GENERAL HOSPITAL December 2021 Discussion Thread

I think that was the case until BA decided to leave. Once they committed to the alternative with Ellie I really liked those two together. Spinelli matured with Ellie and this is all a major step back.

I could say so much about KS and how she's weathered the recent years but I've said it all before. She's spent. She needs to be gone for a long time, for her sake and the show's.

Why did BA even leave?  To be SBu's sidekick forever lol?  BA has toned down his Spinelli obnoxiousness slightly, but what other gig is he ever going to get lol.  I agree about Ellie.  I would take her back over half the cast now.

I hate to be that person that shades people's mental/physical health issues, but the show has bent over backwards to accommodate Kirsten Storms and I am not sure it's helping her or the show as well.   She just seems very spent like you said and not in the MB/Kemo of I given up trying way.  Just very tired.

I have no idea. I do think the plan in 2012-2013 was always to reunite Spixie but BA leaving changed that. Regardless, Ellie and Spinelli worked and evolved the character and I have no patience for Spixie now.

People love to get super offended when you talk about KS' many, many issues which are not a secret. But the fact is I think it would be better for her and for the character to take a long break and take care of herself. I watch her now and it feels exploitative.

Soaps/Soap press is so bizarre in that way.  It's clear KS has had a lot of very public issues with substance/illness/mental health and if she was a bigger star it would be on TMZ.   I am not sure why there is a reason to protect her and other soap stars by the insular soap media.  The poor girl has been acting since she was a little kid.  She can take a break.  I am sure she has some money in the bank since she hasn't really stopped working in 20 years.

Spixie was always a cute idea.  They were fresh and different for a minute until they weren't.  I just think Spixie might be a good way to anchor Maxie now if we insist on keeping her.

I just watched the Riche episode.  The empathy they showed MB was pretty incredible.  No matter what I think of Sonny or MB’s ego, that was very generous and human, in a business that usually treats everyone as replaceable.  Makes me miss her even more at GH.

It's very interesting to hear their stories.   WR and SC must have really saw something in MB as it doesn't even seem like he auditioned.  Clearly, they weren't wrong, but I have heard the Damian story before and I just can't imagine him as Damian.

Happy to be entering the December episodes now.


And since I didn't want to post it in the November thread...interesting how Drew coming back has up-ended the whole ELQ stocks again just when Valentin thought he was getting payback on Brooklyn. Can't say that does not intrigue me to see if Ned can get Scout's share back in house. 

 

But I like for Qs tales.

    • Yes, I am familiar with Fred Silverman. Agree, the 90 minute AW a very poor decision by Silverman. I think Silverman was behind the decision to go with Texas.
    • Thanks -- you're doing God's work The Gio reveal was everything I hoped for and more. GH got it right. Head to toe, GM is a stunning physical specimen.
    • I really wonder how they'll handle Netflix's usual long breaks between seasons. That girl is going to grow up fast... makes me wonder if this wouldn't have been a better fit for HBO Max considering they're leaning into a more broadcast style of production model with The Pitt.
    • I agree -- I didn't suspect Ted, either. I think a lot of people are giving themselves way too much credit in predicting Ted's problems

      And can I have a different take on Ted here? Yes, he's made a huge mistake with this Leslie debacle, and yes, he has to suffer and pay for it. But does that make Ted a terrible human being? I don't think it does. He made a horrific mistake over 2 decades ago, and as far as we know, he's been a good husband and father since. As far as we know, he hasn't strayed or violated his marriage since. He didn't know that he fathered another child, and thought he "removed" Leslie from his life. I won't blame Nicole if she doesn't forgive him, but I also won't blame her if she decides what they have and what they've had more than makes up for what he did. Ted is getting dragged far more than Bill is on these boards, and I think Bill is MUCH worse as a husband and father. How many times did he cheat on Dani during their marriage? How many times did he do vile things in his role as fixer? How much did he hurt his daughters by screwing their friend and marrying her? With Keith Robinson coming in as Ted, maybe we'll see a character change in direction and we'll discover that Ted has many flaws and always had a dark side. For now, though, I'm inclined to both be angry with Ted for hurting his family while also sympathizing with him. I know what you mean, but I do think that was intentional. So much was going on in that episode, and I think they decided not to let Nicole's reaction be lost in all that. Nicole will get those scenes that you're asking for.  
    • That was the original point of me sending you her 6 airdates, so now with those, and the link to the daily episode guide I've provided, that should help you more easily find the additional Ruth Buzzi scenes. I will always repeat myself when it comes to defending my data that I've taken decades to research and compile. But, as you pointed out in a recent post, I am kind, so at least I will do it with you in a kind way as opposed to the usual social media way most people do with just getting rude/nasty. That's not my style, as you correctly pointed out earlier this week, and never will be.  So, all is well!

    • Ambyr Michelle continues to be *that girl.* She’s just a star, period. Elevates every scene she’s in on the sheer strength of her emotional realism and charisma. Can sell any dialogue. I wish the show veered away from the B&B-style scripting. TMG/Leslie’s tirade stood out, I suppose, but she’s getting a bit mustache-twirly. And I wish DD had more to do in that episode than stand and sob.
    • Well, that was down to CBS being weak and not being willing to just pulling the plug entirely. They didn't want to commit to cancelling the show in case they needed it for their schedule basically; plus they kept showing that they were willing to make cuts if needed to be. 
    • I'm sorry but clearly what I've said is not satisfactory to you. I have now read what you have to say, twice. As it happens, my interest at this point is looking at other mislabeled files to find this other Ruth Buzzi content. I do not see any point to each of us repeating ourselves, so I will leave it here. 
    • It seemed to be your intent. coming into a thread I started and making multiple posts saying my data was wrong. In the next paragraph you say "Of course, I was suspicious from the very first instance where what I saw & heard did not agree with what it should have.  I'm very glad to know why." That certainly didn't stop you from immediately saying the data was wrong, until I provided additional receipts. Why did you not check the daily episode guide (for instance, this one for the 1980's) I posted for the world to see for exactly this reason...to help confirm airdates: http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/days-daily-summaries-1980-1989-t15361.html? That is what you should be checking BEFORE you make any posts in the future like this, trying to suggest something from my data is incorrect. You could have also messaged me and asked me why your dates weren't adding up with what the correct data is. I would have fast forwarded through that video you posted, spotted Roman and Hope and immediately have told you that was the 11/1/83 episode.
