It’s a shame they killed off Madeline. She could give Helena a run for her money. #GH

[Jess ✨ @jessren]

Who do you think is the "worst" of the Westbournes? #GH

Britt: baby stealing and general chaos
Liesl: years as Faison's right-hand woman
Madeline: targets her own family
Nelle: baby swaps with a side of murder
Willow: queen of paralytics
Nina: cowboy mike, baby avery, enabling

Thank you!

@PlanetEd Sea Girt, NJ, literally less than 10 minutes away from where the #GH cast always does events.

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@ackgh73994 Where?

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

Wasn’t Mac Scorpio there too?

[General Hospi-tales @Port_Charles1]

#OnThisDay in 2001, Kimberly McCullough appeared for the first time as Robin Scorpio on fellow @ABCNetwork soap #AllMyChildren alongside former #GH costar Finola Hughes, who was pulling double duty as Anna and Alex #GeneralHospital #AMC

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@soaptopias The Return of Rick Webber. Just dreadful. Worst retcon ever. #GH

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@futgostoso Early morning music. The neighbors must love him.

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@chris_attaway Killing Sabrina was a major mistake. The character deserved a happy ending to her sad stories. She should have simply left town. #GH

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

I don’t remember why their second marriage ended. Anybody? #GH

[christopher attaway @chris_attaway]

#OnThisDay in 2013, Scott and Laura got married #GH #GeneralHospital

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@odyssey_the @GHFan10130 It’s a shame that Trina couldn’t somehow be related to Brian and Claudia. (Remember them?) Or Simone Hardy. Or the Wards. #GH

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@kinshriner I enjoyed the romantic triangle between Aunt Ruby, Dan Rooney and Jessie Brewer. The kind of B or C story #GH has forgotten how to do.

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@jessren Agreed!

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

@MeTV+ (the plus matters) runs a double-bill of @TwinPeaks on Sunday nights. On one of tonight’s episodes we meet FBI Agent Denise (played by a pre-Mulder @davidduchovny)! Here’s Denise with old colleague Dale Cooper (Kyle McLaughlin).

[The Sting @TheStingisBack]

Bobby Ewing’s infamous return to Dallas, 40 years ago today, is a masterclass in TV secrecy. They shot it without telling CBS execs, fed the press fake storylines, smuggled Patrick Duffy onto set under a blanket, then added the scene less than an hour before the show aired

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

This car accident story is a snooze because we know Jordan is responsible for it … and she knows it too. She’s lucky she didn’t kill someone. #GH

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

Josslyn is a super-secret WSB agent? Willow is a powerful member of Congress? Gio is known on Broadway? WTF is happening to #GH?

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

Sorry but Willow must go. She’s been nothing but a plot prop for years. Cult member. School teacher. Aurora executive. Sister of a psycho. Nurse. Cancer survivor. Would-be murderer. Baby snatcher. Congresswoman. And more! (Dump Drew and Nina, too. They are also ill-defined.) #GH

Congratulations to all!! 🎉 🥂

[Michele Val Jean @MicheleValJean]

So this happened. Thank you to everyone involved, from the network to the crew, for the support, belief, hard work and dedication everyone has poured into this show. Beyond grateful. #BeyondTheGates #BTG

Blunder!

[GH Fan @GHFan10130]

Still one of the worst mistakes in soap opera history

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

Killing Emily for no reason was yet another historic #GH blunder. Would have been great to learn she wasn’t dead and reunite her with Monica and Nik.

[Ed Martin @PlanetEd]

Guiding Light should never have been cancelled. Fixed maybe. Maybe as a recurring limited series. It was a cultural artifact spanning multiple generations and media. Shame on @ProcterGamble Shame on @CBS
