The fact of the matter is that Guza is already claiming that having Michael shot was done to appease the audience. He is never going to deal with what irks many viewers because he would prefer to invoke the viewers ire as a means of justifying whatever shocking thing he chooses to do. There is no possible way that he came to the illogical conclusion that people saying Michael should pay for what he did to Kate meant they wanted Michael to be shot in the head.

This would have been different in terms of consequences if Michael had accidentally shot himself or a family member with legitimate fallout.

I will say that I think something happening to Michael is the one that has the capabilities of affecting the most people. It is what probably could create the most amount of emotional drama and turmoil. So that point I actually get.

ON THE OTHER HAND, saying that this is Michael's punish for the gun, saying that it would make fans feel better about the slap on the wrist he got about getting the gun, and that GH has been nothing but glorifying violence is all a bunch of BS!

At the moment I am seeing the drama and emotional turmoil in this story. It is keeping my interest. But I am not holding my breath for Guza to tell the story correctly and actually keeping it an emotional story.

I dont see anything wrong with shooting Michael. I dont agree with the train of thought that him getting shot is a consequence for him picking up a gun. I think it should be more of a consequence of the life Sonny leads. His life affects those around him and it was only a matter of time before one of his kids got hurt. I think thats where they should be focusing this on and really bring about a real change bc for him to go back to leading the violent mob life as if nothing happened would have made this all a waste. Even with Carly, this should bring about change and stop her from seeing Sonny and his life through rose colored glasses and realize the true nightmare which is her family's life thanks to association with the mob. They make light of it and this story should cause them all to rethink their current positions. Id have killed Michael off and really gone for the full effect

Yeah it has the potential......but we're not going to see the side of the story that a lot of people want to see. Where's Bobbie? Where are the Q's? Will Sonny/Carly say anything to Morgan? Will will see Morgan's reaction, or even Kristina's? Where's his FAMILY? Only Sonny, Jason and Carly are Michael's family?

Instead all we see is the MOB angle and that is the only angle Bob Guza wants to tell.

^^Completely agree with you there Toups. That is why I said at the moment I could go along with the story because it is dealing with those aspects that are in the potential. I am not looking at this with blinders on because I know at some point the potential and real focus of where the story should go will be lost to only the MOB aspect.

      I'm not going to watch (because...well...that M-dude...lol) but knowing the history between Henry and Roger, I could see Henry wanting to enable Hart to stay independent of Roger. I could even see it as Henry having the last laugh at Roger. Roger hated "the Henry's" of the world, which basically meant anyone who had money and social prominence. Twice Roger swindled Henry out of a chunk of his fortune, so giving some to Hart, who hates his father, is a form of karma.

      Ashley and Derek have to go- they really throw off the pace of the show.  Today was the first time I fast-forwarded through their scenes. The writing and acting is just bad for both characters.

      Jon is stuck in a story that isn't popular but with Cady I feel like the issue is that she was clearly thrown in with no real purpose. I still don't understand why she pops up. I recall early on it being said she owned a spa but we've never seen it. That could've been an interesting location for people to meet. She also could've worked better as Smitty's mom, but instead we get this random agent of Dani's who pops up twice a month? A total waste. I mostly agree. I do feel like Jan could be elevated with a name soap actress, someone like Judi Evans or Kassie DePaiva comes to mind, but they're limited to who is in Atlanta. Keeping that in mind I think the current actress is fine.

      It's great to see. My thoughts might be a little different, but for the most part, I am excited and interested in most of the storylines. Yeah, you're right. This is probably how she (Dani) normally acts. And, I do not like it!  I agree; this is another distraction while she heals her wounds. If I weren't an Eva fan, she helped me root for her even more. As I said a month ago, I hope they take their time with her modeling agency. I would love to see her face a few obstacles before becoming a huge success.

      I like that there are a lot of local performers on this soap and I'm glad they've resisted so far on hiring too many soap performers.   Cady has been awkward on the show thus far and Jon seems to have polarizing as well. I say focus on the local talent and giving those people a job and exposure.. and leave the P & G soap opera performers in the past.

      Who do you think would be good for the show among the ATWT/GL cast?

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
