GH to air "classic" episodes


Recommended Posts

I agree that Sam has lost any impact as a character, she's been made so weak lately. Her and Jason were a semi interesting pairing at one point but in the long run I don't find Jason to have that much chemistry with Sam. Laura Wright is definitely not on the level of Sarah Brown's gutter snipe Carly or Tamara Braun's petulant diva Carly but she gets the job done IMO. I feel like early in her run she was more spicy but now they're attempting to turn her into the town heroin which dulls her as a character. I'd rather see her be an antagonist again.

 

Hopefully GH wises up and airs classics soon. There's so many all storylines that directly relate to today such as Susan Moore, AJ's paternity, Michael's paternity drama, Faison, Kevin and Ryan, even Anna and Robert.

 

2007 is definitely not far back enough but it's looking like gold compared to today's shows. At the very least GH could at least re-air the stash from the 50th Anniversary Collection! I can't even believe CBS actually managed to air classic episodes.

Even during the Summer of Sleaze/Liason I just couldn't get on the KeMo bandwagon. But, honestly, I was over her before her first scene because of how much the soap rags hyped up her debut on GH. And to start her out with that horrific card story with IR and endless screen time... she honestly just probably never had a chance with me. LOL. But I also genuinely don't find her to be a good actress. I thought she was pretty weak during the baby Lila story and just completely laughable during Liason. It was comical to me whenever Sam would antagonize Liz at the nurse's station. I never felt anything during her struggling with Alexis/her childhood. Just never cared really because I just find her range to be very limited. After awhile I just got used to her being onscreen every. single. day. But I'll admit she seemingly put in effort back then. These days it's like she's just woken up from a nap in every scene.

 

As for LW, I have hated her in the role since day one. *shrugs*

 

No one is surprised Jasam week is next but it's still disappointing when you've got B&B airing their first episode or Y&R really digging into the vault.

You know, even if I didn't always agree with it, I could always at least understand why GH/ABC kissed Tony Geary's ass all the time.

 

Maurice Benard/Sonny, on the other hand? I do not get it - he's never taken this show to extreme highs never witnessed before for them to continue to act as if they should be indebted to him. If anything, the continued focus on him has cost them a huge chunk of their audience over the past 20 years.

GH had an opportunity to go deep into the archives and give fans some really great classics and this is what they choose? I mean even episodes from the 90s would have been great.

    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
    • @alwaysAMC Great mini-review as always.  That Gilly story is...certainly one I could not forget... I imagine a number of viewers were shocked with the temporary recast. It was revealed in the soap magazines, as was the news about Frank Beaty's breakdown, I think. I think Wolf had some statements or an interview at the time but very little. I wish someone could interview him. He did a good job under extremely tough circumstances.  For some reason I have a vague memory of him in the Marian getup but that's probably not right.  I'm glad you have appreciated the material with Susan after a shaky start. I always enjoyed her, and she was the only love interest I liked Nick with.
