 17, 2017 I agree. Bobby, Jason or even Alexis need to be in her face telling her how much she's messing up. It's what she's always done, but when it's not acknowledged it feels pretty gross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GH_Girl Posted July 17, 2017 Members Share Posted July 17, 2017 This and when Joss is grown she needs to hold this stuff against Carly big time. Or be pretty damn messed up from growing up with this in her life. Another crappy thing about soaps nowadays is how nothing from when they were children really matters. Or it matters long enough for one storyline about it, and then it's mostly forgotten. I'm just thinking of Blake on GL, grew up with crappy parents, had ongoing parent issues throughout her adulthood (until bad writing made them disappear). Of course, on a show where no one really thinks murder and being a mobster is a big deal I doubt crap parenting will be dealt with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Juliajms Posted July 17, 2017 Members Share Posted July 17, 2017 Carly and Alexis have had a pretty long history of getting in each other's business, even though neither of them have the right or a moral high ground. Didn't Carly tell Alexis Christina would be better off with her dead during the cancer storyline? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted July 17, 2017 Members Share Posted July 17, 2017 The scenes were okay, in my opinion, but, they didn't ring true to me and here's why. In real families, when a close family member dies, family will bend over backwards to run to the widow's side and then, undergo the ordeal of funeral services. No mention was made of those, unless I missed something, which is possible. I don't know of any family in the real world who would simply gather for a champagne toast. Still, it was preferable to saying and doing nothing.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted July 20, 2017 Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 Where was Dr Bensch the other day? Sam ended up going to Griffin because "Dr. Bensch" had an emergency. After all that promotion we got 1 episode. One. <coughs> should have been Jeff Webber<coughs> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponds Posted July 20, 2017 Members Share Posted July 20, 2017 Can you believe that Ava had nearly fatal burns, but not a hair on her head was singed? Also, I'm hoping they find Spencer's body so I don't have to watch another episode with him alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 JULY 19, 2017 ‘GENERAL HOSPITAL’ SPOILERS: SEVEN MAJOR MISTAKES ‘GH’ WRITERS MADE RECENTLY – MIKKOS, ALEX, VALENTIN AND MORE BELYNDA GATES TURNER General Hospital spoilers promise there might be more storyline mistakes and historical rewrites in store for the ABC soap despite that co-head writer Jean Passanante is retiring this month. Jean tweeted that she’s written scripts that will carry into September (or later) and the powers that be at GH have said her partner Shelly Altman will stick around. Frustrated fans have been quite vocal about blatant errors in GH history and numerous retcons (retroactive revision) to justify or cover changes in stories that defy known facts about events and characters. As we prepare to say goodbye to one writing regime and hello to a different world order in the writers’ room at General Hospital, here is a look at seven recent mistakes that have drawn comment and ire from GH fans on social media. 1. Spencer’s legacy and Mikkos’ will Spencer Cassadine (Nicolas Bechtel) ransacked Wyndemere looking for Mikkos Cassadine’s (John Colicos) will to restore his legacy and family home to him. But Wyndemere never belonged to Mikkos. Ned Ashton (Wally Kurth) owned it and then Stefan Cassadine (Stephen Nichols). Nikolas Cassadine (Tyler Christopher) sold it later, but Emily Quartermaine (Natalia Livingston) bought it back for him. When Nikolas signed over his assets to Valentin Cassadine (James Patrick Stuart), that’s when the title was transferred to Valentin. Mikkos’ will has nothing to do with Spoon Island and the Port Charles Cassadine castle. Twitter Ads info and privacy 2. Liz and Hayden’s “rare” blood type Last year, the writers made Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) and Hayden Barnes (Rebecca Budig) half-sisters who share a rare blood type. Too bad the GH writers forgot that Liz’s medical bio revealed years ago and she was A+. But even if that was wrong, there’s more. Liz donated blood to Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard), and Sonny later donated blood to both Dante Falconeri (Dominic Zamprogna) and Ric Lansing (Rick Hearst). Also, Brenda Barrett (Vanessa Marcil) donated to Sonny once when he was shot. That means they all have the same blood type. Someone has cleaned off Liz’s blood type history off of the wikis, but fans know the truth. The rare blood type is a big mistake. Twitter Ads info and privacy 3. Alex Devane was never a villain Recently on General Hospital, fans got to meet Anna Devane’s twin sister Alex who was involved with the Valentin storyline. GH announced her as the “villainous” Dr. Alex Marick, but All My Children fans knew this was misbranding. You can read Anna and Alex’s complicated history on the Pine Valley wiki, but Alex was not a villain. She was brainwashed by a terrible mother, and once that was erased from her cranium, Alex was a caring sister and compassionate physician. Alex felt guilt over her past triggered by her poisonous mother and settled in Hungary with her husband. Not only was the past with Valentin fabricated but so is her acting the villain in Port Charles in the present day. View image on Twitter Twitter Ads info and privacy 4. Jake and Josslyn kidney fiasco General Hospital fans were heartbroken back in 2011 with the gut-wrenching story of Jake Spencer’s (Hudson West) death and kidney donation to save Josslyn Jacks (Eden McCoy). His death was great drama yet was all undone with Jake’s resurrection. Since then, mistake after mistake has been made trying to justify this upheaval. The video below shows brilliant neurosurgeon Patrick Drake (Jason Thompson) confirming that Jake was brain dead after he operated on the kid. A known GH doc, Terrell Jackson (The Walking Dead‘s Khary Payton), performed the kidney transplant surgery and supervised the organ going from Jake to Josslyn. Changing that is not a retcon but a mistake. SHARE214 TWEET 5. Charlotte’s birth certificate Everything surrounding Charlotte Cassadine’s (Scarlett Fernandez) existence is hinky. Her birth certificate states she was born on May 29, 1992, yet the kid is in elementary school. Lulu Spencer’s (Emme Rylan) good embryo she made with Dante suddenly turned up bad despite repeat testing and that it was locked in high-security storage. That left one embryo missing – that was created by Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) with sperm from Stavros Cassadine (Robert Kelker-Kelly). General Hospital hoped fans would believe that Helena stole sperm from Valentin, the man who was reportedly the only person on earth of whom she was scared. Lots of disbelief to suspend with this error. View image on Twitter Twitter Ads info and privacy 6. Valentin is not the big bad wolf promised Since GH fans first heard of Valentin from Helena, it was whispered with terror from the wickedest woman on the ABC soap. How bad must Valentin be to scare Helena? She begged Luke Spencer (Anthony Geary) to save her from Valentin and warned her sons to avoid the guy at all costs. What we’ve seen from this guy does not match this history. Nikolas is likely not dead since no body was found and he’s a known death faker. Valentin is a good father and misunderstood guy with an angsty hunchback past. If Nikolas turns up, there will be few bad deeds (other than that Chimera) on which to convict. And Spencer’s kidnapping is likely not tied to Valentin either. He’s a softie, not a villain. View image on Twitter Twitter Ads info and privacy 7. Jason errors abound Ever since General Hospital introduced the premise that Jason Morgan (Billy Miller) was on Cassadine Island with Helena, fans have been apoplectic. Jean Passanante argued with fans, insisting they didn’t know whether he was in Greece. In response, Jean was deluged with photos and video clips proving they were right and she was wrong and rewriting history. Jason was frozen, thawed, hit by a car, and got a new face, all very rapidly. Now that Steve Burton is returning, fans are bracing themselves for more mistakes and twisted history if he’s also Jason. Even minor events around Jason are rife with errors like recently when Sam reminded Jason he was at Helena’s will reading (he was not). View image on Twitter Twitter Ads info and privacy With Steve Burton rumored to begin shooting soon for new episodes to air in late August, it will be interesting to see if General Hospital writers will once again retcon Jason’s history or if they’re going for something fresh and will bring Burton back as a new character. What do you think of these recent GH mistakes? Are there other times you’ve noticed the GH writers contradicting history? Come back often for more General Hospital spoilers.

Members StevieM Posted July 21, 2017 Members Share Posted July 21, 2017 I think I just figured out who kidnapped Spencer. I think it was Sam. She is trying to lure Sonny to the place she has him stashed so that she can kill him. I am not on these boards too much so I am not sure if anyone else has already hypothesized that. Forgive me if I am repeating what others have already said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted July 21, 2017 Members Share Posted July 21, 2017 This is the first time I heard of this. You could be right, though, I think I would have preferred the kidnapper to be a very much alive Nicholas trying to whisk his son out of the country and out of a Port Charles where the character of Spencer doesn't fit in with its residents anyway.
