Members Darn Posted June 16, 2020 Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 This is almost satire. They have to know that a large portion of lapsed viewers associate the show’s downfall with the rise of Sonny so they’re just spitting in our face because they can.

Members amybrickwallace Posted June 16, 2020 Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 Do we know if the show has saved any of the episodes from the 60s to the mid-70s? Has ABC always owned GH? It would be great to see the early days of Dr. Steve, Nurse Jessie, Audrey and her sister Lucille, Lee Baldwin, etc... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted June 16, 2020 Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 Sonny and Carly aside, it was great to see a pre Frank episode yesterday From what I’ve heard, most episodes from the first seven years are archived, but the early to mid 70s is really spotty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted June 16, 2020 Members Share Posted June 16, 2020 They had so much from the 50th on Soapnet. If they are going to do best of Sonny actually do the best of Sonny which was obviously pre-2000. They dug good episodes out for Brenda's return too. I am not sure what the issue is. I get they have these pre-packaged sets already that they released on ABC.com, but at some point they are going to have to seek some older episodes I think.

Members GLATWT88 Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 I keep hearing about this Metro Court crisis on here. Was it really that good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AbcNbc247 Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 (edited) Yes. Though it led to Alan’s death, which was the biggest mistake GH ever made, the story itself was great. You’d never see a storyline like it on GH nowadays. The whole crisis is posted on YouTube Edited June 17, 2020 by AbcNbc247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 I'll definitely check it out. I've heard it mentioned so often on here that I wasn't sure if it was being overblown or not. I haven't really watched GH since 2006, but I see the Metro Court stuff happened shortly after I stopped watching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 THAT good! One of the best Daytime events ever and I've been watching soaps for 41 years! So unnecessary to kill Alan. Unforgivable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 As stated by others- it was a near perfect sweeps event. They crisis itself just happened- no backstory needed. While it was exciting, they actually took the time to explore the relationships of the characters during the event. The sad part is that they chose to kill off Alan Quartermaine. Which was heartbreaking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members GLATWT88 Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 I just looked at the ratings and GH did really well that sweeps period. It even had 2 weeks above 4 million viewers and big increases from the year before. Actually, most of the soaps were doing really well in those last weeks of Jan. and early Feb. 2007. GL was also doing well in comparison. Too bad I can't remember what was going on Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted June 17, 2020 Members Share Posted June 17, 2020 I wonder if that was the last time all the soaps had gains like these for sweeps, until the resurgence in late 2012-2013 when they were all hitting numbers they hadn’t seen since the mid 2000’s?

Members ranger1rg Posted June 18, 2020 Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 For the most part, these GH classic episodes are duds. i find myself playing the “Look at how short his hair is” and “God, she’s gained a lot of weight since then,” and “Gee, he had big bags under his eyes even then.” The Nurses Ball eps were fun for a couple days, then...just no. How many Wally Kurth songs can one sit through? Those singing kids were pretty awful. Oh, and that Maura West solo S&M performance was just flat out embarrassing.

Members ChitHappens Posted June 18, 2020 Members Share Posted June 18, 2020 Aint sh!t classic about Frank's GH! I will watch a few eppies of this week on Hulu since they went back to the Metro Court stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
