I agree on both points, lol.

Ron did the same thing at GH with Heather Webber and BLT's.

Lynn Martin writes for Y&R now? Yikes! I thought her scripts during Hogan Sheffer's time at ATWT were among the worst. (Not as bad as Craig Heller's, but not among the best either.)

Woof.

What Licht told his employees is almost verbatim what Jeff Zucker said back in 2016.

If that's the case, then Brenda Dickson better watch her back, lol.

Don't get me wrong, @carolineg. I'm no fan of Nina's either, lol. I wish she would quit feeling bad about not being allowed to attend the wedding or calling the SEC on Carly and Drew, too. Maybe this is all leading to some "Stella Dallas" moment where Stella Nina stands outside the window, weeping and biting her handkerchief, as she watches Laurel Willow marry the man of her dreams. Or maybe this is leading to Willow having a total meltdown when she sees that Nina has crashed the wedding and she accidentally confesses she's been faking her cancer before holding a knife to Michael's throat at the altar. Only time will tell, lol.

On the one hand, @carolineg, I agree. But, on the other hand, it feels cliche - not to mention, misogynistic - to have a character - and a female character at that - go Lifetime Original Movie crazy just to keep her from being boring.

Yes, @Vee, I remember the discussion we had about the Georgie Phillips murder plot, lol. What can I say? The story had so many problems, but dammit if it didn't hold my interest.

I think FC's biggest problem, aside from the questionable cast choices, was that it never knew what kind of soap it wanted to be. Did it want to be gritty, for lack of a better word, like DALLAS; or did it want to be glamorous, like DYNASTY? Instead, FC tried to have it both ways, and it just didn't work.

I agree.

SOD is behaving as if Charles Shaughnessy's exit from GH was unplanned, lol.

ICAM.

It's almost as if there were TWO GH's happening during that period. Ask anyone in the industry or the press, and all they can mention is Luke and Laura and the stupid Ice Princess (and - oh, yeah - the rape, too). But, ask actual, everyday GH fans, as I have, and you know what they talk about? Rick and Monica and Alan and Lesley and Tracy and Jeff and Heather and Anne and Scotty...and, of course, Bobbie. Luke and Laura is almost like a footnote to many who actually watched the show.

I agree. I also agree with @DRW50 and @Vee that Jean LeClerc and Jeremy Hunter felt shoehorned into the show. Of course, the fact that I was a lifelong AMC fan might color my judgment, lol, but I've never been fond of ABCD's habit of cross-pollinating characters between shows. I think the only time it ever worked for me was when Gerald Anthony took his OLTL character, Marco Dane, to GH; and that's because I thought he played very well off Jane Elliot. GH could have brought him on as a new character and still have him as a foil to Tracy and it would have been just fine.

Luke and Laura's escapades might have captured the zeitgeist, but I don't think JZ ever gets enough credit for her part in saving GH from the axe. You just have to watch some clips on YT from before JZ/Gloria Monty/Douglas Marland to know that the show was going nowhere before the Scotty/Laura/Bobbie triangle took off.

Well, I certainly wish HP a speedy recovery, but it's going to be very awkward seeing two different actors (one temporary, the other permanent) playing Alexis' daughters in the same week.

I think Preston Beckman, a.k.a. "The Masked Programmer," said it best: television always regresses to the mean.

I agree. With everything.

From the start, JZ imbued Bobbie with so much heart and soul that you couldn't help but root for her, despite her function as spoiler for Scotty and Laura's romance. And her scenes of grief over B.J.'s death? In a word: phenomenal. She, along with everyone else involved in that story, set a standard in daytime that has yet to be matched. This is just so unreal. We have to appreciate the few, remaining daytime vets we still have while we can.

I can't believe this is happening. Jackie Zeman, gone? This has to be some kind of sick joke. What that lady was able to accomplish through her work on GH -- taking a scheming, self-centered student nurse and turning her into one of most beloved heroines in soaps -- is astonishing. Damn. Just...damn.

Oh my Lord.

Why can't Nina just barge her way into the wedding? Is there a restraining order against her? I'm not even sure why Willow hates Nina. Weren't Nelle and Willow taken from Nina when Nina was still in a coma? Yet, unless I'm missing something, and I probably am, Willow acts as if that was Nina's fault!

Too bad DAYS tapes five years ahead. I'd like to see how it would be written by someone other than Ron Carlivati.

They did that when they gave him airtime in the run-up to the 2016 election. Tonight was just the devil finally collecting on the debt.
