Members Max Posted April 16, 2013 Members Share Posted April 16, 2013 I've been out of the loop for quite some time, but I have noticed that the comments about Cartini are now largely negative (as opposed to the largely positive reception that that got here two years ago). When did the tide start to turn? I'm even more curious about why this attitude shift has occurred. Yes, I know that their productions are deeply flawed, but I don't think that today's GH is any worse than their run at OLTL was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 16, 2013 Members Share Posted April 16, 2013 There was quite a bit of negative comments on here during his last couple of years on OLTL (teen Jessica, Stacy, etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members All My Shadows Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 I was done in March 2010. Up until that point, I could turn my head from their faults and still enjoy episodes of the show, but after that -- various events, firings, storylines, etc -- it all became too much and I just didn't want to make the effort anymore. I gave them chances every few months after that, but I never watched another full episode after the point on through to the finale. And I just don't really care about GH.

Members BingCherry Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 I think the discontent began with some of the 40th anniversary material (especially the misguided "flashbacks" with Natalie and Jared), but I didn't see a total backlash 'til around late-fall '09, which is when Cartini's material seemed to bounce between total insanity and utter boredom.

Members VirginiaHamilton Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 The tide started to turn when the showkiling Guza/bootleg Janet Wood/cryptkeeper Frons stans realized that Cartini wasn't about to coddle them like that wretched regime did with their mob-propping bullshit.

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 And umm when was that? Or do you mean with GH not OLTL? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 Im still pissed that OLTL Killed the Kish story & didnt even give them a send off. That was Frank's call & Ron was PISSED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 While the silly gay marriage stuff IMHO got to be overkill (Dorian coming out so she'll be elected? Wha?) it was awfully handled--and when Kish was gone the show was left with perhaps its worst stuff under Frank and Ron--the Stacy mess, Mitch mess, teen Jessica, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 Come on VH! That's such crap and you know it. Not one week ago, you were calling FRon out for the hacks THEY ARE when you thought Brenda was going under the bus for doing the Spreadeagle for Michael (she's still going under, you know). The eppy had not even aired and you were comparing them to Guza and you were "out this bitch for good". FRon aren't hacks just because we don't like the "writing" for our favorites. They are hacks because they "write" garbage day in and out - a structureless show that has strayed so far from what a soap should be! Keep it real, my friend I was ok with Guza/Phelps and ok with the mob, but I don't miss them; however, in comparison to the current trash, I'd take Guza/Phelps back in a heartbeat! Hell, these mofos have me longing for Reilly! We can never leave out The Resurrection of Gigi Moraco! Lawd!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 Stacy should have stayed alive and Gigi dead & Crystal Hunt return as Stacy. FF can suck it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 FV was around on OLTL long enough for me to hate his vision and I'm one of the few who thought the combo of his OLTL with RC's vision was worse then his with Higley. I was long done with OLTL before it ever got canceled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted April 17, 2013 Members Share Posted April 17, 2013 The only reason ONLY REASON, and I don't say this lightly, that Higley was worse than Ron is because of the Spencer Truman mess that went on for more than a year. Outside of Reilly, Carlivati has been the worst in the industry for me. He's not a writer, and it shows in EVERYTHING he does. I'm beyond disgusted by him!
