I tried watching today's episode. But it was so meh. I think i might rewatch the 30th anniversary episode. Alexis is so unappealing. I figured it was only a matter of time until they threw Neil under the bus. Trina and Britt continue to be best thing about GH. Trina comes across as real kid coming of age. Britt is a much better vixen then Nelle. Crusty Sonny and Bland Jordan are painful to watch. I hope the upcoming repeats are classic episodes. But they will most likely be awful episodes for the last 10-15 yrs.

It appears we gone from Morgan loved penguins to Brando loved horses.

 

And though I do like Mike/Max Gail, I think it's time for the Alzheimer's story to end.

 

And one thing I don't understand, if Jordan was basically Cyrus' right hand in his organization, why did she have to falsify evidence to send him to prison? Wouldn't she have been able to find actual evidence to put him away?

Nice to see the long used image of GH's opening.  Hard to believe the speeding ambulance opening debuted in 1975.  I found grainy footage of that opening on YT, but doubt this is from the first day it was used:

I was 3 months behind but with the world shutting down, I was able to catch up.   October to mid March was really good (Nikolas coming back; the Wiley reveal; Cyrus' arrival; BL's return).  It's slowed down a bit now but I have to say GH is the best soap and has been for a while.  I actually look forward to watching the show, something that can't be said for the other three.

I find the show kind of flat and too rushed and mechanical to have a real emotional impact but I generally agree. We have a low bar these days. And isn’t it funny that it’s the only soap currently showcasing its black cast, considering GH’s history with diversity?

It is interesting.  I wish there were some more compelling actors (Jordan is okay, but she is not great), and we saw more of TJ.  But I haven’t seen this many people of color on GH at once and also doing things since Rosalind Cash passed away.

      Kelly was a horribly-written character overall. Just think, two Emmy-winning actresses (including Cynthia Watros, Nina, GH, and Annie, GL) couldn't make it work. Pamela is campy, but so are Dani, Vanessa, Leslie, and Joey. And, I don't want to be too judgy because my love for camp changes depending on the show. OLTL, DAYS, and some eras of GH had me rolling with the camp. However, Passions was overkill and I hated it. And, here, I can take it or leave it. It's ok in small doses (note to RC). I see this show as more of a serious drama.

      The Pilot Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      I think one of the reasons that pilot didn't get picked up was because Vicki L was associated more with being Thelma Harper and playing older then she was playing her own age.  It was a blessing it didn't get picked up, or we would have been deprived of the syndicated era of Mama's Family.   Also, worth noting a Pre Night Court Marsha Warfield and pre Perfect Strangers Rebecca Arthur in the cast.  All talented women, but stuck with a bad script. And the other pilot had a pre Fran Fine.. Fran Drescher as the best friend.  I think that pilot might have been picked up if Karen Valentine and Fran Drescher switched roles.

      Cady had a fairly posh accent or manner as Rosanna - the character was a 180 from Dixie when she went to ATWT, and it was a huge success initially. As someone mostly only familiar with the nagging, miserable or clueless Dixie of the mid-late '90s and early 2000s it was what convinced me Cady could act. I thought she was incredible in her first run. Later, in future stints, her hair and story and performances were all over the place but a lot of that was down to the show for me. She brought some of Rosanna back with her to Dixie in her ill-fated return and a lot of people didn't like it, which I understood but I did think the character needed some change. I think she's had a little bit of the same persona and arch performance in every role she's played since, including Jennifer Horton at DAYS or Kelly at Y&R, who later became a maniac and was easily the worst work I've ever seen Cady do. It has kind of infected her overall mannerisms, I'll allow that, but I do think she brought Dixie back together as herself while still evolving the character when she returned to AMC again in 2012-13. Nonetheless, for me the upshot is that this is a character where Cady's kookier recent performance style suits the role. But I can understand it grating for people.

      Yeah, Loretta Swit's passing stings. My late dad LOVED the show (he died last November) and watched it religiously. In first run and repeats.  And I was literally born the day after the show's premiere, so I grew up with it! I know many loved later, softer Margaret, but I loved Early Hot Lips. In real life, I'm all for less misogyny, but to me, the early years of M*A*S*H were just funnier. May Loretta Swit rest in peace. Thanks for all the memories connected to my dad!

      I agree that she isn't Dixie or Rosanna and shouldn't be acting like either. I just found it strange that she had a naive Southern character and a wealthy urbane character in the past and didn't experiment with accents before (unless I missed it, correct me if I'm wrong). She used to do improv characters on YouTube. She's probably doing something similar here.
