GH: From best show to unwatchable


Recommended Posts

  • Members

In February, GH's hostage storyline rocked the soap and turned the entire cast on its head with riveting performances, stellar directing and fabulous character development. We also got sharp new characters such as Logan, Coop, Kate, Amelia and Jerry. Things were on a roll.

Then Anna and Noah, two hugely popular and deep characters, returned for comic relief. Jerry's psycho girlfriend Irina raped Jax. Kate turned out to be sleeping with the enemy. Coop was totally wirtten into dayplayer status. How the hell did Guza manage to butcher the show he pulled out of the ground not even a year ago?

What I don't understand is why Guza refuses to write for characters that we actually want to see. Do you know how refreshing it's been to be spared Liason? And even the Lucky/Liz stuff has been sorta background. Today, not only did Alexis come out to play (NLG looked smokin) but she got to share air time with Rick Heasrt. Two minutes, though. Two minutes. Guza has powerhouses like this. That have enough chemistry to power all of LA and he lets them interact for two minutes every three months. Stupid ass clown. :angry:

He wouldn't know a good storyline if it bit him. He's to busy trying to figure out the best way to bone Jason without having to write himself in. :rolleyes:

IMO, GH has been unwatchable since the day everyone got all nervous about a thug who made origami figures in his spare time. I think his name was "The Tin Man," or something, but since that period of time, I've struggled to watch GH for more than a half-hour at a stretch.

LOL...I disagree totally but that comment about trying to bone Jason is just too funny...

Anyways I think GH is the BEST ABC soap right now and theres a good reason why its STILL #1 in the ratings (for ABC that is). After GH comes OLTL which has majorly improved in the last few months. Then comes AMC.

You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
    • Shout! TV has now added season 26. Not sure what the reasoning for that was, but maybe it was the one that was ready to go... 
    • It's AWFULLY hard to tell.  But out of the (approximately) 16 weeks so far in 2025, Bryton has only had about 12 episodes.  That's significantly less than 1 per week.  Once the actor drops down to less than 1 per week for an extended period of time (such as a 39-week cycle), I start thinking there's no contract in place for him or her.  Surely these folks aren't tying themselves down to a show for a guarantee of 1 or 2 episodes a month.   If I counted right, Bryton has had 21 episodes in the past 24 weeks.  They're either (a) about to kick into high-gear & work his ass off to meet his minimum guaranteed appearances, or else (b) he ain't got a contract that guarantees him squat.  
    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
