Are they really going to kill Oscar?  I mean really GH.  You desperately need Quartermaines.  I can’t watch Monica loose another person.  It’s just too depressing.

 

This is no Stone and Robin.  The acting and the writing are certainly not up to par for that.

 

I’m not saying I want this kid on my screen forever, I just don’t want to see him killed.

 

Braun did a good job selling her sadness today.

I am thinking that the treatment effects are delayed and it will end up working. 

 

they did with Reva on GL in 2005 with her cancer she actually died and was revived the next episode

 

I could see GH doing something similar with Oscar

So Nathan Varni implied the opening would change every day but there were many characters in the opening NOT in today's episode. I did notice all five of the recurring cast members featured were in today's episode, though. So perhaps they have five "recurring slots" they rotate out of the different versions of this opening depending on the episode? All in all, the opening was WAY too fast. I appreciate them trying to brighten it up but is there a reason we can't have five versions like Y&R does so the faces have some breathing room? Ugh.

I’m still just kind of shocked that any credible network television show would have this as an opening.  Web soap- maybe.  But this is really awful and amateurish.

 

I guess the ending flicker with GH is the only part I didn’t hate.

 

If we are stuck with this god awful opening, at least use less photos per day and roll the shots to the beat of the music so it looks deliberate.

That open is THE worst daytime soap opening I have EVER seen. It’s just awful. I slowed it down and tried to pause it and STILL couldn’t deal with it.

 

And no, it’s not the FCC’s fault because there’s more advertising. If less story time is available, then speed up the scenes enough to get 15 or 20 more seconds for an open. Cut a character’s walk into a room. Cut a long pause. Cut a closeup. We’re talking about cutting 15 seconds, not 5 minutes.

 

Opens make a statement about a show. I know that prestige openings can be found only on no ad networks like Netflix and HBO, but it’s sad to lose them and end up with just the show’s name on the screen — or this.

When I saw how awful,cheap and unprofessional this new GH opening was, I immediately thought of TGL's dreadful 2003 monstrosity. Before today, TGL held the dishonor of having the weakest opening in daytime TV history. I guess now GH has taken the booby prize.

 

 

Maybe GH does not want us to be able to see how many pointless/irrelevant/repulsive characters are on the show, and how many actors need to be let go, LOL.

    • Same here.  Anyone who voluntarily left Margo's penthouse set (except to go overseas or to Heaven) was immediately on my blacklist.  lol.

    • The penthouse was my favorite set... and it changed hands from Margo to Draper/April to Miles/Nicole then to just Miles... before he opted to give that beautiful place for that drab house with the even more drab Beth.  That was a jump the shark moment for me LOL
    • The storyline April and Draper are involved in during the summer/autumn of 1979 seems fairly "benign" but soon turns very serious.  April has a VERY intrusive, wealthy mother (Margo Huntington Dorn).  Margo knows that April and Draper (who've recently had a miscarriage and are theoretically never going to be able to conceive another baby) want to buy a house.  Margo hoodwinks them into buying a house they can't afford.  The house is listed at $100,000 (about $400,000 in today's dollars).  Margo pays the first $35,000 and leads Draper to believe the asking price of the house is $65,000 instead of $100,000.  If Draper finds out his meddling mother-in-law paid 1/3 of the cost of the home and tricked him, he'll be mad as hell.   Meanwhile, Draper has received a job offer from a prestigious New York law firm.  Margo pulls some strings and has the senior partner in the firm rescind the offer, to keep April in Monticello.  If Draper finds out about THAT, he'll be even angrier with Margo than he will be about the house trickery.  All of that is "bubbling under the surface" in the fall of 1979 but will be the next major story, as everything begins to spiral out of control.   Yep, you've got the Karrs and their very basic middle-class house, the Victorian-themed place where Miles and Nicole live, April and Draper's old craftsman house with the exposed beams, the Madisons & their Mission revival house, and Margo with her 1970s-chic penthouse.  Each of the sets is completely different.  And their budget was like zero, lol.  
    • It felt weird and out of place.  I get. While I agree with those on here that he's gotten better, it's still really bad. I'm not seeing the "good" acting some see...but I'll give him a B for being better than when he first started. There's potential. I'll leave it at that. 
    • It's like watching paint dry at a slow-ass pace. It's bad acting. Entirely. Excellent? With Claybon? Never. Ever.

    • Ah! Good to hear. Isn't it especially odd to think that house fictionally exists not far from the Karrs?  Or, that it was designed non-fictionally by the same person who designed April's place?
    • Good to know I'm not the only one who noticed that. Strange and awkward, and I don't know what they're doing with those fades.   -- Finally, had to laugh at how many Emmys this board passed out today.
