General Hospital - MESSAGE BOARDS

Quote 2caliente: It's all about balance for me. I'm fine with the mob if it took up only about a 1/4th of the show. I don't now want GH to jump on the medical show bandwagon. There's only so much of that I can take. There's already 5-6 prime time shows, so I don't want that taking up my daytime too. It gets very stale after a while. As with the mob 1/4 would be good. I'll pas son the "adventure" too. I simply want good stories be it mob related, hospital related, whatever. I do see a shift coming.

Quote emanuelle marie: Yeah, but is Sonny really supposed to be sympathetic? I mean, there's moments of sympathy, moments when he gets to ruminate on all the mistakes his made in his life and all the sacrifices he's made to achieve this level of crime lordishness, but now we also get the balance of him also being this true criminal, who deserves everything he gets and more.

Don't get me wrong, I flove Sonny, always have - but I've always felt it was a little immoral to romanticize his character as this criminal with a heart of gold, which makes people in his profession seem innocuous. I like that GH is offering up consequences for him. I also think that's why Dante is there. I do think he will eventually take down Sonny's business, and not in a sweet way. I think Sonny may only get a week's worth of jail time, but he's definitely going to get some.

I think the writer's gave a good indication with Dante's speech to Olivia. His comment about CZ being crazy and dangerous but Sonny didn't have the right to be her judge and jury and Jason, her executioner. Dante's not going to be swayed by his blood connection, it will probably just make him work twice as hard.

Now, regarding the hospital, yeah - if they could give us a dramatic curve as compelling as the Mafia stuff, I would love to see it. Nothing ridiculous (ie a cholera outbreak) but maybe Patrick starts moving against our upcoming Steven Lars Webber? Or maybe staffing cutbacks like on Gray's Anatomy?

Quite honestly, me ...I can't flippin' wait for the new Casadine/Spencer feud

Quote magirl194: After more than 20 years away, my mom decided to watch the show because I don't stop talking about it to her. The day she decided to tune in was unfortunately yesterday.
Can you imagine not watching a show for 20 years or so and then tuning in once only to see what went down yesterday? Needless to say, she won't be watching again and she told me that I need to find another show. She said if she ever comes to my house at 2:00 and I'm watching that, she is gonna whoop me. 35 years old and still being told I'm gonna be whooped by my mommy.

Quote samjam:

Totally disagree with you guys, I think GH should have other stories beside the mob, it does not have to always take center stage but the mob is what sets GH apart of other soaps. Personally I like it the way it is but I am ready to have Lucky, Liz and Nic take center stage with a great story......

Quote JaneDoe:

Michael did not kill AJ, it was the Psychiatrist guy who was treating Jason. I'm not good with details, but it had something to do with Jason's original brain damage and AJ paying this guy to keep Jason brain damaged?? Not sure, but I think they made it look like it could have been Michael, but it turned out not to be him in the end.

Quote GH Princess:

Jason actually killed AJ. They were fighting at the Q's and during the stuggle AJ fell over the balcony at the top of the stairs. Jason didn't do it on purpose, it was an accident.

Quote onlygh:

Actually what happened was this. Jason and AJ had a fight where AJ fell. He broke his back and was hospitalized where he was suffocated by Dr. Asher Thomas.

Quote GH Princess:
ahhhh!!! I didn't remeber that part. I do now thought, didn't they find a pillow thread in his lungs and it was a who-done-it for a while?

Quote onlygh:

In not one of my many posts on this board regarding this particular topic have I ever asserted that the mob should go bye-bye on GH. The mob has long been a significant part of the show and I'm OK with it staying that way, so long as there is balance with the non-mob stories; the ensemble is fully-utilized; and most of the mob action focuses on the family dysfunction arising from it.
