GH: Johnny Wactor Shot & Killed During Robbery Attempt
No, that's why I thought that it was interesting. The show has been shown here, once in the 70s and once in the 90s, but it was never a hit.

Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
I have a really hard time taking Faith seriously after the original actress left the role. The third actress has just showed up. She is happy and confident. She is cooking cheese and bacon in the same house her father was killed and she was attacked by her kidnapper while blind. She left the show in a tragic way. A few months ago. This is ten times worse than the Amanda Spaulding mess on GL.

(Perhaps they are involved in real life and that's the reason they act so weird) Nobody asked for soft porn. They play newlyweds. On their first night together they were shown as siblings. I really don't care for "steamy" sex scenes on soaps btw. They bore me. Especially when a song is featured. They can be sexy and playful without the 80s Days of Our Lives making love videoclips. Brook Lynn should be the new Tracy. A cop's wife? She should be married to a politician, or a heir, having affairs and lots of drama. I would kill off Chase, or try to wake him up by having an affair with a girl-next-door type.

Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread
I just finished the show's first season (250+ episodes) and I loved it. Ed and Nelle were killed within a few days. As though someone told TPTB to get rid of the older characters. Nick Szabo vanished as well. His young daughter Reenie briefly appeared and got some scenes with Buckie. It is crazy to think that this girl would turn out to be Brooke English. I like Roger and Dee. Love their scenes. Frank's acting is shockingly bad because of the actor's drinking. Not that crazy about Jack and Mary. KM shines as Mary, but I find the story rather boring. Pat is adorable and who knew, Justin Deas is likeable as Bucky. Jill is stunning and so sophisticated. I never miss her scenes. What I found weird is that Mary vanished from the show for several weeks/months. Delia/Frank/Jillian is the show's big story. I also liked dorky Faith. The Kenneth torture porn story seems as though it came from the network in order to boost the ratings. Nancy Barrett has just appeared and she is captivating. It looks as though the show tries to forget the Kenneth story and nu-Faith seems like Jill 2.0. The family scenes are amazing. HG is the perfect matriarch. It feels like watching a classic play. And the sets are great. Normal people drama is much more fascinating than the problems of the uber rich. PS: I expected Nelle to be revealed as Buckie's mother and her marriage to Seneca to be another version of Kay and Phillip Chancellor.

Can I say that GH's hugest problem is Sonny? MB is no longer charming, sexy or charismatic and he can't be treated as the show's lead. I can't see him in a new romance and he is not soap patriarch material. Whenever a writer shows that Sonny is problematic in his writing, he is shown the door. PM and EK's GH was nothing to write home about. But we got some well written scenes. Someone seemed to care enough to try and make characters human. When was the last time Y&R, B&B and DAYS had that? Can well written scenes work with mediocre actors and random characters? That's another thing. Another weird thing I noticed watching GH promos. 80% of the characters featured are over 50/60. The show needs some new blood. And Liz Webber at the Nurses Station.

Six weeks of random scenes. Some were good, others were just boring. But no real story. It is not as though we were watching early Ryan's Hope, which felt like a play. RH had structure and interesting dynamics. I have to say though, that any writer who doesn't "get" Sonny, will be out of the door, sooner or later. And that's insane.

I feel so stupid for still not getting it. My money was on a couple from All My Children.
