The outdoor shoot with Laura and Scorpio was well done.  Good sound quality. Even lighting. Kudos to the Gh team for figuring out how to do an outdoor shoot well. 
 

Marc Samuel was rusty and missed his mark. I wish they didn’t give so much of the emotional fallout of the episode to a character we see so infrequently. 
 

Have we seen Marshall\Curtis’ home set before? It is beautiful, and has an interesting perspective and depth.

The writing on GH is good right now. Night and day with YR. Today’s script was well paced. The characters got a chance to interact naturally in a big scheme, it was not forced or over dialogued. It was more show, than tell. 
 

The payoff of Epiphany not only writing the letter for Elizabeth, but also encouraging her promotion was perfectly plotted. Using Monica creatively via the phone gave the moment the emotional gravitas you only get between cast members who have worked together for 20+ years. 
 

…also, I though GH was on the slimmest budget of the soaps. The production looked beautiful. The darker, cooler lighting looked crisp and high end. The sets fit a large cast without them looking squeezed together. The director was able to change between closeups and wide shots seamlessly, the camera movement brought a lot of interest to the viewing experience. You can tell Valentini appreciates a strong director. 
 

I am so impressed. I hope this GH creative renewal leads to good ratings.

This was a nice tribute.  I could have done without the cliche with Marshall and if only I hadn’t encouraged her- she would still be alive nonsense.

Milo of all people was the first character that really made me feel something in the episode, his grief seemed very real.  This must have been a hard but very important day for the cast and crew.

The biggest mistake on today's episode was that there was no mention of Epiphany's late son, Stanford.  He should have been acknowledged.  Then again, they should have mentioned him from time to time when Epiphany was alive.  Epiphany was a mother and that should have been recognized.

Did Monica say "Another Hardy slash March"?  Who is the March family that Elizabeth is related to?

Epiphany got a very nice tribute episode.  Did GH ever do an episode for Nurse Amy Vining's death?  Did Leslie, Laura and her kids/grandkids and Bobbie ever say or wonder where their relative and gossipy co-worker went?

Sweet that Felicia was there at the memorial and brought along Anna & Robert's grandchild.  I can't believe Felicia's grandmother Mariah was pointlessly killed off the show, but the beloved actress June Lockhart is still alive and semi-active!  I guess Constance Towers is from that generation, too.  We need a Golden Girls of GH reunion.  May they all live long and continue to flourish.

Lucy very poignantly referenced both Amy and Jessie in the first returning Nurses Ball in 2013. They unveiled gigantic pictures of them onstage as she honored them. Amy is now up on the memorial wall shown in this episode with Epiphany and all the rest. It's often shown any time a castmember dies.

Audrey was the sister of Nurse Lucille March, the show's original head nurse.

As I re-watched today's GH (it is that good), I had to ask myself how to two actors who has zero chemistry on one show, moved me to tears without a single work spoken. Those two actors? Tristan Rodgers and Genie Francis.

They are marvelous together on GH, but AWFUL on Y&R. 

When was Mariah killed off? I feel like she was the easiest excuse whenever Kristina Wagner's contract lapsed.

I also noticed that Kristina is being used in so many of the promo photos and interviews for the 60th. Kudos to FV for trying to write the wrong of her poor treatment under JFP/Guza. Kristina is so beautiful, balances comedic and dramatic material well, and is related to so many people on canvas. Why she was ever written out is beyond me.

Wow! I never made the connection that GH will now have three members of Elizabeth's family in the head nurse position: Lucille, Audrey, and Elizabeth.

Was Bobbie Spencer ever head nurse? If so, why wouldn't she apply for the vacant role? Wouldn't she win-out based on experience.

      Daytime belonged to CBS. They would have been making a lot of $$$ with that lineup. For context, this is the lineup at that time. Only one soap on ABC (GH) and NBC (TD) which was still an anthology at that point. So it wasn't until the opposition added more soaps that they became competitive. NBC CBS ABC 10:00am Say When! CBS Morning News LOCAL 10:25am NBC News 10:30am Word for Word I Love Lucy (R) 11:00am Concentration The McCoys (R) The Price is Right 11:30am Missing Links Pete and Gladys (R) The Object Is... 12:00 Noon Your First Impression Love of Life Seven Keys 12:25pm CBS News 12:30pm Truth or Consequences Search for Tomorrow Father Knows Best (R) 12:45pm The Guiding Light 12:55pm NBC News 1:00pm LOCAL LOCAL The Tennessee Ernie Ford Show 1:25pm 1:30pm As the World Turns LOCAL 2:00pm Let's Make a Deal Password 2:25pm NBC News 2:30pm The Doctors Art Linkletter's House Party Day in Court 2:55pm ABC News 3:00pm Loretta Young Theatre (R) To Tell the Truth General Hospital 3:25pm CBS News 3:30pm You Don't Say!

      Leslie's fantasy

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Has BTG been using flashbacks much? Of course, as a new show there aren't many f/b worthy moments but I think they can get by w/o having to use/recreate the Leslie reveal scene. What other 'soap' tropes have they employed or ignored so far? We've talked about the lack of traditional cliffhangers with lingering camera shots. They have done a couple of fantasy scenes. Has anyone apart from Dana had talk to themselves scenes? Montages?

      Y&R/B&B/GL Vault Updates

      By DemetriKane · Posted

      Thank You!!! @rsclassicfanforever and to anyone else who contributed to the vaults over the years. I have dipped in/out and gotten my life watching Y&R early years. I never would had the appreciation for characters like Lorie Brooks if not for the Vaults, so again, Thanks.

      B&B: Old/Classic Discussion & Articles

      By BoldKara · Posted

      Another lot of skipped episodes to look forward to when the time comes on Videoland. So annoying. They have skipped so many, especially in  season 15 where they skipped 19 episodes throughout the season. Is it just me or is the vault down? It's like a different error message this time so it's hard to know if it's me this time.

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Contessa Donatella · Posted

      Hmm, okay.  BTW, my only problem with Kai & the surgery story is where is this guy's family? And, another BTW, I think I may have inadvertently added to that rumor from last year about a male descendant of Justus Ward. You see, that is an idea I could really get behind! Like I would pay to see those scenes. And, true, I did hear it ... [sheepish grin]

      Yes they can. While rare, its not like soaps in the past havent said F that and used flashbacks of a scene even when a recast has been done. OLTL used to do that

      All My Children Tribute Thread

      Well, I am glad to know that & for it to make sense, so thanks for the info &  the perspective, also. At the end of AMC 1.0, I thought the new young talent was really quite good, but I missed Eden & NuBianca just ... well, I wasn't 100% sold on her & Bianca was so important to me. But then, Tad & Dixie were also important & yep, there's another problem, for me I mean. I'm not your typical AMC fan but I hung in there anyway. I know what you mean because it wasn't as good as it once had been but it was still Agnes's show in Pine Valley. Some of that is a bittersweet nostalgic clinging to the past, I guess. By that time I'd been through so many show cancellations. AW, Santa Barbara, PC, The City, GL, ATWT.
