Members slick jones Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 ABC Daytime needs to look over at CBS/ Y&R at this point AND TAKE SOME NOTES! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members victorlord75 Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 I agree. It seems that someone at Sony/CBS has decided to try something that seems so alien to the ABC network suits: LISTEN TO THE VIEWERS! I think reading alot of the posts here would be a start for them. What most people have seem to have said here, repeatedly is: 1) Return to a sense of morality on the show. Or in other words, no evil deed should go unpunished. While that is often not true in real life, it makes for more satisfying viewing for a television show. 2) Remember, the title of the show is "General HOSPITAL", not "Mob Wars". 3) Use veteran actors not for window dressing, but as the foundation for the show. 4) What made the original "General Hospital" successful in the very beginning was a small cast that was intricately bound together by well-written story. It can be done again! (Last suggestion, my own.) Now, that wasn't so hard. Why do they not get this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SweetPea36 Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 In choosing to renew these contracts, ABC has stated pretty emphatically that they don't want GH to improve or succeed. I'm guessing it also means they haven't come up with their usual dreck that's sufficiently bad to replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hiring a recycled writer with a mixed history (at best)? That's nothing new for GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted September 17, 2016 Author Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 No no u all cant even understand what Jean and Shelly. Ratings are consistent. Changing the guard all the time is not good for a show. Look at DAYS which has had 3 to 4 different writing team in 2 yesrs ratings crashed because of it. Consistency and stability is key. The actors are very happy at GH. Jean is first head writer to give Genie a leading lady story in years. Alexis has had big story. ABC is very happy with GH. We are blessed people we have such strong head writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 SSM hasn't worked in 10 years. I wouldn't necessarily call her recycled just yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 All I was referring to was to get rid of the EP and Headwriter that were tanking the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 Too bad for the show, the characters, and the actors people want to see in story. Frank started out with so much promise, and he and Ron made an entertaining show for about 2 years. Since then it was off the rails, and now boring, out of character, and dull in every way.

Members Wendy Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 Flush this POS show. Clearly, ABC can't be bothered to step in and oust these idiots. So why should the audience give a damn? I stopped watching ages ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ranger1rg Posted September 17, 2016 Members Share Posted September 17, 2016 Genie has a leading lady story??? WHERE??? The actors at GH are happy??? And you know that HOW??? Even if they are, that's hardly the hallmark of a good show. GH is dull and boring. The cast is too big, the pacing is off, the writing is weak, production design is awful.

victoria foxton Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 The lighting is so dark i feel like i'm losing my vision watching that hot dry mess. Laura should be written as a linchpin character. There's no real committed to her relationship with Kevin. Laura just pops in and out with no real purpose. Maybe Frank's pets are happy not so sure about the vets. Jean and Shelly are consistently dry. boring, soulless and flat. With all it many.many, many turnovers i can tolerate Days more than GH.

Members JONNYSBRO Posted September 18, 2016 Author Members Share Posted September 18, 2016 Just think of the wonderful holiday episodes. Jean and Shelly wrote a beautiful thanksgiving last year. Just family warm monent and their Christmas episodes just are classics already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Soapsuds Posted September 18, 2016 Members Share Posted September 18, 2016 Jonnysbro has to be Frank Valentini. He writes the same kind of [!@#$%^&*] on Twitter. He(Frank) gushes over everything on GH on Twitter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted September 18, 2016 Members Share Posted September 18, 2016 I really wish Prospect Park would have proven a success. If they had, GH would most likely be prduced by them by now & I am sure I would be enjoying GH a lot more with PP then I am at ABC. I really loved both AMC & OLTL thru PP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
