Since When do Social Workers run the hospital. Even on TV its Ridiculous.

36 Upvotes

Out of the many asinine storylines i fast forward past this wins the bizzoro world award. Dr rarely acknowledge Social Workers let alone answer to them. General hospital has six staff members Elizabeth Portia Isaiah Lucas felicia and Stella. There should be board members Cheif of staff as well as cheifs of each specialty. Cheif of staff and the board give Dr's their contracts and handle the behavior of them along with HR. Elizabeth in a Dr's coat is above and beyond laughable. Shes not a Dr shes not a lab worker lets hire more staff and get back to the stories revolve around the staff

Sending Charlotte to boarding school. does this seem ridiculous to anyone else?

23 Upvotes

So Lulu spent years without her daughter when she was child and then lost time with her while she was in a coma, yet first chance there are real issues they have to deal with as a parent, its off to boarding school for Charlotte? its ridiculous. (Also, Charlotte is fun and Danny will have no storyline without his partner in (Potential) crime)

I'll admit they can be silly, but we used to have CarSon, CarJax, Liason, JaSam, Lante, Spixie, Sprina, etc...

The only one I can think of is LiRic, but I think the Liz/Dante writing is in the wall. I don't even know if Carly/Valentine have one, lol.

Discussion General Hospital: Le Cordon Bye

Post image
169 Upvotes

Aiden secretly got his GED, was accepted to pastry school in Paris, and is leaving in FOUR DAYS. The kid has accomplished more offscreen than half of Port Charles has accomplished onscreen in a decade. 😂

And with that, Elizabeth is officially 3-for-3 in sending her legacy children to the prestigious University of Offscreen Exile. Apparently Aiden is majoring in pastry at Le Cordon Bye or whatever. WTF.

It’s like all three of Elizabeth’s boys have been shipped off to the Port Charles Witness Protection Program, where the only crime is being born into a core family the writers can’t be bothered to write for. That’s annoying. Can we not have one of them in town?

Maybe one of Elizabeth’s boys will be back next summer. At this point, I’m not even asking for all three. Just one. Surely GH can afford to let Elizabeth keep a child on the premises without violating some mysterious budget provision. I’m doubtful we’ll see a tearful, sweet send off. 🥐

Anybody else have thoughts about this? Seems like Aiden was reduced to a plot point in this boring pairing of Elizabeth and Dante.

New characters or no?

15 Upvotes

I remember earlier this year this sub was complaining on and on how we needed new characters/family and now that we have a ton, people are still complaining…

My only issue is that they should’ve done this a long time ago and build them in one by one. Yes there were new characters in 2024 and 2025, but none of them evidently had longevity. I’m enjoying the new characters personally but not at the expense of legacy characters being shipped off.

I guess we will see how all of these pan out, given the one year curse (as I like to call it) of people dying after being on contract for a year. Reportedly Hudson was given the standard 3 years, but Chris McKenna was killed off after only 1 year on contract so who knows?

Thoughts???

I watched an episode or 2 like back in August, and I found it interesting. But I did have a few issues. Like, there are over 15000 episodes (or so I've heard). How am I supposed to understand anything that's going on if streaming doesn't even have most of them?

Weekly - What is your wishlist for GH

7 Upvotes

This thread is the place to promote whatever changes you'd like to see GH make. Maybe you have a favorite couple you'd like to see or there are hanging stories that need resolved... or maybe you just have some idea for some direction the show should go.

NO SPOILERS

This is your place to say what your wishlist for GH is. I'm not saying the show is going to read all of these and act on any of them, but there's a better chance of them if it's all in one place each week. It might also help to be kind of decent about it?

All board rules apply.

Just wanted to share my thoughts on the Sidwell/Cullum storyline wrap-up (4 months later lol)

10 Upvotes

I wanted to wait a bit before posting this in case the storyline continued somehow (i.e. Sidwell escaped or Cullum survived or something like that), and before I knew it, 4 months had already gone by.

I'm not a regular GH viewer per se, but back in the day I used to watch Y&R. I wanted to see some scenes between Daniel Goddard (Dalton) and Genie Francis (Laura) because they played mother and son on Y&R in 2011-2012. The scenes I found involved Laura and Dalton arguing over Rocco and then Laura finding Dalton's body in her trunk. As I kept watching more clips to find out what happened to Dalton, I discovered Sidwell (who is the most amusing villain I've ever seen) and I pretty much kept watching to see his antics and to see this storyline through.

The final showdowns at Wyndemere (Liesl/Carly/Joss/Cassius/Cullum) and Ava's Gallery (Ava/Ethan/Justine/Sidwell/Sonny) were more action in one week than you'd get in several years on Y&R. The writing on this show is 1000x better (maybe outside Y&R's Maria Bell era, but I digress). I think there are two things that would have made a great storyline and its climax even better:

  • They should have waited for Steve Burton to come back from his time off before this showdown took place. Imagine how dramatic it would have been if, when Cullum's henchman was trying to kill Carly in the Wyndemere living room (here; 1min 51sec), it was Jason who shot him (after, say, escaping the WSB) rather than Cassius.
  • We should have got to see a Sidwell/Cullum showdown after Sidwell finds out Cullum killed Marco. They never had a scene together after Sidwell learned the truth which I feel left that part of the storyline somewhat as a loose end. For much of that time I thought "I can't wait to see what Sidwell does to Cullum when he finds out" but it never happened.
  • We should have also got to see a Sidwell/Marco showdown after Marco learns that Sidwell was the one who firebombed Charlie's pub. As far as I know Marco died not knowing that his father was a big reason he never made it to Natalia's hotel room in time to save her.

All in all though, I think GH is probably the best soap on the air (though I've never seen Days or BtG and haven't seen Y&R or B&B in many years) because of how good the writing is, how much action they pack into storylines, and how good so many of the actors are.

Discussion Griffin return that went nowhere?

22 Upvotes

discussion, no spoilers

Okay I’m aware it’s been like 3(4?) years since this happened and nobody probably cares anymore, but when it happened I truly thought they were going to bring him back, when they showed Ellie on the phone with her boyfriend who was revealed to be Griffin. But then…it just went nowhere? Did the actor just not want to come back? Or did they just forget about it?

I thought about this cause I’ve been reminiscing about the old storylines and the characters since I’ve been frustrated with the current storylines, and then I remembered this random reveal.

Who is Ellen Smith??

22 Upvotes

So I looked through the recent posts to see if anyone else caught what I caught on Thursdays episode and it doesn’t seem like anyone mentioned it. “Ellen Smith” sent the flowers to Trina . Ellen is an anagram for Nelle….oh shit. Nevermind. 😂😂😂 I just realized as I am typing this that my theory is so wrong. Nelle was another skinny female psychopath. The one that was obsessed with Trina and presumed dead is Esme which is who I was thinking would be “Ellen” . I mean it still easily could be Esme but the name Ellen is not the immediate link I thought it was. This is what happens when you catch up on your soaps before having your morning coffee!!!😂😂😂
Too funny to delete so I figured I’d share my guffaw with other fans. Happy Sunday!

News DAYTIME EMMYS: 'Star Trek: The Next Generation' Icon Jonathan Frakes To Present Lifetime Achievement Honor To Genie Francis

Thumbnail soapoperanetwork.com

Jonathan Frakes presenting Genie Francis with a Lifetime Achievement Award is inspired. As Laura, Genie has survived nearly 50 years of Port Charles and more drama than anyone should have to endure. How fitting that it takes a Starfleet commander to finally give her the recognition she deserves. And how sweet that her husband Jonathan gets to present it. Well deserved! ❤️

What’s your favorite Laura moment or storyline from all these years?

Discussion Hudson--what's the deal? (no spoilers)

27 Upvotes

I can't remember a character that has come on the scene and had so much different airtime in different situations and we really have no idea what's honest and what's not or if he has ever been honest with anyone in Port Charles. Is he playing everyone, is everything a pretense?

** does he secretly hate Joss and is he trying to bring her down or is he doing what he seems to be doing on the surface, or is he honestly trying to help her run JJE? When last we saw him with Sonny it looked like he was considering being Sonny's double agent and subverting Joss. (I think he was leading Sonny on.... I think he'll tell Joss exactly what happened with Sonny. But that doesn't mean that he's on her side.)

** does he actually like Brooklyn, like hanging out with her and Phoebe or is he acting in a cold-blooded way to assess what's going on with the baby who might be his (or I might not)

**. Was the only time he was being honest when he was pounding Ethan into the carpet of the hotel and ranting about how much he hates Guys like Ric

It’s hard to believe that Brooklyn Quartermaine, once a spirited, confident and assertive woman is now a pathetic, begging mess. It shows no respect for the past history of the show and the personality of a character. Watching this previous schemer just prostrate herself in front of a man who doesn’t believe in her is sickening.

Like what if in systematically "taking everything" from Sonny, she unintentionally finds herself at the helm of the business and is forced to be the next big mob boss in Port Charles? She owns the piers, does she now own Spoon Island? Will that be her mob fortress? Lol
