Just finished watching the Escape Room stuff.  It's something different. I liked that they used so many characters. I just don't care about most of them.  With a better set of characters. This could've been chessy fun to watch. GH even references their menagerie of killer's histories. It would've been awesome if Ryan had killed most of them.

I also really used to love holiday episodes, and I especially liked the ones that had the sweetness and the joy and also had some melancholy or even scenes of people that were estranged.  Like real life, which is what soaps do best.  A mirror of real communities.

I like the hospital set, too, but it’s always so underpopulated it’s ridiculous. I don’t get what you mean about production values being excellent, because some of the sets look cardboard cheap to me, with blue tones used everywhere on the canvas.

 

The cast looks amazing? Uh...ok, if you say so. I don’t think the hair, makeup, and wardrobe is near as good as that on Y&R.

Y&R the clothes look so cheap or old. Nothing is properly fitted and the women’s hair is rarely even brushed. It’s eapecially apparent at group events. On GH from what I’ve seen everybody looks very polished and put together. And I stand by my opinion on the sets. They were spacious and we get a good variety of what they show at least from what I’ve seen so far.

Not to defend GH, because it's awful, but I think the 2000 episode is longer than current episodes so they may have needed that time to fit it in?   I think they cut some scenes as well from the original airing to fit the current commercial times too, but I could be wrong.  My memory may be failing me but when they did those classic episodes/Brenda marathon they cut some scenes too because the episodes were just a few minutes longer back then.

I thought by 2000 we had already gotten the 39 mins or so of actual soap in an hour--but in the past 1 years they certainly could have given even more soap time.  I know that when SoapNet would have marathons they usually would cut at least a scene or two of their older (but we're talking 1980s or earlier) episodes...

She's a good start, Ninny should be next, she just threatened Ava. Same with fake daughter. But they have to keep Big Red to reunite with Willow, her obvious real daughter they are forcing on us. Whoever at ABC thinks that Nina is a viable character obviously doesn't actually watch the show.

    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.

    • Haha that scarf thing did go on a bit too long, very odd. And what a young Rick!  I know this is an unpopular opinion, but I just never got the physical appeal of Grant Aleksander, but he's definitely a great actor. Who is the older lady around the 8:30 mark, and also ends the episode, alone and in pain? She seems like a really interesting character. I love the smoky voice and sultry, snaky vibe she seems to have.
    • I can't remember exactly but I think she lives in or is part of the cottage story with Carrie. Carrie poisons her in this episode.  I forgot Teresa was on the show. (I see that AI is insisting she wasn't - well they're wrong) Poor Maeve. I can how even she had her limits. 
    • It pisses me off that the other Duprees are making this incident all about them as well. They are playing a family of victims, acting as if Ted cheated on all of them. They should be supportive, but not like this. I have a family that makes anything that happens to me personally all about them, and seeing the same thing on TV is rage-inducing.
    • There are the makings of good Emmy reels in these past couple of episodes, but the industry is still going to favor even the most mediocre stories and performances on the older soaps. And with the pressure from the government over race I can see the academy shutting out Beyond The Gates to avoid criticism from the administration and the far right media.
