GH In The News: The PC Press Club

That's Lucas? He's cute!  

Adult Lucas was on during my GH hiatus so I've never seen him!

[TeeVee329]

LUCAS (WHO?)!!!

I'm sure he's here to listen to Bobbie whine about Nelle.  Maybe, if we're lucky, we'll get an update on his off-screen adoption "story".  And obviously, there will be no interaction with him and his husband.

I guess I'll take what I can get, but I feel like those scenes will make me angry because yea they'll be exactly what @TeeVee329 said.

We'll be lucky to get more than one scene with the two of them. Ugh. Send Lucas and Brad off to Boston or someplace so this farce of an existence can end.

At 49! She's brave (and lucky).

Perhaps Lucas' doctor friend in Pennsylvania could put in a good word for him at his hospital. #showinmyhead

I'm so happy for her! She miscarried a few years ago--maybe more than once?--so this has to be such a miracle for her.

STEVE BURTON, MAURICE BENARD INTERVIEW

[Mnemosyne]

Yeah, just from the freeze-frame there, I can't bring myself to watch that.

[dubbel zout]

My computer won't play it (hee; it's protecting me), but just from that picture, it cracks me up that SB and SBu are dressed as each other's characters. 

[Cheyanne11]

Hard pass.  Laura Wright put a pic of her with the two of them on her Instagram and hashtagged it "dream team," which made me throw up in my mouth.

I find all three incredibly obnoxious with Maurice being the one I can tolerate the most.

BEST STORYLINE

The Tale of two Jasons – General Hospital

No doubt!   This was the best storyline of 2017.  When Steve Burton made his return as Patient Six, and viewers waited to find out if he would turn out to be the real Jason, or if Billy Miller’s Jason would, and it was story gold. Then the swerve, Dr. Anthony Maddox was a major perpetrator in this story, and then the fallout.  How many lives this is affecting has been can’t- miss soapy drama at its best. Congrats GH writers for this one!

 

 

Perhaps someone should tell him about IMDb? I was reading it saying, "There's no Anthony," then I realized he meant Andre.

[Neptune]

[amaranta]

Anders Hove and Ian Buchanan?  Are they both going to be on the show?  I have mixed feelings on a Duke return since I've been liking Anna and Finn.  And I was always Team Robert over Duke. Well, over anyone.  I want Anna's HEA to be drinks on the beach with Robert (shades of Night Shift 2.)

[Oracle42]

Robert/Holly and Anna/Duke end up living across the lake from each other somewhere in England

LOL. Faison’s name has been thrown around enough it’s not a surprise if he shows up. 

[Asp Burger]

Here. I'll appoint myself summarizer of the Benard/Burton interview clip, for those who couldn't bring themselves to watch it or were being protected by their computers. It's not as though I have anything else to post about. GH has really hit a dry patch since the start of the New Year. I mean, a drier patch. I thought they had a pretty good rhythm going for a while there, but now everything is low-stakes, who-cares BS. It's getting hard for me to watch my daily recordings, which usually portends a long break.     

Summary: Benard says Burton's return to GH has been like your best friend from high school having to move and go to another school, but then coming back in senior year.  

Burton says it's been even better than expected. He's grateful to work with all the people he used to work with, including "this guy" (Benard).  

Burton denies that he made a condition of being the real Jason. He didn't know what the story was going to be until he got the script.  

Benard says the Sonny/Jason reunion scenes were "greatly written," and that acting with Burton is just like riding a bike.  You fall off and then you get right back on. 

So that's really the gist of it. Everything's wonderful, and Benard wins the "more annoying" prize because of his attempts at metaphor.

Well I'm pretty sure the last part of his statement is a clear lie.  His ass and Billy Miller knew well in advanced who they would be playing prior to getting any script.  But Burton lies like he walks.

From the preview it looked like Ava was dreaming/hallucinating/having a nightmare. They used the shaky handheld camera.

[TeeVee329]

It's canon!

[dubbel zout]

I’d applaud CVE’s sense of humor, but the way the show ignores Cam and Aidan isn’t funny. (Well, it is, but you feel me.)

[TeeVee329]

CVE is pretty amusing on Twitter in general, I must say.

I like Van Etten's humor, and he does seem to be producing a more coherent show than the last crew, if still not very good. But I do think as long as he's under the yoke of FV and the old Ron house style not much will change. (On a side note I remember a friend told me years ago that he was supposedly in the list of names to take over OLTL 2.0 from its revolving door of HWs in 2013, but I don't know if that's legit.)

I don't understand why her story shifted in one episode.    Why create a story for her only to have to change directions in one ep and ship her offscreen?  I'd think it'd happen more gradually.

I'm disappointed. I love GF on GH.  She's really the reason I continue to watch.

It makes no sense at all. All I can think of is that the show needs to find ways to squeeze out more airtime for Franco, Valentin/Nina, Jason, Sonny and Nelle SOMEWHERE. Ugh. 

The stark abruptness of the change in story is what confuses me.

[ulkis]

I'm surprised GF agreed to recurring.

Don't forget Drew and Sam. They pretty much have the same scene about three times a week.

[LexieLily]

I suppose it's too much to ask for that Kevin get scenes with his new stepdaughter, or any scenes without Laura.

Exactly what someone else said.

[jsbt]

This is not news and I don't make a habit of posting random people I don't know's tweets, but:

[TeeVee329]

Two Jasons and two Carlys on contract, but zero Lauras?  Oh Frank. 

And yeah, even though she's been bumped to recurring, I doubt GF is actually going to stick around.  I mean, isn't this what happened last time in 2013?  Laura exited abruptly for some contrived reason and never came back.

[jsbt]

Yeah - the story I recall at the time is Frank tried to sell her on joining the Frank & Ron Recurring Vet Corps and she told them to fuck off. She doesn't need the show, she has her Hallmark stuff and her happy marriage to Commander Riker who still works quite steadily as a TV director (among many other things he also just did an episode of the new Star Trek: Discovery). But I had a feeling Frank would eventually get even for her winning a contract from him - he is ruthless about that stuff. Still, I think the advantage is hers at the moment if she wants to try and come back. Which she may not.

Edited January 20, 2018 by jsbt

[LexieLily]

Shockingly, Twitter all seems to be coming together in solidarity for Genie in disgust at how she is dumped to recurring while so many others are on contract and/or on the show at all. 

[Oracle42]

Here's a thought, get rid of worthless ass Nina, Valentin and Franco

[TeeVee329]

Another thought - Laura Wright's boyfriend doesn't need to be on contract.
