Could someone please "Sticky" this??

Giving this another bump to get sticked

Every month someone always says something about balance because the count for the leader is always low but I think this is a good example of bad balance and low counts. No one is on enough to really progress their stories which is why the show is so dull at times.

I never watched GL, but I see Marj Dusay's character is not very often on the show? Why doesn't she come to AMC, oh why?

She had a pretty meaty storyline last year when she was married to Cyrus, but since then has been rarely used.

Agreed. A good balance of characters is great, but when the biggest star of the month was only on for HALF the episodes, there's a problem. This entire list shows what little serialized drama GL has right now. This show is coming dangerously close to becoming just an anthology series or a travelogue of Northern New Jersey.

I know I've always expressed how little soul GL has had for the past few years, but this is ridiculous. GL has lost nearly everything that distinguishes a soap from every other genre. It's truly time for the show to leave the air.
