The show is so boring now and I have basically stopped watching, and the previews and spoilers are not telling me any different. Doesn't seem the writers are doing to much with their "playing God" to the town of Port Charles... so....let's back up the PC train and ask
What was your all time favorite storyline on General Hospital? No matter how long you have been watching... what was your favorite story?
Mine was the Ice Princess... when the Cassidines were introduced. Couldn't stand Luke and Laura (when they jumped from the yachet and took "necessities, Laura took a long length of pretty fabric to make a dress out of on the "deserted" island where they were going! Barf bag not included!) But Robert Scorpio and TIffany Hill were the best! The Ice Princess, for those of you that didn't watch back then, was an uncut diamond that the Cassidines had and it got lost and ended up in Luke's hands. But Nikos Cassidine was plotting to freeze the world so RObert and Luke had to go stop him and his "Freeze machine"...and in doing so, the secret password to stopping the freeze machine (PC was already under about 15 feet of snow!) was "ice princess" of which Luke just literraly at then last seconds of the timer.. figures out and types in and with only 1 second to spare... saves the world from being frozen by Nikos Cassidine (Helenas husband) But in the process, Nikos and Anthony Cassidine and Alexandria Quartermaine are frozen.
Sounds rather silly and loopy but I find the most entertaining storylines are those of this "magnitude"! That is why I watch.. to be entertained and what is going on now is far from entertaining.. unless they have Maxie and SPenilli moments! My second fav is the Lucy Coe time when she was married to Alan Quartermaine...talk about loopy!!
So what is your fav storyline on General Hospital?

Hi coffeebreak. I have been a devoted General Hospital fan for years. I couldn't wait to hurry home from school in time to watch my favorite soap. I would have to say my favorite storyline was the romance and wedding of Luke and Laura. Nothing can't beat the chemistry they had together! My second choice would have to be Heather Webber and her storyline in the mental hospital when she fought Taylors for her baby. Her deceptive ways were so exciting to watch! I also loved Robert Scorpio no matter which lady he was linked to. He was fascinating. There are so many others to mention, but they would take up too much space. until the next episode... Enjoy!

After IP... my fav was Heather Grant Webber and her antics about the baby. And then when her mother killed Diana and Heather got the blame and later cleared... that was a good one. Her trips out of the mental hospital disguised as a nurse...back when nurses wore hats and capes... that was ingenious. Later she married Jeff which is what started it all in the first place!!! now... Elizabeth is their daughter.. or was it Sarah?
I didn't like the Luke/Laura wedding thing at all. Iknow it was the most watched wedding in TV history and all that, but I never could stand Laura and started how she treated Scotty after he was so great to her. Then she marrys the guy that r*ped her... that was disgusting. I never have liked either of those characters. Now I don't like them even more!!!
Robert has been my all time favorite character on GH with Alan Q as second. I wish they'd bring Robert back...they did for a brief time on the spin off Night Shift and had that icon of a hero have to deal with cancer....I was not happy that they did that. NOthing against cancer victims and all, but sometimes we just want our imaginary heros to live forever with no problems. And I almost stopped watching when they killed Alan and didn't even let Jason have a chance to say good by and Alan see his son for the last time. That was terrible how they did that

I think the storylines of the 70s and 80s were so much better than they are today. I enjoyed the soap so much more then. What do you think?

Most definately I enjoyed the 70's and 80's more than these days. Now they are trying to hard to keep up with prime time to the point of just trashing the characters. And when they aren't doing that.. they are dragging the storylines out for SOOOOO LONGGGG, I for one, just get bored with it and could care less "who did it". Please just move on and start something new!!! And anymore, no one stays married.. they just divorce, marry and divorce and marry over and over. Kids have so many "parent" figures.. they don't know for sure who they' belong to!

I agree with you about GH being so boring now. Yawn worthy, that is for sure. Now, coffee, is this a rhetorical question? What is may fave story line of all time? lol Yep, you really want me to answer this right??? Right?? Well, you'd be forcing me to tell you it is the LIASON storyline of course, which as you can tell is far from over. Loving all the talk about Elizabeth and Jason lately? Not to mention the child that binds them permanently. Every time Jason says he can not be a father to Jake, you do know what that means in true soap fashiion right? And having Sxx come out and say that Elizabeth is NOT happy about remarrying Lucky and Carly saying she hates Elizabeth. Oh yeah, GH is on its way back. Finally. James Franco is interesting so far. I think he is there to bring to light the paternity of both Dominic/Dante and Jake. Yes?

I was wondering why you hadn't chimed in!!! Yeah, I know the "Liason" stories are your favs!!! I thought that was odd that suddenly, in the middle of all she is dealing with.. that Carly would out of the blue mention her dissatisfaction with Liz!! If she walks out on Jax.. she deserves the crap she will get from sonny and have to constantly worry her kids are in danger. Trashing those two will be GH's Biggest mistake in some time! Oh well!
Yeah, the paternity of all the kids... always does bring catastrophy!
What's the deal with this James Franco? Who the heck is he and why is he so "big" to being on GH?

I never liked lucy coe.The Ice Princess was great.A bit hokey but it was those stories that elevated GH to icon level.I liked all the intrigue with ROBERT SCORPIO and LUKE back then,nieither were made into jokes like now.They were some serious kick butt action heros type

I agree. I never liked Luke much but with Robert, who I liked ALOT... they were a pretty good duo. Now, Luke is just an idiot! Why can't we have Robert!!!!
