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.

    • -- Laura to Sonny: "I will always love and respect you." GAG ME. This stuff doesn't lead me to respect Sonny more, but to respecting Laura less. -- Carly being brought into the Gio/Brook Lynn story by Lulu. GAG ME. Why does Carly have to be a part of every damn story on this show?
    • This episode was probably the most we've ever seen of Jan.. and it took long enough. The phone conversation between Jan/Ashley also shed light on their backstory.. and I think it explains why Ashley seems to live in a dreamworld and why she's having difficulties with living with Derek.  Derek could be doing everything right and Ashley would still have a problem because she was an only child, didn't see her mother model positive male/female interactions, and sounds as if she was alone a lot of the time. Nicole is modeling healthy human behavior and she would be smart not to listen to Dani's advice... well intentioned as it is. Eva is the character you root for because she's suffering the consequences of her actions.  And if I were Eva, I wouldn't want to be part of the Dupree world.   I'm hoping the Doug/Joey scenes today is signaling that we're finally moving to the next stage of this story... Doug either asking Vanessa for the money, or letting Joey have dibs on Vanessa's business books, etc.   And Joey finally showing his true colors makes me think we might be approaching that next stage of this story.
    • Lord have mercy!!! Not SilkPress vs Eva at Oprhany Gene for everyone to see!!!! Though I loved Vernon shading SilkPress. I continue to love all this fallout.   Is THAT Joey's endgame?
    • WAIT!!?  You don't want to know CM's workout secrets?  And a recap of his insta feed?  What's wrong with you?   Anyhow, today's show had good character moments.  I feel like Sonny/Laura brought it down.  I really like Tracey and Jason scenes so I think I am a weirdo.  Carly/Lulu were actually pretty good as well, but Carly's dress was some sort of bondage/leather type situation?  It was a strange wardrobe choice lol.
    • Oh God When are we gonna see this on BTG?
    • Yeah, I don't really love Felicity being used to push the Chad/Cat agenda.  I don't get the question on Xander's behavior either.  He was wrong and offensive. I like Xander.  I think Paul Telfer is great.  If Marlena did the same thing I would say she's wrong too.  Characters are imperfect and that's fine.  
    • Vanessa told Joey that her best friend had cheated and has a surprise daughter.  Joey said the same had happened to him.  I wasn't sure if Joey was saying he has an adult out-of-wedlock child?
    • Interesting. I definitely think that it's possible that Jan could be a former lover of Joey's from back in the day, maybe back when he was still married. I won't be surprised if it comes out at some point that Jan used to be an escort or something. 
    • Quick question, How are you guys making time to watch all these soaps? I consider myself a pretty organized person, but since I have committed to watching more of the older soaps. I feel all over the place, and can not figure out a schedule that seems to work.  How are you all doing it?   Thanks. I will check that out.
    • Oh, poor Henry had to wait for the grave to finally come "out"! The whole things was McTavish plot dictated so that Hart could have money to pull off his scam of Roger later. The fortune is totally forgotten later. Which reminds me WHY did they fire Hilliard who actually could kinda pass for a midwestern farm boy..from JOISEY Grillo? AM and Lucy's wedding has got to be the weirdest wedding up to that point and really exemplified the McLaiby cheesy run. Universal Studios? And the Spauldings shut the place down for the wedding that only involves 6 people??? Its not even that weird that Bridget and David arent there...they didn't even invite AM's Mom or Grandfather...
