Members Liberty City Posted March 9 Author Members Share Posted March 9 The monochromatic sets of the mid-2010s, due to the horrible One Life cameras, was such a disappointing look for the show. I'd love some colour thrown in, too, but I just don't think that's the style right now (judging from HGTV). "Color" equates to "dated" right now, as unfortunate as it is. It's also why I was disappointed when Elizabeth's house was painted Chancellor Mansion blue from the original woodwork. It changed everything that felt different to feel.... the same as other sets. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Aragorn Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 The show was bad in November and early December. The show got good in the second half of December, January, and the first week of February. The rest of February was bad. In March it has gotten good again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Just watching the 8 March episode… I agree with everyone who has said that the dialogue has elevated itself to another level. Extremely character-driven and yet is still advancing the plot. The Carly/Jason scenes were well done - LW and SB still have that chemistry, and there was genuine emotion underpinning that whole sequence. I was actually pleasantly surprised with the Michael/Willow/Joss/Dex scenes - again, all about the emotion, all about the character, all about the underlying motivation, especially the ongoing resentment against Sonny. Ava/Nina in the chapel - what the hell is Ava up to??? The Dante and family scenes - all the right beats played. Alexis/Diane - good use of history between those two, and great segue into Alexis’s possible return to law. And yes that was a good decent Friday cliffhanger - Carly did that brilliantly… 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Only one detail here, nitpick, Kristina said to Sam that as soon as she heard about Dante she was so worried about her. Okay, so, Sam's her sister & the Davis women are tight. But, uh, Dante is her brother. Was she not worried about him? And, to put a dot on the i, she had a scene with her father, Sonny, who is there because Dante is his son. But, instead of a connection, we were left with a disconnect. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Kate Mansi was particularly good in her solo scene talking with her brother in his room. (She did call him that while talking to him, and I keep forgetting.) Not the same as Lexi Ainsworth doing it, but still. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Anything that shows and demonstrates an actual family relationship is a good thing in my books (it’s soaps’ bread and butter at the end of the day). And GH has been doing that in spades in the last week or so - we need more of this! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OzFrog Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 One more observation I had - does Jason know that Britt is also dead? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 (edited) I don't think so. Also Epiphany? Can't remember. Edited March 9 by Contessa Donatella typo 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted March 9 Author Members Share Posted March 9 Nope; I can only imagine his reaction to Epiphany, given his reaction to Bobbie. That'll be heartbreaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 I watched entire scenes with Dex, Joss, Michael and Willow. That’s how much I am giving this new material a chance. And I was at least interested enough to not FF. The stuff I had a hard time sitting through were the scenes with Nina, Alexis, and the columnist, and Curtis and his father. This is the most emotionally invested I have seen Steve Burton in ages as Jason. The scenes with Carly were actually moving. Makes me wish Robin was here too. This is my first time seeing the aged up Rocco and I like the actor. Smart to have Genie Francis and Laura Wright in those scenes with the teenagers. I hope Lulu is on her way home soon. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 This is the most I think I have ever seen coming from Steve Burton! He had tears in his eyes, nearly spilling out. His voice conveyed deep feeling when he said 3 things: Carly? It's really me. I'm sorry it took so long. And, I know you're gonna kill me, but is Gina Tognoni the right age to be a Lulu recast? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Ten years too old & only 11 years younger than Genie Francis she would have been a good Carly choice back in the day 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Gina is a good 10-15 years older 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 That reminds me. I wonder if that story is going somewhere now, too. I thought the 'I was misdiagosed' storyline was over and done. I was so taken aback at that. I was thinking have we seen him before? Was he in the Halloween episodes last year perhaps when Charlotte got shot? In any case, I did like him, too. And they did the right thing by playing him with the vets. Especially Genie. It could be a hint that she's coming home.

Members Sapounopera Posted March 9 Members Share Posted March 9 Lulu is the modern day Sarah Webber/Sarah Horton/Jennifer Foster, right? I'd choose Marci Miller as others have said before. She has this old-school-soap look and could be Laura's daughter. What is Bree Williamson doing these days? Her GH role is long forgotten. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
