General Hospital: October 2023 Discussion Thread

[Contessa Donatella]

Hmm, I thought it was more of a wand. It's not? 

[carolineg]

It's a wand with UV lighting.

Here's a picture of Sasha showing it on the shopping network

The four highlights of today's episode:

1. Laura and Kevin's homecoming

-The show is always good when Ace is on.

2. Chase, Gregory, and Finn discussing his illness.

3. Brook Lynn, Lois, and Olivia

-I think this is Amanda Sefton's first scene between BLQ and her mother.

4. Terry and Yuri

Are you serious??? I want to ditch that Amazon Baby and his wretched mother.

I'd rather go back to seeing kids and babies appear on holidays and birthdays only than to have what we're getting with Esme and Ace.

Lois’ accent makes me cringe

I kind of agree and I love Lois.  I think you get used to it?  It's just been so long and we weren't ready for it.

[Liberty City]

I happen to think it's not as strong as the 1990's accent, and I'm A-OK with that. And it's at least more tolerable than Kentucky Fried Martin's accent.

Ignore them. They obviously troll.

[carolineg]

I honestly think it's just jarring at first.  I always tend to cringe at it when I hear it and then get over it.  I'll have to watch some old clips to judge if it's less distinct.  I think Rena does fine with it though.  To be very clear it's a minor annoyance for me from an awesome character.  99% of my complaints are major annoyances from awful characters.  Lois is still top tier amazing in my book. 

[Liberty City]

Yes, she is! I'd kill for TPTB to do anything to keep on her, despite her leaving Los Angeles.

[Contessa Donatella]

I love accents. With Rena, hearing Lois's accent was just this great feeling of being home. 

I love women screaming when they see each other for the first time after awhile apart! I attended a women's college & the whole first week back after break was the sound of 4,000 women taking turns screaming. 

On DAYS I even loved Johnny & Susan screaming & hugging to the max. 

I hope GH does well with Rena. 

Did y'all hear what Real had to say about working at GH? 

 

[AbcNbc247]

Glad to see her back, but I couldn’t help it yesterday

And I also laugh every time they talk about Bensonhurst. Currently, it’s literally nothing like they describe it

[carolineg]

@Liberty Cityis correct though.  RS has taken it down a notch since the 90's with the accent.  Olivia and Brooklyn also starting to dip into accents probably didn't help.  

Ha!  I am from California and everything I know about Bensonhurst GH taught me.  Are you telling me it's not all large, close knit Italian families, video arcades, a pizza parlors???

[Liberty City]

I did notice both Brook Lynn & Olivia were dipping into slight accents but, I feel like I do that, too, if I'm watching an Australian or British series.

When Brook Lynn answers the door, Lois goes "muther," when I feel like before she would have gone "Mutha". And swapping "your" to "ya" is clearly a choice, haha.

[AbcNbc247]

Not anymore

The pizzerias are still there but most of the Italians are long gone. Nowadays, Bensonhurst is made up mostly of Asians and Latinos

Oh yeah.  I felt it was pretty natural for them to start speaking like Lois, but not doing it in other aspects of their life.

I don't watch GH til Hulu, but Lois made it seem like she was still physically living at her parents house to this day.  Which cool, I guess.   I just would have expected Lois to move on and remarry and have more kids years ago.
