Members Fevuh Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 I was thinking - when I rarely tune in what happened to GCAC? People lived there, worked out there, dined there and did they just ditch it when they did this Society restaurant and the Phoenix hotel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 Why on earth would JG have Summer hear about the kid from KYLE, especially when Kyle had previously withheld that info, potentially leading up to a soapy reveal? It’s like he has an allergy to drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 That would be such a great soapy story yet progressive—ostensibly straight woman falls for her bisexual surrogate while her husband is away. Right out of Patricia Highsmith. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 Spooky I was just trying to remember the name of GL's boutique inn! The Beacon. That takes me back to GL's studio-bound Jonathan Era (just before Wheeler and Peapack) when half the cast would meet each other on the landing of the Beacon on the way to their room(s).

Members Faulkner Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 It’s almost comical! Like you see a scene about to take fire, and he dumps a huge pail of water on it. Even today, during the Sally/Kyle confrontation at Society, I thought we were going to see Sally go into full-on bitch mode after the commercial break, and it just went so... flat. It’s like clockwork. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I don't know what happened to the GCAC as I only recently tuned back in after a bit of a hiatus. The GCAC set did at least give an impression of depth of set -- multiple rooms (lobby to bar to eating area). I don't know why they didn't just have Phyllis take it over. Yeah I was kind of ready for Sally or even (heaven forfend) saint Mariah blackmail Kyle about not telling Summer about the child for a few days. They could have got Kyle to vote on Jabot stuff they wanted, even if it went against his own interests. Just a little light humor watching him do stuff he obviously doesn't want to do because he is trying to cover his mess.

Members Faulkner Posted March 4, 2021 Members Share Posted March 4, 2021 That would have been highly preferable to the tension-free stuff that’s been playing out on screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Paul Raven Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) I guess the GCAC set was too big. It seems they want to fit as many permanent sets as possible into the studio space so they don't need to pay to have them pulled down,stored and put up as needed, as previoysly happened. In the past years we've lost GCAC Dark Horse complex - now a small office Newman Ranch 2 - replaced by a room Tack room Police station Victoria's house - shrunken down Chancellor estate- redecorated and shrunken Ashby house Lauren's apartment Jabot office - now just boardroom Abbott dining room GC Buzz Brash n Sassy Devon's workspace Summer/Phyllis apartment Am I missing anything?

Members lucaslesann23 Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 We lost nicks new house this year, But JM said its because of covid and its too big to clean. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BoldRestless Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) They lack basic sets. Hospital is replaced by the tiny waiting room and exam room in Nate's clinic. Courthouse scenes are replaced by receiving texts from their lawyers and meeting with their lawyers in the coffeehouse. They don't even use a conference room anymore; Theo's negotiation with the Abbots took place in their living room. They also dumped Tessa and Mariah's tiny apartment. From that to some scenes on the tiny plane set while Tessa was on tour (might've been pre-COVID), and now if they're seen it's at Sharon's house.

Members YRfan23 Posted March 5, 2021 Members Share Posted March 5, 2021 (edited) It's so crazy to think it's been so long since we've last scene the athletic club. I didn't even like that set really, but It's still weird they can't use it anymore. I'm shocked they still use the Abbott House Set. It's probably the least tampered with at this point. I hate to say this, because I know it's an iconic set for a lot of people but I wouldn't be too sad if they lost the Crimson Lights set. Random question, but I was just thinking when was the last time they used the Abbott's Kitchen set? I know probably not since the 90's, but did it ever pop up again over the last 20 or 15 years? The Newly remodeled Jabot Lab too I think? Edited March 5, 2021 by YRfan23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
