GH Says Goodbye To Edward Quartermaine And The Beloved John Ingle! – What Did You Think Of The Thanksgiving Episode?

43
It was a beautiful tribute, I seriously cried through the whole episode. It was hard to say goodbye to John Ingle and Edward Quatermaine. Ron and Frank & the writers did a wonderful job RIP John Ingle & Edward Quatermaine.
Edward Quartermaine And The Beloved John Ingle! – it was the best love end how him and beloved wife walk up the stairs.
The last scene was so perfect, but what would made it better was Alan and Em at the top of the stairs (Like Dixie welcoming Palmer to Heaven on AMC IN 2010).
I also notice the character of Edward was 94, and JI (84) was playing 10 yrs older because DL’s Edward was 2 years younger than DL. Lila and Edward were the same age.
I hope they bring back the spirit of Steve Hardy during the 50th anniversary.
I thought it was perfect. Beautiful tribute to the Q’s and everything they represented… Thanksgiving will never be the same in Port Charles. I did cry & laugh.. and i got a little angry when i realized that they killed off a Q unnecessarily (Alan). Anyway i t was a perfect tribute to Mr Ingle.
Perfect. Just perfect. A fitting farewell to the great John Ingle and Edward.
perfect show…………..GH is on top all the way. No complaints what a perfect ending to a loving greatly appreciated duo on GH…Eadward and Lila…..the most loving couple of many fans………..GH should be #1 something is way off with ratings……..way off.
Having had Stuart Damon so recently on the show, why was he not included? And why do we need to see the Sperminator?
I agree, they could have had Alan there also. Alan see’s A.J. and is apart of the festivities, he follows them up the stairs but slowly walking behind them.
Humm Sperminator?? Would that be Sonny? have not seen the show yet.
Loved the tribute to John Ingle and the Quartermaines getting together (wish there were more of them brought back like Jimmy Lee!!).
The only part I didn’t like was Heather Webber sneaking in – seemed contrived and I don’t think Heather would have taken that chance to go in there and get caught.
I also wish Luke was around for Tracy.
Well done… not perfect but very close!!! I too wish Luke could have been there. I also think there is a way to have had Alan there. Alan could haunt Tracy again to help make her be the strongest of them all. I too would like to have not seen Heather there, but I see the reason. I am curious where the pizza came from and what is in it! Not sure they should have eaten it. Couldn’t they call Kelly’s and see if Shawn would deliver. Loved having Ned back and wish he could stay for a bit. Couldn’t… Read more »
would have been funny if they said Ned flew in from Salem 🙂 Love that Wally can do double duty and wouldn’t it be great if he could come back for good? His scenes with AJ is just what the Q mansion could use!
I don’t get the Skye thing at all since I remember her from AMC mostly but oh well.
The end was beautiful!
Very well done! It’s an end to a legacy. One orginial Quartermaine left…I will miss all the fights & disagreements they had threw the years..They were a BLAST! I liked seeing Ned. I haven’t seen him in years.. I wonder if he will stick around for a while. Who will take over ELQ now? Tracy or A.J. , maybe Ned, or Michael..With all the fights they had they still loved each other very much! I liked the last scene when Edward & Lilia were going up the stairs together & lilia got up out of her wheel-chair….Great scene! And all… Read more »
Beautiful…
Okay- I only started watching GH like a week ago, but the writers did such a good job of supplying just the right amount of background info on the characters and their relationship that it wasn’t difficult for me, as a newbie, to feel emotionally connected to these characters. I thought the ending was beautiful that I cried. It is one thing to craft a episode to touch long time fans, but it is a remarkable they did it without making newer viewers like me feel left out. I might have missed some of the in jokes, but for the… Read more »
Welcome to the newbie!!! This is the greatest soap of them all!
SPOIKER ALERT: (If you’re reading this prior to watching Edward’s death play out on GH) Just watched the last two days of GH dealing with Edward’s death. Tear-stained cheeks. That about sums it up. It was beautifully written and imaginative; a great mix of vintage Edward clips. The detail that went into shooting this was spectactular; from the hands of the actor playing Edward on his deathbed, to the one playing Edward’s “back” as the family remembered to sing before eating. And then to see such close resemblances playing Edward and Lila going to the stairs and walking up into… Read more »
Wonderful episode my gosh put Robin Christopher/Skye back on contract is their anyone more stunning!
Loved the flashbacks
Love love love love GH!!! Love Heather Webber and can’t get enough of her. Great actors., writing, BEAUTIFUL!!!!
I cried like a baby at the end…Lol…so beautiful… well done GH, so well done. Im sure John is smiling up there and Im sure his family thought it was beautiful as well. Just the best , so classy…GH is #1 for reasons like that writing…
I cried, it was so beautiful, so sad, so rich. love the ending, really a tearjerker.
I like that Edward “mysteriously” delivered the pizza. It’s like he knew he needed to provide for the family one more time.
I also like that Lila returned and was able to walk upstairs. The new writers did a fantastic job at researching the Q’s Thanksgiving tradition.
Research for the writing team of a soap should be a snap – there’s tons of resource material available- but I think a lot of writers just don’t care or don’t think that we, the fans, do. Between all the Robin/Duke stuff, Edward memories and the Thanksgiving song, it’s clear that they’re doing their homework.. and in turn, we respond positively and with enthusiasm (and I’ve been singing it’s praises to all my friends who I know have watched in the past). After watching Ron’s work on OLTL, I tend to trust that he knows what he’s doing (more often… Read more »
A very fitting tribute. Loved every moment. Farewell Edward. You are missed.
Happy Thanksgiving to you & yours.
It was very touch ending, I had hankie with me, just in case I did cried to the very ending story lines are very powerful scenes… Thank you,J I. U can R I P for now
Bravo!!! Well done!!! A beautiful tribute to a wonderful man and actor. John always delivered a great performance. I was in tears. The writers delivered a touching ending while still keeping Edward true to character by working his mischief from beyond.
It’s been a long time since something moved me on GH as much as Wednesday’s show did. It was just one emotional scene after another. But the symbolism of Lila standing up out of her wheelchair, and her and Edward walking up the stairs into the light together, that was one of the most beautiful scenes I’ve ever seen. I was reaching for the tissues after it was over. How could you not? It was a fitting farewell for the Edward character, but also a proper goodbye to Lila as well, since her death on the show in 2004 never… Read more »
AWESOME!!!!
Both Tuesday and Wednesday’s episodes had me in a big wet puddle of tears…Tuesday got me with AJ not being able to say goodbye to Edward (damn you Tracy) but even more with baby Daniel grasping Edward’s finger was so sweet-and Monica breaking the news that Edward had passed away and his last word was Lila.. Now for Wednesday…I could have done without Heather’s lunacy (I loved her return but now she is starting to grate my nerves) especially on this episode. Loved seeing little Lila Rae meet her family-GH should bring Skye and her back for keeps to help… Read more »
Agree about Heather. She has become a cartoon character now; a gimmick. I wish she wasn’t in this episode at all. Too bad because Robin Mattson is so talented and I loved the earlier stint.
Loved the rest!
Yeah, agree here too. Love Robin Mattson, but she’s become unbearable. Give her a rest, show, and let us miss her.
Perfect good-bye.
All I can say is “WOW”!!!!!
It was a beautiful tribute and send off and it made me cry. The writers got it RIGHT and the actors were spot on perfect!
Robin Christopher must join full-time. She has that glamor/mystique of the old Hollywood.
I’ve never quite cared for the character but I have to admit I really warmed up to her on Wednesday.
Whose daughter did she end up being? I think she was sort of claimed by every major ABC soap family at one time or another.. 🙂
Very well done R.I.P. Mr. Ingle and the beloved Edward Quartermaine……good job to all…..writers,cast crew, etc…..
I loved it! It was a beautiful tribute to both Edward and Lila. It was respectful to John Ingle and Anna Lee. One of the best I’ve seen.
Wow. I did not get to watch until today & between Wednesday’s B&B w/Stephanie & Brooke, Larry Hagman dying & now this episode. I could just start crying & never stop. The GH episode was wonderful, wish Sam & Danny were there for the “dinner” I just about died when Ned showed up! LOVE him, so funny that he came from “Salem” Skye is as gorgeous as ever & yes, it would have been great to have Luke there too. I am SO glad to see the Quartermaines back! I just wish Edward could have known about Jake & Danny,… Read more »
LOVELY….Ending. Good job everybody.
I also thought it was a beautiful good-bye. I watched it several times thanks to DVR. Great Job GH Team.
It was spot on. Ron Carlivati and his writing team were nothing short of brilliant! I cried at various times throughout the episode. When Traci was in the family crypt talking about her father teaching her to drive, I really broke down. It brought back my own memories of my father who passed away in May, teaching me to drive. My favorite was the ending. So incredibly done with Edward singing and he and Lila walking up the stairs to heaven. Just BRILLIANT! The old GH is BACK!!!!
it was funny and touching – and the Heather/knife at Skye’s throat and the scream, the family running and the family discovering the meal ruined… again and magically lots of pizza show up (I know Edward must have ordered them ahead of time!) I kept thinking it was like “CLUE”. What fun!
It was the most delicious Quartermaine Thanksgiving ever!
and it was touching they had old footage and then, wow, the look alikes synced up with Edward singing and then Edward and Lila talking and walking upstairs again…
that was something!
