General Hospital: August 2022 Discussion Thread

Franco needed to die (the sooner, the better), but killing off Karen and Logan was short-sighted and stupid. Josh Duhon actually looked like he could have been Scotty's son. I heartily agree that the way GH marginalizes and sidelines its beloved vets is shameful.

I do wish that whatever issues Liz has were to do with Carolyn as opposed to Jeff. As an never before seen character, Carolyn is an open book and could be written as a complete monster if the writers so wished.

And now that I think about it, I kinda like the irony of Jeff ending a disastrous marriage only to find out each time that his next wife was even worse lol (not that he was ever entirely blameless in his marriages to Monica and Heather).

The more that I see social media posts celebrating the anniversary of other actors, the more I believe the theory that both felt slighted that their anniversary has not been celebrated.

At first I thought it may be due to the fact that both have not been on GH consistently for the past 45 years.  Kin famously went off to Texas for a bit, and JZ also took some time off in the 1980s.  But, then I remembered that Genie Francis also had jobs outside of GH within those 45 years and she was celebrated.  So, I don't know what the issue is with the lack of recognition, but it seems like the most reasonable theory.

Until JFP terminated her contract, Jackie was only gone for a year or so in the early 1980’s.  Of the four of them, Leslie has been on the longest as far as still being used.  Genie is gone for a decade at a time, and Kin has come and gone the entire 45 years.

They should be celebrated, it’s a shame.  Y&R had no issue celebrating two recurring characters with Ashley and Traci!

    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.   
    • That's so funny, that's how I listen to Montecito - while walking my dog. I'll have to check out Forever & a Day.
