GH to go hi-def?

[JackPeyton]

IMHO, thats proof Jill has very very very little power at GH.

[rangethatrover]

I have thought that too! But gosh, Frons controls lighting design now too? GH doesn't even have lighting design, really. Its like some drunk teamster randomly hung some spot lights.

I picture JFP on the phone all day or at a computer doing budgeting and listening to Frons bitch, as well as her greedy male actors. I guess her visual and musical influences that were always clear on her shows has just fallen by the wayside.

The rumor must be true that Frons spend alot of time at GH. Valentini is a master budgeter and controls OLTL's musical and visual aesthetic with an iron fist. He is the one responsible for a new band on the show every week. (Which is not my cup of tea, but whatever)

They won't even need to redo sets if the lighting is vastly improved. I think at Y&R they did have to repaint some things but that was about it. I linked that article a few weeks ago.

I am far from saying Fros is working lighting at GH, lol. However i do believe perhaps she has been stripped of so much power she kinda let it all go to hell. I dont know how that would help her, but it happens when moral at the workplace is down. I mean -- look how bad the actors on GH have become in the past few years. Its not because they suck, its because they are uninspired and prob hate the job. sad.

I do think that between the bits of times Guza has been gone and a few interviews if Jill had the power she should as EP at GH then actors like Greg V and Rick H would be on more, the hospital group would be a bigger part of the show than the mob, among various other things.

I am sure Fronsie tries to interfear at OLTL too, but fact is Jill is a women in a very male dominated club over at GH. Frons, Guza, Benard, Geary, Burton... they run GH. its sad really, but true.

Thats why i want a new head of abc, a new HW at gh, and some actors to be let go before even thinking about replacing Jill.

I hate to say this but GH has a much more consistently talented cast than OLTL's. It is a shame that GH's potential is so wasted.

JFP must hate taking all the blame and dealing with guys like Steve Burton and Maurice. It sickened me when Steve Burton's fan girls came here to manipulate the polls.

I do not get his appeal. AT-TALL.

[JackPeyton]

I like Burton -- but i dont love him.

and lets not leave Geary blameless in this either. Hes just as bad, IMHO. The three of them could all use a good firing.

I do agree about GH vs OLTL's cast. GH's is by far better and stronger all around. However at this point very few people even try.

[S&BFanForLife]

Don't forget about Teethen. OH.THE.HORROR!!

[rangethatrover]

With the new lighting, Bradford's eye bags will simply DISAPPEAR!

[CSF]

I have to agree with that. If JFP was more in control, I believe we would see less Mob and more Hospital. I just have that feeling. Guza is the mob freak and since he is credited as coordinating producer, I think he controls the lighting to correspond with his tragic writing.

Just like at GL, the Spaulding's were very prominent during JFP's reign. I think the same would be for the Quartermaine's, but it was Guza who wanted to kill them all off.

Well it looks like this is true. TV Guide.com is reporting it.

Thursday an in-depth look. Let's see.

You have to love that they've written Sonny and Carly when the photo is of Sonny and Claudia...Laura Wright will love that

Picture of Maurice and Sarah Brown - "Sonny and Carly will look sharper than ever."

If only he would disappear along with them.

[DaytimeFan]

I agree too, if JFP had the power she used to wield at her old shows the Hospital would have a stronger presence and the Mob would be secondary. She also would have fired Steve Burton by now (JFP isn't impressed with him, one, little, bit)...JFP is a bitch, there is no doubt about it, but she can also be very nice and very good at executing a vision.

That's the problem with GH: the vision. Guza is a bigger part of the problem than JFP...but even then...it's FRONS who is the iron fist at GH. He's just IN LOVE with Benard and Burton and the rest of the male chauvinist pig crowd.

At ABC Daytime the problems start from the top down.

As much as I wouldn't want JFP anywhere near Y&R or B&B (actually scratch that, she'd probably do some good at B& I am glad that she's probably gleeful right now with the move to HD and the new hospital set.

One other thing: Bradford Anderson is one of the ugliest people to EVER appear on television and his asinine line reading is excruciating to endure. His undereye bags can only be solved by surgery...but then you've got the rest of his face to contend with!

[Sylph]

But Brad will never relinquish his EP duties. You know that.
