Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 29, 2016 Members Share Posted May 29, 2016 Especially, when it is easy to figure out what blind item goes which show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 As long as Frank is there the show will not have a good ending. OLTL didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 I don't mean to sound dumb, but Claire Labine is retired now isn't she? Would it ever be too much for her to come back to GH? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 The last couple of interviews I read with her make it pretty clear she is tired of dealing with the whims of a network. Plus I don't feel like a daytime audience would support her writing at this point. Which is sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted May 30, 2016 Author Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 hmm....I don't blame her if that's the case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members soapfan770 Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 Last time I saw Claire Labine it was when she appeared on SoapTalk in about 2004 or so and it was sad to see. She started crying talking about her favorite Ryan's Hope characters she use to write for. Not sure about the showrunner, but hopefully it's Pratt since he's co-EP or he is the scribe described in the blind item. As for Jill Farren Phelps she actually turns 66 this summer which is retirement age so she may be very well on her way out at as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 A few years ago Kate Mulgrew did an interview with her about RH. And they had a thing again last year. http://www.totallykate.com/kate-mulgrew-claire-labine-insights.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 I would LOVE for Sheri Anderson to come back to Days as headwriter. That said, I've also heard she won't come back unless it's her terms (no network meddling, etc.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 YMMV, but I didn't mind the ending of OLTL that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 There were a few nice ideas, like the return to Heaven, but between the horrible last scene and Ron's sad ego wank with Fraternity Row, it felt very little like anything I ever thought OLTL stood for.

Members Vee Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 Why do you think it would? It's terrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 I am not so sure this is FV they are talking about. For starters of the exec producers currently working, would he be the one they would label a veteran? Compared to who? Next, I don't know that GH is having such dramatic ratings troubles that they would want to fire him. It does about 2.0 or 2.1 consistently, and this is the network that had to see 1.6s before they would fire Guza. The demos I am not sure about. Third, would ABC even bother at this point? If the show was at a point where they needed shake-ups wouldn't they just cancel it and put on a chat show? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 Seriously? FV has been an EP for 13 years, and he's run GH for about 5. I think it's equally likely Pratt and CBS/Sony finally pushed out Jill, but Frank is a veteran EP, period. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted May 30, 2016 Members Share Posted May 30, 2016 If ABC were determined to replace FV as EP at GH, then that would suggest they remain at least partially invested in their show -- which I have a tough time buying, for some reason. Yes, GH remains on the air, and at ABC, but only b/c they haven't lucked upon anything good to replace it. Otherwise, as far as they're probably concerned, Frank could be there to turn out the studio lights for the last time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted June 1, 2016 Members Share Posted June 1, 2016 It's all but confirmed that JFP is the fired EP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
