» General Hospital: Night Shift Options

Spin-off of General Hospital set to debut in July on SOAPnet.

Night Shift

I dread this show. It's a sure fire way to screw over Scrubs fans while giving more time to GH for more mob suckitude.

I hope they don't screw over Scrubs fans, not that I can watch it live anyway, it will have to be clips for me.

I am trying to understand the format here - is it a half hour? How does most of that current GH cast have time to be on here having a whole other set of storylines? Is that what's going on? Or if they're phasing in new people like Lando Calrissian, Administrator Of This Facility, where are they on the list of cast?

I can't believe they recast Sonny and Jason's Only Black Friend again with Jamal, that's hilarious meta given this spinoff.

If I watch (if I can find the eps on or off SN, as I don't know if I'll get it when I move soon) , I will only watch for the hospital characters and Lando. This deal is getting worse all the time...

As I understand it, GH has one dark day per week, which I think is Monday, and that'll be when they shoot this new show.

I don't have alot of hope for this one, given Guza and JFP are in charge. Guza didn't make alot of hay with Sunset Beach, and JFP has killed two shows, tried to kill OLTL and is slowly killing GH. Odds don't look too good.

I liked this show the first time. When it was called Port Charles.

Lando Calrissian, Administrator Of This Facility

Bwah!

[DanaMB]

I liked this show the first time. When it was called Port Charles.

And this is why I'm not on board. PC ended and with it some great characters that we never saw again (Lucy, Kevin, Sigmund?)

I don't want that to happen to Robin and Patrick (unless both actors choose to move on to other things).

[Split Ends]

I just saw my first spoilers.

Spinelli is injured in the first episode, and eventually develops a crush on Robin

Now that's something I can appreciate. It makes sense for both characters -- she deserves it, and he would totally do it!

[I Remember When]

This deal is getting worse all the time...

I may end up hating this show, but damn! This board looks promising!

When do the poisoned fang SL's start?

[DanaMB]

I read an interview with Guza in a recent SOD that Night Shift would be completely separate from GH. He said that on Night Shift we could see Jason being treated for a gunshot wound, yet on GH he could be doing something else entirely.

I hope I misunderstood, though. Otherwise it could get confusing.

[brittania]

Everytime I read something new Guza has said, I'm surprised to find that he's amount of hackness and stupidity is even greater than I thought. Even when I think he can't possibly be any worse, the proves me wrong.

I was ready to check this out, now that I have soapnet, until I heard Jason was going to be on it. Isn't he already on GH 5 days a week? Do we really need another hour of the week with him? Why can't Robin's parents be on it? That would make me tune in to see all the Scorpios together.

[ElementaryDays]

Why do they need a spin-off of GENERAL HOSPITAL to show the goings-on of GENERAL HOSPITAL, when they already have a show which is supposed to be about the characters and their lives at GENERAL HOSPITAL? Huh? Why not just have a spin-off for the mob?

[bpeck]

Rumor has it that the first two episodes were screened for focus groups (Frons' favorite thing), and did not go over well. Why am I not surprised?

I hope some of the comments were along the lines of "we want to see hospital scenes on the actual General Hospital, not some lame spin-off, you nimrods."
