GH: August 2024 Discussion Thread


Recommended Posts

It's either super retro shows or something sort of soap relevant.  Peacock still tells me to keep watching Leave it to Beaver right now and I hate them.   But yesterday was Las Vegas and I was like they must know me now!  I pay full price!  Sadly....no

I use Peacock a lot.  And for super niche sports or some Bravo shows and it might be the worst streaming service to search.  The Olympic coverage is literally the hardest thing to navigate in the world.  

Nothing to do with GH unless someone wants to watch Josh Duhamel, Nikki Cox, and Vanessa Marcil in a mid 2000's AWESOME show.

Edit  Also James Caan in Las Vegas which was probably the biggest drew LOL

Honestly... Peacock & Paramount+ were my least used platforms, and now Peacock might be my most-used. The live television feature for Hallmark at night is amazing. LOL!

And it makes me wish Hulu was a bit more like it was. It used to be my number-one... and I wonder why General Hospital isn't on the Disney+/Hulu thing.

The main thing I remember about Brenda was this awkward obnoxious laugh VM kept doing at the most random times back in 2011. But I do appreciate everyone’s position. I think I just hate Sonny and MB’s acting so much, I truly can’t be happy with him ever getting a happy ending even if his pairing was popular in the 90’s.

I use Peacock everyday, obviously.  They keep adding good things but it's still hard to specifically search.  I have Paramount but I don't use it that much.  It's mostly good for MTV content and live football games.

 

The laugh was a choice.

Honestly, I am not telling you to watch the 90's or 2002 but you can't even see what Brenda is and could be from 2011 IMO.   There is some good stuff from that return, but it really doesn't represent how dynamic Brenda is.   

I'll just leave you with this (sorry I know this belongs in Classic GH)

Good to be finished with Patrick Mulcahey's boring archaic writing. He never left the Mid 80's and the 300,000 viewers lost in his first 2 months proved he wasn't connecting with fans. Sally Sussman at Y&R all over again was this awful hire. Ron, Jelly, and Chris/Dan spiked the ratings in their early months. They didn't try to force change for the sake of change overnight to that many characters. Some folks are only meant to be staff writers. 

You can tell there is a return to drama in the last three weeks with Korte stepping it up to bring back stakes cause it feels like a soap again. Give me a reason to tune back in the next day with her bringing back entertaining cliffhangers over his dialogue conversation snoozers. I expect this board will no longer praise every facet of the show since the record low "genius" is no longer stuffing the hour with snail paced filler. Every story and character will be terrible or useless again from August 7th onward. Bad acting will be Bad acting again without the magic of his scripts. Best of luck to the Korte and Van Etten. I look forward to seeing important faces again like Lucky, Lulu, and Ric and less of the irrelevant ones like Drew and Blaze.

One of the main issues I see with GH is that they allowed Sonny & Jason to be untouchable for over 20 years.  Then we get a HW, Patrick Mulcahey who wants them to have consequences cause the mob should not be smarter than law enforcement. However someone got nervous and they started to undermine his writing. So PM walked. Now we just have Yes people who will do whatever FV and NV tell them to do.

    • The timeline on Days of Our Lives is verging on absurd in the best way. Tate yelled that Johnny has been stringing him along for “months,” which is technically true—after all, they first discussed the adoption in March, and now it’s May. However, within the show's internal timeline, EJ was shot just two days ago, meaning Amy met with EJ, Paulina, Johnny, and Chanel at most four days ago. So when Tate starts swinging at people for backing out of parenthood, it really depends on which universe we’re inhabiting. That said, I appreciate how cleverly the EJ mystery is unfolding. They neatly closed the glaring loophole everyone spotted yesterday: the SIM card wouldn’t capture the shooting, because EJ pocketed it beforehand. I like the momentum in how suspects are being methodically eliminated. (Cough cough, like the little girl upstairs whose mother refuses to send her to therapy.) Meanwhile, setting aside the online component, I thought only men were being auctioned off. Now Cat was on the block too? And Chad somehow didn’t keep up with bidding on his phone? We understand the intent, but it would have been far cleaner for Cat to simply run into EJ while picking up a blouse she left behind at the mansion. On the other hand, I hope they don't pursue a drug dependency storyline for EJ. He’s only misused medication once, and even after previous shootings, he was never depicted as reliant on painkillers. His past crimes were never fueled by addiction, and tying sobriety into his character now feels misplaced. This isn't so much a criticism as a reflection on my experience watching the episode. As Marlena maintained a stoic front with her self-absorbed children—each eager to discuss only themselves—I found myself anticipating a quiet scene of her breaking down alone in her office. It wasn’t meant to be; I can’t fault the writers for not filming the scene I envisioned nine months after the fact. Yet, Marlena’s solitude stayed with me. She stands surrounded by family and friends, but as the pillar of strength they all lean on, she is left with no one to support her now that John is gone.
    • Today's episodes of GH and BTG showcase that when you have great writing,production, and performances, you achieve  great soap opera. Bravo.

      I thought it was the doctor that freed her from the closet
    • The show must have edited/rearranged scenes, or else the spoilers were wrong.  This is what was spoiled for what aired this week: Monday, April 28 – Episode #044 Naomi struggles to gain the trust of her new client. Ashley and Derek adjust to their new living arrangement. Leslie launches her latest scheme against the Duprees. Tues., April 29 and Wed. April 30 BTG preempted due to CBS live coverage of UEFA Champions League soccer. Thursday, May 1 – Episode #045 The Duprees kick off Ted and Nicole's anniversary party. Eva tries one last time to keep her mother in check. Kat inches closer to unearthing the conspiracy that threatens to shatter the family's big night. Friday, May 2 – Episode #046 Ted and Nicole's anniversary party is a night the family won't soon forget. Ashley and Derek juggle the messy realities of moving in together. Bill braces for his part in Ted's deception to come to light. ---------- The changes: Monday April 28 Naomi and her client were not in the episode. Instead, Chelsea met with Allison from her threesome. Friday May 2 Thankfully no Ashley and Derek.

    • That tidbit of Leslie giving Martin a brownie at Orphey Gene's and then telling him when he was little she gave him brownies was soooooooo good.   Fantastic show today 
    • Best episode of "BTG" since its premiere. I thought it was Andre.
