But you know that every time they think his contract is up they swear he's going to GH. At this moment if I had to choose between him on GH and her on OLTL then I'd go with him on GH. Their characters can live together in the darkest corner of PC where the bats are and the vampires roam.....oh wait they did that already and it got cancelled. Hmmmmm.

I warn you upfront that I am a wretched soul with many issues and I spend my days making a joke out of as many things as possible because I love being happy so......

Anyway even though some of us don't agree that the Jason Morgan-Logan and Lulu hour is not the cure for what ails GH and you might find their comments vicious, some are kind of funny. People do have the right to disagree with others and share their opinions since that's what this is all about.

The reason that I don't bother sending in my excellent ideas to the shows or producers or started a massive campaign is because I know that they won't be accepted since they don't include mucking around with the fragile psyches of fan bases. It would truly be a waste of time for me to send them to the actors until I get that list of the powerful story controlling ones. However, I think those ones use their power to maintain an abundance of screen time. :D:D:D

:lol::lol::lol: Here's my best idea tonight:

Drink or smoke whatever it is they had when they came up with that "Would you die for love?" tagline everyday while you watch GH and you'll soon come to realize that things are fine. GH doesn't need fixing. Things are fine. Drink, take a puff, drink again. :lol::lol::lol:

NP. I think it's one of the biggest problems they have with at least OLTL and GH but I'm not surprised if it also is done with AMC. I guess who gets Ryan and who gets Kendall gets used as the basis to stir the fringe elements there. I think they damaged OLTL by sucking the life out of the show with who gets to sleep with John. People are still fighting over what has to be one of the most useless characters to ever be written for a soap. And now they're basically egging on this three way fight over Jason on GH. Instead of concentrating on cohesive story telling they spend way too much energy on this random bone throwing that makes an even bigger mess.

I don't know who is worst though. Is it the delusional fans who see everything as a sign and engage in these battles with each other over who the real soulmates are or is it TPTB that knowingly and perhaps maliciously feed this frenzy?

It could be the whack crack that Whitney claimed not to use and if it is then you want to get the kind of stuff she thinks is good. :lol::lol::lol:

Most of the time the critiques are pretty dead on. But your point does make me think of an inconsistency I've found. People want more hospital and less mob, yet most threads about any particular day or week of the show are about stories GH props the most. There's barely a mention of Tracy, Luke, Skye, Robin, etc.

All GH needs to do is rehire Kristina Wagner, Sharon Wyatt, Genie Francis, Tristan Rogers, Finola Hughes, John Reilly and Billy Warlock/Sean Kanan. The show opens up with Felicia waking up and saying "oh what a horrible dream" to Mac. She goes on to explain how the town was overrun with mobsters and Cassadines. Just the characters who existed when Anna and Robert died* are on the show and we spend a week catching up with what everyone has been up to these last 15 or so years and now we're back to 2007. Sonny never existed, The Cassadines never came to town, no Liz, no deaths happened, no mob and so on. If the show wants they can reintroduce characters like Liz or Helena again. Show fixed.

* The Eckharts moved away and the Spencers came back

      GH: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By prefab1 · Posted

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      The Golden Girls 30 years later

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.

      @Maxim Great to see your mini-reviews again. There are a number of clips on Youtube of Janice's slow mental breakdown, especially as we go into January 1980. Christine Jones is just superb. She played the hell out of that role. Something which isn't referenced as much later on is how Mitch pushed Janice's doubts and mental instability for his own ends...until suddenly he didn't want to anymore (I guess he caught on with the audience and the show became wary). I don't want to post a bunch of clips, but this one has a very good confrontation between Rachel and Janice.

      Please register in order to view this content

      This has a good scene around 7 minutes in where you can see Janice struggling internally with her need to identify herself so much by the men around her, all of which helps lead to her crackup.

      It really made Oscar the Doorman seem like an imbecile.   I think the show's unusual format & subject manner is what makes EON often seem less "dated" and "old-fashioned" than other shows from that time period.  It never attempted to be especially "trendy" or "modern" -- and its film noir style is pretty timeless.

      Looking back...Primetime Ratings from the 80's

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      Dallas, Dynasty, Knots and Falcon Crest all had good runs but by 85 they had seen better days. I think they were a victim of the format. After several seasons seeing the same characters front and center viewers were bored. What was once fascinating grew predictable. JR, Alexis etc had to be front and center and after a while their schemes and shtick grew repetitive. JR remarrying Sue Ellen, Alexis constantly trying to get he better of Blake etc Unlike daytime, there wasn't the flexibility to bring in other stories and characters and maybe let the likes JR go backburner. That same mentality also invaded daytime with characters like  Sonny and Victor still peddling the same stuff after decades. I guess the same could be said for MSW eg every week Jessica encounters a crime and solves it,but I think viewers come to that format with a different mindset.
