Members Cheap21 Posted June 9, 2011 Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 If I had my way, all 4 would be canned anyway. Im sick of JJ's constant crying, MB's yelling and SB's blank stares. AG would probably feel the most at home bc he's used to his character acting like a fool for laughs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ER Tosh Posted June 9, 2011 Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 He is just going to be a scriptwriter guys. He is not going to have the title of "lord dictator of General Hospital" or something. I don't think the Fords will replace the mob or anything big will change.

Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 9, 2011 Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 I think GH is going to be a whole different show now. I'm hoping the Frank Valentini rumor is true. A Guza/Phelps free GH could be amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted June 9, 2011 Author Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 http://abc.soapsinde...eads-to-gh.html ABC Daytime has released a statement from Carlivati regarding his move to GH after OLTL wraps production. "I remain fully committed to Frank Valentini and OLTL as the show's headwriter until the series concludes in January of 2012," he says. "It has been my distinct honor to write for Agnes Nixon's groundbreaking soap opera for the past fifteen years, and it will be with a heavy heart that I, along with my incredibly talented team, pen its finale. At that time, I am happy to announce that I will then be joining the writing team of GH, and am thrilled to be working once again with executive producer Jill Phelps as well as new headwriter Garin Wolf."

Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 9, 2011 Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 Sounds good. I just wish JFP was out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted June 9, 2011 Members Share Posted June 9, 2011 I don't see how two uncharismatic Ken dolls with plastic bodies are going to do much for ratings. The show has tried very hard to throw them both at various women and in various stories and it usually flops. What bothers me most with RC's hiring is the rape apologies that his tenure at OLTL has been steeped in. In 3 years he has had more stories that tell viewers rape is hot and rape is love than I have ever seen on any other show. I guess it's fitting that he is going to GH, given the Luke/Laura origins, but even then GH properly addressed the rape in a way RC's OLTL never would dare. I'm not exactly sure what qualities would warrant his hiring. He's not the worst, but he can't tell long-term stories and the dialogue during his tenure has been awful. The characterization is OK, but GH doesn't really have a problem with characterization. The humor pretty much went out the window too - other than women catfighting and people laughing at Jessica's rape/sexual abuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGHFan Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 I agree. I'm hesitant to watch but he's gotta be better than Guza. And if only we could get rid of JFP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 I just remembered, Ron does have experience writing the mob, remember when the Russian mob invaded Llanview a few years ago? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 But there's a difference. I don't care if a show has mob. GH has always had mob. Frank Smith, anyone? The difference is, they should be BAD guys. The ones you love to hate because of the drama they cause for the good guys, who you root for. The problem GH has is that 1) the mob is too central and 2) they try to shove killers down our throats as pillars of morality. I'm sorry, I don't comprehend how we can have a whole episode of people running around talking about how gentle and kind these mobsters are, and then have the episode end with them shooting someone in the head without even blinking. There's a word for that, but it aint' gentle, kind or moral. If GH understood that mobsters are villians, the tone of the show would be different and far more enjoyable. That's why characters like Frank Smith and Faith Roscoe were so popular/enjoyable. Because they were written as they should have been. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 Isn't this going to be basically like when Jean Passanante rejoined OLTL after ATWT was canceled and everyone said she would be co-headwriting, but, all she's done is script and break down work? I doubt we'll see that much different--depending I suppose how Wolf works out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted June 10, 2011 Members Share Posted June 10, 2011 He has a sense of humor, something Guza and the rest of the GH writing staff does not. The epitome of humor on GH amounts to Spinelli's antics and Luke's endless supply of disguises and scams Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
