  • A Puzzler and a Nit Pick

    From Kaitlin@above.stairs@bobbie's.diner.INVALID to alt.tv.general-hospital on Tue Jul 14 18:53:56 2026
    From Newsgroup: alt.tv.general-hospital

    The puzzler: Why did references to 16 keep popping up everywhere in
    Monday's episode? Britt mentioned 16000 twice, Val said Charlotte was 16
    going on 30, Anna said Faison's safe house was 16 km from the Swiss
    border, Tracy said she had served on the hospital board for 16 years,
    Laura wanted to nominate Sonny for the 16th position on the hospital
    board, the guy in the seat next to Jason was reading page 16 of his book
    and told Jason they had been in the air for 16 hours. Those are just the
    ones I can recall--there were more, far too many in all to have been a coincidence.

    The nit pick: Recent establishing shots of the hospital have changed,
    and not for the better, IMO. The old Deco building was iconic, and it's
    been replaced with something that has no "personality" at all. I wish
    they had at least acknowledged the change by having staff and patients
    complain about construction noise, or about having to navigate around scaffolding, etc. But whatever. I'm glad that the old building is still
    in the opening montage. For now, anyway.
