Anyone else enjoy Grand Hotel on Monday after The Bachelorette?
I loved the Premier. Very soapy. So many mysteries, secrets, scandals, & potential dramas. They just kept coming, one after the other.
I liked the assortment of characters & that the drama included everyone across the board: old; young; male; female; rich; poor; and everyone else. I don't like it when the focus is all on the young, or all on the old, etc. This is equal opportunity trouble.
The focus family is great. Not good people & not bad people, but multifaceted but likable people with issues, BIG issues.
I'm looking forward to the secrets being exposed & the drama getting there.

I love the actors and the characters. It sucked me right in! Just what I need from summer entertainment.

I recorded all of the episodes and just began watching them this weekend--two left to go. I'm enjoying it so much. The writing is sharp and smart, the plots and subplots just keep coming. Something new is revealed every week, perhaps that we didn't see coming. To me, it's equal to Desperate Housewives in its quality.
It is amazing how many people are in the cast, 112 listed online, mostly extras, but, nevertheless, the show has to be very expensive to produce. I'm curious whether they built sets for the show or are actually using the interior of a hotel somewhere.

I absolutely love this show. There's never a boring episode. Loads of surprising twists & turns. A great cast & I love the Mendozas. I love the way they're always surprising us.
I'm not positive, but I believe next Monday is the Season Finale, and looks to be quite exciting.
I really hope this comes back next Summer. Best Summer show since Wayward Pines, and I LOVED Wayward Pines.

I finally caught up! Loved Katy Segal as the big boss. And was surprised to find out about Jason, I knew there must have been a reason for killing off the dad with cancer. I had thought that it might free up the mom to have a love interest.
I also like how they handled the queer themes in the show.
Love the twists!!

Well, it's official. Grand Hotel is no more.  It's been cancelled & not returning. I'm quite disappointed in this, but not surprised. I just haven't seen much about the show, even here. This usually means no one is watching. From what I read, that's the reason for the cancellation. Too bad. I just loved this show. Summer series seem to have a tough time catching on, even the really good ones. What amazes me is all the really crappy or uninteresting or same old same old hospital, cop, detective, shows that keep getting renewed, but yet a good one that was quick moving & had interesting characters & storylines gets cancelled. Oh well. On to find another show to watch that I like that will invariably be cancelled as soon as I get attached to it.  |

Poop. I loved it too! And so agree...I'm not a cop, hospital or court room drama person (although at this very moment I'm watching All Rise which I am enjoying) so agree. I mean, it was a spicy nighttime soap! At least I'll know in my head that the dad survived the shooting and Jason was added to the will and they now have a wonderful father/son relationship.

Not really surprised by the cancellation. The ratings were terrible.
I watched the show and it was fine, fluffy summer entertainment. It always made me sad to see Damien Bechir on a show like this though. The guy's been nominated for (and should have won) an Oscar for crying out loud. He deserves better.

Good question. We'll never know! I think they ended the show the way they did in case the series was renewed. I primarily never watch TV dramas because of becoming invested in a show only to have it cancelled. The only reason I "got into" this one was because of Bryan Craig (Morgan on General Hospital) and Eva Longoria. I loved it and am so sorry to see it not continue.
