My bigger concern is that he'll take back control of OLTL eventually. Watching him very quickly burn through his material on GH - as much as I like a lot of what he has done over the years and now - makes me all the more grateful the show has new blood in charge.

Im sure it could be at some point. I'll never 100% trust ABC.

However, PP were going to have Frank run things and Ron continue OLTL so i doubt anything would change.

It's going to be interesting to see what happens once the anniversary/nostalgia fades away. Ron started out fairly ok IMHO but it really has become a mess. And again, they really need better scriptwriters. Which I feel Ive beaten to death so ...

I think the RC wants to write good stories but ABC is holding the writing team back... Censors and all... If it was broadcast online it was probably would be 50% better. Personally the show is better with the lighter touch. But the stories are dragging too long especially with Connie/Kate and the Relish storyline. That storyline makes me realize how much I hate relish. But the Sonny mob influence need to be fazed out and Sean should not be subjected to being his lackey for heaven sakes this man was in the Military. RC should know better then to do that to his character. Sorry if I am ranting but as an African American male I am appalled at what they are doing to his character. I am enjoying seeing the vets return but I bet it making the morale of the cast is going down that they need to add more vets for storyline purposes. Plus with Frisco he needs to be taught a lesson from Maxie and Felicia for being a deadbeat dad. Let me stop ranting.....

@Vee,

See, I don't understand why Tarly need to have conversations about past loves. That doesn't make them stronger or real, and just because the story may not be original, does not mean its not seriously written. NOTHING FRon does is original EVER. Coversation(s) Tarly could/should have? Does Carly know about Todd's past as a rapist? Is she aware that he unknowingly put his own child on the black market? Is she the least bit curious as to why this man, this very wealthy man, won't get rid of that very visible scar on his face? The biggest problem in this Tarly relationship is Todd because he can hardly be taken serious. As for Carly, how many relationships has she had that were NOT about Sonny (and let's just forget about Tony Jones for a second). This is the first time in forever where Carly's relationship has absolutely nothing to do with the mob! HALLELUJAH! LW and Roger have insane chemistry, and Tarly have a pretty good foundation, but if something is not done about Todd, the audience won't be able to root for them at all! AJ/Sean? Hmmmm

As for Sonny and The Clown? I agree completely! Thursday was the best that rotgut ever coughed up, and again, Sonny made me proud. Finally, he took control of that horrid situation, so the writer does get kudos. FRon will more than likely fire that person. Connie? Yep, too little too late. Bury that bitch alive!

I don't think it's past loves so much as all their bullshit - though I do think Blair, Tea, Jason, Sonny, Jax, etc. should come up. They both are complex characters with pretty serious histories but they act like they've known each other for years.

All I ever notice with Ellie is the huge forehead, to be honest, but then I barely notice her at all since I loathe everyone she shares a majority of her scenes with. I agree she probably was never supposed to die. She has to be sacrificed to make people care about headcase Maxie and the frog both women live for.

Did someone think GH was a radio show? I know someone who constantly says, "I was watching Guiding Light today," when they mean GH, and I have to not correct them, as it's rude, so maybe they know the cake person.

      BTG: June 2025 Discussion Thread

      By Soaplovers · Posted

      Another example of the dysfunctional enmeshment that the Duprees labor under.   Dani freaking out about her father coming to visit as she's in bed with her boy toy totally screamed teenager instead of a grown ass woman that has two adult children.  The whole family needs to be in therapy including Nicole (who probably became a therapist because of the dysfunction within the family). @ranger1rgConsidering the fact that Chelsea has been controlled by a domineering Dani... I would be more surprised if Chelsea wasn't being extra and/or pushy.  She's spent more time being a model, having every move controlled by Dani, and being on social media as opposed to developing interpersonal relationships with her peers.

      I agree. Every time she's on, it reads as "We're writing her in to fulfill her guarantee."

      -- Hayley acted jealous when she walked in on Bill and Ashley. Really? I'm sorry, but they're writing Hayley as ridiculous. -- I'm not crazy about the way they're writing Bill's stroke and recovery/rehab. Doesn't feel like he went through much at all. -- So Shanice gets a promotion to physical therapist. Kind of laughable, but I'll take it to get more Shanice -- as long as her original personality remains intact. This is clearly a change from the original bible because the actress has been so good and popular. -- Chelsea is flat-out embarrassing in her thirst for Madison. In addition, I see no way Dr. Montgomery would be good with going live on Chelsea's IG. -- Why is Dani acting like she never ate at Orphey Gene's before? Are they serious with this? -- Good scenes with Anita, Tracy, and Sharon, and I appreciated Tracy's dialogue referring to "us 4 little colored girls." Nice nod to history. Then they wrecked it with another reference to "Articulettes Strong," which makes me cringe. -- Ever notice the staircase in the Dupree mansion's foyer? I can't get over how narrow those steps look.

      I think Larkin was a very dashing and charismatic figure, but they started way too hot, made the character too unpleasant, and then pulled too far back with the tedious triangle. They also needed to get Reva away from the Lewises at that point rather than tying Kyle to them. They did this somewhat with the suicide attempt and working with Fletcher but not enough. I wonder what Pam Long's plans would have been for Cain. Jerry Lanning was always a mix of sinister and very cold to me, but she must have had some idea for him as she had also used him on Texas.

      Chelsea is a stalker like her mother. She is annoying me big time.

      As you point out,  Courtney seems to be the only logical person if the rumor was told to Zimmer and it's not just something she wrote to spice up the book. It could also be that Zimmer knew about the JC/JS relationship and just assumed that was the reason for her firing. It just reeks of Paul Rauch badmouthing Courtney though. I don't know why he and Lemay had it out for her. @DeeVee

      Rebecca Budig sticks out like a sore thumb as Taylor. She has not added anything to the show or role of Taylor. A horrible recast.

      I hope Dumb Dora loses custody of her kids. Kristina needs to go away. I can't believe she is still roaming around town.

      I can see Kim thinking to herself---why would I be so emotionally invested in a guy who literally looks like he is the slasher in a slasher film?  I think they tried expanding Reva's reach and having her anchor this story, and it doesn't work. I don't think anyone could've really, as Cain is never a compelling figure. It is a hoot seeing a younger Victor Garber though. I'd speculate that Reva and Kyle were popular because the viewers didn't expect Josh back, and they wanted to see Reva happy. Otherwise, I don't get it. He's more controlling than generous. I watched a little of the actress that Long supposedly wanted for the role. She doesn't seem very good. In Texas, she seems to be very similar to Vanessa, and I can't imagine her projecting a more down to earth image.

      I think this is where the show having an older audience comes in handy as that is who is buying these releases. And buying the books, presumably.  I have family who in the last few years have watched the show pretty much every day.
