I don't care about Hope, I just care that they had to do some stunt death for a child for no apparent reason other than more of Michael making doe eyes. If your character is so destroyed that random kids need to die for people to feel sympathy for you, then it's time to go. It also gives the idea that RC just has no real stories to tell.

So, we've had explosions, car crashes, gunplay and three deaths all in five episodes. Tell me, again, Daytime Confidential, why RC and Valentini are godsends when it feels like Guza and Phelps have simply come back from vacation?

A child we met five minutes ago. I have no connection to these dead people.

As a OLTL fan I find this disrespectful. I HATED when ATWT killed off several MAJOR Another World characters and I never watched that show! It's so unfair to the fans of that show. Why not just send these characters back to their original town when the story ends? It's not like you're going to have a big, splashy AW/OLTL funeral for them or anything. In this case we know at least Hope will be alive, but how long will we wait to find out? If it's a long time, then I don't wanna watch Starr grieving or falling in love with Michael instantly. There is also NO WAY she'd stay in Port Charles when her huge family is in Llanview. She's not even 21 yet.

On OLTL Carlivati killed all of Jessica and Natalie's love interests (and both of Jess' baby daddies) and now Starr's daughter AND baby daddy? Just in the context of GH, we had to deal with Jake last year and this is just as bad IMO. We watched Starr grow up and this is the daughter of an important family. Nobody wants to watch a child die, let alone repeatedly in a silly story. I don't care that she may eventually be alive.

I was feeling confident, but I was still worried about Carlivati's take on GH. I now see I had reason to worry. I know many were worried he'd turn it into OLTL-lite, but I figured it would be a different kind of stupidity and I was right.

    • Right. Literally for decades, soaps mesmerized their audiences with tales of romance, family conflict, class struggles, and recognizable interpersonal-relationship sagas. We didn't need relentless, heavy violence. We didn't need clones, mad scientists, extra-terrestrials and demon possessions. We didn't need gaggles of plastic himbos and bimbos pushing beloved vets off-screen. We only needed to see people whom we cared about, and the intelligent, moving progression of their lives. Flashy sets, gaudy gimmicks, and high-falutin' hairdos be damned. The characters and the words were important.
    • Absolutely! Brad should've simply moved on from Lunacy. There's no point of freeing her, if you're not going to at least make an attempt at redemption or incorporating her into the fold. It happened with Quinn, who committed quite a few felonies before become the Forrester Matriarch.  Heck, keep Lunacy in prison and have Poppy/Finn discover that she gave birth to twins - 'Sunny' could've come on with a clean slate and still had Sheila/Finn and all the other drama. It certainly couldn't have been worse than what we've witnessed with the destruction of $B.    
    • I would enjoy it if Swan popped up on BTG as an old one time friend/mentor of Anita’s for a cameo. This is just

    • I had totally forgotten that Courtney story. I see Burton was already phoning it in by that point.
    • omg I completely missed that, but now when I see it typed here in your post, it's obvious icky cringe. So now I just checked and Tomas said that -- on May 27 that he likes the author Carl Ivati.  He said it with sort of an accent, so I didn't catch the stupid joke or think about the spelling.   I remember when that aired, that I actually said to myself at the time, "I wonder if that's a Latin American author, and I will have to google him later." And now I see your post, and I see. Well that's cringe, and I feel stupid to have fallen for it.

    • There's a lot you don't need if you have the writing.  You don't even need large casts!  You could make do with a cast of 12-18 actors if the writing is there.
    • Thank you. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with sleeping around if your spouse actually knows about it. She’s just a cheating slut.
    • OMG...Robert Mandan! And Donna Mills is a child. I keep hoping for more of early Ross/Vanessa.
    • I get your point, but I also know that if the roles were reversed -- if a man were screwing around on a woman this way -- everyone would be all "All with his head!" When I say Vanessa needs therapy, I'm actually being kind, because I could begin and end with the fact that she's a cheating slut.
