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!

    • There's some irony in Philip being forgiven, because it forces everyone to admit that Victor was wrong to change his will.  Everyone, eventually including Xander, (I presume), seems to think it was wrong for Victor to divide his estate in Xander's favor.  I appreciated Stephanie forgiving Philip, because she's got no skin in that game.  But, Belle's line about Philip missing Xander because he misses Bo did not ring true.  I think Philip would be sad if Bo dies, but I think he's more concerned currently about Xander. I am enjoying this EJ mystery so much that I am hereby taking a vow not to read spoilers.  I am also vowing — for the last time — to stop harping on this, but: the concept of a “sepsis treatment” remains absurd. Hospitals prevent sepsis through vigilant infection control; once sepsis sets in, it causes multiple organ failures. Treatment involves supporting each failing organ individually. The notion that a single medication could magically reverse organ failure is medically laughable. However, I like the contrast of Kim going through cancer, which is incurable in their universe.  Kayla's comment on the health of both of her siblings was both heartbreaking and an interesting twist.  MBE is also totally underrated.  She is carrying the weight of so many stories.   And, I like the use of Kayla as an audience surrogate.  She's arguably the most "real" person in Salem. Kayla isn't psychic, she wasn't SORASed, she's not a billionaire, and she doesn't have a bionic eye.  So, I enjoy that we get her perspective of the nuttiness that surrounds her. However, I don't get what gives her the authority to turn down EJ's offer.  I understand that they need a hospital figurehead to show us scenes of the competition to buy the hospital.  But, unless the entire administration has been let go, the Chief of Staff wouldn't make those choices.
    • But why worry about something that might not happen? Right now, most things revolve around the Duprees. We have no idea if or how long that will continue. For now, it's working.
    • The Duprees not having any staff is a bugbear for me. They've included the background staff at the Country Club but no one at the Dupree home. Even just an extra bringing in a tray of food/drinks or responding to a request from Anita would suffice.
    • Shut up, Dante and Lois.  I actually don't mind this particular soap trope, but in the context of this storyline, it just feels forced and unnecessary. If anything, this Dante/Gio tension needed to begin months ago. Plus, this storyline, in general, isn't doing Lois any favors either.  Emma comforting Gio was really sweet though. It's definitely time for the two of them to have their first kiss. And, Joss playing Secret Agent Barbie will just never work.
    • Note to makeup - Smitty’s eyebrows, bad clamshell look.

    • Okay I can buy that when Brook Lynn was a teen.  Now she knows the child is a boy one would think she'd be slightly suspicious.  Then again, Gio looks nothing like either of them so maybe not lol.
    • I've been behind & just got caught up & the last 3 days were amazing!
    • Yeah.  The hot, poor bad boy with a chip on his shoulder but with a heart of gold was a common soap trope in the 80s

    • That's been an issue with me... the lack of a cohesive 'Have Not' crowd that has focus other than Leslie/Eva.   I would beef up Jan, Mona, Laura, Joey, and few other male characters.. and not just be out to overthrow the Duprees.. but co-existing and broadening the scope of the show since the show is called Beyond the Gates. I think the set up the show has with everything revolving around the Duprees will become predictable especially if they always win.   It would be like Victor Newman on Y & R for 40+ years.. always winning, hardly ever losing.   With MVJ/Guza.. both trained under that mindset... I fear that will happen.   I've always heard from a performer that is playing a character like Leslie/Dana that you have to find the victim/hurt beneath the surface in order to play a villain/villainess... and I think that's why I enjoy watching her.. because she brings so much more to the part than what the writers put on the page.
