Interesting TwiX by Dorell Anthony today. Apparently he was writing on some of the winning episodes but is not credited for some reason.

GH 4-15 Today may be Shannon Peace's last breakdown, according to what she's posted. She posted earlier about an episode being one of her last & she also posted earlier that her last one is in April. That's why this might be last. Also, might not.

What Shannon Peace said:

3rd-to-last: March 27.
2nd-to-last:  date not listed.
Final: mid-April.

Shannon's most recent ig post *wondered* (questioned) if her last script would be moved to airdate of Thursday 4/17 due to episodes airing incorrectly this week. But she was confused by what was being tweeted by confused viewers.
SOD said explained that the mix-up was only in the Canadian broadcast.
That should have nothing to do with Shannon's breakdown episode airdate in the USA.

Per SOD: 
https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/why-canada-got-a-different-general-hospital-episode/
The 4/17 episode mistakenly aired 4/16 in Canada, 
but the 4/16 episode aired correctly 4/16 in U.S.
And..
The 4/16 episode will now air 4/17 in Canada to make up..
but the 4/17 episode will air as it should 4/17 in U.S.
And..
The 4/18 episode will air in both Canada and US on 4/18, which brings it all back to normal.

 

Edit - the info came from Nathan Varni:

Well, no, actually, I didn't have the full picture.
Some people who seemed confused elsewhere online,
were actually right.
They pointed out the spoiler discrepancy.


Thanks to @titan1978 who noted it and posted it.
It seems that the episodes airing 4/16/2024 and 4/17/2024,
were switched in broadcasting in Canada on CityTV.
BUT ....
The totality of *both* episodes together -- 
equal what was spoiled for 4/16.
This can be determined from reading the Canada and US recaps for those dates.
Details on the spoiler thread here:

** Speculation only **  that episode editing happened and split one episode into two, with extra scenes inserted to fill the time or include more character interactions.
This would have created what amounts to an "insert episode".

If (and only *if* ) there was an insert episode, then that would move everything to the next airdate, and Shannon Peace's eppy might be moved as well.

But this speculation might be wrong.
It's possible that there was no "insert episode" --
maybe the episode descriptions released ahead-of-time (the daily spoilers) were wrong.

How to verify if there's a split:

  • whenever dgepress (Disney press site) releases GH episode photos for these episodes.  The episode numbers sometimes show on the photos.  Inserts usually have the letter "A" added to the episode number.
  • or if we check the daily spoiler descriptions and if they continue to be off by one day for several days,  then we know there was an insert that shifted airdates.

Tonight in Michael Fairman's Zoom on YT with multiple actors asking them what was in their reels. Alley Mills talked about the metal in her body & the poisoning they've written in her story. Said Chris Van Etten idea & they have actual real life occasions that this has happened. & then she said, "Thank goodness, he is still with us." and then went on to compliment the new writer that she knew from B&B before. 

At first I thought she meant that he is alive but then, I wondered if he is writing breakdown. 

That is all.

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
