I can't even be mad at the story/plotting that's currently going on right now. Guza's "arcs" would last all of a week. However, I'm pissed off at the DOWNGRADED quality of the scene intentions and script writing under Carlivati. Guza was smart enough to hire writers who padded and shined his crap into gold. Carlivati's dumb enough to hire writers who take no measures whatsoever to disguise the holes and flaws in the story. The story sucks, the scenes suck and the language sucks. The fact that no one on staff is either saying (or being heard) that "saying RELISH 95 times in 2 minutes is HORRIBLE" is astonishing to me.

RS, so many of us have said our peace in so many different ways on this disjointed mess fka General Hospital, but I don't think anyone has so completely hit THE nail as succinctly as you did here. It does not get better than this! This is simply beautiful!

I am having a hard time watching GH anymore. The show jumps all over the place. The storylines are horrible. I liked the vampire storyline...but, it ended so badly. (Thanks PP), and scenes are being cut out explaining why a character said this, or is that....all for more airtime for the 2 little pets RC loves so much (Sabrina and Kate/Connie). Also, why do we need flashbacks from yesterday's episode! The only way I like seeing that done is at the beginning of the show like they used to do on all ABC soaps in the late 90s early 00s. (Remember the "previously on....AMC/OLTL/GH") things before the opening?

RC's overuse of flashbacks from a show that aired the day before seems a little insulting.

I hate to say this. Sometimes, I want Guza back. But, without the mob junk and the vet killing. At least his stories were good.

Most of them were better than this crap.

We're setting here 3 weeks from the anniversary. And, we are watching [!@#$%^&*] about Connie, Sabrina's schoolgirl crush, and relish making 101. We get one day a week of a good storyline. And, then it's back to [!@#$%^&*].

Agreed. Guza's crap didn't always interest me but I at least saw good scriptwriting, lighting (maybe a little too dark but the show looked much better then, IMHO) and some sort of focus.

That said ... can we not have Guza OR Carlivati. LOL.

I wish Wolfe had worked out better. I really do.

I'm watching the Guza era episodes on Soapnet at night and they are more interesting than this crap.

If we could get a writer, who had the storytelling ability like Guza, but honored veteran characters and brought them back/didn't kill them off like RC. We'd be set.

I thought Wolfe was boring. His GH worked better than an Ambien to get me to sleep.

      I think Cheryl was essentially replaced by Josie, and it seems likely that Lemay wanted to bring the Frames back into the picture and for a variety of reasons that it would be McKinnons who would make way for them. Cheryl didn't really get many layers -- she was pretty and kind and sweet and faded into the background so that Scott could participate in the AIDS storyline with Dawn. Looking at the AWHP, other than (not very) shockingly being in love with her mother's adopted son Scott, Cheryl apparently went out with Sam and flirted with much-too-old-for-her John Hudson and MJ's ex-boyfriend/pimp Chad. I know MJ told Mary that she had been a prostitute, but did she tell Cheryl and did she tell anyone about Chad's pimping?

      I feel the same way about Melissa Reeves' Jennifer. She just makes the show feel like home by her presence alone. I am perfectly okay with them coming in every once and awhile, which probably fits Reeves' schedule better anyway. They're connections to Salem are still there: JJ, the grandkids, Jack still owning half of The Spectator ... they're perfect recurring characters.

      Hahaha. Jean Hackney, Angelica Nero, and the Falcon Crest henchwomen were all straight out of a James Bond movie.

      My hunch is what you've described. JFP is likely back working on transitioning the show to a new studio and embracing new technology for its production model.

      The woman who was the co-chair of Latinas for Trump is now complaining about his targeting immigrants that she thought were "safe." I also read a puff piece from yet another "insider" journalist who lives to normalize fascists - this one with a tech bro who was venting off the record because he thought voting for Trump was cool and would show up the Democrats and maybe we'd get Greenland, but now he's getting upset.  These people still support Trump, and Republicans, they just want to make sure they get credit for being respectable. And they will get it.

      I really do wish someone could. Just a few characters in very simple backdrops, with very real problems that are just a little larger than life, like the '50s and '60s. All the characters having a level of dignity or respect. And their inner lives are what dominate the story, even if there are outside forces at play.

      It's a lesson to never be loyal because once your use is up, you're shown the door. MSW was the only bright spot for CBS for awhile, and once they were back on top... they promptly sabotaged the show as a repayment for all that the show had done for the network.

      The show made a mistake in not bringing in more McKinnon kids, specifically bringing back Ben. Kathleen was leaving, and while I like you am very fond of Sally Spencer as MJ, that didn't seem to be a common view. They also decimated the character in a truly sick storyline. So that just left Cheryl.

      Between Gwen and Cat, the show often seems to side with those who cause lots of cruelty to Jack and Jennifer. I am half-surprised that the show hasn't brought Peter Blake back for more of the same.  I don't really know if there is a purpose for them in Salem now, but I do feel a sense of stability and rightness when Melissa Reeves is back in the role of Jennifer and back in the Horton house, in spite of...well, a lot of offcamera stuff we all know perfectly well.

      I like to call her an FC-reject character
