WELL... it's the Summer and that means traditionally, a soap should be firing on all cylinders, right? We went from a 6 cylinder to a 4 to now like a ...2. So disappointing. I'm giving you the highlights this week and a few pics. It really made little impact on storylines. Like MINIMAL. So, you can have a quick expresso and start your day early!!
THIS IS IT and maybe a bit more I don't care about:
Anna is "kidnapped" by Brennan so he can tell her about the WSB ops
Lucas is moving in with...Ava
Corinthos Coffee beat the PCPD at softball
Drew is looking in DC for houses (thank you)
Outback is causing havoc
Emma and Gio plan on breaking into THE LAB :eyeroll:
Cody and Ava kissed at the pool
Ava and Alexis shook on a deal to cut Ric out of the picture but....
Ric wants out of his deal with Ava
Um.... Jordan has found out nothing about Sidwell but she did buy a new penthouse
Deception Dames vote NOT to go to the PCPD about Sonny's money
Sonny helps a limping ADA Turner to GH. Flirty junk tries to happen
Dr O spars with Lante over seeing Rocco. She even wanted to buy him ICE Cream!!
Some weird Isaiah/Portia/Jordan stuff happening
Marty and Stella might be done in with insurance fraud
BRITT'S RIVETING LAB WORK: She orders food, argues with the desk clerk, looks at her phone, lays in bed and has cocktails by the pool.
Anna tells Jason to go find Britt
Josslyn and Vaughn "honeymoon" at THE FIVE POPPIES -Britt hasn't seen them yet.
Outback steals every scene she's in. I think we need tshirts and some coffee mug merch!
BEST SCENE: Anna and Obrect talk about their life choices. Two good actresses doing what they do best and killing it!! I've gotten in several discussions about Obrect/Rocco/Lante by the way. Liesl is actually a villain that is totally entertaining and I love her character. Is she delusional about Rocco and motherhood when it comes to Britt? Absolutely. Are they rewriting things a bit? YEP. But guess what...Kelly needed a story when she decided to come back and Rocco's birth WAS a weird, wild ride. His own embryo was kidnapped so I do think he'd be curious. Anyway, Dr O is my summer jam right now and Lulu can just go cry in a corner. Maybe she'll stop screeching for a minute. Dante can continue to harass Liesl and remind her of the past sins she visited upon him. Allowed and yes, entertaining.
AND... WITH THAT, I'm done. Yes, more little things happened but did they really matter? Editing was awful and no one knew what day or night it was. Softball games at all hours. Laura stuck in her office while a parade of people came through for her to lecture. Wonder what Ace looks like now. Wonder what Charlotte is doing. Why haven't we gotten ANY of Scout's POV on all of this? The Drew fallout is pathetic. No media anything??? "Lucy is squashing it'?? LUCY COE? What is happening? Would some form of public flogging be welcomed? Willow's turning back into some parasite wallflower with the tears again. The summer romance department went on holiday to Siberia I think because...ooofff...there's nothin'.
You know I love the show. I just think right now everyone but the actors are taking time off. It feels like we've been treading water since the wedding. Please give me a reason to tune in.
CHEERS!

Great SS! I can barely watch now unless Liesl is on. So many single characters with absolutely no love interests. Lulu is ruined and the grating voice doesn’t help either. Anna needs to buy a house again to accommodate her roommates and Outback. Sony is no longer a sex symbol - just an older, low energy little guy, and a romance with the asst. DA is not enticing. Very disappointing summer.

So much filler on the show with bad pacing and bad editing. Honestly, if the producer and writers cannot handle doing a 5 day a week show, maybe "GH" should become a weekly show with no time off or reruns -- 52 new episodes a year. The quality might improve *and* ABC/Disney would save some money.
ReplyDeleteI thought of this long ago when they were asking the other two shows I thought maybe they should take Friday night and make it soap night USA and have all my children at eight one life to live at nine and then General Hospital at 10 each week can have a cliffhanger to the next week kind of like Dallas and dynasty were in the 80s That would’ve saved those two shows and probably given all of us some sanity
DeleteI think that's a great idea. Especially nowadays, when each network has alternate platforms. (NBC owns USA and SyFy, while ABC owns Freeform.)
DeleteOr instead, maybe they can hire better head writers and get a new EP. This show has been ungood for quite a long time. The pacing, the lack of humor and romance, the really bad decisions to hire/bring back characters who aren't needed.
DeleteWho decided to make so many characters so unlikeable? Lulu, Kristina, Alexis, Drew, Willow, & Cody are unrootable now. They've dumbed down Ava, increased the mob, and made Liz a talk-to (again). Isaiah, hot new man, is wasted.
Liesl was entertaining until she decided she was Rocco's grandmother and equivalent to Laura. She's smarter than that.
A great SS after another not so great week! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI hate Lulu. I love Liesl.
Love Outback.
Personal note: been out of it for past two weeks. Lost my boy Ziggy. Truly devastating. But a miracle happened. A dog that needed help rescued me. We are working on it. Zola is a 4 yr old mini doodle who never ate kibble or had been to a vet. We have both been blessed!
Losing an animal is always so difficult. Hang in there and I'm glad you found a new animal companion.
Deletethat's a tragic yet sliver lining story-sorry for your loss
DeleteI am sorry for your loss. Zola sounds like an angel!
DeleteSad that you lost your boy but happy you saved one!!

I’m starting to feel that the only way that they can accomplish Honoring all three of the vets that we lost this year (Leslie, Denise and Chris) is for them to do a standalone episode with the actors talking to the audience, talking about their experiences with the three actors and what it meant to them and introducing clips and do an hour of a clip show with people talking about their memories. I totally believe that based on what’s being written right now that they will not do honor to these three with a storyline, the beautiful thing about a clip show and actors talking to the audience is that the three of those actors were all in a storyline together they made history so you can put them all together and say goodbye at once.
ReplyDeleteThat could be a great way to do it for sure.
Delete----I mean ----- I just ------- I KNOW the reason but HOW in the WORLD can the writers keep Drew? An insufferable character that has been ruined????
ReplyDelete-------It's lazy writing - Lulu, Brook Lynn, Chase, and Dante = just regurgiating the same words every single episode and NO ONE CARES and it has made us hate Lulu.
------it's lazy writing = Scout, Charlotte, Terry, Ace, Kevin, TJ are not acknowledged
------it's lazy writing - Austin and Cyrus gone (nothing) and Dex's family wasn't even TOLD of his death
------those writers have had since January to write a good send-off for Monica - it is embarrassing that Monica is still upstairs not feeling well......and Lesley's death should be addressed.
------It's absurd writing that in 4-6 weeks, Joss became a WSB agent.......
-----it's an insult to have Britt who DIED and we saw it and PROBABLY now FAISON who died and doesn't have a brain to come back to life.......yet Brad, Scott and Selina are not here?
----I was SO excited after the wedding that didn't happen but now I am just as frustrated with GH as ever....
Dr O, Cody, Ava, Tracy, Martin. Liz (but she needs her own story). A big miss not showing the kids this summer (Avery has been a no show for months, has Ava even spent time with her?) Love Curtis but I need to see him disrobed more often please.
ReplyDeleteAt least we have a Scorpio BBQ coming up!
