The Official General Hospital Thread! Sarah Brown Returns to GH!!!

[Disneynutbsv]

How amazing was John J. York???? Oh my goodness--- I hate the writers--- but could he be any more believable---- amazing.

I know, I was blubbering too....and then with Robin at the end of the show

On the hair subject...what is with Robins half brunette half brassy hair? She really needs to cover those old highlights. The highlights are down to her ears.

 

[OhMari]

When Maxie was blasting her mom, Felicia shook her head up and down because she agreed with what Maxie was saying. It was good that Felicia got up and walked out, sort of took the sting out of Maxie's, "if you don't go I will".

They need to fix this, and soon. Someone posted a remarkable idea that georgie is actually kidnapped by someone affiliated with Felicia. He's threatening to kill georgie unless felicia goes along with it (which would explain felicias nonchalantness on the matter)

I hope this is true, so Max, Felicia could have a good storyline. It was so emotional to watch, yet fun cause it was finally something different that Sonny and his mob.

ITA. Robin is one of my favorites, but her hair has been a complete disaster for a while now.

 

[LVSWL]

All I can say is "oh Mac".
He was incredible..the one who made the whole thing REAL.

 

[Dina]

All I can say is "oh Mac".
He was incredible..the one who made the whole thing REAL.

Yeah-- if he's not nominated for supporting emmy--- I'm going to be ticked.

 

[KimAshton]

I so do not care about GH anymore. I hate Guza for killing Off Emily around Thanksgiving and Georgie at Christmas. A lot of other shows are having happy moments but GH isn't. sigh.

 

[Jenn Lynn]

First full week of scab writers is the 31st. They still have to follow Guza outlines, but the details are them.

 

[OhMari]

Do you think they are copying Days when they killed everyone off 3 years ago. That was so stupid. I don't even remember who the killer was. Day's really botched up that whole thing. Sort of like what General Hospital is doing. 4 characters in one year, but then hey, "we get someone from" "who wants to be a soapstar."

 

[guelde96]

I agree with Mac's performance. It made Georgie's death so much more real than Emily's.

I will only be upset if the killer is some one like the guy at Kelly's (unsubstantial). Although I am not sure I buy the Coop thing either.

I also Agree with Robyn's hair.

Alan, Emily, Georgie, and WHO, I can't remember.

[Jenn Lynn]

The following was being posted at the same time. The Mod. on the board broke it down so we know who said what. Focus Group Insider seems to be legit.

*"FOCUS GROUP INSIDER"

FOCUS GROUPS
How often are focus groups done? Focus groups hadn't been done for a while and they started up again right after November sweeps.
How many in a group? There are 24 in each group.
Are they fans or non fans of the show? Soap watchers in general? Non-fans.
They're going to do them for entire episodes again in 2008. Two a month.

Canyou tell me what was the response to Patrick and Robin in the focus groups? They weren't in the episode that was used for the groups.
JERRY ALEXIS
Lots of flirting going on. He is actively pursuing her. The only thing is he is carrying on mob business right under her nose. He is indeed behind Stan's murder and he is trying to manipulate Trevor into having Johnny and Sonny kill one another. He will prove he is not above using innocents to get what he wants when he orders Finch to go after Lulu in order to punish Johnny.
CHRISTMAS CUT SCENES
Lucky was considered unsympathetic in his scenes with Liz and the boys.
Lucky and Sam scene prior to going to visit the kids was giving a thumbs down.
Sam's two scenes with Alexis and her sisters were also received badly.
A Diane and Max scene was cut.
As a result, an additional CarJax family scene, a Sonny and Carly scene and two Skye, Luke and Tracy scenes were inserted.

Were there ever any Ric/Alexis/girls scenes? No just Alexis and her 3 daughters.

Any other episodes that were shown to these focus groups? Just this one. .

CUT SAM SCENES
That's right. Just like when I came on last week and informed everyone that after viewing the Christmas Eve episode 3 focus groups unanimously found certain scenes and characters unsympathetic and as a result they were cut.
Sam isn't in the January 2nd episode. Also the character of Primo is now called Mureau. They wanted to utilize SR's command of the French language along with allowing the character to utilize a French accent when talking on the phone to Trevor. in response to Cut (re: Sam is also on Wednesday Jan 2 with Lucky based on the CDN Daily Spoilers. )
CUSTODY
Do you know if they are still going ahead with the custody battle, and if not, what they are planning to do instead?
I wouldn't get any information like that.
JERRY
Eve is one of the assassins working with Jerry.
Finch is the hitman Jerry hires that kills Stan
Oh nooooooooooooooooooooooooo Jerry murders Pip's son? Why? He's the mob guy pressuring Trevor to kill Sonny and Jason.
Jerry hired Stan away from Jason and Sonny and now knows too much. No new Stan onscreen. He dies offscreen while talking to his mother on the phone.
ALEXIS
Any truth to Trevor threatening Alexis? No Trevor threats coming.
CARLY
What is the big news Carly gets next week? Carly can't get pregnant the old fashion way. She's going to need AI.
Is Jax home sick per CGS? Yes, he's home sick.
NYE
There is one at MetroCourt but no one attends. People just happen to be elsewhere. There is no other party
These scenes have not been added. Someone is having fun with you. I posted the focus group feedback and these scenes are not there. in response to this post scenes added patrick and robin together on new year's ever
Jerry and alexis with the girls plus ric coming in/sonny and kate in bed/maxie , felicia and mac thinking about georgie.
I posted the focus group feedback and edits. The NYE scene plays as scripted. Jiz stuff wasn't cut because SBu wasn't taping. Neither he, BA or DC taped because they were doing appearances out of town.
JASON LIZ
I thought AIG said they are outed mid Jan and everyone will know they are together? Focus group insider here and this is false. They're not outted.

Focus Group Insider - do you know when Jason/Liz get outed as a couple and if there is a custody battle coming up or they scrapped it? That doesn't happen in anything that's been taped. It won't be happening in January. That's as far out as I can tell you.
HUMAN BOMBER
Why is Joe the bomber angry? What's his deal? His child is being refused medical attention and sent to the county hospital.
Does the bomb go off? Turns out he doesn't have an actual bomb. He is bluffing.
How is crisis averted? Jason is able to talk him into giving himself up.
Robin is not involved and it actually takes place over 3 days.
Does this happen when Liz takes Jake in after the fire? Is that why he is there? Yes.
Patrick is involved but Robin is not.

Focus group insider here and I can tell you exactly who is in the scenes. Robin is not there. Patrick, Monica, Regina, Dr. Ford, Sam, Lucky, Jason,Edward, Liz and Jake are there just to name a few but Robin is not. I forgot Joe the bomber is there too.

LIZ LUCKY
Do LL2 interact at all anytime soon? Like during the "bomb" if they are all at the hospital? They do interact there. Lucky is concerned about Liz and Jake.
PATRICK ROBIN
Focus group poster here and this is false. They did indeed have sex. She and Liz discuss it a couple of days later. in response to From what I heard they don't sleep together. He literally just held her all night.
RIC ALEXIS KIDS
The Alexis, Skye and Ric scenes are about Alexis asking Ric to babysit while she goes out of town. The Ric and children scenes are about him coming to the lakehouse for babysitting duty.
SB
Focus group poster here and I said this.
I can also tell you why SBu wasn't shirtless in his last love scene. He was all set to be. He was on board for it until he got to work that afternoon. He looked at himself in the mirror that day and didn't think he was in good enough shape. JFP doesn't pressure any of her actors to be shirtless so he could get away with it.
His shirt staying on was a last minute decision based on nothing more than SBu's own vanity.
I'm now heading out for last minute Christmas shopping.
I won't post anything else until after the NYE episode so people can judge for themselves if I'm lying or not.
Done.

****************************************
"INSIDER" 1

KMC
I'm not. I'm a Scrubs fan so if you think I'm ****ing happy about this, you're nuts. Robin's not involved at all. Patrick is but he's not a focus. Scrubs aren't a focus at all in January. KMc isn't even going to make her minimums in January. So, no, I"m not baiting.

KMc makes her minimum in December NOT January.
JT only has a 5 episode minimum so he more than makes his minimum in Jan.
She's on a few times but she doesn't come close to making her 8 episode minimum for the month.

PATRICK ROBIN
Not about any of the Scrubs stuff since they don't have a date at all in January. in response to Okay, based on SI's scene counts, do you think the anon who posted on Dec 9th is correct? They seem to be getting quite a bit right.

Patrick doesn't change his mind at all about kids in Jan at least to what's been taped. Jan so far is very Scrubs and Robin-lite.
So why would they show scrubs if there is no kiss?? what's the point?? To fulfill JT and KMc's minimums for the month
No, they don't. SI will tell you this when he or she returns to answer questions tonight. There is no kiss at midnight or any other time between Robin and Patrick in that episode.

No, there wasn't a kiss. They're just in dayplayer doc mode all episode. I'm not even sure why they're on but they're on but not doing anything. in response to Was there a kiss that was going to be shown but focus groups made them cut it?

There isn't a kiss. The scene ends with them sitting there depressed on NYE. That's it. Someone is trying to get your hopes up. They're all devestated that they lost a patient in the OR. There is no kiss. They're moping.

Scrubs are only on twice together but JT is on three other days with the human bomb mini arc in response to I have a hard time believing that scrubs are only on twice in the month of January.

I never said she was only on 2 times in Jan. SCRUBS is on two times together in Jan. But KMc doesn't make her minimums in January, that is true.
BOMBER
No, she's (robin) not. This whole thing is Jizamucky focused. Patrick's there but he's not a focus. in response to Robin is involved in the bomb story.

No, she (Robin) is not. She is offscreen. Period. She's not on and not involved in this arc.

No it's not. That's when the human bomb story is. in response to Yes they do. (Patrick/Robin date) I It's the 3rd week of January.

CONCURRING WITH “Focus Group insider”
Considering FGI and I have the same info, I don't think he or she is lying.
*******************************
"INSIDER" 2
Yes she is stop baiting Scrubs fans. in response to No, she's not. This whole thing is Jizamucky focused. Patrick's there but he's not a focus.(Robin's involvement in the bomb story)
***************************
"INSIDER" 3

BOMBER
She is involved in the arc. Guess we will see who is right when it happens. in response to No, she is not. She is offscreen. Period. She's not on and not involved in this arc.

They (Patrick/Robin) are pretty heavily involved in the human bomb thing. IThey have their date after that.


Yes she is. (part of bomb story) They are also on together during the Nik mini-arc

PATRICK ROBIN
Just remember you also heard they do kiss so decide what you believe but don't state either as fact. (Patrick and Robin)
Yes they do. People can ask SI and even if she says no I will believe my info because she doesn't get last minute tweaks
*******************
"INSIDER" 4
PATRICK ROBIN

Yes they do. It's the 3rd week of January. in response to Not about any of the Scrubs stuff since they don't have a date at all in January.


BOMBER
The human bomb storyline is 2 days on screen and both Robin and Patrick are involved.
Anyone else? Who's in trouble, Patrick or Robin? Neither.

PATRICK ROBIN
They do. Patrick looks at his watch and realizes that it's midnight and kisses Robin.
No, they do. It's a group scene but there is a kiss

I'm out now. Someone here (focus group insider) keeps discounting my info. We'll see who's right when those scenes air in a few weeks.

[Jenn Lynn]

These and the next few posts are from Scene Insider (SI). They usually post who is in what scenes with whom week by week. These Q&A are for the week of the 24th only.

Max arranges it per Jason's request

Thanks SI. What is Carly's big news?

SI, was a Diane and Max scene cut for Christmas Eve?

As I said I can't go into detail because I can't risk outting my friend. I can tell you there was a scene in which these two characters exchanged gifts in my original information. It wasn't in my updated information. Viewers will see Monday if the scenes air.

I won't be answering any questions regarding that story at this time. Any answers or discussion of this story is not mine*

 

[Jenn Lynn]

*From SI

There was no love scene cut for Jason & Liz. Jason was supposed to be shirtless while in bed with Liz. The version that aired had Jason in his shirt. That was SB's last minute decision.

What you saw of them on the bed kissing was cut down due to content.*

 

[Jenn Lynn]

*

SI
If it's week of the 24th, how does the meeting b/w Johnny and Primo go?
How does Johnny assert his power?
What's the danger following Lulu?

Who is Primo?
Johnny flips out on the disrespectful mobsters at the meeting

SI

No
No
No

SI what are Patrick and Liz doing in that scene where Kelly and Robin talk about spermbanks?

Working

SI, do Nikolas and Emily get to talk alone at all...or is it just a family meeting with Emily in the background?

They talk alone

SI, do you only get info weeks at a time? If so, is it a sure thing that Scrubs don't have that much airtime in January as some have said?

I don't get info weeks at a time. Right now I have information up through the week of January 14th. I don't push my luck out of respect for my friend's job by posting too much too soon. I'm lucky enough for them to share with me so I won't do anything to jeopardize our friendship or their career.

Scrubs airtime is consistant to what you're seeing now.

SI,

do they explain why Felicia leaves town again?

She doesn't leave during this week.

So you mean to tell me we dont' even know who is involved? Scrubs might be involved. If they are...

I said I didn't discuss who is participating in those particular episodes. I will reiterate whoever was posting here earlier today seemed to know what they were talking about.

SI, when does the Nikolas and Emily dancing scene in the promo happen?

Not the week of December 24th

SI, do Jason and Sam argue?

He doesn't argue. She is irate.

Does he speak at all?

Yes

SI,

Do Jason and Liz discuss when Jason first started working for Sonny or anything about when or why Jason joined the mob?

Thanks

No

SI,

Does Michael do or say anything alarming?

Thanks for all your time as always.

He wants to go hang out with his father and learn about the business.

Oy. Thanks. Who does he say this to?

Carly

Why is Patrick jealous of Robin talking to Jax?

Because it appears like an intimate moment.

SI,

In the Liz. Johnny, Lulu scene, does Liz actually speak to Johnny and Lulu or is she just there? Thanks.

Liz doesn't speak to Johnny

SI, just curious but have you actually seen these paticular scenes? Thanks.

I have

Did you also see all the scenes that have been cut now as well?

I didn't see them. I haven't seen this version of the Christmas episode either.

What was in the version that you did see?

I didn't see either version of the Christmas episode

SI, I don't know if you already answered, but what is Maxie doing? I read about Georgie's gift, anything else? Thank you.

She spends time with Coop and argues with Logan

SI,

Do we see Jerry talking to Eve in person or do they speak on the phone?

Thanks!

Both I believe

SI, is Patrick only on Wed and Thurs?

Yes.

I can discuss scenes that have been cut after an episode has aired. I can't discuss it before they've aired because that would certainly put my friend at risk. If you want to ask me about Christmas Eve episode scenes next weekend, I'll gladly answer. I can only discuss changes to original scripts after the episodes have aired.

SI,

does Liz focus on the JM on Jake's stocking?

I haven't seen the episode and that's not in my information anywhere.

Well since they cut the Liason love scene and spent an entire month not on...I'd say yes.

There was no love scene cut for Jason & Liz. Jason was supposed to be shirtless while in bed with Liz. The version that aired had Jason in his shirt. That was SB's last minute decision.

What you saw of them on the bed kissing was cut down due to content.

SI, can you explain what you mean about what we saw of them on the bed kissing was cut down due to content? Do you mean the content of the scene or there was too much in the episode and they had to cut something?

There are certain things that can be slipped by censors and other times they crack down. This was one of those times they were cracking down.

SI, do you know the reason SB changed his mind about doing the shirtless scene? There was an insider in the IL saying it was because he didn't think that he was in good enough shape - is that true?

That's the reason he gave. He is known for being overly-critical of his physical appearance.

Are the any Alexis/Kristina/Molly Christmas scenes?

No. Alexis isn't on that day.*

 

[Jenn Lynn]

*There are certain things that can be slipped by censors and other times they crack down. This was one of those times they were cracking down.

What? Explain please.

If one actor is lying on top of another actor, there can be no movements that appear to be thrusting especially the person on the bottom. If that's how someone interprets it's removed. That's what happened in this case.

There are many rules like this and most of them are silly.

GH doesn't require their actors to do shirtless scenes. The men decide when they want to do them.

Are the women afforded the same option in re: to do love scenes at all.

Yes they can decide how much to bare in scenes.

there was thrusting?

Just to be clear. I didn't say there was thrusting. I said there can be no movements that appear to be thrusting. I'm not implying anything inappropriate between actors in their scenes.

Can an actor or actress refuse love scenes ?

Yes they can but that doesn't mean their requests are always granted. There are usually compromises put into place.

SI could you please tell us what the issue was that got the censors involved? This is the best item I've ever seen on this board!

Already answered. GH Editing Dept. censors themselves many times. If they think there will be an issue, they edit out the content before there is one. ABC daytime has many rules the programs must follow. Sometimes the programs can sneak things by sometimes they can't. For example, a woman can't wrap her legs around a man's waist if her top is off. If she's wearing a shirt, it's fine.

Suppose it is the female atop the male?

It doesn't make a difference.

SI do you know why they didn't show more with regard to Patrick and Robin having sex (i.e. why there was no afterglow, removal of clothing or any movement toward a bed or something?)

For whatever reason it wasn't in the breakdowns. The writers aren't going to write anything that isn't in their breakdowns. The temporary writers especially won't stray from the outlines they're given.*
