General Hospital: March 2023 Discussion Thread

Too bad Marshall's not as interesting or vital a character as Morn was to the best Trek show ever.  LOL.

They missed an opportunity to at least have a few scenes with the doctor who misdiagnosed him (or the ones that kept misdiagnosing him).  I don't remember what specialties Monica or Tony practiced, but if the writers insisted on that lifelong misdiagnosis plot point, they should have had one of the show's old doctors show up and have a tough conversation and face the consequences.  We could have had a nice little c- or d-story simmering in litigation and normal-level retribution/remorse until they finally end up saving each other from some new accident or calamity and let bygones be bygones.

OMG same. He's not desiring of her right now but I would lost my sh&* if she does show up in a few weekas.

Okay...now we are just picking to pick.

 

If you were misdiagnosed about an illness for DECADES, you get the right to feel a way. Now if you keep going on about it for ohhhh six months...then be shady.  

 

Not policing mind you, js.

I recently read a science article that there has been a historical pattern of misdiagnoses of some Black people as having schizophrenia, when they don't ...
because ...

The very *real* and *rational* fear of racists coming after you overtly and subtly can cause you to complain a lot about this very real situation in our society.  And you can be reasonably upset and distrustful, and that doesn't make you crazy at all.  It's actually logical, and makes you watch your back with good reason.  And also it makes you *angry* at life situations with good reason.
But ignorant doctors have misunderstood this and assumed it was paranoia and crazed anger, and thus misdiagnosed a few Black people as being schizophrenic. 

If GH actually explored this, that would be interesting.

However, I imagine they're probably retconning Marshall for plotpoint purposes only.

Sonny and Carly go through this periodically. Perpetual leads who go through lulls with nothing to do but their screen time barely changes. Until this recent story with someone trying to kill Sonny he was literally carrying Nina's purse for 3 months.

He was a regular Amy at the nurses station or Ruby at Kelly’s (but less entertaining than either) in everyone else’s business.  It was both ridiculous and hilarious. Now it’s Carly’s turn.  I’m okay with either.

LOL!  There was a period for at least half a year where Sonny was sitting at the Metro Court overhearing other people's conversations and waiting for Nina to finish up her legitimate job.  He was a regular gossip girl to the point I actually questioned his airtime.  I know people have questioned MB's airtime for years, but I was genuinely wondering why I was watching Sonny day after day just wandering around the hotel bar for days at a time.

You aren't wrong about him eating the show for years and I am actually fine with him in the background, but it seemed like he was on 4 days a week following Nina around.  At least when he was on 4 days a week previously he was doing something.  Idk, this probably isn't a popular sentiment, but if we are going to see Sonny that often at least have him do more than passing on idle gossip and literally holding Nina's purse while she runs the hotel and has actual conversations that drive story lol.

3-15

 

Hmmmm with the reveal that the prison in Victor isn't going anywhere and he's on the warpath...I wonder if the show will be doing for the 60th what they did with the 50th where they gave a little everything (humor, action-adventure, romance, drama) with Victor being the action-adventure part a la Luke, Laura, Starvos? 

 

Yeeeah I wasn't feeling that Cameron announcing his leaving. I know the writers were trying to show Cameron conflicted over Joss, but yeeeah not feeling that. He should still be back at her for Dex and show it more honestly.

 

I was feeling Spencer in those pants though. Mmmm. lol. I continue to like this Amnesiac Esme storyline in how she continues to ask all these good questions making her situation all the more complicated. And with all that history? Yeah, anyone would have questions. And it keeps Laura/Kevin in the mix.

 

KRISTINA!!!! The real Heir Apparent to Sonny's empire. But she doesn't live with Sonny in the penthouse right now, right? So that's Sonny, Dex, Spencer...Nina in that penthouse? That said...so if Cameron is leaving, I guess Spencer is going to be the spoiler in Dex/Joss storyline now, huh?

 

 

Hmmmmm that WOULD be interesting. One thing that I've noticed with these writers has been that they do...whether it's clusmy, jarringly unexpected, or well...has been how they have touched on black people issues that I really do not see on the soaps barely anymore. In actual dialogue. 

 

But you are probably right, and it's going to turn into a plotpoint.

    • Vernon actually had a cravat not a turtleneck. I didn't like Nicole's dress with her breastes prominent.
    • the tweet linked to https://www.forbes.com/sites/marcberman1/2025/05/02/ruth-buzzi-dies-the-rowan--martin-laugh-in-star-was-88/ That Forbes account of Ruth Buzzi said she'd had Alzheimer's for 10 years? -- they are quoting her facebook as saying that. But her facebook says this: Ruth Buzzi  July 24, 1936 – May 1, 2025 Ruth Buzzi died peacefully in her sleep at home in Texas. She was in hospice care for several years with Alzheimer’s disease. Memorial arrangements by Lacy Funeral Home, Stephenville, Texas to be announced. Her family requests donating to Alzheimer’s research (www.alz.org) in lieu of flowers. https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl  But she was tweeting a couple of years ago...  There's more info on @slick jones page here https://boards.soapoperanetwork.com/topic/55788-soap-hoppers-the-soap-actors-and-roles-thread/page/380/#comment-1869080 A few hours before her death was announced, her husband posted onto her facebook this: https://www.facebook.com/RealRuthBuzzi/posts/pfbid02hxSLCXSKM62DHE72RFXeY8s8M4PXeAcDJGkhfnTLKVNVpZqSYmAREpr7W7RgDhUzl This is Ruth Buzzi‘s husband writing on her page.  She asked me to thank all of you for being so good to her for so many years.  She wants you to know she probably had more fun doing those shows than you had watching them.    Because of health issues, she’s must withdraw from writing, but she will still be reading and enjoying your posts.   If you've met Ruthie and had a picture taken with her, please post it below.   If you have a great memory from her career that you enjoyed — a special comedy sketch, or a moment that made you laugh — share that with us. Ruthie loves you. --------------
    • Link to the official announcement on her Facebook account: https://www.facebook.com/100052018909496/posts/pfbid031y2oHoqXMuMCSZg1RToxEVH37UZCvGmrp6JhGBQXoGCv3X6mwouwxATxHF5PtvTJl/?app=fbl
    • I feel like the show has been like this for the past 15 or more years, IMO. Things happen but there are never or RARELY any long-term impacts. Instead, everything (characters, history) is just reset to what it was before. In a couple of months, Hope will be working at Forrester again. No one will ever mention the takeover. Brooke and Ridge will be back together for the millionth time, etc etc.  It's hard to get invested in a story when you know this is how the show works.
    • Martin and Smitty's kids not being there seemed like a glaring omission. Also, Naomi and Jacob weren't there as well. I know some of this is probably budget, but it seems like there could be a way to still have them all there.
    • Thanks so much for finding this & posting it. This makes me so angry!!!
    • Dani had a flashback of Dani getting ready for an event with Bill. The gown she wore in the flashback was light green and elegant and gorgeous. The light green flashback dress was quite different than the red/orange/lilac swirling print beaded gown that Dani is wearing to Nicole's anniversary party.   But there was clearly the show's intention to have the Dupree women (except for Nicole) wearing shades of red.   I love Anita but the red gown that she's wearing to the anniversary party -- not flattering.
    • I think you can find them here https://www.tumblr.com/tagged/OLTL What's there is recaps from SOD at the times it shows which is usually from way back up till 2003. Most if not all of this is due to Matt Smith who you may recall from his AW playlists on YoutTube. 
    • Party wardrobe color theme: Good Queen Nicole is in a solid gold gown. The other Dupree women (plus Smitty) are wearing shades of red/pink (with purple accents) -- Anita, Dani, Chelsea, Kat, in dresses. -- Smitty in white shirt and maroon jacket. (did not see Naomi?) "The help" Eva and Mona are in black. Antagonist queen Leslie/Dana in a black/gold gown. The men (except for Smitty) are wearing black. Ted - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (Ted's jacket was shiny with back polka dots on black background) Vernon - black turtleneck, white dress shirt over it, black jacket (no tie). Andre - black T-shirt, gold chain, black jacket. Martin - black shirt, black tie, black jacket. Dr. Carlton Fitzgerald - white shirt, black tie, black jacket. (did not see Jacob?) I didn't see Naomi and Jacob at the party, but perhaps they arrive later? The evening is not over yet.
    • Tate seems to love throwing punches now

      I enjoyed his scenes with Johnny. Both of their perspectives make perfect sense to me and are completely relatable. There’s no right or wrong person in this situation and I like that. LH  does pretty well when Tate is angry too, but I also liked the way that he comforted Johnny in the end. Days is finally remembering that they’re cousins. And, Johnny looked hot in the beginning   Btw, Johnny going to work for Xander? That could be interesting. And, also can cause some more animosity between him and EJ.  And again, Marlena/Belle were great. Scenes like theirs really seem to be commonplace under Paula/Jeanne and I couldn’t be happier that they are. It’s helps us get a much better understanding of these characters and why they do the things that they do and feel the way that they feel. Marlena supporting Belle was a bit of surprise, considering her insane reaction when she walked in on EJ and Belle, but I also feel that it’s totally in character for her, both as a psychiatrist and as Belle’s mother.  As for Sophia and Amy… I miss the first Sophia lol but I can’t help but think that Amy suddenly being so nice is foreshadowing of something. Either that, or Paula/Jeanne aren’t biased against her
