The whole Tesoro story, if you can call it a story, was boring from start to finish. No drama. Leo and Javi raised a baby for a few months then had to give him up. Dull. Kinda sums up the show.

I loved the Ross election day episode. It was brilliant.

Cwikly and Ford have been headwriters for months now. Can something interesting please happen on this show? Please? Days is so boring. It’s not even in Peacock’s Top 10 anymore.

Boring uninspired writing on Days. So much didn’t make sense today. The Bonnie stuff. There was supposedly so many people waiting. Where were they? Chattering in the background. lol There’s no real story with Cwickly/Ford. They write scenes. The baby stuff is so anti climactic. Oh yeah, what’s his name is the father. Days is so dull.

Very strange credits at Y&R. We all know JFP is back but she refuses to take an onscreen credit. She probably doesn’t want her name associated with the crapfest Josh is turning out. Sally McDonald is now Co-Ep but her name is listed after all of the producers and not after Josh. That tells me Sally is a co-ep in name only and not really making any decisions.

I find Days so dull. There’s no real story. There’s just scenes. Nothing ties the show together. Boring.

Another favorite Monty/Falken Smith real life story is that when the writers strike of ‘81 happened, Monty met with Thom Racina to write the show and allegedly Monty told him that “the bitch (Falken Smith) won’t tell me what the Ice Princess is”. I love it! Who knows if that is true because that is suggesting that the writer had power over the story and didn’t get approval first.

Thanks @Paul Ravenfor those gems. I love hearing about Gloria Monty. I remember several cast members saying that she always wore high heels that made lots of noise when she walked (she was on the short side) and they could hear her coming a mile away and when she came out of the booth onto the studio floor with her heels clicking very fast, they knew someone was gonna get yelled at. lol

I’m of the opinion that Frank should not speak if GH wins in the future. Let Michelle Henry speak. She’s vibrant, she’s been at GH longer than Frank, she has energy. Let him and his anxiety take a back seat.

Then I say step back and let someone else on the Production team who doesn’t have anxiety accept the award with some enthusiasm. I wouldn’t call what he does confronting anxiety.

To me, Frank looked ok but he’s just strange. Always speaks like he doesn’t know where he is and never smiles. No charisma or even excitement at winning Emmys. I find him odd.

Very sweet Leo/Javi scenes today. Good chemistry between the actors.

Keep it in your pants. Geez.

I wonder if Frank will FINALLY be pissed that Alley Mills called him Frank “Valenti”. Keep her away from GH.

Any day with Leo on is a good day. Enjoyed his scenes with EJ. I don’t like Cwikly/Ford. Their stuff should be much more interesting by now. They’ve been there for months. Nothing is gelling. The show is just a bunch of scenes with nothing really tying anything together.

Cwikly and Ford really have to step it up. I find the show so boring! Maybe it will pick up with the anniversary and returning characters. I find the day to day writing very dull.

Yes, it was Sheri Anderson and her husband and co-headwriter at the time Joseph Manetta who introduced Sarah Shayne. First airdate: 1/20/87.

You are correct. Jack & Lainie Bauer’s first airdate was 1/8/88.

She was back before September. Her influence is only in the directing and acting. Period. She has zero involvement in story or sets. She’s working in the booth with the directors making the camera work the best it can be and she’s working with the actors, who have to sell the boring scripts and try to make the scenes seem interesting.

Yes, Jamey’s crap is airing into 2026. We all know it. You don’t know which episodes he writes the breakdowns for but you try to guess. It’s annoying when you the ‘we all know who wrote it’. The headwriters, Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford sign off on EVERY outline. Every single outline and script.

Um, Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford are responsible for todays episode. They are the headwriters. Ron Carlivati and Jamey Giddens were immediately hired by Michele Val Jean.

I stand by what I said. This blackout is boring! It’s no where near what GL did in 1992. These writers need to be fired, yesterday. I am a friend of a friend of Cwikly. Nice woman, bad headwriter. Cwikly get her and Ford out of there.

Erika Slezak may be listed as recurring, but don’t forget that on her website, it was stated that she signed a short term “contract”. Don’t get all involved about who is ‘contract’. Erika’s own website stated that she signed a contract, short term. My point being that recurring actors might sign a short term contract.

This isn’t your GL 1992 blackout. This blackout is boring!

With all due respect to Sally, as long as the problem, Josh, is still there, nothing will change. This is like putting a small bandaid on a gushing wound.
