Members titan1978 Posted October 23, 2016 Members Share Posted October 23, 2016 When I was watching at that time, it was pretty clear he had already started moving the stories in new directions because the show was a mess and suddenly, it got good again. Guza was a great writer for GH for his first HW stint, and this one until the death of Lucky. But once Riche was gone he was just awful most of the time. I think the only reason I enjoyed Ron's first year was because he wrote the show as an ensemble, and not as Jason/Sonny/Carly hour. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted October 24, 2016 Members Share Posted October 24, 2016 I think GH fell apart during the latter half of 1998 to be honest, and never found its footing again (and that was WITH Riche). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted October 25, 2016 Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 I do not disagree. Guza was fired as I recall. Laura was sidelined. For me, the recast Lucky and Nikolas were awful and had more chemistry with each other than any romantic pairing. Roy should have been left in the past and Bobbie should have had a fresh love interest. Angel and Hannah were both awful replacements for Brenda. We spent forever fighting to get Michael and it made the Q's insufferable. Burton fought his intended pairing with Carly in every scene they shared. Stefan was destroyed. The repeat death for Katherine was a waste. I would rather forget Chloe and that sister for Alexis whose name I can't remember. Luke and Felicia was terrible for both of them. I could go on and on lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted October 25, 2016 Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 That was when everyone got a sister--Kristina Cassadine, Sarah Webber, Courtney, and ?Gia were all brought on (or back on) in weeks... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members slick jones Posted October 25, 2016 Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 It was like Oprah walked on set and said..."You get a sister, You get a sister...etc..." 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted October 25, 2016 Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 I remember Marlena de Lacroix panning the show in '99 because nothing was ever happening. That had happened even before then but it wasn't fashionable to say. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGHFan Posted October 25, 2016 Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 Man, I forgot how truly awful the show became then. And it's gone downhill ever since. Right before this was the last time I was truly invested in this show. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted October 25, 2016 Members Share Posted October 25, 2016 Considering how the show is nowadays, I'd happily welcome 98-99 GH back 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted November 7, 2016 Members Share Posted November 7, 2016 (edited) It really wasn't any better. The best I can say was that at least Alan was still around. Edited November 7, 2016 by DRW50 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victoria foxton Posted November 7, 2016 Share Posted November 7, 2016 I remember this Paul and Katherine's cousin were lovers and planned to murder Katie Lady for the Delafield millions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
