GH is slowly improving. Still alot of work to do. Getting rid of Valentini would help but that doesn't seem to be on my instapal Nathan Varni's agenda. Give Genie something to do! Get those young actors some acting lessons! Get rid of squeaky Trina. Get rid of Dex. I FF through Trina and Joss. Ugh. Steve Burton is a welcome back great addition. He's killing his scenes. And he looks great. Those blue eyes. Yum.

Leo always makes me laugh. Always good to see him. Leo has the best one liners! B

It’s Samuel Ratcliffe. Please get the spelling correct. Samuel Ratcliffe. Brilliant writer.

I respect all opinions. I just feel that Days is so boring and at its worst ever. Nothing happens. I get that it is the scab writers work. I want Ron Carlivati back. He doesn’t write boring episodes.

When is Ron Carlivati back? It can’t be soon enough! The show is so boring. Nothing ever really happens, except for Drake trying to emote. lol

Watching last Tuesday’s GH. Steve Burton is fricking HOT!!! Lordy be. No wonder he keeps getting hired and re-hired.

Brad Bell has been the headwriter of a soap for the longest time in soap history. He doesn’t give a ‘f’ what fans want. Nor should he. Brad has been headwriter for 30 years!!!! He’s not going anywhere. The Bells own the show. Brad is doing what he wants. Good for him. He doesn’t bend to fans who don’t watch the show yet they comment on every episode.

I find Days very dull. Trying to do my part by putting it on and do other things because they count the streams. I notice that Days is usually #9 on Peacock and many times not even in the Top 10. They used to be higher. Can’t wait until Ron Carlivati is back. At least the show is interesting when he’s writing Days.

Thank you for including the women 18-49 and 25-54 total viewers. Wow! Pathetic numbers overall and the decline over the last few years is astounding. To think that CBS gave a 4 year renewal to Y&R to reach 289,000 women 25-54, the supposed target audience. There are 330 million people in the USA and 289,000 of women 25-54 watch Y&R. The press release for Y&R’s renewal stated 3.5 million daily viewers but it was unclear how they derived that number. It obviously included more than live plus same day. If it included all the platforms (delayed viewing, on demand, Paramount), that is not a significant increase from the live plus same day numbers.

Dex can definitely go. Useless character and bad actor. Squeaky Trina can go. Joss can stay - but only with the recast who filled in while McCoy was out. Temp Joss was so much better.

Difference of opinion. She’s looking more like her age. The bags under her eyes onscreen are new. The lighting must be different.

She does look good for 76, but the lighting hasn't been great for her lately. She definitely looks drawn.

Welcome to Elizabeth and Patrick! Hope that Frank stays out of the writing and lets the writers write. So far so good. I didn't care for Nathan Varni when he was overseeing GH for ABC a few years back due to his inexperience. I hope Nathan is more seasoned now and will keep Frank in line and not allow him to cast people in parking lots. And let the writers write!!!! That can't be said enough.

Deidre is not looking well. Bless his heart, Drake was trying to act but it was SO obvious that they put the glycerin drops into his eyes to make it look like he was crying. Bad acting all around.

Is Colleen Zenk done? Pretty Please. She always acts like she’s acting. Never been a fan. I wish Jordan is gone for good. But I know it’s a soap.

It’s too bad that long term fans still do not yet understand that these ratings mean nothing. No decision maker or Executive looks at live plus same day ratings in 2024. I appreciate that the ratings are still posted, but come on people. Live plus same day means NOTHING to the decision makers. They look at total viewership with all the ways to watch the shows now, streaming etc, and we don’t see those numbers. Y&R being renewed for 4 years tells us that CBS/Sony has better data than these ratings posted here.

Tanner should take an acting class. He’s awful.

As if there was any question.

Not a good week for the scab writers. It’s like they were saying what do we do now because this strike keeps going on and on. Paulina goes from thyroid cancer to heart failure in a week. Tripp and Wendy make me yawn. Die already. Boring week. I miss Ron Carlivati’s Friday cliffhangers. Spellman-Drucker is in way over her head. Some people are great at their jobs, but in a lesser role. She’s better in a supporting role and not as showrunner.

Bless their heart for bringing back Mamie, but she is a terrible actress!!!! Go away Mamie and come back when you can act!

Great news! Let’s hope the show gets to series and is picked up.

Huh? Why is Kristoff being brought into this? Way off topic. To keep on topic, all accounts say that Helen Wagner was a fighter to the end. She worked right up until the end with all of her faculties and Don Hastings confirmed it. None of us will ever know what her response was to Hogan Sheffer.

Knowing how abrupt and straight forward Helen Wagner could be, I wonder what her response was to Hogan Sheffer. Helen wasn't a shrinking violet.

So I guess the insider was wrong. again. Oops.

Chris & Dan got paid for this episode. There weren’t new head writers.
