General Hospital January 2022 Discussion Thread

The writers keep recycling that tired old plot of faked deaths. I wished the writers could move beyond it.

GH resumes filming on January 10, 2022

[Antoyne]

Just tuned into GH for the first time in I have no clue. When the hell did they get this awful intro?!

[Faulkner]

A couple years? The last one was even worse.

It’s so blah. I can’t believe they had something worse.

Why does MEK still have this awful KFC accent?

[Forever8]

Me when I watch GH on Hulu when the opening comes on. 

[Faulkner]

They had an earlier version of this current opening I believe that had even faster transitions. It used to hurt my eyes to see it.

[AlexElizabeth]

The opening looks like someone made it with PowerPoint. 

[Vee]

Every opening since what, 2011? Has looked like PowerPoint.

[BetterForgotten]

But hey, Frank does everything on the cheap, and his opening reflects that! 

[Faulkner]

At this point, they might as well update the classic ambulance opening (which was always short and sweet) and call it a day.

I would like to point out that GL was truly a pioneer in awful, cheap openings. That 2003 opening still shocks me to this day. I remember thinking how terrible it looked in comparison to the others at the time. Like some kid in a graphic design class put it together for their dad. 

However, when I saw GH's a during the lockdown after not tuning in for a while, I was equally shocked. It's so cheap looking. Here's hoping they do something simple but powerful for the 60th anniversary. Maybe a recreation of the original opening which wouldn't require cast photos or many changes. 

Exactly what I was thinking!

It also starts the show out with more excitement!  And it is short and sweet and much better than what they are doing now. Anything is better than the horrible, amateurish looking open they are using now.

And those photos are so filtered and airbrushed to the last hundredth of an inch, half of them don't even look like, nor do they flatter the actors*resses they are supposed to introduce.

Plus if you are going to have your opening be just a gallery of photos, at least put the names of the actors to credit them. Make it have a point!

Catching up and I have to say that even though Sonny’s Penthouse is orientated in a different direction and makes no sense when compared to Jason’s still being the same…I think the actual set looks better than the one they used when they shrunk his penthouse the first time towards the end of their time using it.

I am always happy to see Tracy, and that hairdo was such a throwback.  I cannot believe Luke is actually dead, and I’m skeptical that TG would return to the show. Such a random thing.  It would be cool if this blew up Laura and Kevin somehow- they just do not fit together IMO.

I also cannot believe how much traction this death has gotten in the media.  He’s been off the show for years!
