TVG: Was the WGA Strike Good for Soaps?

z9z9z9z9z9 RuRuRuRuRuPaul is that you? :rolleyes:

Anyhow, GH was the only show I watched regularly (I've since tuned out since the lackluster, insulting Diego=TMK reveal) during the strike, and he's right about that show. It was just as incredibly dark as it ever was.

I think one of the biggest reasons GL's writing became even worse over the past few weeks, is because DK "stock piled" so many scripts before the strike. His writing was hit-and-miss at best before the strike, but trying to get so much in the can before the strike just made everything written even more haphazard. There were even a couple of shows where continuity didn't carry through the same episode, much less the same story!

I'm hoping things get better once we start seeing "fresh" material. Who knows, maybe DK had a chance to actually watch GL during the strike and finally picked up on all of the things the fans have been complaining about for months....

Hmmm..I remember a quote from David Kreizman during the "Take The Light With You" on ipods, and he even admitted that he never watched the show at all. Maybe sometime within the writers strike, he was able to actually see the show that he's writing for and how badly it blows...

Great post, Shakur! :)

I have been waiting for Penny to show up again just so I can get a few laughs. She always was good for humor but not the HA HA kind...the kind where you just laugh at the ridiculousness ;)

Maybe she got that writing job at AMC or OLTL? We can only hope! Her story ideas mirror that of the great Agnes Nixon! :)

    • -- We're getting really bad soap. I honestly couldn't care less about any of it, and I wish the ratings would freefall so we'd get a change in writers. -- Does anyone believe Victor would spend his evenings walking around the GCAC and looking for people to talk to? Without Nikki on his arm? -- I'm again left to looking at sets (the few we get each day). Am I right that they moved the bar in at the GCAC to place it more diagonally to the dining room? -- The last time we saw Crimson Lights the room looked smaller to me, so I Googled images of CL, and yeah, it's smaller. Along the back wall where the booths are, there once was wall area behind the booth on the right. That wall area is now gone. -- When Phyllis hijacked Billy's phone to get Dumas' number, I gagged when she went to the park in the middle of the night to break into it. Who does that? -- I feel sorry for these actors. This is all such garbage that I have no words.

    • I think early RH had arguably some of the most complex characters on daytime; people who were truly neither all saints nor all sinners.
    • I remember reading posts a while back theorizing that Hayley and June could be sisters.  I compared their voices in today's episode, and I believe it's possible.  Maybe the photo is Hayley and June as children or teens?
    • I would be lying if I said I cared about the direction of this Mama June storyline. Doesn't make me care that much for Jacob or Naomi...although I actually want to know these characters better, but just not in this capacity.  Honestly, it would be best if she's somehow connected to Hayley, because that character is seriously in a corner. Even after all they did, Eva and Leslie have more reason to interact with the rest of the cast.   
    • -- Great scenes with Andre and Nicole. -- I hope Dani loses Andre because she wants to keep him hidden. He deserves better, and I have no idea why she's acting that way. -- The hair stuff with Eva at the end was fun, but does she carry hair pieces and extensions with her, too? -- Samantha looks 30 lately. I can't unsee it now that I know. -- I am glad we already see Eva and Samantha getting along. I didn't want weeks of Samantha shading her. -- Clifton Davis was pretending he can't sing, and that didn't work. It looked like we were watching someone pretending he can't hit a note. -- They need to step up this Anita storyline. Watching her and Vernon praise each other every day is getting tiresome. -- Hayley clearing Bill's desk to have sex was cringe. He enjoyed it, but it won't be long before he realizes he married a little girl instead of a woman.
    • @Jason47 For Your Information, generally.  I have just exchanged emails with the Paley Center. They got back to me within 24 hours!!  They have  However,  I have suggested to them that it is a clerical error Hart instead of Hunter but gave them the info on her years, her character name & that she did indeed marry David Martin. I referred her to imdb & wiki to double check me, should she wish to make a notation.  Now for the bad news:  So, that's a shame. If anyone is in the vicinity, you can view videos sitting in a cubicle. I did so when we lived in Brooklyn. Their hours: The Paley Center is open to the public Wednesday through Sunday from noon to 6 p.m.
    • The way Andre held Dani afterwards, be still my heart. They think its only booty call hook ups, but I'm sensing a love slowly growing.  Way too much booty popping LOL.
    • I'm just pleased the homeless plotline has a point. I'm surprised they're going here this soon with the kids.
    • All caught up on May 2025, and it was rough. Truly rough.
