Isn't JFP's background in musical direction, hence her penchant for montages over music going back to her SB days?

She was once the musical director for GH in the early 80's, and then had the same position at Santa Barbara before she worked her way up to the EP role.

Funny enough, her first soap role was as a production assistant at GL in the late 70's before she went over to GH's music department. Of course, years later, she would Executive Produce both shows.

The recent remote reminded of the 80's with Felicia and Frisco and that darn carnival...lol...dont ask why it does...lol....

Better that, I guess, than...

^^That was better produced and directed than anything Cartini has ever done.

I know JFP rightfully has her detractors, but she produced (from a visual aspect and certainly once the show made the switch to HD under her reign) a much better looking and directed show. Her production instincts are far more advanced than Valentini's.

Was watching The Soup a few hours ago and saw that the action sequence topped off by John's roll and shoot was the clip of the week.

What do you expect from someone who was trained by Paul Rauch?

And there you have it.

Reminds me of when Passions used to be clip of the week all the time and was constantly on Best Week Ever.

PASSIONS. "The Soup." "Best Week Ever."

Good to know Frank and Ron have put GH in such damn fine company.

At one point they would have Charles Divins make guest appearances for the Chad is not gay segments.

I think this just made me miss Passions.

I've seen bits and pieces of it...but so far I think

Cartini>GuzaJFP

Cartini are hacks but their GH is miles better than GuzaJFP

Well said Ron

It was??? is that why most GH'ers think the Carnival stuff was a joke and there really wasn't anything special about it LOL

Must. Find. That.

I'm not judging this show based on anything other than how I feel about what I'm currently watching. What Guza/Phelps did, what Guza & Pratt/Phelps did... What McTavish/Phelps did... what Guza/Riche did... It has nothing to do with what's happening on my screen right here, right now. I am not going to be pigeonholed into the incredibly simple minded idea that "If you think Cartini = Bad then you automatically must think Guza/JFP = Good"

No.

I think Cartini = Clowns because they brought Jerry Jax back from the dead for 8 weeks of a pointless storyline, that concluded with everyone in town getting cured by dancing and kissing in the rain. No one died, except an invisible character (The Aussie Three excluded because Ewen was shot to death and the Jacks boys ostensibly blew up). For what seems like 3 weeks, everyone was depicted to not be affected by this pathogen at all -- except a couple of fainting spells, a few throwaway lines about skyrocketing fevers and the times when the prop/makeup people actually remembered to make the people look sweaty. However, for the most part, for a town of dying people, everyone was running around town like they ingested a bunch of espresso instead of a fast acting, debilitating pathogen. We even got to watch Sam take out the time to tell us all a cute little fairy tale, which, to me, was a kick in the face to the JaSam fans who have been jerked around enough this past year.

Oh! And why did Jerry do ALL of this again? Because he needed $88 million for some medical treatment? EIGHTY EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS FOR MEDICAL TREATMENT?!! On what planet does anyone charge that much? What the hell would they be using on Jerry? Medical equipment made of precious metals?

Hey, look. Love what you love, enjoy what you enjoy. I just hate the blatant attempts at manipulation I can see coming from a mile away. So much piled onto the surface to disguise the incredible lack of substance. I sincerely think these two are pandering, doing everything they "think" is GH by mimicking what's been done in the past. Unfortunately, they're mimicking the location shoots, the gun play, the explosions, the campiness... but ignoring the characters and genuine emotional underpinning of the story.

RS,

One question, would Jax not have given his brother $88mil? He has it to spare, which is why this is even more pathetic.

The show feels like a very bad fanfic.

I really could care less about the Jason/Sam fans. That couple helped annihilate this show. As did Steve Burton, so good riddance.
