General Hospital?

OK--I confess. I've watched GH since the 60's. I like that they are realistic about Laura's appearance. She looks older and they don't have her all made up. But they never learn on soaps, do they? They lie and then get caught and make it much worse.

It was funny when LuLu walked in the first day and Laura said, "you've grown up!" Wasn't she a five year old with dark hair when Laura left, supposedly 4 years ago.

 

I've been watching for 11 years--love Robin and Patrick.

 

Well since Genie Francis is not returning for good, she’ll just become a vegetable when the time comes. And you are right, LULU, LULU, reminds me when Ed Norton was calling for his dog on The Honeymooners, anyway she was about three years old or so. Damm, she grew up fast, and this Michael kid is still a midget. And he’s older then her!

 

No, he's not. Lulu was born before I started watching, and a quick internet search confirms that it was 1994. So, she should be 12 and is 18.

Michael was born in December of 1997, so he should be turning 9 this fall. I believe that he is supposed to be 11 or 12--didn't he have a 10th birthday last year?

So, yeah, aged...but Lulu is still older as she should be.

 

Once they hit puberty, they instantly age 6-8 years.

Next year, Michael will be played by Chad Michael Murray (once One Tree Hill gets canceled).

 

That would be nice... I hate that kid.

I started watching again a little over a year ago (unemployment makes following GH so much easier). I'm glad they brought Genie back, and although they say she's not staying, she could change her mind. Sam was supposed to leave and now she's staying, and there was word that Alexis' fate with the cancer could go either way depending on what was going on with the actresses contract negotiations. I hope she stays... I like that character.

I know it's only been a week or so, but I'm tired of Laura looking perplexed all the time.

 

And another thing...

I work on the equipment they use to do the opening credits. It would take about an hour to remove a former character who's been dead for months and add in a returning character. I only freelanced at ABC once and I noticed the footage on the system from when they added Patrick. That system just sits there unused and I'm sitting at home unemployed. I'm just saying...

 

When the girls went to the window, I expected him to be out there with the boom box over his head...

 

When exactly did Luke get that quicky divorce? He never left town.

Why would Jason leave the house without his phone? The phone was ringing when he left. Um, you think your girlfriend's life is in danger. Maybe it's someone calling with an update.

 

He told Edward that the divorce was final

He cloned Ric's card and put it in his own phone. Liz gave Ric his phone back after Jason cloned it.

 

What about the jones kids and Dylon, they all got aged too. Maxie was born on 91 and is now in college at 15. Georgie was born in 95 and is now married at 11. Dylon was born in 1993 and is now in college at 13. They all have been rediculously aged but it's part of the fun.

I like the new story lines, I'm getting pretty tired of Sonny and the mob, I'd rather go back to Robert, Ann, Sean Devane and the WSB. Heck, they could even bring back frisco and the real felicia instead of the fake on they use once in a while.

I'm looking forward to Tracy and Laura coming face to face about Luke.

 

I think Robin was the only GH child to age naturally. I stumbled across a site that has some clips of old GH including some early scenes with Robert, Anna, and Robin.

Kimberly McCullough was just so adorable.

 

I was glad they recapped the part with her stepfather--I had forgotten that Rick wasn't really guilty.

That Shady Brook really has security problems, doesn't it. I never saw anybody come and go from rehab like Lucky does, and Laura just walks all over town. Carly escaped from there all the time too, didn't she?
