GH: November 2018 Discussion Thread

That episode shows how much the show needs to do some massive improvements

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.

No kidding--how the f u c k do you screw up a holiday episode on a soap??  They write themselves.  And hey inserting the new GH opening gave them 45 extra seconds of commercial time!

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 swear I will NEVER understand why Jon Lindstrom doesn't have a mantle full of emmy's, he's so damn good and fascinating to watch

[EricMontreal22]

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...

Please tell me that Ryan kills Kiki. PLEASE. She needs to go (even though I'm sure Ava would get blamed for her death just like she gets blamed for everything). I have to say I'm enjoying everything happening with the Ryan story.

 

I really like Stella, I'm glad they've kept her around.

[ranger1rg]

 

Yeah, Maxie is a style maven.

[ChitHappens]

 

So many more should go long before Kiki!

[slick jones]

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.

Watch yesterday and today and you'll have your answer
