I don't even get that, LOL! One time I got Snapped, LOL!

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)

Everything about that was 🔥

I miss good background music on 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.

Anytime someone use the portmanteau "Jelly" I get PTSD flashbacks.  Isn't Jean Passanante retired?  Let's leave her glorious years writing GH out of this.😂

Yes, she is retired. And I believe Shelley Altman is, too. Both are retired.

Well, I guess they won't be our new saviors for GH then.  I know some people liked them, but I honestly can't remember a single thing they wrote that I cared about.

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.
