GENERAL HOSPITAL February 2023 Discussion Thread

Ugh...why did they have to break up Liz & Nicolas so abruptly today?  I wanted more entanglements and story between them, but now she's going to end up back in that dead-end relationship with the world's worst vampire sucking the life out of her again.

The only good story right now is Laura & the Cassadines.  They need to expand that family into a darker version the Quartermaines.  Everything else is just dull or dreadful right now.

Britt being on a wall of GH's deceased staff was a nice touch, but I didn't see Audrey up there.  Is she not dead?  Where is she?  Weird that Edward & Lily (as donors?) are so prominently at the top compared to the leading characters that played doctors and nurses at GH.  I think I saw Alan and Tony, but I don't think I saw Amy.  I guess we'll see the wall in greater detail for the 60th anniversary or whenever they do Epiphany's death episode.

Scenes with Austin and Finn feel so belabored. I'm sure we're meeting guarantees but enough! And watching Michael Easton gravel talk his way through the grief of his non-relationship with Liz is physically painful to watch.

They have got to give Genie something substantial to do. The marriage with Kevin is not it.

Britt's being given a month long mourning as if she were a 30 year vet. Enough about her already.

This week has been deathly dull. Let's get some other balls dropping, at least add some humor or something.

Something I have been fretting about & am so grateful that It looks like it won't happen. 

I wonder if we will follow Dante & Sam to England. It is so crazy that they would take off with a 5 yr old address for the  nanny Maggie.

Any time I say this people get mad! The truth is that Genie made it clear to Frank she would not return again in the mid-2010s without a) a contract and b) a serious love interest, and what they gave her was Kevin who was on recurring so it meant not hiring someone new. Kevin is a fairly active character in story and Genie and Jon Lindstrom clearly love being paired together, but the relationship has never made much sense to me at all. They have a lot of fans in the audience but I think people are just happy to see Laura happy. I would play them but ultimately break them up. Laura deserves a new, action-oriented man where the Luke question can be openly dealt with (as opposed to shrugged off with pablum and very surface material, the way they've done it so far) and Kevin deserves poor Lucy.

Let Laura have an affair! With a man who's lives that rough and tumble life but isn't some sort of Luke copy. Someone slightly younger maybe, in their 40s (and NOT Austin or Finn who are "40s") that would be exciting for her and the audience. If they played it right it could absolutely work, especially since she wouldn't be cheating on the love of her life but Kevin, the guy who gets less screentime than his fake mute twin brother.

None of that makes me mad.

What I like most about Genie this go round is how she claims so many as family & how she tells them all off with regularity! They let Laura have dialog to tell people off where no one else gets to. I loved how she tore into Nik yesterday. And the day of all the crisis & babies being born all over as Mayor, frantic but authoritative. 

They didn't ask me but I think they should give up on Finn. They wrote him into an awful corner. I don't see them writing him out of it.

I would put her with a Black WSB man, someone who can compete with the shadow of Luke at least. I wouldn't do an affair per se but you can play the quad drama as she slowly goes to this man and Kevin goes to Lucy. But of course, I wanted it all to begin first with a forced (and platonic) marriage to wacky Victor while Kevin got locked in the asylum by bad guys for six months (only to be freed by Lucy) so what do I know.

You always want to put someone with a Black Man .

Laura cussing people out is the highlight of any episode, because unlike when people like Sonny or Carly or even Alexis do it Laura is a fundamentally good person who CAN speak from morally superior place. It's gratifying to watch her put someone in their place.

You guys are no fun.

    • 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.
    • Jason, just let me say that it was not my intent to any way impugn any of your data  or research. I'm very sorry if it came out that way. Obviously the person I got these 4 November episodes from has mislabeled files, multiples, which I was certainly unaware of.  When I am editing it is all about what I see & hear. Later, I find time for greater reflection.  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.  If you find you are no longer interested in the edit, that is fine. I have no ego in this. I did it only to share it.
