General Hospital: May 2022 Discussion Thread

MEK talked about Martin's accent. He runs lines while he's walking his dog. The legalese has a cadence to it that came out of his mouth as a Southern accent & MEK asked Frank if it was okay. Said yes but don't take it too far. So they decided he had spent time in his youth in oh-he-couldn't-think what city it was right then. Began, though, as a highbrow Virginian accent & has since devolved. MF asked him if it was hard & he kind guffawed & said Well Yes to be consistent! AS IF someone would ask if an accent is hard! He said he has Dixie running in the back of his head to keep a line on the Southern accent.

He also said he loved doing Ted Orsini but he didn't think he was very good at it. He would watch David Canary & just think, OH, if I could do that. He referred to the time Stuart's wife had died, an AIDS storyline & David & the guy he worked together had like a second sense of head placement & everything, for when both brothers would be on at the same time.

(This was in a Zoom interview with Michael Fairman & MEK.)

California, in most counties including LA county, kept the mask requirement much longer than other states.  I understand her concern, but you can go almost anywhere mask free these days.  It's unfortunate, but unavoidable. 

With her vax and boosters she should be fine in a few days if she tests positive and as far as her fiance-I can't speculate.  But NLG must know her daughter works in the industry and may have a higher risk of catching covid.

Ehhh... Nancy's come off as unhinged on Twitter for a while now. No big deal. She loses my support on the day she attacks someone else for acting the exact same way.

I was captivated by that old car and its spark plugs. Couldn't look away!

What kind of car was that? Is it just me or is it weird for Sonny at this point in his life to be giving Brando advice on how to support his bride?!!! Which part of his homespun advice did he use to save his marriage? Oh, right.  Seems he doesn't follow some sage advice like: Do first, then tell.

That’s not at all why she comes off as unhinged. It’s her irrational reaction and lack of logic.  She does in fact come off as unhinged but it’s okay if YOU disagree with me on that too

    • That was my point really. These anniversary party scenes are the first ones, and now they won't be able to use them (meaning these actual scenes, as aired, with OG Ted). They can recreate them but I doubt they will spring for all the extras to come back and film and recreate everything, so it will be more like tight closed in shots of Ted with one or two other actors, or snippets of Leslie's original speech where Ted wasn't visible. It would be hard to recapture the original energy of the scenes are as they were filmed in their full context. I just think that's too bad, but maybe they will prove me wrong. I never really saw what was so off in his portrayal to warrant a recast, anyway, so that colors my perception as well.
    • Yeah, and quite honestly, are there really that many scenes that are flashback-worthy at this point in the run?
    • I know at one point they were on Hulu & i-Tunes. I just checked it on JustWatch.com & it indicates 1 season on Prime Video & on AppleTV. Have fun!
    • That era is so weird...they made a big deal out of all three of those characters and then they just..disappeared! Not that I am complaining. We talk about the bad out of character writing for Alex under JFP..but this was one example that may have led them to write her being so obsessive with Nick.  WHY would Alex accept Flock of Seagulls guy as her brother? They had her in one scene (setting up the Alan return) complain that Alan abandoned her...she blackmailed him into leaving town and she had been angry at him for helping Brandon with Lujack and also using Spaulding for that dumb dreaming death thing. Endless scenes of her with Simon, I can't believe Bev wasn't bored to death! I would also add Pam writing the scene where she lets Ms. Sally die in front of her to protect Alan and  the writing for Alex could be screwy even before JFP.
    • On this day 34 years ago the final episode of Dallas and came in at an astonishing #2 in the ratings after two straight seasons of weak ratings. Interesting Knots was #27 for that week as well:

    • Thank you for clearing that up. I wasn't watching GL regularly yet at that point, but seems to me I should have remembered the big wedding after Leslie's death (which I do remember) described in the profile. Is there a web archive of SOD summaries, or are referring to your own personal collection?
    • I was bummed that 2.0 ended because Mcpherson (headwriter) had really set up some interesting stories and we never got to find out where the stories would go once they resumed production on 'season 2'. I remembered the EP (Ginger Smith) and a lot of the stars gave a lot of credit to McPherson being able to come in on very short notice and come up with stories/plots (I think it was a very short turnaround time of a few weeks).  It was nice that she got to redeem herself after her year long Days stint was not well reviewed/liked.

    • It seems like a setup for failure to review a single episode of a soap, but Cleveland Amory was a foolish man.  His taste was so predictable, that one wondered why bother reviewing a medium he so clearly disliked. (found on Facebook retro TV group) Another case in point of his misogyny from his review of Dark Shadows (Can you imagine the magazine with the widest circulation in the country insulting its customer in this way today?)
