![]() Meanwhile, a Dark Shadows episode starts at unbelievably insane in the first scene, and then ratchets the tension up from there.įor example, we open today’s episode with the sorcerous soap vixen Angelique holding a gun on Barnabas, who’s recently been freed from her vampire curse, thanks to the intervention of a runaway mad science experiment. Those situations aren’t really a part of typical daily life, especially when they happen to the same extended family at the same time, but they’re not outrageous. The GH episode that we looked at includes a girl who’s accusing her stepmother of killing her father, and a woman who’s struggling to put her life back together after a traumatic car accident that resulted in a miscarriage. What I found was two shows that share the same network and afternoon timeslot, but feel like they were made in different decades.īy 1968, General Hospital’s storylines were starting to break away from the old-fashioned kitchen sink approach to soap opera, where the stories are supposed to be a slice of life that the audience can personally relate to. In yesterday’s post, I did a little compare and contrast exercise between Dark Shadows and a March 1968 episode of General Hospital, which was DS’ lead-in at the time. Are you bored with your tricks and your spells?” ![]() ![]() The people of Port Charles should really be crossing the street every time they see this train wreck coming instead of acting like she's even remotely normal.īut then this is the town that says Sonny is a good father after he shot HISSON in the chest.“Instead of a dream, you threaten me with a gun. And then laught too loudly and inappropriately. As my Aunt Ida used to say, "she'd belch at a baptism and fart at a funeral". Her Carly - all of them, I guess but hers in particular - is completely trash. Carly as played by Laura Wright is this stark example of psychotic trash. Every now and then there seemed to be the possibility of character growth, although it didn't come to pass. They remind me of what could be instead of what it is.Īs for Carly, Sarah Brown was the most tolerable for me. There were a few good moments here and there today, but those sort of infuriate me more. Both of them have less taste than bored baboons at the zoo - at least we don't to watch him or IT scratch their itch, at least not today. Does he think that God approves of his shooting AJ and will protect him from justice?Īnd why does he bother to pray anyway? He's got Olivia to rubber stamp every thing he does - and the only God Orange Glow seems to recognize is Coppertone Spray Tan anyway.įocusing instead on the Three Faces of the SlagBeast and the Howler Monkey she loves didn’t do it for me. Gah, Sonny has a lot of nerve to pray in that chapel. I would have liked a scene with her and notLuke at Kellys with at least Bobbie talking about Ruby, Joe and Rose In other news.I liked seeing Felicia, Mac, Scotty, and Kevin, and Lucy. Let's be real, would the town really fault her for it? They'd probably break out the shovels and dig a hole in the ground to hide the body for her at this point. Pick up the oozy and just go after Sonny. It's a soap, so I am ready for Monica to just plain lose it. ![]() Monica, Monica, Monica.she has handled personal death so many times that I felt so sad watching her just take another one on. And you know how great I am at keeping my promises, right? If you do me this solid with Carly, I won't have to kill anybody ever again. I don't want to have to shoot her in the head again, mmkay.Īfter all.this is all AJ's fault. What a special moment.ĭear God, gotta help me out. Sonny on his knees praying in the chapel.yeah.
