Whoo Hoo - Marlena is certainly on a roll when it comes to slamming GH. Now that pre-teens and guns are involved, she's especially ticked off. Check out her latest column at www.marlenadelacroix.com

"General Hospital is lower than dirt." LMAO!!! GO MARLENA!!!!

"Mr. “On Strike” Guza" She's so right. Even though Guza is "on strike," GH still has Guza-vision: more mobsters, more violence, kids with guns, no name sex, etc.

This Michael storyline is just another way for GH to showcase violence. I wish GH had a real HW instead of this Godfather wannabe. Go to primetime and work with your BFF (Charles Pratt Jr) - FREE GH from your deadly pen.

Awesome column Marlena!

This here could fit AMC and why a good portion of their audience isn't drinking the kool-aid after Greenlee almost killed Spike:

For sixty years, daytime soaps have stayed away from stories in which children are seriously endangered. Years ago an aspiring soap writer friend of mine pitched a story to Another World about a child being shoot in a convenience story robbery. He did it to delineate the animosity between the child’s divorced parents. As soon as the NBC vice president saw it, she screamed, “We don’t do children in peril stories!”

Great column Marlena!

Lol..."Mr. “On Strike” Guza" Lol

I agree Toups, Guza stink is still all over GH, we can't escape him even with a strike

As much as people think she isn't a problem, a lot of this has JFP written all over it. This is a woman who is known for injecting violence, doom and gloom, misogyny, stunts, and pure darkness to almost every show she's worked on. Then you have Frons who is essentially the same way....

Guza and JFP - talk about a team made in hell.

Yeah Frons is bad in his own way, but I don't think Frons is like JFP/Guza. I think he actually lets the HW writes. Look at OLTL with Carlivati. There's hardly any violence on that show.

AMC has Frons' stench all over it. Guza thinks like Frons in most ways when it comes to GH, so yeah I think he lets Guza do his own thing pretty much.

Angie, no I think B&E just suck, as do Guza and Jill. I don't think it's the HW's. OLTL is doing great and we know Valentini is a hack, but with Ron doing his thing the way he is, it doesn't seem like Frons is in on it.

There's no one there to balance out Guza's stupidity, because Jill and Frons both share his craptastic vision. We know Guza and Wendy Riche HATED one another in the 90's, but she balanced out his crappyness and made the show an ensemble that was thrilling to watch. Too bad GH doesn't have anyone like Riche these days, because everyone knows they need one. As Patrick Mulcahy said "Guza and Riche were like oil and water. She [Wendy Riche] annoyed him [Guza] so much, but she never failed to do her job that is to PRODUCE THE DAMN SHOW."

So I guess GH learned NOTHING from the backlash they got when they wanted to make MYKILL AJ's killer?

Angie, no I think B&E just suck

Yeah there's that added bonus too, they're not called "Show killers" for nothing

So I guess GH learned NOTHING from the backlash they got when they wanted to make MYKILL AJ's killer?

that was a mistake. GH should have just left Michael as teh killer as originally written

Sorry Cheap that I don't agree with. I found that very vile and repulsive they were even going that route. Bad enough AJ was Guza's whipping boy on top of that AJ would have been killed by his own son?

Ugh

GH continues to take the cake when it comes to repulsive "I CAN'T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT" storylines.

Its Jill Farren Phelps and Brian Frons that run GH, not Guza.

And I blame B&E for the CRASH storyline, and Frons for the consequent quick rewrite and white wash of Greenlee.

I agree. I'm glad that got a rewrite. I can't believe Guza even came up with that idea.....oh wait...yeah I can. Guza hated AJ.
