Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 I hope so. They'll him and Leslie Nipkow when Fran Meyers, Jeanne Marie Ford, and Michelle Poteet Lisanti get the freakin boot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MarkH Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Clusterscrew? We say clusterbleep in our house. Wow...is this real? Might the logjam of JFP and/or Guza _finally_ be broken. Longterm stalwarts like Maurice Bernard and Anthony Geary CAN'T be happy. Couldn't one of them pull a Braeden at this point, and make some changes? Even if people LOVED the HW/EP, wouldn't it seem time to infuse some new energy...if only to invigorate things? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 I always thought that would happen - first Jill, then Guza! And I was right, apparently. It just seem logical to me. But you're right - bad writer + good EP = pfff... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 At this rate, I wouldn't give a feck if Geary was unhappy. He disappears for months at a time. It's not like really even had a story when he's there anyway, lol. Co-sign Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 I thought Jill had very limited power at GH, especially since Frons came to ABC. You know, Jill is a funny case. She can be a splendid EP when the writing for her shows are outstanding, like at Santa Barbara and GL during the Nancy Curlee years (save Jill's dumbass move to kill Maureen). However, when the writing for her shows sucks, like AW, OLTL, and GH, she tries to "invigorate" things and the shows end up sucking much more. I'd be scared with Jill being fired. I wouldn't be surprised if old friend Steve Kent had her hired at Y&R, a show with weak writing at the moment where Jill would bulldoze everything with her vision. I'm surprised that Jill and Guza aren't getting along. They both seem to share the same dark vision. A contrast to the Wendy Riche and Guza relationship, where those two couldn't stand one another.

Members Sylph Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 But why does GH look so cheap these days? I mean, this woman is known for refined sets and excellent taste in music. At least that "superficial" stuff should be taken care of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Jill liked her extra power during the writers strike. She wasn't too happy when it was taken away when the Big G returned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Dr. Jay S.W. Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 LOL I stopped caring what Tony Geary thinks years ago. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Same here. It's obvious he's happy w/ the status quo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Are you surprised? I think part of it has to do with Jill having almost no power there, well not to the extent that she had at SB, GL, AW, and OLTL. Also, GH wastes all of its money every year on crappy stunts and giving contracts to actors that they don't even utilize, so I can see why set improvement doesn't rank high on their list. Anyone who saw Jill's years at SB, GL, AW, and OLTL knows how magnificent she is with production values. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Adam Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Aside from Bill Bell Jr., isn't Jill the longest serving EP currently in daytime? 2001 she came in? And GH has gotten steadily worse every year she has been there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Corday is the longest serving EP, then Brad Bell, Chris Goutman has spent 9 years at ATWT. Jill's been at GH for over 7 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ryan Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 Jill and Goutman I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Sylph Posted June 2, 2008 Members Share Posted June 2, 2008 No, not really, when I think about it... I just think she should take a very long sabbatical or whatever... Never to be seen again. What I hate is her authoritarianism and the need for total control, she just doesn't know how and when to stop! In that way, she is similar to Rauch, although I believe Rauch used to be a much better producer (I mean his time with Lemay on AW). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
