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?

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.

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.

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).
