Members Khan Posted November 18, 2012 Members Share Posted November 18, 2012 You know what might help? Bringing back the actress (forgetting her name) who played Julia Barrett. IIRC, his A.J. and her Julia had a "thing" going for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 20, 2012 Members Share Posted November 20, 2012 Guza at his peak was a far superior writer than Carlivati has ever been, and he had better taste in dialogue/script writers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 He certainly wrote with more depth and nuance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members detroitpiston Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 I miss Guza and hate how budget looking and horrifyingly tacky GH has become since Frank and Ron took over DOOL is the absolute pits right now. Eileen Davidson is the only interesting thing about it and even her story is like watching paint dry. I'm enjoying Y&R a lot now. Oh and Laura Wright >>>>>>>>>>> every other flop female lead in the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 Not to say that I didn't have major issues with Guza, but looking and seeing what the show is reduced to now, I can now look back at him with more objectiveness. Carlivati tries to rely too much on stories and characters that were popular 25 years ago, and believe me, that's going to become problematic in the future once the glow wears off. Guza had issues and one could rightfuly argue he had no use for GH history (neither did Gloria Month, so?), but at least he tried to keep the show moving forward. All I see is pure regression with Carlivati's writing. It's all very superficial and one dimensional. I'm all for using history to propel stories into the future, I just don't think Carlivati is doing it authentically. The characters all feel like cartoons, more so than they did before. Nothing Carlivati has done comes close to Guza's '96 and early '98 stints to me (and yes, I realize those eras had their issues too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DynamiteKiddo Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 I still love Missy Reeves and Jennifer Horton on "Days." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 I don't find current GH the best thing since sliced bread. I'm still bored and the acting is so lackluster it ruins what could be decent scenes.Bringing back everyone from the 80s doesn't mean a damn thing to me and all it's showing is that some people really aren't good actors(Finola Hughes) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 GH missed out greatly by not focusing on the Quartermaines the last decade. I feel like they are the central family of the show, and if they had took the time to reinvest in them (or not completely dismantling them to begin with) the show would/could be in better shape. They have SO much history, and so many branches on that family tree that could have been invested in that just makes me sad at all of the missed opportunities. No other family on GH comes close. Yes, their shtick, with the constant fighting, gets old at times...but even when it gets to that point, I still find myself smiling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 But the central family of the show was the Hardys and we're down to two people related to that family still on canvas. Not to mention it feels like there is less hospital focus than ever and the little focus there is right now is downright juvenile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 GH was never really a show about families though, which is why I guess the Q's stood out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ms. Chandler Quartermaine Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 What's a Hardy? I'm playing...but that's the point, the Quartermaines actually sustained a presence, while the Hardy's drifted off into irrelevance ages ago. And the fact that the Quartermianes actually are apart of the hospital could have really worked in favor of the whole ~hospital~ aspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted November 24, 2012 Members Share Posted November 24, 2012 The Hardy's/Webbers drifting off into irrelevance was the fault of the writers not caring about the history of the show. And most of them are doctors and nurses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
