GH: Brenda Marathon

[Soapsuds]

Laura Wright is a shitty actress. She was awful on GL and is even worse as Carly on GH. I have never accepted her as Carly.

[R Sinclair]

I agree. Valley Girl Carly is soooooo cheap.

[All My Shadows]

They're rerunning an episode with Sarah Joy's Carly, though, that's what gets me. That's not like ABC at all, especially with a character like Carly.

While I agree that a lot of this is overkill, I for one am thrilled that they are doing the marathons. Aren't late 90s repeats better than repeats from earlier this year? If we have to have 20 episodes cut (as is rumored), I certainly hope we get more of these types of marathons than current repeats.

[R Sinclair]

That's just solidifying my point. LW takes a backseat to Vanity.

[Scotty]

Yes, but the majority of those marathons would be likely be for GH.

I thank SON for taking ABC to task for this. I am curious if the soap magazines and press will do the same? If not, they are saying this is OK, and OLTL and AMC don't matter, which lately have been getting better ratings than GH. I know I won't ever watch one second of GH and Brenda that's for sure.

[Scotty]

Thanks.

And what irks me is that OLTL would never get this kind of treatment, and (while it could happen), I highly doubt that AMC would get the GH treatment either. This is just yet another reason why I hate GH.

[leahanna]

I am a OLTL fan, and it makes me mad, I don't care about Brenda never watched her. But it is all ABC cares about, ABC SID never puts any other soaps on the cover and I read the ratings and for weeks GH was rated lower than AMC and OLTL. Why can't they do this during GH and on Soapnet. I can't believe they thought this was a good idea and that also means that on Friday we will be getting Thurs show for months until they get caught up.

[Scotty]

Exactly...I'm with you on this. I watch only OLTL. I know next to nothing about the character of Brenda, and couldn't care less if she comes back. This is a stupid idea even for ABC...and that is saying something.

[leahanna]

Sure is, real Greenlee, thought they learned their lesson after that one. BTW, I love your spoilers, the only ones I read.

[bellcurve]

It could be worse OLTL fanbois...the show would always be canceled or the budget could be further slashed to supplement GH's fantastic production values.

Just enjoy the ride.

[Scotty]

Thanks for the kind words about the previews.

As for ABC, no I'm afraid they'll never learn their lesson.

[Scotty]

Well, aside from perhaps cancellation (which might actually be a blessing right now), I don't see how things could get much worse for OLTL at the moment.

But, on the bright side, it will free up an extra hour of free time that afternoon to catch up on some chores, since I will not be watching the GH lovefest that day.

[bellcurve]

I would happily settle for AMC at 2EST and a David Muir hosted noon news hour. No need to put GH reruns on in OLTL's timeslot.
