Celebrating General Hospital's Past: Where IS Everybody?
Today is BRAD MAULE'S 59th Bday!! Who doesn't miss Tony Jones?! Dang it...he should be on the show. It makes no sense that he's not..but that's #GH For you! Have him die in some stupid epidemic. Just another notch in the history of Port Chuck that was thrown away. Well, then again, Felicia, Frisco, Lucy and Bobbie are not around so why bother? Georgie is dead. Lucas is...??? Where the HELL is Lucas? He was only part of the biggest story in GH history (BJ's heart). I think it would have been great for he and Monica to have been running the hospital. That's just me though.
TODAY'S GH: First of all...see the new Brante promo? Totally looks like the two of them covered up something. There have been some things going around that they DIDN'T sleep together-- we'll see. Maybe it was just a murder or crime?? Hmmm, way more interesting if there is a romantical connection. I know there was supposed to be. You think Guza might be running scared from that given all the negative attention he's gotten lately? And yes, I know some people get upset that the spoilers aren't months in advance anymore but I'm here to tell you-- they CHANGE directions a lot. A TON more than even 3-4 years ago. Story arcs are outlined as tight at all. Many changes/edits are made due to budget issues. That's why I won't get people's hopes up (or down) by posting things I'm not sure about. Hell, even when I'm sure about them, they don't often happen.
That Siobhan character is going to drive me INSANE. Between the Tam and the "Ye Bastahd" talk I'm going to drive a nail through my head. Just sayin'
Today's show: All about every female in PC being jealous/insecure around Brenda, and every guy wants her. Yep. Okay. Robin even goes to talk to Jax about Brenda...after going to Sonny to talk about Brenda. Geesh, is that what she has time for?? Good Laws. :throwing up hands: This is just stupid. Loved Brenda saying that Robin was having a "hard time" with Stone's memory. WTF..no, she's having a HARD TIME because she was TRAPPED IN A DAMN well by a psychopath!! LOL
Dante's flashbacks: LOVE the slick hair...guess he's supposed to look younger!?
ONE thing I do like? Lucky and Luke "working" together. I wish they'd stay together instead of Luke going back to PC to have a "heart attack"....
BEST LINE TODAY: "How many times can you have sex on a desk??" says Carly.
I'm cranky, sorry. I saw "Social Network" today and really loved it. Reminded me of early days of Gedstern and myself in a way. All excited about breaking scoops or a board war. Some actor calling her up with dish. The movie takes such dry material and manages to make it really exciting.

Sunday Surgery: Rude Awakening
Such a frustrating week for me!! GH can be so good, then so uneven and just plain plodding along that it baffles the mind. I felt like Thu...

Meredith Baxter This morning it was announced that television icon Meredith Baxter will be taking over the role of Monica Quartermaine....
-
Well, ratings are out. So much for getting rid of Dan and Chris!!! How'd that work out for ya? You see my friends, it's not ONLY T...

Up and down week for me when it came to enjoyment. It seemed like things were shuffled up wrong in the editing room and it made me scratch...
I wish General hospital use their vets! I haven't watch in a two months and I don't miss it at all!
ReplyDeletewow..Jennie, two months. I wish I could break free. LOL but I'd miss you all!
ReplyDeleteI cannot take the horrible Irish accents anymore. As much as I love JJ, I can't watch anymore!!
ReplyDeleteReady for Luke and Lucky to ditch the accents and get back to PC!
ReplyDeleteVery I intrigued by the Dante/Brenda stuff. I, for one, would find it much more interesting if they haven't slept together- it would surprise me if Guza doesn't go there and it ends up being just a crime/cover-up. Having a romantic past is too predictable and too Guza!
I have no idea what the Lucky-Luke-Sioban cheeze is all about because I have FF through it all because the accents are torture. Brenda and Dante have definite chemistry but I hope they haven't slept together. Is this who he was referring to that time he was drugged? Robin still hasn't gone home to see Emma???
ReplyDeleteGH - Carly is the queen of the hypocrites! She slept with Sonny twice while she's been married to Jax and yet Jax can't even say hello to Brenda when they are both fully dressed? I thought it was a nice reunion between 2 people who genuinely care about it each other (Ingo and Vanessa's real friendship was obvious)
ReplyDeleteMaxie is still the biggest bright spot that comes flying through the show.
Lulu's hair gets a D+ for the day, as does Dante's flashback hair (ha!) But the biggest failure once again is the Irish accents and "Ireland"... enough already dammit!
OLTL - If you aren't watching the show right now it's a great time to start! The next 2 weeks are going to be really good!! I am loving Kim Zimmer returning and today the most precious Hope had dialog.. "mama!" I died lol
Just a note - Rick Springfield/Noah Drake will be on Good Morning America tomorrow (the 12th) and on The View Wed. the 13th. He's promoting his autobiography.
ReplyDeleteNo! No Brenda and Dante had sex in the past! That would be ewww! I don't want that. Covering something up is so much better. :)
ReplyDeleteLori yeah OLTL is awesome! So very soapy! :) AMC hardly soapy. GH some soapy but OLTL VERY SOAPY! :)
ReplyDeleteOLTL Rocks as did AMC I thought but they are dragging out how David died he'll be back before they figure it out lol.....Yes the crappy Irish is killing me too.I started to watch it and bam here come the irish talk if it was good accents it would be different.I too looked in again after 2 months of not watching.....I always Dvred GH now its only OLTL and AMC
ReplyDeleteSuzanne as the “Balkan?” No! I really hope that Suzanne turns out to be Brenda’s mother: Veronica Barrett! Maybe Veronica never really died, and she has re-invented herself as “Suzanne.” I would love that.
ReplyDeleteSonny’s face look like it had melted at the end of this episode. Father Time has not been his friend.
I miss the vets, too. I really wanted Leslie to have a one-nighter with Alan. That would have driven Monica insane and ignited so much story and history. But, instead, they killed off Alan, banished Leslie (what was the point of ever bringing her back from the dead?) and faded Monica into oblivion.
I would really like to see more of the hospital scenes,instead of the SONNY show!! Guza is making me not like the characters that i once loved.Guess TPTB don't care what fans want....thinking of not watching at all.
ReplyDeleteI had the day off yesterday and I watched all of OLTL and parts of BB and AMC and I have to say GH sucks. Just straight up doesn't compare and can't compete. I use to LOVE GH and I have boxes of VHS from when I taped the show everyday but wow it's bad. And this Brenda thing is just boring and too much. There is nothing else going on. As you know I keep up via Wubs but lord knows i'm not missing anything by not watching. It doesn't even feel like a tv show but mini skits. I don't know how they manage to pull in the ratings they have.

ReplyDeleteAri I have some tapes of GH too. :) Along with AMC and OLTL. :) You are going to keep your tapes right? :) You aren't going to throw them out or give them away are you? :)
ReplyDelete@sonya
ReplyDeleteI'm not doing anything with my tapes other than hopefully taking time to burn them on to dvds. I love my "vintage" GH. Great stories, awesome acting, wonderful memories.
