His chemistry with Finola Hughes, Jane Elliott and especially Kelly Monaco has been so strong that I challenge anyone to admit that they fast-forward through his scenes with those actresses, even when they are repetitive.

I'll admit it. I see the same worthless Mick Jagger impression as always from Michael Easton, and I see no chemistry in "How do I know you? How do I know you? How do I know you?" Kelly and Easton only had chemistry in their early Port Charles stories. It was gone by the end of that show, much less a decade later.

Suddenly, Johnny is multi-dimensional, oddly sympathetic, dangerously sexy and infinitely more interesting than any of the other criminals on the GH canvas.

Funny, since "Cartini" clearly want us to hate him.

Speaking of the influx of OLTL characters, where is Skye Quartermaine (Robin Christopher) when we need her? She knows these people from her years in Llanview.

The only one she knows is Todd. Starr was a child and she never knew Mouthbreather McBain. Given that RC slept through the show in recent years I can't imagine how she'd react when she's against non-actors like Easton or Howarth.

Wouldn't it be interesting if Susan Lucci's Erica Kane blew into Port Charles for a day or two, perhaps to do an interview with Crimson editor Kate Howard about the new movie she was going to Hollywood to star in when AMC ended its run. In the interview with Kate, and/or in conversations with Skye and Anna (whom she also knows)

It's so sweet that he thinks RC remembers that Anna was on AMC. Hell, I doubt he even knows Skye was on AMC.

Well I never watched Port Charles never interested me which is perhaps why this appeal Easton seems to hold with some escapes me. He and Kelly to me are no better or different than she and Burton. The only one I ever liked Sam with and saw energy and chemistry with on GH was GV's Lucky.

Has RC ever even taken some writing course? Cuz in my writing course the first rule of story writing was avoid cliches.

No I didnt watch most of GW's material but Carly under Guza has removed herself from the mob as well plenty of times over the years. (that was a big part of the basis for how she and Jax initially ended up) She ALWAYS finds herself back bc she has a connection with Sonny that kicks up. Thats been fairly consistent with her. Half a year of GW writing doesnt change that fact and her current writing isnt out of character for the character. It was GW that got her back with the mob anyway when he started having her gravitate towards Johnny who guess what, is a mobster

Can't continue to blame a writer who left a year ago. This is cartini's filth!

But if you're a Cartini fan, I'll not waste any of your time.

In fact, a blast from All My Children could be just what GH needs. Wouldn't it be interesting if Susan Lucci's Erica Kane blew into Port Charles for a day or two, perhaps to do an interview with Crimson editor Kate Howard about the new movie she was going to Hollywood to star in when AMC ended its run. In the interview with Kate, and/or in conversations with Skye and Anna (whom she also knows) Erica could reveal all kinds of information about what has been happening in Pine Valley these last few months. (Who did J.R. shoot? Did Erica and Jackson break up? Who was the last person Dr. David Hayward miraculously brought back from apparent death?) Lucci is a genuine ABC Daytime icon and one of the most popular women working in television. A guest stint by her on GH could be one of the biggest daytime events of the year.

I don't know why people continue to hang on to the fallacy that turning GH into some kind of soap opera mass grave will work. For every new viewer they get, the show will alienate one they already have plus the new ones are unlikely to stick around because the characters won't be consistent with what they remember and their history on the other show will get crapped upon. Ron can't even keep track of his own stories from month to month.

its not blaming a writer that left a year ago. Im not the one here complaining about Carly's writing, therefore Im not blaming any of them for anything. You are the one that is acting like this isnt conistent with Carly's character and it is as she has been written like this for years. You fail to acknowledge that it was the great GW taht brought Carly back into the mob fold, which she allegedly left for good this last time (as if she hasnt done so a dozen times already)

And oh please, I am not a Cartini fan or apologist. Their GH is FAR from perfect and Im not one of the posters on here who fushed about it as if it is. Carly today is the same Carly she always is.

Ron's basically recycling OLTL scripts anyways LOL

I do find it a little ironic that OLTL, the show that was treated like an ugly/unwanted stepsister of AMC and GH for many years, is now supposed to 'save' GH. I think Ron and Frank are talented, but I think their skills would be better suited to a fluffier soap like Days or BB. Their version of GH is entertaining, but it is not GH.

It's entertaining, but I agree with him there needs to be bolder story choices. They're moving too slow and they don't have time for that. Get ratings up and everything in place, then you can slow down. The stripper story, Lisa Niles and Memphis should've all been written out and replaced with new stories by now. THere is a lot of good here, but still a lot of bad and more of the same.

You know I don't agree with everything he says . No I don't see any explosive chemistry with McBain and Sam but I like that he loves the show and is open to pointing out it's flaws unlike the soap press who've been kissing the asses of the wonder twins. And bravo for him bringing up the point of continuing bad stories. Like he said they wrapped up one bad story within a week but just have to continue these other wretched messes.

That's where I agreed too--as well The thing about Sonny/Carly? Jason is usually we could blame Frons. "Frons loves them so don't blame Cartooni for having to use them." Are the execs even paying attention to GH right now? And the thing about picking up unpopular stories is spot on.

While this is not an excuse, I believe the reason they kept Memphis was just so she could be murdered by Heather which seems obviously where they are going. I mean she's appeared only enough otherwise to make sure we know she's still there...

He seems to be doing that, and then otherwise recycling past stories from GH nobody liked--like he;'s clueless on what else to do...

Yet one more article calling Carly mentally unstable?everyone can't be wrong, and I want to be paid because I've stated this the moment this carjunk began! Wolf moved her forward but The Hacks took her back to the mob loving gutter filth! I don't enjoy her at all!

On point about Sonny, but the writing for Jason is deplorable. I agree with the article, but not about Jason!

As for Cartini knowing GH's history? Nothing could be further from the truth! Bringing in vets does not equate knowing history. These bozos are the worst thing to happen GH!

I loathe them!

See this just reminds me of the people who act like everything in the US was going just great until Obama came along and ruined it. It's not like Cartini are doing a great job, but they inherited a mess. It's not like everything on GH was just peachy, or had been in years, until they came along.

The problem is that the soap press acted like they had saved GH after one episode.

We are not in disagreement here, but why pile goat chit on top of vomit? Wolf's biggest challenge was pacing but he had a good idea of where the characters needed to go. Getting them there was his problem. Wolf's inexperience showed. He had very good intentions, however. The 2 headed clown came in and regressed the characters to retell 2006/7/8. For all the Guza hate, I'm left scratching my head at the Cartini love when they are repeating his work. The only thing that's different is the ridiculously shameful DID story that has an actress running around like a stoned chicken! Cartini has proven that they don't give a damn about GH or its characters. If they did, they would not rerun old garbage biding time till their precious Todd is here.

Nothing that jackass and his boo have done thus far is original, creative or interesting!

ANDREA

They've had time to make some improvements. So far everything is worse and nothing is better.

We've got DID and ambiguous rape. Wonder where we've seen that before? We've got characters whose pasts have been rewritten.

Like the writer of the HP article said, they need to get a move on. Howarth isn't going to save this mess, even if they believe he can walk on water, nor will Easton or Alderson. If they were all that great, why is their show dead and buried?

I'm all for giving your unemployed friends a helping hand, but this is excessive.
