Members dragonflies Posted October 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Hopefully this cuts back on the misogyny, but I won't count on it, cause Frons still has his fat nose in stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Marley Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 I've never been so bored with a soap as I have with GH written by Wolfe these months. I'd welcome a monkey Co-Headwriter at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OldGHFan Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 One would think so. However, the Executive Producer of this show is a woman and we've all seen the misogyny under her leadership. I wouldn't count on any significant changes with this co-headwriter. If ABC was truly interested in saving GH, they would fire Jill Faren Phelps and I don't see that happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted October 24, 2011 Author Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Same here Marls. I wonder if someone in charge freaked seeing ratings still sucked even with GW writing, the effective immediately for Altman makes one wonder LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 It is just so strange how Guza had abysmal ratings with a steady decline for ten years and no one cared, this guy has been at it 3 months and already he is halfway out the door. according to wiki she held this position Another World Associate Head Writer: 1995 - 1999 so, does that bode well for GH? Anyone remember AW from this time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 THat was the era when AW was under JFP wasn't it and she killed it for good I think. The thing is Karen HArris, Michelle Van Jean were both HW;s at one point. I really don't get why GW or why not promote MVP to co HW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Mr. Vixen Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 I LOVED AW during that time...I believe that was the era of Lorna Devon and Cindy Harrison,I believe. Two of my favorite characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 I am loving GH under Garin right now, maybe it'll get even better with Shelly by his side It's nice we'll have a man & woman head writing GH in particular.

Members DRW50 Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 JFP drained any personality out of Lorna and turned her into a receptacle for FOJ John Bolger. It was good, in the long run, for Robin Christopher's bank account, but not great for the character. I hadn't heard Shelly Altman's name in a long time. What was her last soap credit? Maybe I just wasn't looking for her. AW was all over the place in its last years. I can't say she did anything to bring it stability. JFP needs to go, but then, even if she does, Frons is still there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JaneAusten Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Its just JFP giving another of her best buddies a job. Now that Guza is gone she is back to her old self. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted October 24, 2011 Members Share Posted October 24, 2011 Just in case anyone didn't know, she is already on the GH team right now as a breakdown writer (since August after she left OLTL). She's just been promoted to Co-HW it looks like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
