GENERAL HOSPITAL February 2023 Discussion Thread

They should've had Taggert warning Spencer to treat his "Baby Girl" right and not to be like his father. Throwing in a Gia/Nikolas reference would've been great and fun for old school viewers too. 

It's sad too because I thought Gregory Harrison and Nancy Lee Grahn would have chemistry. But they're bantering doesn't do much for me. If anything, I wished they would've brought on Gregory Harrison and Kim Delaney on as Jeff and Carolyn Webber instead but that's another story.

I had to laugh when Joss asked him, "Are you five?" I'm always for the Bromance betw Spencer & Cam, but Spencer was just being silly at the wedding! 

I continue to love lots of dresses & tuxes. Portia's dress & veil, Terri's dress, Trina always looks good, etc. Liz looked good, if a bit spooked. Spencer's tux looked like a period piece, not modern. 

I am tired of Portia hollering at Jordan. 

I thought the "Forever hold your piece" line was a great cliffhanger moment. (Or is it peace?) 

I was glad Sonny got Nina to go to the wedding. She needed to leave the hospital. 

Liesl & Carly in the elevator was rich especially with Liesl's history with Robin & Anna! 

It troubles me that Willow & Michael are going to marry in two weeks & she may only have *weeks* to live & Sonny's gun deal is gonna go down in 2 weeks!

After the recasting of Gia, Nik/Gia were severely backburned and did a whole lot of nothing.  Gia started helping Alexis with law stuff pretty randomly and dropped modeling.  I think Nik/Gia broke up over Zander though.  Nothing romantic was happening with Gia/Zander, but I think Nik was just jealous Zander was spending time with Gia.  In the end Nik tried to get Zander to leave town by blackmailing or paying him or something and Gia found out and broke up with Nik.  It was very anticlimactic.

@janea4old I would never advocate for anyone to shut up about rape, my apologies if it came across that.

I was simply talking from a cultural/publication standpoint. I don't even know how you would release anything related to GH without dedicating a substantial section to Luke and Laura. They could contextualize it, they could lambast it (as they should) but that would still result in their story getting a good amount of coverage. To the majority of people even aware of General Hospital, they are General Hospital.

I don't even need to see Karla Mosley on daytime again. Napiera Groves, sure why not.

Of course, he doesn't KNOW that she was, does he? But, his spidey sense being suspicious of her is certainly on point! One thing soaps have taught me, is I enjoy people bickering. Joss & Spencer, the twins elsewhere, etc. Someone should nail Joss on her atrocious behavior toward Cam. It might as well be Cam's best bud!!

@janea4oldI got a kick out of Genie being quoted as saying, "Laura Vining Faulkner Webber Baldwin Spencer Cassadine Spencer Collins Webber Collins!" I mean, that's a subtle way to be somebody more than just Laura of Luke& ....

I have no idea but neither, definitely not Mosley.

I remember some of that, yeah. I know they're still claiming Gia is a lawyer today but I'd bring back the model/fashion angle somehow lol. Did Marisa play the break-up or did Andrea Pearson? I'm pretty sure it was the latter.

    • Haha, love to hear it, and thank you! Yeah, I just write down thoughts/notes as I'm watching in this viewing journal I'm keeping.  So, you get my raw, honest thoughts in the moment without me having to go back and remember or curate anything.

        Watros is great, and I've liked her from the beginning, so I'm excited to see her evolve and shine even more as Annie continues to descend. I'll keep an eye out for that scene.  I have to say, Rick cracks me up, there are times when he makes jokes and you can tell the actor is having fun with it and cracking himself up. He's endearing. Let me suffer!    So funny how big Josh's hair is in the 80s. Sign of the times, I guess.   I can't wait to finally see the Sonni storyline and watch a younger Michelle Forbes shine. It's on my list, I will go back in time eventually and do this  
    • This was late 1993, right before Roger is shot. 
    • Haha I guess so, and in this recent case, Alan absolutely deserved it (many times over, honestly).
    • It's hard to remember, as Holly and Blake always seemed to be on the outs over something.
    • Ohhh yes, these were exciting!  What year was this?  Another added bonus, watching Tangie lurk around like a thief with that black beanie.

      I'm happy to hear I'm not alone in my thoughts over Gilly's exit and Vivian's first and likely only contract storyline. It was just a shame. On one hand, I'm glad they decided to finally write for this family (as Gilly was sorely underused in 1995), but then on the other... that was what they decided? Sure, it was a bit soapy, but oh so gross. They could have come up with something better.
    • Women slapping guys is a little more common.  I grew up with CBS, so it doesn't seem strange to me. If you got a slap, you usually really deserved it.
    • That could be it too. I just remember a slap at some point. That would have been around when she was made at Holly for "ruining" her one-sided relationship with Alan Michael. I don't know if you will be getting to 2000 (if you do - buckle up!) but there's a character who was intended to be Stacy.
    • Agree with all of this. They use stuff like the redecoration and the party as major events and nothing comes of it. Kyle/Claire is of no interest to me because Kyle has already been deeply in love with Lola and summer so his devotion to Claire is more of the same. And Claire is a character that came from a nonsense rewrite and now is presented as Little Miss Innocent, her dark past swept away.That charm bracelet of Nikki's must weigh a ton. The list of grandchildren seemed endless. The thing is, most of them are offscreen and ignored. Victoria seems like a neglectful parent. Was Dylan mentioned? Another dumb rewrite character. Not only is the show hampered by so many vet charcters, TPTB don't seem interested in venturing into new areas with them. Cole was brought by but there hasn't been any dramatic story that could impact on Victoria? What had he been doing all those years? So many characters w/o stories talking about businesses we never see.  
    • I thought it was Sherry Stringfield, but maybe it was before Blake slept with Ross. 
    • Thank you for the great background and summary - very helpful!  Yes, very odd they never brought her back, but at least J mentioned her, so not truly forgotten. Ah interesting, I guess I never realized that CBS was a bit more conservative/old-fashioned in a way, at least pre-2000 or so. It's funny, I wrote that about slapping, and then a few episodes later, Vivian storms into the Spaulding mansion and slaps Alan. It's like I spoke it into existence.
