It could also mean the aftermath of the Ball as well...

I wonder if they'll also announce a set list of MVPs who'll take the stage.

Either way, I'm looking forward to this - heartfelt corniness and all - and that's something that I never thought that I'd ever say about a GH event in ages.

Bob Guza was not a storyteller and his scriptwriters were also repetitious we counted how many times Sam and Jason's name was repeated by nearly every character in eppys same with Sonny... his stories were dark macabre morose that faltered extremely (for me)

many times they did not have a beginning middle, endf or satisfying close and he dropped stories frequently... not to forget shamefully misogynistic; I realize Frons had his hands all in it but just sayin' IMO Ron is very Guzaesque in many ways.

But I could follow Guza, Ron seems all over the place I just can't get a handle on his writing style. I didn't watch OLTL with him as HW.

I don't mind the logo.

Ron's stories amount to stale camp, laughing at stupid, loud and/or hormonal women, and empty nostalgia. There are no actual stories - they're made up as they go along. He has zero heart as a writer and it's very noticeable in these returns, which look like embarrassed, clueless actors shoved into scenes at random, acting as if they're lost and waiting for the last bus.

GH viewers are fortunate because he hasn't started to dislike the show or its viewers, IMO. When he does, it's made very clear onscreen.

       about it I think Jan is a fine supporting part for a solid daytime vet (probably someone from the P&G soaps), as opposed to someone from the production location who is clearly cheaper. Which seems to govern some casting. I get the rationale, but I would start going through the ATWT/GL, etc. rolodex myself.
    • I dont mind Jan. She's good in the minor capacity she is used. 
    • tbqh I don't care about Jan, I don't care about Ashley and I think Jon Lindstrom as Joey is an acquired taste. Jon is a great actor but certain things are in his zone and then some are not. Some days I find Joey credible and compelling, but the stuff with him hanging around the Golden Corral, grumbling about Doug and bitching at Randy is not amazing. If he had material on par with what MVJ wrote for Ryan/Kevin on GH back in the day it'd be a different story. I do think he has real chemistry with Vanessa, which is in large part due to MVJ clearly molding that character (and hiring an appropriate actor) in the Lucy Coe vein when she reinvented Lucy in the '90s as well. But I am not here to spend 6+ months watching Jon glower a lot (which is what he's doing half the time to carry weak story) and make more vague dire pronouncements while Jen Jacob gets flustered and weepy over "Daddy" or whatever would come of that storyline. Putting them together sounds like a recipe for doom to me. But I may be in the minority on that.
    • I know this will never happen. But... Halle Berry as Dani Dupree(BTG). She would rock this role, it's in her wheelhouse.
    • When I see how bad the Ashley/Derek scenes are, I know there must be a larger purpose and Joey being her father is the thing that makes the most sense.  My take on it is that Ashley knows Joey is her father but doesn't know Joey. Maybe he was there when she was a child or just not around at all but I believe Jan when she says she didn't lie to her daughter about who her father was. Maybe she left him when she discovered his dangerous lifestyle.  I do think they could really jump start the character of Ashley if they hurry and do this. Jan is a great character and her scenes with Ashley have been helpful. This would further integrate Ashley into the canvas and give her something dramatic to do. With her working at the hospital along with Doug, it could lead to complications if she learns Doug is involved with her father. I just need is sooner rather than later because Derek is tanking her character. I need a distraction.

    • The stories are awful. I'm not enjoying any of them. All I'm left with is Sally in a plastic dress.
