General Hospital: August 2023 Discussion Thread

I doubt very seriously if the status of Carly, Nina, Sonny will change. I believe they all have 4 episode guarantees. 

Anyway, just watched the show & I have only  one typical soapy thought. Name change for the hospital: General NoHIPAA Hospital where  your secrets are out in the open all the time!

Olivia is supposed to be a couple years younger than Sonny.  Make of that what you will as Sonny's has de-aged through the years.  Since when was young Lois a partier?  We heard A LOT about Bensonhurst in the 90's and Lois was never described like that.   It was also weird that Olivia referred to Lois as someone Eddie might know.  Saying she was his ex-wife or Brooklyn's mother would have been much more relevant.

Idk, I get he has no idea who Lois is, but I think that is sort of important information.  He has to wonder who Brooklyn's mom is lol.  It would have been easy to slip that info in casually into the story or, you know, just don't use Lois as part of the story if the show doesn't want to connect the dots.

I don't get the whole story.  This Eddie Maine persona is nothing like Eddie Maine was.  He was still Ned just a leather pants wearing bar singer at night.  He wasn't like this.  This is a made-up personality in his head and he's using the name Eddie Maine.  It would be interesting if he thought it was 1995 and had to figure his life out from there, but that isn't the case.  I don't get the point of doing a throwback to history when it really has nothing to do with history at all.

I won’t go into any detail because I’ve said it before, but Joss just needs to die. And ruining Kristina isn’t going to make anyone like her. 

Hopefully, Dex will soon realize that he has feelings for Trina and take out the trash. The two of them developing feelings for each other and causing conflict for Sprina would be a much, much better story then Spencer catching feelings for Esme. 

The Austin/Ava stuff just needs to end. Same goes for Curtis’ whining.

I wanted Phyllis to be the the head of Kelly's. She has the same warmth as Ruby and Mary Mae. I wish they hadn't killed off Lenny. That would have made a nice husband and wife establishment.

That makes sense because their plots feel so discombobulated. They just pick up one minute, then cool off, then randomly pick back. I didn't even realize Cyrus was still on the show. Especially for a cast as large as this, you would think there's more foresight and planning into the plots.

If GH supposedly comes in under budget and is able to have all of these sets with so many characters, think about how much greater the show would be if they trimmed all of the useless characters, stuck to a core group of players with defined stories and had a decent supporting cast.

If anything, at the time Eddie was the best parts of Ned, let loose from his suits and power struggles and at times underhanded practices to protect the family or make ELQ more rich. Wasn’t Ned involved in the incinerator project that was going to be built on the side of town with the Ward House? He was better than Edward or Tracy, but still capable of being underhanded and power hungry.

Ned was the a$$hole, not Eddie (and both were awful for lying to Lois).

    • I never understood the point of Marchetti. Summer left the show for a job there in Italy. OK. When she returned they had Jack buy the company. Why couldn't Summer have returned and simply stated it was not a good fit, she missed her home , family/friends etc It was absurd that this internationally successful fashion empire could just be bought by a US cosmetics firm at the drop of a hat. What was the point when they never did anything with it at all? Summer simply could have gone to work at Jabot. And wasn't there some nonsense about an offshhoot called Marchetti Home? Was Phyllis attached to that at some point? This show...

    • Haven't seen today's ep yet but so will be interested to see the clothes. So far I think they have been very character specific (even if I don't like some of them eg Kat's cutsie style) Anita is very showy/glittery, Nicole classic elegance, Dani sexy/bold colors etc. Unlike Y&R which seems much more generic. Also BTG pays attention to the men's wardrobe and has developed a style for the boyz-which is harder to do with male fashion. The absence of any of Derek/Ashley at any of these big events again demonstrates how they are in a different universe to the rest of the show. Not that a nurse and a fireman would be there but still they seem destined at this point to stay in their own lane and have little interaction with the core of the show.
    • Agnes had written for Bernard Grant for many years on TGL as well as Ernest Graves and Joe Gallison,Doris Belack,Robert Milli,and  Antony Ponzini at AW. So she would probably gravitate to writing a role with an actor in mind or choosing someone she had written for before who she knew could deliver.
    • Once Johnny Dallas' cut himself off from Laurie Ann Karr and their son, and once Laurie successfully recovered from her mental problems, she wanted a new, fresh, and healthy start for the next chapter of her life. She legally reverted her name and changed John Victor's  surname to Karr. After moving to the country (when Teri  Keane was dropped from the show), Bill and Martha Marceau legally adopted Jennifer, the baby girl whom they had earlier taken in when the child's biological mother, Taffy Simms (and other bio family members) proved to be unfit to raise her. Jennifer legally and emotionally became a Marceau, and gave that name to her own daughter, whom Jennifer birthed through surrogacy as a single parent. Et...voila! The Karr and Marceau legacies live on.

    • BLQ is having second thoughts regarding putting her baby up for adoption. Chase is upset he can't tell Dante. So both are putting this on at lulus feet. Saying she is holding it over them. Lulu is doing none of this. 
    • Yes she absolutely was involved in that story which seems to have gone nowhere.  She didn't start to remove herself from the writing until 1973.
    • Y'all are bringing back great memories of AMC 2.0 for me.  I haven't thought about it and the new characters in so long, well since it aired, and I plan to go re-watch it now. When AMC ended, I finally came to peace with it and accepted that I will never watch an hour of a TV show daily in my life again... something that I had been doing since I was 6-7 years old. I was starting a new career, relationship, and chapter in life when AMC 2.0 came out.  I found a way to watch it, but things felt differently for me at the time and when it was so short-lived and gone, it became such a distant memory, sadly.
