GENERAL HOSPITAL February 2022 Discussion Thread

[AlexElizabeth]

I know I come on here and post this every day but I am so bored with Drew being the town therapist. Every scene is him listening to someone's feelings and trying to help them sort it all out. How do they already have absolutely nothing for him to do? Just make him a motivational speaker or something at this point. As for him and Carly almost kissing? No, just no. No offense to CM because I like him, but Drew could disappear tomorrow and I probably wouldn't notice. They brought him out of captivity just so he could do nothing.

I did like that Victor saved Charlotte.

"Oh, there they go! There they go! Every time we start talking about casting females on soaps, somebody gotta pull Gina Tognoni outta their ass! That's they one! That's they one! Gina Tognoni! Gina Tognoni! Lemme tell you something once and for all! Gina Tognoni is good, but compared to Sarah Brown, Gina Tognoni ain't [!@#$%^&*]!"

He could have his own show called "Drew Fix My Life," and go around calling everybody "boo."

I'd rather have seen Carly and Jason getting caught by Sonny!  More impactful than this.

[Melroser]

I'm not debating whether Gina Tognoni is better than Sarah Brown, but I'd take her on GH. I'd love to see her mix it up with Laura Wright again. Not to mention Maura West, Cynthia Watros.  I'd enjoy it. She'd definitely hold her own with them.

You'd think they'd give Drew a storyline similar to Dante's when he returned, dealing with the affects of being held captive so long. But nope, he's the town therapist..

GT would be a great addition to any soap. Although I shudder at some of the cartoonish Grand Guignol faces we might see in an emotional scene between her and Maura.

I don't think it's an either/or, lol. I just think if we're trying to reinvent this show with new leads and new focus you could do a lot worse than having one possible option be bringing Gina on as Dr. Sarah opposite a preferably-bearded Cameron Mathison, since Drew is a Quartermaine who loves his family, served his country and has minimal interest in the mob despite the show clearly trying to wedge him into a Jason-shaped hole atm (and they don't seem to have any other plan for him). When you go a bit younger there's also Lucy/Kevin/Scott's kids for the younger set, Tom Hardy Jr., Anna Donely, Brook Lynn who's already here, and some of the existing teens. You're spoiled for choice and options, but GH isn't really using any of them to revitalize the show.

I would 100% still bring Sarah back as Carly though, and Sean Kanan as A.J. opposite her.

I am shocked they haven't brought RB back as Hayden yet.  I thought that was coming the minute CM was cast.

[Vee]

God, no. Enough. I like Rebecca but Hayden has no personality beyond "if you squint I am Greenlee".

[Darn]

Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh *puts you in a chokehold* don't speak this into existence

[AbcNbc247]

They were probably hoping to get RB back as Hayden so they could pair her with Drew. Remember all the talk about Hayden's disappearance and her mother's murder. That went out the window pretty fast. My guess is they asked RB and she said no.

[Nixor]

There was also talk for a while about Nik having Hayden shot and rehashing all of that so I think you’re right. I liked Greenlee but Hayden never did much for me. I guess I would rather see Drew with her than as Carly’s shoulder to cry on. I can’t believe they had Sonny call him a knock off Jason and then actually turned him into one. What a waste. 

I thought Charlotte and Valentin’s reunion was pretty sweet! They had Laura mention she’s 13 so you would think they’d start kicking the younger teen set into gear and have her interact with Jake but this show is so weird about when they show the younger kids. 

[AbcNbc247]

It's like they pack so much stuff into the show that it's impossible to give everything enough time, so they just forget about some stuff.

[Khan]

I'm not either.  I'm just para-quoting from "Coming to America," lol.

[Vee]

Rebecca didn't even like the longterm pairing of Ryan and Greenlee to begin with.
