GH to air "classic" episodes


Recommended Posts

The responses on Instagram truly only help support whoever chooses these repeats. The excitement and praise for another Sonny week or the when are new episodes come back drown out a very few asking for better choices or real classics. The Sonny praise is insane, but saying MB was a great actor took me out. I can't

LLC and DZ as mother/son is so ridiculous. He looks like he could be her older brother. That it was at all credible at any point is a testament to those actors.

 

JJ was always so red-rimmed and miserable when I watched this go-around as Lucky. He’s a really great actor with a lot of access to his emotions, but that was just exhausting to watch. It was refreshing to see him somewhat more upbeat on Nashville (before that show went to total sh!t).

 Just like his mother, especially as written by Guza.  She was almost always miserable or afraid everything was going to fall apart once Nikolas arrived. The year Lucky was “dead“ was really awful as far as watching her grieve, and Lucky’s last return reminded me of how they wrote for Laura.

I see the same trend with y&r and b&b. Fans from these online threads seem to have a more wholehearted understanding of each of the soaps classical eras, and seem to be more scrutinizing of what we're being shown on screen these days. This in comparison to the modern fans on social media who seem to eat up whatever trash the writers come up with, and "ship" literally any couple paring.

 

Case and point, this is fan choice week #2 for B&B and all requested episodes have been from the 2010s, despite the show's best era being pre 2002. Similarly fans on Y&R's official facebook are complaining about why it's actors haven't gotten back to filming---whereas here on DTS---fans appear to be enjoying and dissecting each of the older classic episodes.

That’s why I’ve always loved this board, in spite of its issues. There are smart individual voices on Twitter and elsewhere, but SON remains one of the few places on the web that takes the genre seriously. We’re not going to take whatever sh!t is shoveled to us.

 Facts!

I see Michael's shooting is "re-re-re" airing next week. In watching clips on YouTube it's insane how many simultaneous storylines Sonny had from 2008-2010. I had foggy memories of watching Kate's shooting live. While re-watching the scenes, I was surprised to see Claudia sitting in the audience.

 

Between 2008 and 2009 alone feature the Sonny related plots of: Claudia and Sonny, Michael's shooting & coma, Sonny and Kate's relationship/ wedding shooting, Franco's arrival, Dante's undercover operation, etc....

THIS!

 

To be fair I have seen a good amount of pushback towards the endless Sonny weeks (edit: on Twitter; I stay away from Soap Facebook and Soap Insta) but of course the crazies have the loudest voices, lol.

 

Pretty much sums it up.

 

And so so so many 'fans' want instant gratification. "Why doesn't so and so know already" ... etc. It's so annoying. These stans who have no idea how soaps work are helping ruin the genre because for whatever reason the soaps cater to them. The whole "team" so and so is SO damaging to me and divisive.

    • Kim used to say that you can tell when she was unhappy because she would try weird or new things with her hair.  I don't think Rauch was at OLTL at the time Zimmer was but their producer at the time probably wasn't much of a peach either. 
    • I wonder if less set use was preparing for the move. They probably were preparing for this for awhile now 
    • The early part of the season is decent. After that, Season 9 is one of the worst seasons until season 13. Season 10 is a little worse.    That would have made sense, even if it cost us one of my favorite scenes (Ben putting Lilliemae in a headlock). That's an excellent storyline and leads to the show's last strong season finale. 
    • The TVC Studio 31 that they used for 38 years was only about 13,730 sq ft., according to the TVC website specs: https://televisioncityla.com/stages-offices/ Sunset Las Palmas Studios has 11 sound stages, which go up to 20,000 sq ft., though we're yet to learn which of those sound stages will house B&B. Depending on which one, the specs for it can be found here: https://www.sunsetstudios.com/los-angeles/las-palmas-studios/ Sound Stages 4, 5 and 9 are available for use starting September 1, 2025. It's unclear if either of those stages would be used by B&B since they begin production there starting Tuesday, August 19, 2025, which would be before the date shown on the website, but we shall see. Of those three sound stages, only Sound Stage 4 and 5 make sense since they are larger than the specs the show had at TVC, while 9 is quite smaller.  Sound Stage 4 would be the best option overall for B&B since it has 18,819 sq ft., the largest individual sound stage at the lot - Stage 3 and Stage 8 share space, which combined makes the space 19,900 sq ft. --- Forgot to add, unless there was an issue with storing the sets, the changes at TVC should have had no issue with production on the show, resulting in fewer set use as there has been no movement in terms of construction that would impact either show (B&B/Y&R). Of the 2-3 times I've been at the studio, the most recent for Don Diamont's 40 years at CBS, it was the most dead I had ever seen the space, but that could be due to vacations, holidays, or the preparation of the B&B move.
    • I didn't post about it in the BtG thread as I still don't watch the show (an hour runtime is just too much for me right now with a new soap I can't just mostly skip through) but I can't imagine the ego of someone who is hired as a breakdown writer and decides to [!@#$%^&*] their own name all over the show. Classless beyond belief. Any writer who cares more about masturbatory behavior than quality of work should not be hired.
    • Yeah, it would've made things more tightly woven.
    • I like Chelsea and Madison. Two very pretty black women as a potential couple. But I really wish this show would've showcased two very handsome black men as a couple instead.
    • I didn't even think of roasters from GH

      Maybe this roast will take even more than two years
    • Irna wasn't involved with ATWT at the time of Neil's death, was she? I'm imagining a situation where right after his latest doctor's appointment, he's killed.
    • The Cruise of Deception was the first thing that came to mind when I mentioned that Brady might take after that side of the family
