Thread: General Hospital

Started 6 months ago by east/west
I know this is the show that gets us all started, but since this is the most popular show on the web I figure we get a thread started back on this show. Discuss.

And I have a secret for yall. Now lean in friends I have been watching the show again for almost nearly a yr. and a half of tunning out. The show has improve a little bit after the clustermuck that was Jan. sweeps. If you take the mob stuff out (for me it depends) it is a show that has potential to please the fans of old. The hospital drama has been there w/the death of the mayor's mitress and ...

"Ellen" is on its summer hiatus, so I'm using the time to get caught up again. I did a snap judgments post with DAYS recently, so I'll do the same now with GH: - Drew Garrett is quite a find as the new Michael, but somehow I still don't want to see him in this role. I wish Dylan Cash were still growing up with the character. And I wish the show weren't writing him as another violent, brain-...

I tuned back in and Rebecca and Nicholas were talking so I fast forwarded that. Michael was mouthing off to Carly so I fast forwarded that. Olivia was looking for Johnny. I was mildly interested. Johnny and Jason were loading guns, and I had had enough. 742, Johnny telling Claudia that it's wrong to try to murder Jason is an example of how they have Johnny as the "voice of reason." I don't know...

Crystal, I think you're grading on a generous curve when you call Johnny any kind of voice of reason or moral compass. Jason and Sonny have moral codes of their own, but when the it comes right down to it, there they are with guns in their hands, blowing people away. No, I don't know what the mission was and I don't care. He's no imperfect prince. He's a glorified goon like all the rest. As for ...

That's the main problem with GH. They write their mob characters as morally conflicted about their work, but then they get over their ethical concerns and gleefully get back to what they do best: guns and murder. Really, the show is only paying lip service to moral consequence and is only interested in telling sensationalized crime stories. Whenever someone gets out of the mob, it's a plot device...

It hasn't even hit the half hour mark yet and I can understand why ppl are the way they are about the soap. Morgan unfortunatly rounds out all of Sonny children that has used "My do you know who my father is?" card. But the plus side is that I think Johnny and "the ho" are hot and Martha Byrne can rock pearls like no other. And one note if someone can help me w/Why does Robin & Patrick's baby ...

How does ABC not get fined for airing this much sex and violence at 3:00 in the afternoon? I remember rushing home from school to catch this show back in the 90's when it was about the Spencers, Cassadines, Quartermaines and Jones'. I hope kids aren't doing that now.

Well some other things I want to say. Did anyone find the Nikolas & Emily/Rebecca sex wierd. From the bad music, to the funky camera work, and the most important how the two actos have no chemistry anymore and the whole thing feels forced. I like how since I have been gone from the show and how I just recently tuned back in, the words "Eliminate" & "The line of fire" is still in this teams ...

The sex today between Nikolas and Rebecca was also creepy. What the hell is with Bob Guza and the directing staff? These sex scenes look more like mortal combat than romance. I rolled my eyes throughout Morgan being taken hostage. The show made him cool under pressure and funny and undermining his kidnapper, but I think the comic writing was just meant to fool the audience into thinking that ...

It is pretty much of the same 742. I think that i what the character is called to do, but I can see how it can be interpret to be bad acting. I am taking this sting in stride, w/what I see on the Youtube. I do think that Marsha Thomason has been fantastic. Now that is how you play sexy and mysterious.

I've been missing soaps for the last six weeks, so I decided to check YouTube for James Franco scenes. I watched his 11-23 performance. He clashes with Maxie at his exhibit. And then various major characters take turns strolling through the scene to act with James Franco. It looked like an autograph signing, LOL. Anyway, I thought James Franco was awful. I'm kinda jazzed that Franco was awful. It's not that I think James Franco...

according to sarah brown's interview with fairman, she was fired on gh. it is firing because they had approached sjb and said they were ending the character. that was when she contacted bb, who was interested in her, about a job. that is the final nail in me ever returning to this show again. but looks like b&b is giving her already what gh couldnt.

As I watch GH right now, I can't fathom how awful Maurice Benard has become. A better actor would have killed this. His anger comes across as laughable to me. I enjoy the old school aspect of the story telling, but another gun stand off? Give me a break. This could make a possible writing nomination for GH.

I think it's easy to judge her because the problems with Gh are the same problems she's created on the other shows. She kills off female characters in vicious ways. She makes the show all about the men and the women are weak and pathetic. Frons may have a hand in this, but I think Phelps is primarily responsible for the mess that is GH.

Phelps isn't that bad? just ask "Anothe World" fans about her and you'll get an earful. Ditto for people who watched "OLTL" during her tenure. She's bad, all around. Maybe not as bad as Frons or Guza but she's certianly not very good.

Can I Just Say I Am LOVING this show right now! I really loved Drew Garrett and Laura Wright. I am loving how they're planning on introducing James Franco's character.

This carnival storyline isn't grabbing me like their other disaster/emmy stunt stories have. There is no draw to it if you have been watching all year and not just tuning in for this. The 3 minutes of Jason walking around the carnvival in a daze and the terrible acting by the extras was laughable as best. This message has been edited.
