General Hospital: July 2023 Discussion Thread

Oh, interesting. Hmmm... don't know if the character would work now since they're intent on keeping Willow alive and stuck to Michael. Maybe with a recast it could happen (Michael), but who knows...

Wasn't Christina in Paris with Serena? I vaguely remember that happening.

I was just a casual viewer of PC, although I had a pretty solid knowledge of who was who and what not.  I was just really confused by it all.  You explained it pretty well, but I absolutely could not tell you what the hell I watched back then.   The idea isn't bad honestly-I just think there were so many loose ends to explain it actually just spiraled out of control.   

Listen, I don't like the choice of Heather being Esme's mom.  It really doesn't make sense.  Heather has become this super villian that's been everywhere.  Rachel Locke works for me.  And you know, if one day Kelly Monaco just said she was playing Livvie instead of Sam one day I don't think it would make any difference. 

They absolutely should not pair Zoe Ward with Michael at this point, but in 2011 it wasn't the worst idea.

I don't remember if Serena said that.  It's possible.

I thought in concept, on paper resolving the PC continuity issue was a fun idea - I don't mind a little supernatural jaunt, this is the show that did Casey the Alien. But the execution was a total mess and looked cheap and goofy as hell, and Ron's weird workarounds to 'explain' things re: Caleb, Stephen Clay, etc. sucked, especially since ultimately I think they turned out to also just be some sort of nonsense cover story for the magic spell or whatever. The plot doesn't make much sense at all, you have to wing it in your head lol. I also did not watch the final arcs of PC, which that story leaned heavily on. Points for continuity, but c'mon.

I have no use for Kelly remaining on the show at this point tbh, I think Sam is spent, maybe forever. But if she was up to do a few days as Livvie to tie some of it off I wouldn't mind. No idea how you could make that work at this point other than tossing an explanation off in two to four lines of dialogue vs. doing another months-long magic vampire story, lol. Just give a quick explanation that feels plausible, doesn't involve the words 'magic ring' and let fans blame the magic for the rest lol.

So, honestly, I have never been sure why KeMo didn't play Livvie in the first place.  I know there are a ton of things that had to be explained away, but it couldn't be any worse than Sam's actual backstory.   I assume Guza/Frons just wanted to distance themselves from that failed soap.  For Ron to try to tie it all back together a decade later just seems like a recipe for failure.  You've lost any momentum you possibly had from PC

Per Soapcentral.com:

❝ Even though Monaco will be remaining in the fictional town of Port Charles, she will portray a newly created character by the name of Samantha. According to network insiders, the writers at General Hospital felt it would be too difficult to address the supernatural aspects of Monaco's Port Charles character on General Hospital. ❞

In other words, Robert Guza Jnr & Charles Pratt Jnr didn't want to continue what Barbara Esensten and James Harmon Brown essentially would have handed them.

TBH since Liam is a utter dud on BOLD, FV should offer SC what ever he wants to return as Dillon, at least then he could once again play a beloved character(which Liam never really was lol)

 

 I like Kevin and Laura, but Kevin and Lucy were just so great together, but Kevin can only be cheated on so many times by Lucy without looking a huge fool lol 

Supposedly recast Molly is permanent? lol

Basically half the posts on this very thread and every GH monthly thread are answering which 10 cast members we'd cut.......

If I were BAS and her family I would probably steer clear of things like twitter and GH Facebook.  She's very "youthful" in real life though.

  Poor guy trying to defend his sister on GH Facebook of all reasonable places.

Seriously.  It's cringey.  I am sure he meant well, but sharing things like she was 30 when she played a 16 year in awkward lol?

  And on the GH Facebook Fan Page?  The most down to earth, clear headed GH place on the internet.  If this "permanent" Molly is playing Molly in a year from now I will be shocked.   It's funny though because did anyone really even care about Molly before HP's issues and these recasts?  I didn't.

    • Yeah I saw it and it's still idiotic. I like the Pope, but it's not interrupt shows newsworthy
    • As someone who was watching OLTL at the time, Dano did excellent work, but the writing was weird. Dano even got Emmy nominated for what she did. However, it did feel that the writers did not know what to do with her, but to be fair, it did feel like a lot of that was that the character was a network mandate and the writers were making it up as they were going on. I didn't watch Dano's trek around all the soaps. That kind of thing would have worked better with an ABC performer not someone who had been off OLTL for decades. I can't imagine AW without Felicia Gallant. I really don't want to because she provided so much joy for me when there was so much disappointment on that show. The only time I thought her character didn't work was the John/Felicia storyline but it got Anna Holbrook an Emmy so I can't complain all that much. It's just another example of drama at the expense of character.
    • Bringing this over from the soccer/soaps ratings thread yesterday:  Errol said: "CBS put out a notice that it could preempt at a moment's notice as the Pope selection continues, dependent on how long it takes, of course." New pope just chosen, name to be announced soon. Yeah CBS-NewYork channel 2 is airing Pope coverage instead of Y&R right now.
    • @brisbydog - I like that you have a signature font, très chic Abe and Paulina's new apartment was the first thing I noticed.  I don't understand why people over a certain age in Salem automatically move into a condo? When it seems just as simple to make the set seem like a detached home.  But, I will give points to attention to detail of choosing colors that compliment the Black actors in the scene. Which then led to the second thing I noticed.  Why would EJ want Kayla's office, when his is 3xs the size?  Also, even if he buys the hospital, won't Kayla get to keep her office? Lastly, can we at least give Cat the agency to decide on her own with whom she wishes to date?  Do men actually need to negotiate on her behalf?  She's stunning.  My advice would be if Chad is friend-zoning her after a year together, move on to his richer brother.
    • OH!!! I love it. I can't believe I missed that. In one of the 2 fan events held the 2 years after the sorry end of our lovely show, both  Anna Stuart & Stephen Schnetzer attended & I got to talk to each of them. Obviously I was in heaven. Although at least I didn't do my shy star struck thing.
    • We probably won't get any of our CBS soaps today cause of the Pope stuff, cause you know they have to air it on regular network despite having 24/7 news channels

    • I still don't know when/how did Iris find out about Evan's connection to Janice?
    • lol Cass and Donna went on a bowling date!
    • As well as insulting our host, being rude to some of the nicest members who correct you, and having an inflated sense of duty. While others may be able to add numerous offenses, the egocentrism to force any conversation off-topic to focus on you is the most egregious act for me.  This is light entertainment, an interactive discussion, not the shallotpeel-hour.
    • Yes, that is why. I mean, not last minute but it was not what Shapiro originally wanted. First, she tried to buy the show. Then she tried to buy the character. Meanwhile several other companies also tried to buy the show.
