🤣 "recent" when Andrews last appeared on July 19, 2023. Haha.

Is that AI?

If I had a nickel for every time I said as much to Angel and Spike fans....

There was a time when Evan Hofer would have been FORCED to improve as an actor, because, let's be honest: as fantastic as Mark Teschner is, he didn't always hit a home-run casting-wise even BEFORE Frank Valentini entered the building.  But Hofer would have had people like Wendy Riche and Shelley Curtis - not to mention, GH's once-elite directing team - working with the s.o.b., getting him to a place where, if he wasn't as good as Jonathan Jackson, he was, at the very least, watchable.

But that was then, and this is now; and now we have an EP and directing bunch who simply can't be bothered to work with their [!@#$%^&*] actors, because the only thing that's on their minds is getting everything done and everyone out of the studio before they have to pay the Teamsters overtime.

Oh Lord...not you bringing Angel and Spike into the chat. lol. More so cuz I've been watching reaction videos while sick. 

 

But seriously, I really miss those times. On the other hand, one does quickly get a hint of 'who got it' and who doesn't when they won't even allow for rehearsal time. I think if they would have allowed for that police hazing storyline under PM to happen...and also allowed for a Dex/Dante, Dex/Chase, even Dex/Jordan friendship to flourish on screen...EH might have shown some more growth on camera being around better actors who can act when written for. 

 

But woulda, shoulda, coulda.

If they are referring to Real Andrews "recently" leaving, they may be referring to the article posted on October 14 in Soap Opera News. While it states he's been gone over a year, the 'writer' (and I use this term loosely) saw that article and assumed he had just left.

We can blame #firefrank for the disappearances of characters like Taggert and Selina Wu dropping out of sight without mentionon screen. One would think the alcoholism storyline they were going for with Taggert might have been interesting, but they shifted that storyline back to "Hammy" Finn.  Ms. Wu could have been killed off back when the Olivia Jerome murder occurred, around the days of Jagg-off's return. Tying up her story, rather than just mentioning that Brad stopped working for her.

I miss both.

While it's true that GH has always been in one location, that city was not named in 1963. According to Gary Warner Port Charles, New York, was not mentioned for the first 15 years or so. Other places it names which writers called it Port Charles first in the late 70s.

Long before monster prime-time hit “ER” reinvented the medical drama, there was the seventh-floor nurses’ station at General Hospital. It was a slow-moving world where doctors like the stalwart Steve Hardy (still played by series original John Beradino) and nurse Jessie Brewer battled medical and personal crises in a nameless city. (Port Charles, the show’s locale, was not named for the show’s first “15 years or so,” Warner reveals). They also searched for true love but, alas, the genre ordained that love would not come easily, particularly for targets like Jessie.
