The Limit | General Hospital promo (week of September 7, 2021)

To me it feels like the writers put Curtis out there with everybody. Then Frank notices and Curtis is back to the same old/same old.

 

The character thrives when Donnell Turner is able to do what he does best. There's definitely a twinkle in Turner's eye when he's mixing it up with Laura, Ava, Nina, etc.

The best way to utilize him isn't sticking him with a kid. This show rewrites family dynamics way too much. I don't see the point of taking Taggert out of the family or off the show. We should see him more than we have. He was always a great character, and an eventual return from sister Gia with a  Cassadine heir (as in Spencer's older more down-to earth half brother) writes itself. A new first born would ruffle the Hell out of everyone's feathers.    <cough> Kyler Pettis<cough>

An heir that's earned everything he has as opposed to getting it handed to him could be a great down the line story for Chavez's Spencer.

I want her to live too and stick around. There are other people out there who serve less of a purpose than she does. (Like Sasha/Brando). Also I do wonder how things will end up playing out regarding this paternity storyline with Trina. Multiple people are going to be really mad at her, I hope that Taggert returns for it and gets some decent airtime. We haven't seen him in a bit.

Same here. If this show were smart they would start building more family around Trina and keep her as Taggert’s daughter which basically makes her a legacy character. Bring in some cousins or something to start the next teen generation with Jake Spencer. But I love Taggert and hate the idea that he was duped.

I've grown to like her in the role, truthfully, but yes, the writing hasn't done her any favors. Jordan lost her edge. You saw a bit of fire come out with Cyrus. I have mixed feelings but the character feels ... done. Unfortunately. But who knows? Maybe she survives yet again LOL

I have come to like BNH. She’s a solid actress but she does give “generic Law & Order police officer with a ramrod-straight posture and a blank expression,” which works just fine for the professional scenes. I feel like VA gave stuff that wasn’t often on the page.

Jordan is such a sketchily written character that it’s hard to make much of an impression.

Gia could have some kids younger than Trina that can be part of Jake's generation, like you said.  And they did say that both of Portia parents our doctors, so perhaps they could recur or Portia can have a scheming sister who comes to town.

I assume she lives? lol

 

Curtis all of a sudden "I never stopped loving you" as Portia stands there all angsty. I guess it could still go either way. All the talk around her felt like anvils of impending death ("you're so strong" "you've come back to us before" etc) but with this show? LOL

 

In the next two weeks of spoilers I've read I don't see Curtis/Portia/Jordan listed at all. Hmm. 

 

Kristina is back though (not sure if we see her). Ava asks her to look after Charlie's Pub while she's gone. A better cast Kristina should be attempting to take over Sonny's business.

    • Correction, July 1991 to May 1995. JFP got the ratings up during her first year, but it also helped that ABC big three were tanking at various times during that year and Days was in their post-supercouple/pre-Reilly mess era. It will always disappoint me that the ratings during the Calhoun/Long/Curlee era did not reflect the quality of the show.

    • Perhaps. But would anyone have wanted The Doctors to turn into what General Hospital ultimately became?  Dear God in Heaven...
    • Thanks @EricMontreal22 that must be one of the last issues. Probably the best soap magazine.
    • I can definitely see that airing the same week as The Love Boat colliding with an iceberg and sinking while crossing the North Atlantic on the Titanic anniversary with a “Who lives and dies?!” Promo next to Mr Belvedere being blackmailed over his wanted fugitive status back in the UK

        Agree with you both. I am also going assume that while Hotel may had some big numbers the first 2 seasons BUT the demographics weren’t great. Reason I say this is I distinctly remember my parents watching St Elsewhere and/or The Equalizer after Dynasty.    I still don’t get Hotel’s designation as a primetime soap opera either lol. ABC should have aired Paper Dolls in the 10/9 slot on Wednesdays in the fall of 1984 to give that show some more legs.    Obviously ABC was eyeing a double bill night in the same vein as Dallas & Falcon Crest and that might have worked better than leaving Paper Dolls to the wolves in an untested timeslot.
    • I tend to stay out of EP discussions, simply because I rarely know who EPs when. And they all have their good and bad sides. But how are we supposed to judge JFP on anything other than what we see? I didn't know she was a director or a music director. (and unlike say, Chris Goutman, I never saw her credited as anything other than an EP) Specifically in the matter of casting Crampton, she took credit for it (or at Crampton gave her credit for it, whatever) and it was arguably, one of the worst recasts of the '90's (and either as bad or worse than the actress she fired).  She lost two important actresses in '92 and still decided to kill Maureen.  She had a wildly uneven tenure at GL. It's no wonder she's polarizing. But it kind of proves a point--great soap is always a that rare combination of everything clicking at the same time.  And believe me, if I could bring myself to watch her male successors who were responsible for bringing back Reva and allowing her to eat the show again, or hiring Hunt Block, or being too chicken to stand up to stans who and hamstrung the show with boring couples stuck in the same repetitive stories (Vanessa/Matt, Chelle/Danny or Richard/Cassie, take your pick) not to mention San CristoHELL....I'd be more than happy to roast them on open spits. I guess we end up talking about JFP because she's in a period we can nominally agree was one of the last "best" periods of the show.
    • A degree does not make one an expert at their job, it just shows that you can follow directions from a technical standpoint.  It doesn't mean that they're creative. JFP was all about the look of a show without considering that technical beauty can only carry a show so far if there is nothing interesting to go along with it.  Equality means calling out flaws equally in both genders. 
    • NBC or P&G was even fool enough to take a full page ad for two consecutive weeks in TV Guide promoting this horrible storyline.

    • JFP has had more defense for her decades of terrible producing than many male producers ever had.
    • It makes sense that she got a degree in directing. I've always said she should have been a director. I think she works better at the technical aspects of the show. I think her problem is the emotion/heart of a show.  She always guts the heart of the show she's on and she makes decisions that stop longtime viewers from watching a show. I don't think it's sexism to call that out especially as I've said similar things about Conboy. I've called out Rauch for much worse.
