I was waiting in a doctor's office yesterday, and they had ABC on (without the sound), and GH was on with Genie. I couldn't hear any of the dialogue, but I was really disappointed in the dreary atmosphere of the whole thing. Everyone was dressed in some variation of black clothing. The make-up was drab on everyone...no lipstick or color at all. It's been two years since I have seen an episode, but it doesn't appear that much has changed. Sam is still crying out for Jason. He was in some sort of sewer. The whole thing seemed pretty depressing.
I was a captive audience there, but if I were anywhere else, I would not be tuning in for that kind of show. GH used to be a little oasis in the afternoon. It didn't matter what was happening in real life, that show was built on love and hope and family. It was an alternative reality...especially important when reality sucked. I don't know about all of you, but I could use a little joy right now.
So, how are the ratings going for GH these days? Is this type of program working for them? I wish this show could find its way out of the misery it seems to constantly create. It would be delightful to see young love once again. I miss the simple comedy and very human interactions of beloved characters. I need an update from you guys as to whether there is a reason to tune in.
