Mean spirited is calling someone a loser and saying what they write is retarded. People have a right to express their opinions about the show, not to call other posters names. It's unnecessarily and tends to hold a certain irony quite frankly.

I think GH should be grateful for that 2.3. Luke in purgatory was so stupid. I love Luke, but damn. I'm also thrilled to see Days rise. i don't watch, but I'm thinking of starting.

Wishing for a soaps cancellation is not a bright idea given the fact that all of them are on shaking ground. DAYS possible cancellation will just create a domino effect for other shows.

Anyways, YEAH for DAYS. I think with Marlena and others moving to front burner status the last few weeks the show should at least maintain if not move up.

I don't want cancellation for any show, especially GH - I want CHANGE! I want improvement, I want somenone at ABC to take freakin notice and see that their shows are tanking and badly! I want my damn show back!!

But none of that will be happening with Frons in charge.

As a fan of both couples, and my fandom is all about chemistry, neither story is doing GH any favors. I don't know if it's because they are on every damn day or if it's the pairing itself and it's not a viewer getter. I don't know. But GH needs to improve to compete and if that means shaking up the canvas, then by all means .... but something needs to be done and NOW.

But as I said there won't be change without removing the problem(s) first. Guza, Frons, JFP, Korte and their minions have to go!

lol at everyone acting all ~drama~ ... (i know, pot meet kettle.. i got it, lol)

srsly, some people love GH right now and some people love Days right now and others HATE it. just like all other soaps.

and why people still argue over ratings meaning something to fans is like daying winning ane mmy proves you a great actress/actor.

to a FAN all the matters is whats on the screen and if iuts good or not.

whatevs. this thread is always so much drama and personal attacks...

and i love it.

I wouldn't even have a problem with the violence/mob if it were done well.

I'm still shocked that ATWT is doing so well. I love seeing those 2.6 days. I just hope all the soaps can do well for the next sweeps period. I'd rather not see the MetroCourt become ATWT version of the Snyder far or GL's version of the Beacon. Production values do matter imo, and GH is going to really be a nightmare if it starts looking cheap on top of everything else.

    • These contract guarantees of 1 ep per month are ridiculous. How can you even have a story if your character apprars 4-5 times in a month? It's sad.
    • It's hard to tell with some actors appearing on average 4 times in a month whether they're recurring or just on a low guarantee contract. Someone recurring  like Beth Maitland can be used a lot for several months then disappear. So the monthly tallies aren't enough to go by.
    • Of the so-called "contract" cast members, I'd venture to say these are recurring: Bryton James, Camryn Grimes, and (possibly) Michael Graziadei.  I've suspected since 2018 that Kate Linder and Christian LeBlanc are recurring.  And I believe we all know Miss Ordway is, because she said so. lol.  
    • Dante blaming Gio instead of his dweeb son and the other dweeb was just ridiculous. Gio's paternity story is going in circles with no reveal. I've already started fast forwarding Drew and his stupid ho Willow's story. Kristina's story is beyond dumb with no great payoff.
    • Sarah (with the English accent) isn't just some random character.  Sarah was once the housekeeper for Eliot Dorn and Margo Huntington.  One of the following 2 scenarios happened a few months ago: (1):  One night, while Margo wasn't at home, and while Oscar the Doorman wasn't at his post, a burglar sneaked into the private elevator, rode up to the penthouse, stole several thousand dollars worth of Margo's valuable diamonds and pearls, and tied-up Eliot Dorn and Sarah the Housekeeper, ensuring that Eliot and Sarah couldn't pursue the burglar back down to the lobby or phone the police to apprehend the burglar. OR --  (2): Eliot Dorn was SLEEPING with Sarah the Housekeeper, and the two of them conspired to steal Margo's jewelry and went on a lavish spending spree and then tied THEMSELVES up to make it look as though a burglary had occurred in the penthouse. Margo Dorn currently believes Scenario #1 occurred, and she's rather annoyed that the "incompetent police" haven't located her stolen jewels yet.  Eliot and Sarah know that Scenario #2 actually occurred.  When Sarah stopped by the Unicorn and saw Eliot kissing Raven Swift, Sarah snidely said, "Oh! This must be Mrs. Dorn!  Nice to meet you, Mrs. Dorn!" Sarah knew good & damn well Raven isn't "Mrs. Dorn" because Sarah worked for Margo Dorn on a daily basis for many months.  That was Sarah's not-so-subtle way of announcing, "I'll be paying a visit to District Attorney Logan Swift and letting him know that his wife is sleeping with you, and I'll be paying a visit to WMON to let Margo Huntington know that you're sleeping with Mrs. Swift!"  lol.     
    • The AMC hate came from Jamey Giddens/DC and their industry friends, IMO. For whatever reason I always felt they targeted the show, and it was wrong. AMC ratings were decent and even went up under Pratt (Yet, he was fired). The ratings were also good under Broderick and lowered out after her interim.  There was no reason to be upset with the show other than it being slow. They literally played it safe and did the best they could in 2010 and 2011. 
    • I have very detailed synopses of all 1976 storylines for the soaps from the Daytime Serial Newsletter. Please let me know if you are interested in a particular show and I will post it in the appropriate thread. As I stated they are very detailed, so I don't want to clutter up threads if posters are not interested.

    • Surely we (and Billy Flynn) are not going to be saddled with a character named Aristotle Dumas? This isn't 1970's Edge of Night.
    • What annoys me a little bit about the "day players" is they sound a bit too "Brooklyn-ish" sometimes.  Obviously, the show was taped in New York City, and the actors are all New York actors, but Monticello is supposed to be located in Illinois or Ohio.  Occasionally, they grab actors and actresses for small roles who have VERY distinct New York accents, which contrasts sharply with the main cast, none of whom have noticeable accents (except for our dashing European gigolo, Eliot Dorn, of course).  The heavy Brooklyn accent works fine if the character is a bookie, or the owner of a pawn shop, or a guy who's selling stolen guns on the street corner.  But when it's a steadily recurring character -- such as the first Mrs. Goodman, who worked for Miles and Nicole -- it's pretty jarring to me sometimes.  And you'll see it often -- such as an "under-five" character who witnesses a car accident, or a character who witnesses a shooting, or the occasional desk clerk, or waiter.
