Letter from the Editor
by Amy McWilliams
Welcome to the General Hospital Review!
We're running a bit late and light this month; life has intervened for several
of us, and we haven't had time enough for this issue. We're going to be re-evalutating
the GHR before the May issue, looking for ways to stay more up-to-date
and revitalize the content.
But here in April we've got a bit of "GH in Review" for you,
another in Arda's series of articles on Luke Spencer under the "A Study in
Character" header, as well as goodies in "Say Cheese!" Enjoy!
We don't have a poll this month; you'll find the results of the last one, as
well as a new question, in the next issue (you can also see the results from the
poll page in the last issue). If you have a question you'd like to see in a poll,
send it it!
One other note: several of you wrote in to ask where the GH
Transcripts page went; it has apparently been offline and/or not updated in
recent weeks since our last issue. We have no confirmation, but rumor has it (from
a post on soapzone.com)
that ABC is shutting down transcript sites for copyright violation. We haven't
heard from them ourselves, but if we are asked to remove all or some of our material,
we will do so.
Thanks for reading!
GH in Review
by Amy McWilliams
This month's review covers episodes from the first week of October 2000. As
I said in my opening note, we're reconsidering what to do with the review; we're
perpetually behind and need to find a way to stay up to date, shedding some bulk
and highlighting our own comments over the episode summaries. You can still expect
quotes and photos, but look for a new format coming in May; we'll also be skipping
ahead to recent months.
As always, thanks go to the GH
Transcripts Page. I depend on it as well as the daily updates from the official
ABC website and r.a.t.s.a. Thanks also to everybody on the GH side
of the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.tv.soaps.abc for their discussion of the show,
and to the other editors, whose discussion always informs my own opinions and
makes the show so much more fun to watch.
GH in Review: Week of October 2
A Study in Character: Luke and Miles
by Arda Darakjian Clark
About once a year, Arda comes to us with an idea for a character study of Luke
Spencer. She's done Luke as Existentialist (vol.
1, iss. 9) and Luke as Hipster (vol.
2, iss. 12); now she brings us her take on Luke Spencer by way of Miles Davis,
one of Luke's favorite musicians. We like to think of it as "Thirteen Ways
of Looking at Luke Spencer." But then, we love him to, and hope Arda will
get around to all thirteen one of these years.
A Study in Character
Say Cheese!
This month the video clips and screen captures cover lots of different characters
and stories, while the wallpaper brings you shades of spring. Finally, some couples
from the past show up in scans.
