Members ER Tosh Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 It will be strange if Ron C is the one turn the lights off on the GH/AMC/OLTL/Loving/The Cityverse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think Ron was a fan of a very limited range of the show - if he adored it I don't know if he would have done some of the stuff he did which trashed important stories and characters (like the rapemance). There was always a lot of darkness in his OLTL, under the LAUGH NOW mentality. I guess we may see more of that (if he takes over as headwriter), although I'd love if they bring Ron Hale back and have him meet up with Roxy and leave happily ever after. I'd also love if Steve Burton has to spend the rest of his time on GH talking to a stuffed porcupine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 So I wonder what female will get a rapemance? Probably Liz since she was already raped once. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 The Chew is kind of a special case. It's full of very popular food personalities who have all kinds of connections to even more popular personalities like Paula Deen. They spent month after month pushing this show everywhere. So has ABC - constant promos everywhere. I was surprised that it was as low as it was early on. This show has had everything going for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think Y&R is so far gone a lot of people may just want any change, especially if they like some of JFP's work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I'm not surprised Carl, the show talks down to viewers. I think it'll go back down after the holiday's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I think all the shows will go back down after the holidays. There will be more and more people at home through the end of the year with college students and people on vacation. The Chew isn't the only show to be benefitting from that so are the soaps.

Members DRW50 Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I wonder what Tony Geary will have to say. He loved Guza's writing and GW seemed to continue in that vein for Luke. I don't know what RC would write for him. I'm guessing a lot of comedy capers. Since the show is ending anyway, most likely, Geary will probably stick it out, but I wonder if we'll get any angry interviews. It will be interesting to see if there's any effect on ratings. OLTL's ratings were all over the place in the last year. I think so many have abandoned GH (understandably), even if RC and FV were incredibly brilliant and made Monty and Marland seem like amateurs, it wouldn't help.

Members juppiter Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Probably. And we got the AMC and OLTL announcements in April, so GH doesn't have very long to turn itself around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 I wonder if the rumor about MB being out is true or not. Hmmm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 The Chew's ratings are growing consistently. The Revolution's will do the same because the timing of the show, like the timing for The Chew, is great, linked up with holiday time and New Year. Plus, these shows are dirt cheap.

Members dragonflies Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 ABC Soaps In Depth Official Page UPDATE: An ABC spokesperson reports that GH's current headwriter, Garin Wolf, and co-headwriter Shelly Altman, will remain a part of the show's writing staff, but in a different capacity.

Members OLTL_fan Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Good. There was no reason to fire them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted December 1, 2011 Members Share Posted December 1, 2011 Oh, Tony Geary will piss and moan. But he wanted married Luke [!@#$%^&*] hookers on the side and the murder of Jake. So I don't care what he wants. I will enjoy the massive butthurt from all GH's entrenched airhogs. This show is dead next year and has been dead a long time. Killing off Robin Scorpio would be unthinkable to a regime other than the long-running JFP-Guza institution. I'm just glad some OLTL personnel have jobs.
