GENERAL HOSPITAL February 2023 Discussion Thread

[Faulkner]

Karla wouldn’t work, no. Napiera would be a better Jordan, but that role is a big lotta nothing. If Cassandra Creech were about 10-15 years younger, she’d be an interesting choice, but all of the great black daytime actresses who would kick ass as Gia have moved on to much bigger and better.

That reminds me that I had no idea that Gia or Taggert (I figured the actor was at least part black but no clue about the character) were supposed to be black until their mother showed up. Marisa Ramirez, despite those braids, was decidedly not black.

She's been on Blue Bloods for a decade btw @Vee. I know.

I am aware lol, that's why I said recast. Gia the character at least was Afro-Latino and it was heavily implied she could be Sonny's sister BITD. I still miss Lynne Moody as Florence.

Where do we want the link to People to the picture? Here okay?

I didn’t see Leslie Charleson in the photo.  I wonder if the show will comment on her status.  Is she retired, or recuperating?  I hope we get to see her again as Monica, if only to say goodbye if she is ready to leave.

[Contessa Donatella]

Yes, I looked for her right off, too. I heard recuperating. Literally, a fall with a break. I've been very concerned, too. I don't recognize the woman just down from Wally & just to the side of Becky. Oh, it's Jane Elliot!! I forgot she's already back.

Supposedly she had an accident last spring(?), was recovering and eager to go back to work and then we heard nothing. I'm very concerned about Leslie and I doubt I'm the only one.

Nice to see Jane Elliot back next to Wally in the official photo as she is apparently back long-term. I'm not going to get into my spiel again but I somehow doubt the most popular young couple on the show being in a corner behind third-tier player (I love Brook Kerr but she is) Portia is deliberate.

[Liberty City]

I made a topic for it, much like the 50th photo for The Young and the Restless:

It would be nice to find a HQ version. I can't seem to find one at the link.

Hopefully we get a new opening. But im not holding my breath...

[Vee]

Thanks for the HQ.

The Powerpoint opening is shameful. They should just cut 10 needless people and redo FOTH. But they won't. It has never been matched and tbh you probably don't need to update the theme much.

No little Leo is an oversight, he's been so present. Same with Jake who is rarely seen but so good, but oh well. I'd rather see them vs. annoying Charlotte? Violet? or Michael's creepy kid.

Thanks for doing that! I hope a greater resolution one will be posted soon, too. 

[Liberty City]

Jeff Kober & Michael E. Knight are missing, as well.

[Vee]

Is Cyrus still a going concern on this show? Come on, GH.
