Riiiiiight two people who haven't been together in over 4 weeks are bringing down this show, sure.

The Greenlee redemption bus that has YET to run out of gas is eating this show ALIVE.

Compared to other couples, Zen are pretty much on the backburner. They have YET to get a storyline that isn't propping someone else.....

LMAO oh Ryan will get more screentime when his Green Butterfly returns ;)

Ahhh now those were good times. I have to disagree about Sonny/Brenda. Never liked them and I found him abusive towards her....but outside of Brenda, I loved Sonny. Watched the show from 1993-1997 (day Sonny arrived and the day he left) and in 2002 when Brenda returned just to see if it would be interesting and it was not so I quit again...I have seen the Sonny of 2002 to present in watching and reading recaps and, unfortunately, the character is now scum and needs to go.

That is exactly how I feel about GH...I watched it for four years from 1993-1997 and liked some stories (Sonny outside of Brenda, Luke/Laura, Monica's breast cancer, Stone/Robin and Stone battling AIDs, BJ's death) but other than that I was just not that interested...then it still got rave reviews from 1998 to the present and I just do not see the big thing (of course they also get negative reviews, which they deserve for trying to be the next Sopranos. There is only one Sopranos show and GH will never measure up to it). Even when it was at the height of its glory in the 80s, I did not find it that great of a soap...relied too much on action adventure plots rather than basic soap elements to be popular. Obviously it was very good in the 80s but not to the point of which it was touted.

However, I am like you and won't come down on people if they are a fan of GH...because we all have opinions.

It is not special if it glorifies violence and refuses to dive into romance, social issues, family oriented stories, and have a sense of humor. GH tries too hard to be like The Sopranos....and there is only one The Sopranos show and GH can try as hard as they can but they will never measure up to that great series.

Oh please give me a break. Do you honestly expect me to believe you? I'll give to you that maybe a FEW people complain here and there about a soap. But its CONSTANTLY..."OMFG GH is all mob" or "OMG GUZA HAS GOT TO GO!" or "OMG GH LOST 0.1 IN THE RATINGS! YEAH BABY! ROCK ON!"

Sorry but thats classless and pathetic really. I don't wish that on any other soap and frankly I could care less how the other soaps are doing. If they do bad then so be it. If they do good kudos to them. Just so long as GH is doing fine I'm all happy and dandy. And if GH has a weak week or so I'm also cool because I know it will bounce back eventually.

My problem is that people seem to ge turned on by the fact that GH droped a small amount from one week and are all of sudden in some fantasy land where GH is in danger of cancellation or something in addition to Guza being fired.

SO my response to that is obviously going to be to point out the hypocrisy and SELECTIVE vision that some posters seem to be experiencing. Tell me again why no one is crying about AMC or OLTL? Or GL? Or even DAYS!?

WHY is GH the focuse of the SON Roast this week?

Please keep tapping "Queen"...

I'm just sure it will get you somewhere just like all the GH bashing is somehow miraculously gonna cause GH to drop to last place in the rankings.

And really I honestly don't care how long you've been watching soaps and I'm NOT trying to have a contest on just who is "America's or SON's Most Experience General Hospital Viewer".

@ Shawn

LOL...."grown ass man" PREACH IT!

    • She was great on there. And Wings. And so many shows. I don't feel like we get those character actors as much now.
    • Cady did have a southern accent as Dixie in her first few years playing the character... but it started to minimize the longer she played the character (which tracks because my aunt had a heavy southern accent when married my uncle and years living in the north has softened it quite a bit). Her initial stint playing Rosanna was partly due to mirroring the previous actress and eventually developing her own take on the character. And the thing about her take as Kelly on Y & R was that she was too sedate when she first took over playing the role (she was supposed to play a woman that had recently lost her child.. and trying to keep things together) and then went OTT crazy and didn't play it well.    And I don't care to remember her attempt at playing Jennifer on Days. I think this Pamela character is the first time she's playing a character from the start and I think she's like a kid at a candy store.  She's having so much fun trying different things... and I hope eventually she decides to settle on a more consistent character for Pamela (perhaps her love of accents is a character trait based on something traumatic that happened to her in the past maybe).
    • That's sad. I remember her mostly from ER and the shortlived, yet very funny, sitcom The Powers That Be.
    • As always loved seeing Ric with Liz. I hope the show forever keeps them in each others orbit even if it’s just platonic. I’m sure she’s going to cut him out when she finds out he’s blackmailing Alexis though. So darn.
    • I have to be honest I’m really struggling with this show. I love everything with Eva/Leslie/Ted/Nicole/Kat and enjoy Dani and Bill’s shenanigans (I’m on the Hayley needs to be recast train now tho), Chelsea is second to Kat as my favorite Dupree grandkid and I loved her coming out to her mom. The show was on a truly great run with the big Leslie and Eva reveal at Nicole and Ted’s anniversary party and the fall out has still been good even with the unnecessary Ted recast and them making Leslie kind of dumb by exposing herself too much unnecessarily. The real problem for me started when they rotated back to way too damn much screen time for Derek/Ashley/Andre (if anyone should have been up first for a recast it was these three IMO). They tried way too hard to drum up drama between Ashley and Derek and the actors were clearly fighting for their mediocre charisma less acting lives to make it work but none of it landed, just horrible. Naomi and Jacob and this weird homeless woman story are also BORING. I can see where its potentially going but IDGAF at all, my only hope for them is that they’re building a triangle with Naomi/Jacob/Kat because Jacob and Kat have stronger chemistry together than their current love interests (Eva is the only one who can make the awful Tomas work). Martin, his secret and still cringe worthy acting got kind of interesting with Bill dropping hints to Smitty but they completely lost me with that lil fakeout scene at the country club. The lame “teenagers” (air quotes because Samantha is no Bianca Lawson and never beating the black Andrea Zuckerman allegations) can get off my screen as well. Joey creeping on Vanessa is grossing me out at this point, I actually quite like Vanessa and Doug now but Joey falls totally flat as a villain and someone we’re supposed to buy Vanessa being enamored with. I’m glad they’ve finally set up something interesting for Vernon and Anita to do with this girl band reunion instead of Anita wringing her hands and telling us she feels darkness coming and Vernon giving a civil rights speech every episode but yeah… People who’ve posted with me for other shows know I’m not one for fast forwarding or hate watching either, if I find a majority of a show is not working I usually just quit but because of what this show represents for me as a Black male soap fan I really want to stick it out. Its just become a challenge lately. I saw Guza has left the building and I REALLY hope we hear about some more BTS changes. The additions of Tracy Thompson and Jamie Giddens don’t exactly inspire a lot of confidence from me tho. Honestly praying hard for a new EP to replace JHC, a lot of the stuff that annoyed about her PC and AMC runs has started to match up here. I’m giving the show through the Summer to rectify some things but IDK how long I can hold on tbh. Its been a struggle to even finish some of these episodes lately.
    • I agree. I liked the episode but it felt jarring to suddenly return to a bunch of plots that had been put on pause since the Nurses' Ball started. Although I did like Laura popping in at the end to tell Alexis that millions of dollars have suddenly disappeared from Ace's trust fund. One set of scenes that made me feel optimistic for the next few months were between Sofia Mattsson and Rory Gibson. While Rory has been good as a darker, colder Michael this week, I was worried that he might not have much range. But he really warmed up with Mattsson, and I thought that (for the first time) Michael and Sasha had some genuine chemistry.
    • Next week is going to be such a sad time... I just feel it based on what was shown today. I'm wondering if the whole John being bandaged thing being a throwback to how he first arrived on the show was a Ron C idea since it just seems as though this would be something he would come up with.  If so, it's good that Cwikly/Ford are in charge with the implementing of the idea instead of him. Just a delayed thought from the Ciara scenes earlier in the week, or last week.. and how she had an odd way of dressing/acting.  I chuckle because little Ciara did say that she admired and wanted to be just like Kristen when she grew up.  So the fact that her outfit choices are so odd/off beat and her manner is a bit OTT just fits.. especially since Eileen's Kristen had an odd sense of fashion and that frantic OTT undertone to her delivery. With that said, a part of me wonders how Eileen's Kristen would have handled the scenes being done this week in regards to John's situation.   
    • My god the smirking was back in full force today. He almost started smiling after Johnny mentioned he wouldn’t be there if EJ hadn’t raped Sami. I will say I did like seeing him with Dee as they’ve always had great chemistry.    They really are giving a lot of false hope with John getting better. I wish they hadn’t done that. Monday is going to be devastating. I really liked all the characters mixing and mingling today.  Nu-Rachel is still too sweet for me. Loved all the flashbacks. Everyone looked so young. Really enjoyed Brady’s scenes with John today.
