OMG....thanks Ryan, you taught me something today because I always have problems with my grammar like that. And this is coming from a GH watcher that has been faithful pretty much since Scotty caught Laura's bouquet.

How about them ratings?

LOL....

The hypocrisy in this thread is hilarious.

Bottom line is that shawn, I and others wouldn't bash Days or any other soap if other people didn't blindly bash GH WITHOUT bashing the other soaps.

Again I ask what makes GH so special? Why exactly were you setting it apart from the other soaps that have done WORSE!

Anyways CONGRATS to GH! Well deserved!

Your comment doesn't make any sense to me. You only bash DAYS (or any other soap) because people "blindly" bash GH without bashing other soaps?

So let me try to understand this. If we "bash" GH, we should also "bash" others, because.......

?? I'm a little lost.

There isn't one soap on SON that isn't bashed for it's writing, characters, etc. No soap is immune from criticism at SON. The only thing is, there are people who have gotten tired of bitching about the other soaps. I used to bitch all of the time about GL & ATWT. I don't now. Why? Because I stopped watching them. It's kind of unfair to bash a soap that I don't watch. Same thing with Y&R and now AMC.

GH deserves to be in the basement. GH viewers deserve to have new writers who know how to properly tell a story instead of the lazy writing we've been getting for the past 5 years. But I wouldn't know anything about that since I've been watching this Godforsaken show for 30years though, right? Whatever.....

Um, I watch GH about everyday, mainly because I have nothing else to watch at that time on SoapNet and I don't find anything special about it. If you find something special about it then fine, that doesn't mean everyone else has to.

Um, some of us like the GH of yesteryear, you know the one that told stories around vets, socially-conscious stories, that was an ensemble show, and one where the mob wasn't the major focus, but one of many layers that made the show entertaining. GH lacks all of that currently, so I don't find it "special."

Also shawn, try reading the quote from Claire Labine in my sig. If there's any era of GH I'd rank as my favorite, it would be the era where she was the Head Writer. You still had the mob, but it wasn't the only focus of the show. Everything she talks about is missing on GH, the show has NO HEART anymore.

    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
    • Its realistic for Dani and  true of how the character thinks and operates. We've known her long enough to by that this would be consistent with her past characterizatioin
    • Random takes: - What was even the point of that jeweler guy? Also—Dani was borderline harassing him. - I know I’m probably in the minority here, but I want Jacob and Kat to happen. I need something messy to completely dismantle the Duprees—and Katomas just isn’t cutting it.  - I officially can’t stand Jacob and his wife. Same goes for Anita and Vernon. - Hayley’s corset was just as ugly as it looked uncomfortable. - I genuinely don’t remember when or how Derek and Ashley reconciled—and I’m someone who didn’t even mind their storyline! LMAO. - Tuesday’s episode was a mess. - Dani finding out about Hayley’s pregnancy and immediately thinking, “She’s faking it”—huh?! What writer thought that was a realistic reaction? I get denial, but that leap was absurd. I agree the ‘Leslie Victorious’ moment was way OTT. But hey, at least I wasn’t yawning. The following episode, where she handed over her daughter’s last few belongings was much better. - I can’t with the constant back-and-forth between Orphey Gene’s and the Country Club. I forgot this was such a soap trope, but even back in my loyal viewer days (late ‘90s, early 2000s), it wasn’t this bad. While GH has a ton of beautiful sets, we’re stuck with the same three—and half of them are ugly. Also: it’s been way too long since we had a party, gala, or any kind of event. I know the Richardsons’ anniversary gala (back in late April) has had a big ripple effect, but I was kinda getting used to those large-scale episodes. Fingers crossed they don’t go with Guza.  
    • The horrific comments execs and writers make when they justify rape storylines or keeping rapists as love interests is just so icky. I remember Ron Carlivati's comments about the reraping of Marty storyline on OLTL. Made my skin crawl.  No matter what you think of her, Susan Lucci could have demanded front burner storylines but she never did. She was happy to be part of an ensemble. I never got that vibe from Zimmer.  For me, Reva was just not a character I cared that much about after a certain point no matter how talented Zimmer is/was. I think Zimmer had a keener eye for what made a good storyline, but she was less willing to take a backseat if it meant someone else got to shine. I'm trying to recall if she ever mentions Michelle Forbes in her book--one of the few times the viewers did not care about Reva in a storyline. My sense is if she did, it was probably some backhanded remark about how she had to show Forbes the ropes.    
    • GH was good? I havent watched since Joss went away to do her traininig and Lulu had just called Brooklyn out for having Dante's baby and not telling him
    • BTG: A-  DAYS: B+  Eastenders: C
    • There was a rumor that Jean will die and that’s probably why she’s back then
