[QUOTE="Daniel Avery, post: 242808, member: 27"] Every soap I've sampled (all but Days) has that same tentative, not-quite-sure feeling...but GH is doing the best job of staging the show as if the scenes were pre-Covid. There isn't intimate contact, but the distance between the actors isn't so blatant (like it is at Y&R) nor is there the static staging of B&B. I recently watched Dina's death scenes on Y&R and the entire thing was upstaged by Covid rules. The family matriarch was dying, and the family members were scattered around the living room watching her die from a distance. Nobody held her hand, no one comforted her or fellow family members. I feared Dina would slump over and fall out of the chair she was sitting in....but if she had, the Abbotts probably would have continued to stand there staring at her as if she had some contagious disease (she had Alzheimer's). In comparison, while watching GH I keep forgetting all the hoops they're having to jump through, which is nice. The stories might be in a lull simply because they're building up to Sweeps. [/QUOTE]
