The flashbacks might be not only there for padding, but also to catch people up who haven't watched for a while and are home now.  GH is a fast paced show. I wouldn't be surprised if they think the fast cuts between flashbacks give it a prime time feel too (if so, lol). I'm sure it sounded like a good idea but it's not working on screen.

Same.

 

I accept the fact that Mo isn’t going anywhere, and I don’t really hate him/Sonny as much as other posters do, but I can’t stand when they try to make him the voice of morality. It’s so hypocritical.

I still can’t get over that one lol that was just friggin nasty

These flashback episodes play worse every day.

 

They practically scream "You don't have to watch this," and I'd rather watch episodes from GH's first year than watch this stuff. Want to do this once a week until we're back to normal? OK. But every day? My God, can't they see that this does not work?

Yeah, these flashbacks are losing me. While a little bit of them have helped me catch up, I'm sorry, it makes the episode uneven. As if they put them in last minute because they do not connect at all to me. If this was DAYS, there would be flashback but some structure to how it was done. 

 

Worse...news took up the first 30 minutes today so I'm completely lost.  So I'm mostly watching DAYS today. lol.

 

Honorable mention to Sonny vs Nicholas yesterday.

 

So are these flashbacks being done now to save up on what they have left unaired?

Other than the Nelle one which felt structure...ALL OF THIS.

That reminds me. I am not here for Ned/Alexis/Jax/Chloe 2.0 unless it ends how that ultimately ended...with one of the love interests dead. At least Alexis and Chloe were different in their personality and such. Willow and Sasha are TOO interchangeable.

    • Rita's rape is an episode i constantly search on YouTube hoping one day that it will show up. I always feel like I may have seen it, but I was only 6 at the time and can never figure any of the things I have vague recollection of 
    • FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM FEBRUARY 1973 & MAY 1973:

        FROM THE VAULT: NON-SOAP DAYTIME RATINGS: HIGHLIGHTS FROM AUGUST 1973 & NOVEMBER 1973:
    • The rape was in 1979 after they were married. Blake was the result of Holly cheating with him while she was married to Ed. I believe she was born in 1975. 
    • No. Ed and Holly were married and having problems. She had an affair with Roger and that's when Christina--Blake--was conceived. The rape happened much later, after Holly and Roger were married.
    • Was Blake the product of Roger raping Holly, or did that come after when they were a couple?
    • I really wish we could see that episode...absolutely, my memory could be faulty, it was a very long time ago. I'm not going to contradict what the actors said--there has to be a reason it made them so uncomfortable that they talked about it in the press and complained to TPTB. I think that was the first one where they made the point that they wanted to educate the audience about the subject.
    • I just did with GL and its made me very happy!

          Oh yes, trying to get into any soap from scratch starting post-2010 would be hard. I prefer to go back to the good ol' days, before the decline. 
    • Can we talk about how iconic the 1994 tornado was on AMC? I was scanning through old episodes last night and came across this episode. The tornado was epic and the storylines/aftermath were so good (Julia's scar/Noah!; Jenny/Ray/Nola/Jesse in heaven with Tad, etc).  For 1994, these special effects and budget for this big event were amazing. 10 out of 10!  The only thing missing is Erica!  I can't recall where Erica was at the time, but I really wish she had been involved in this storyline.

    • On the way to her own engagement party? I've read that the show had trouble getting the audience to sympathize with Rita, but...that seems bizarre. Maybe I can understand the issue with the censors, given that at the time, rape wasn't depicted the way it is now, and marital rape was even less acknowledged.  Wasn't Chris Brooks' rape one of the first honest stories on the subject? I just don't think I could get into a show I didn't have a working knowledge of. I know it's a different era, but I really tried to get into GH once Maura West joined, but it just never jelled.
