GH 50: Discussion for the Month of April - May 3, 2013

Me too! They are clearly talentless!

So far (dislclaimer - after 4 weeks), I think Kate Hall is the best scriptwriter, and Katherine Schock is also quite good, while Elizabeth Page and Scott Sickles are uneven.

Great point, Cheap21, that Bobbie should have mentioned her granddaughter and they could have said she'd already said goodbye in person.

Kate Hall often did the best script work on AMC. I haven't paid as much attention to script writers at GH than I did at AMC (and OLTL) so can't really speak about her work there, but your ranking of her wouldn't surprise me. Elizabeth Page briefly co-HW with Nixon AMC in 1999 when she returned to clean up McTavish's 1998 mess--but I believe pretty quickly she was replaced (disastrously) with Jean Passanante... Who is on GH's writing team too, of course.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

That's the only one I really like. Kate Hall. The days she writes I can tell the difference.

[R Sinclair]

Kate Hall was one of All My Children's better scriptwriters. She's the daughter of Courtney Simon, a legendary soap scriptwriter in her own right and one of the team leaders during the 2007 writer's strike.

However, and this is no shade to Kate Hall, being the best on THIS team after THE BEST have left is nothing to brag about. Replacing the likes of Michele Val Jean, Mary Sue Price and even Karen Harris... with the likes of a Katherine Shock, Suzanne Flynn and Scott Sickles is just embarrassing.

[R Sinclair]

Truth = Told!

[ChitHappens]

lol.. Love it!

[juppiter]

I have this on in the background on mute.... RKK has aged very well. Silver fox. Tyler Christopher has not aged well. Yikes. ETA: Sean Kanan looks great as well.

[tina m]

I don't know much about anything but wow, Tyler Christopher looked SO annoyed in those scenes with Katie.

[EricMontreal22]

LOL wait, wasn't he MEANT to look annoyed? I mean it was dumb, but I thought that was acting (though it may have been more...)

[juppiter]

Oooh but then I saw him all wet with his shirt off and he didn't look so bad. Of course this is 3 beers later... LOL.

Kate Hall penned one of the last great lines I heard on AMC, although Darnell Williams probably ad-libbed it.

[katie_9918]

I've never found TC attractive in any way.

[dragonflies]

Yeah he was supposed too, Katie was playing someone from a tabloid trying to get the scoop and snuck into Nik's hospital room posing as a doctor

[R Sinclair]

The black folks line?
