I promise. Not a joke.

 

I would have preferred watching the 90s era myself. FV's stuff is crap, honestly. It's all song and dance with no connection to HIV/AIDS. There's just no message there and no heart.

It was still way better than FV 

 At least they didn't have the red carpet stuff. The message of why everyone was gather there always came across. It wasn't a soulless camp fest. Characters didn't disappear from the NB without explanation. It felt like a proper event not a cringy train wreck.

I am glad the Nurses Ball is a fixture again, and it always should be IMO, cheese or no cheese. It's definitely been a debacle of varying degrees since 2014 or so but I don't care, so long as they keep it going. My issue with it is the choice of actors and material, which largely seems to be an excuse for FV to try to relive the old musical stuff from OLTL. (I wonder if he is still submitting super-campy NB stuff for Emmys[!!], which is what he allegedly did in '13 and '14 and so on and was apparently shocked when the PP OLTL got nominated instead. I remember Daytime Confidential trying to call him out on constantly submitting flashy camp or musical episodes and being shocked when it doesn't win.)

 

The Nurses Ball can be great or it can be awful - it's always had that potential. It's just a q of how they handle it.

 

James Patrick Stuart - the supposed dreaded villain Valentin Cassadine - singing Billy Joel songs(!!) to Nina was my personal Waterloo for Frank's Nurses Balls. I can never take JPS seriously on GH again.

    • I've often thought that as well.   I stuck with EON until the bitter end, but my viewing dropped off DRASTICALLY after the Rexford Clinic storyline concluded in 1981.   The show had always "re-grouped" fairly well after a mass exodus of cast members --- but I never felt it never made a full recovery after the loss of Albee, Frances Fisher, Joe Lambie, Tony Craig, and Terry Davis.   Slesar seemed to have a decent storyline in mind for Raven and Jefferson Brown, but once that arc ended (and he was stuck trying to sandwich Larkin Malloy back onto the canvas), the storylines got sillier (Smiley & the Maskers), and there was too much emphasis on the trials & tribulations of Jody Travis and on the Raven & Schuyler characters.  The new writer (Sheldon) took Slesar's weaknesses to an even greater extreme, making the characters unrelatable and often cartoonish. A return of "three musketeers" police-type storytelling would've been more than welcome, in my opinion.     
    • Sometimes it's hard to tell if it is a new episode or a repeat, since all the characters keep repeating everything anyway....

       So hopefully they won’t add tomorrow’s show on CBS/Pplus later this evening. lol 
    • Yes today's would have been what should have aired Friday 
    • A poster on Bluesky has reminded me that this was that awful story where Jen was engaged to Lawrence. Further she thinks that Jack was going for one of the SNL wild & crazy guys. And then she adds how much she misses Vern. And, don't we all?!! For the DAYS virgins among us, Vern was the newspaper editor & also father to Brian & to Tanner, Vern Scofield. Vern was a good friend to Jack, at a time when Jack didn't have many friends. 
    • It's Eurovision week!

    • And, Gio is Rocco's half-brother, siblings. 
    • Yes, I would agree that she has some rights to tell Dante because it's their son's brother and it's very unfair Dante never knew.  The whole scenario is odd to me because I don't know why Dante or Olivia were kept in the dark in the first place.  I think Dante would have absolutely accepted Brook Lynn's choice.   I can see Olivia possibly having some issues with it, but she never got the option to react either. 
    • Head trip for EON fans and thanks to @GymnastGuy who's been posting tons of Search episodes on YouTube.  SFT August 22 1985 episode Executive Producer: Erwin Nicholson who produced Edge for nearly two decades; this was his last job (9 months starting March 85 through Nov). Co -Head Writer (with Paul Avila Mayer) Stephanie Braxton who played Winter on Edge Actors: Joe Lambie (Logan) as Lloyd; Lois Kibbee as Grandmere (she stepped in for the Maureen O'Sullivan who had played the part for a few episodes, Lee Godart (Elliot) as Bella; Louise Shaeffer (Serena/Josie) as Stephanie. Other non Edge tidbits: Audrey Peters (Van Love of Life); John Loprieno (Cord OLTL) Of course SFT was filmed at EUE studios where Edge had taped. Most of the technical crew were Edge crew for decades.  Background music same as Edge (Elliot Lawrence productions).

    • Ahh...so in that case it's more of a gray area. But I still think Lulu  has ground to tell Dante as she co-parents with him.
