For once we agree. The heart and soul of OLTL lives on. I don't think for a second RankenFron think these actors or their former characters are the heart and soul of OLTL. And they really have enough problems, they shouldn't be wasting valuable screentime taking pot shots at a show they damaged. Gtfoverit.

From fans of the current GH to non fans, nearly everyone I know seems to feel the canvas is probably too large right now anyway. Concentrate on that. Don't get me wrong--I love a soap that's rich in recurring characters and a sense of community they bring--but that's not the same as introducing a character or bringing back a fave character, putting them in an instant story, and then featuring it every ten episodes.

I think one reason is Frank is much more careful about his public persona (frankly how I think a soap exec or HW--love or hate their work, should be.) Both in interviews but especially since he doesn't tweet the way Ron does. I am having a hard time thinking of any TV show exec who has behaved that way *while writing the show* (I can think of ones who complained about fan comments long after their time at a show, but for whatever reason that seems less childish to me.)

How convenient that now that she is done with her party, Lucy can find time to give a damn about Rafe.

Does anyone even give a damn about this new Connie?

So what's the status on Stavros? Is he dead again, prison...? This could have had potential but what an awful return

Ellie is annoying me again. She needs to mind her damn business

Not a fan of him but I like Spinelli's friendship with Sam. That work well together. BTW, Danny was super cute

LOL at all the digs, Heather got in when she was going off on Spinelli

I thought if anyone enjoyed this slipshod "writing" for this clown, it'd be you. TIIC backed into Connie being the host, something she always was, but before that, she was this infuriating rape joke sluggette taking over Kate's life. In any event, the noncharacter is not needed on GH. However, she's a FRon pet, so we are stuck with her. Hope Carly doesn't share scenes with her too often. I'd be depressed if I were forced to watch that POS!

It's absolutely insane! Why not just keep Brenda (I can't believe I just typed that)?

Listening to that clown bitch give a 30 second monologue on mental illness was painful when the whole thing has been laughable from the word go! What's the backstory again?

I can't really blame her. I'd pick a party over that whiny waste of space in a heartbeat.

This cast is way too bloated. I'm happy this canvas consists of more than Sonny, Jason, Sam and the Horse, but there are just way too many people all over the place involved in way too much.

Girl, I didn't give a damn about the old one so I definitely don't give two craps and a biscuit about this one.

    • The actor who plays Martin has been teasing that nobody has guessed Martin's secret. I love that for things like that and the June story we have no idea. I feel like if we didn't have the day ahead feeds Anita's reveal would've been shocking as well. I love that they aren't going the obvious route with these stories. 
    • I tried following the news in Los Angeles at https://laist.com (independent public radio and news) They had up-to-the minute accurate info during the wildfires in January. There's no video, no impact to my mind as to what's happening. Trying other outlets, to get the truth, but it's hard.  
    • That's a bit murky since that happened during a writers' strike. Assuming Kristen Marie had a 2-year contract she left about when her contract would have expired and Sharlene and Josie showed up right before that. Lemay was officially credited as HW from September 1988 but it seems very probable that his anticipated tenure influenced events that happened during the strike which started in April. 
    • I've seen so many posters over the years who are bright, creative, well-versed in soap history, and who care deeply about the integrity of the genre. I'd put the shows' chances in their hands a lot faster than I would allow any of the "usual suspects" to take control of the dramas they've already helped decimate. When I returned to university in the 1980s, I created a bible for a new soap and presented it in my screenwriting class. It was in reaction to how badly I saw the network shows being butchered at the time. The creative process was thrilling; a total joy, and I still smile when I remember the positive feedback I received from the professor and my fellow students. I was used to seeing written commentary from professors on my work. This one wrote me a long, complimentary note on the final page of the bible, but also graded it 97%, A+. I was beaming ear to ear for days!

    • Thanks. I do wonder if Rose was meant to be more given the caliber of actress they hired. I remembered Sara and Peggy staying longer as they were still on when Soapnet started their repeats. I wonder if that was part of the reason they brought Jake's brother in. 
    • Speculation about Missy Reeves' potential evolution on basic civil rights doesn’t change my opinion of her. My view is shaped entirely by her public social media presence—which I find unpalatable—and I have no interest in learning more beyond that. I simply liked Jennifer’s hair and dress. That’s as far as my admiration goes.

    • Cheryl was gone before Lemay came back but I agree with your thinking that he would rather a character from a family he introduced to the show than a family he did not originate.  I remember reading somewhere in the early 90's probably after DS left as writer, their was an either a writer or a producer who made a comment that their intent was bring the McKinnon family back to AW.  Would have made sense for the newer viewers from the 80's.  Much like Lemay's attempt to bring the Frames back from his writing in the 70's in his 1988 return
    • DePriest left in January 1988. According to the AWHP, Rose last appeared nearly a year before in February 1987 while both Sara and Peggy appeared as late as October 1987.
    • Annie was not brought in as an antagonist for Reva. Reva wasn’t even on the canvas when Annie first appeared in late 1994. 
    • The speculation……….very entertaining.
