—References to "General Hospital"
Welcome to the General Hospital Observation Lounge!
Welcome!
Many months ago, I was asked to annotate (and comment on, mwahahahaha) the many General Hospital references in the television show, House.
I do have some street cred, given that I started watching soaps when I was but a wee tyke. My grandmother and I used to curl up in front of "Edge of Night" (remember that one?) and I moved on to "Days of Our Lives".
Soon, though, with the advent of college and "group think", I found myself tuning in to General Hospital. I avidly watched Luke and Laura fend off the evil Cassedines, get married, hit the cover of Time Magazine, and run off on adventures with Anna Devane and Robert (sigh) Scorpio of the WSB.
Real Life reared its ugly head and I had to take a break. I returned to find a wounded Jason Morgan (Steve Burton) in a boxcar with his friend Elizabeth Webber (Rebecca Herbst) attempting to nurse him back to health.
Yes, I missed "Casey the Alien" and many, many Nurse's Balls (thank God) but I was back in time for the fateful November 30, 1999 Sonny/Carly hookup.
I don't think I've missed an episode since.
And to make up for my lapses, I managed to track down many tapes of Sonny/Jax/Brenda and other highlights of my missing years....including the very powerful Sonny/Jason/Robin/Stone storyline.
So, welcome to the blog and here we go on a little tour of House, Season One, General Hospital references and scenes.
Just to get this started off on the right foot...House introduced himself into my living room via the UnAired version of the Premier that was sent around in the magazine, Entertainment Weekly. Interestingly enough, in that one we get a totally bogus shot of GH at first and then in the tag, we get real footage of Dr. Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson) as she channels Cuddy, "We're doctors. When we make mistakes, people die."
In the ~aired~ version, however, we get authentic footage of Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jason (Steve Burton) at the Nurse's Station initially and then the tag shot is bogus.
I'm wondering why.
Ciao for now!
