Members carolineg Posted Wednesday at 09:13 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 09:13 PM (edited) I am pretty sure there was never a need to make a "nod" to Amy Vining. She was a unique character on her own. Making newAmy a "play" on the original is just lazy and useless. She's never gotten her own personality or story and is only trotted out during the time the Nurse's Ball is coming around. I actually think the actress is charming, but it is a very thankless role.

Members Taoboi Posted Wednesday at 09:20 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 09:20 PM Well tbf I did like the growing conflict that was growing between Terry and Amy over Amy's brother Chet (and that his foine self was finally being used). It could have gone somewhere and even now could be used since Terry STILL has issues with Amy. But the actor moved out of L.A. so that story stopped. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ranger1rg Posted Wednesday at 10:25 PM Members Share Posted Wednesday at 10:25 PM Jason seemed over-the-top to me with those threats, and the amped up music was layered on top. It was all so contrived. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted Thursday at 01:15 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 01:15 AM Oh right. Nurse Amy Driscoll's brother Chet was played by *actor* Chris Van Etten who is a military veteran in real life. (He had no connection to the then *writer* Chris Van Etten.) I basically remember this due to them coincidentally having the same name. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted Thursday at 02:08 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 02:08 AM Yes, you've understood & described what is wrong comparing to the past which was definitely right. What in the heck is the problem? Oh, I know it's the way Frank produces this show. Did you, any of you, see Mo's IG from Sunday. Well, it's him reminiscing about when he first began, had a crisis & quit but Riche, who is an amazing EP, between herself & Shelley Curtis, got with him, found out what was actually the hell going on & basically said, No, we do not accept your resignation, we are going to get to the bottom of this thing & you ARE going back to work at General Hospital. Now, MO has told this tale, true, but still a tale, maybe a thousand times but now he has planned out what to say & when to say it & also he has set it to music. Plus he stressed that he's been at this for now 32 years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted Thursday at 02:37 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 02:37 AM I think Amy often felt like a caricature, but Shell did have a sweetness, and viewers saw Amy grow up on the show (not technically, but Amy was a young woman when we first met her). There's no real need to have a replacement. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted Thursday at 04:05 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 04:05 AM If anyone for whatever reasons has been unable to access the Will Trent episode being called an homage to GH, PM me for a link to the episode. Absolutely love that they did this. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prefab1 Posted Thursday at 06:18 AM Members Share Posted Thursday at 06:18 AM I think that by her final years on the show, she had slipped into caricature a bit, but I was watching some 80s clips of Amy, and she seems like a well-defined comic supporting character. There are some clips of her interacting with Duke where they bounce off each other perfectly: Please register in order to view this content Back to today's episodes, I'm not a fan of either Sidwell or of Carlo Rota's "Iago in a community theatre production of Othello"-style performance. But I did really enjoy his scenes with Tracy today. Jane Elliott always brings her A-game and brings out the best in her scene partners. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted Thursday at 04:20 PM Members Share Posted Thursday at 04:20 PM I think it's because she doesn't judge the writing. She just commits to it, 110%. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
