Danni's PSNS Fan Fic Blog

I'm going to miss her but I have to be happy for her as "Station 19" would seem to be a good primetime gig. I've watched it a few times. I watch GH on Hulu & "Station 19" comes on right after. I wonder if they will recast. I can't stand what they're putting her through with her tolerating even for one moment the cowboy Cody Bell. I mean he is practically stalking her. But, she is well-placed with lots of connections, the hospital & her mother being two biggies.

Let's see if it works for me.

Oh, sorry.

Dena & Chris Whitesell as co-hws, I guess along with Gary Tomlin as EP, not only saved “Days,” but ushered it into a real creative renaissance. And I think Dena Higley is THE WORST, but this is a fact… and what really seemed to do it were the baby switch story (feat. Nicole, Sami, EJ, Rafe, and Brady) and Crystal C. and Louise S.’s returns. (I also personally hate Carly.) They figured out how to refocus the canvas with a small cast and a very small budget. But it didn’t last and by the Nighttime Hope began, the momentum was waning and by Feb. 2011, Corday stepped in and the whole show got majorly tweaked and this creative team was dead and buried. I think the biggest problem with the Hope/Bo/Carly storyline was that it was born out of Dena being a raging Hope stan. Hope was the only one with a POV and we were told her homicidal rage was justified by decades of Bo’s wandering (with Billie). I thought it was the most intellectually dishonest, not to mention insane, story. However, the name “Nighttime Hope” still makes me and my best friend laugh lolol. But, ya, they REALLY milked Hope/Justin for all it was worth without ever going there. Justin, not Bo (or even Jenn or her other family members), was even her primary support system during Alice’s death. When Gary Tomlin & Chris Whitesell returned in 2012, I think they proved they were always the brains behind 2009. The show, for better or worse, completely scratched DRT & MMcP’s “Reboot” year and it was essentially reset to when they left, but without Dena there was such stronger focus and quality, even if I disagreed with some of their priorities (Daniel being #1). I also attribute the day-to-day quality of the TomSell era to Lorraine Broderick as breakdown writer. And going back to Adrienne, I thought they did really well with her and am devastated RC killed her (he honestly did well with her, too!).

I can't wait to see Zach in Big Sky.
