GH50: Discussion for the month of July...

[RoseVioletDaisy]

Ron definitely thinks this is wonderful, amazing, soapy-goodness. Frank? I honestly don't know but I sense that you're right. If the show's under budget, he'll go along with almost anything. That's his biggest weakness as an EP IMO. I'm genuinely curious what Carlivati might be like if he worked under an EP with a strong vision and commitment to quality who kept him on a very tight leash.

This [!@#$%^&*] is rancid.

If they don't fire RC/FV. Just can GH.

[dragonflies]

the SK rumor isn't true.

JG shot it down like nothing lol

damn why is Kemo playing her scenes like Danny is with a baby sitter, Sam acts like she couldn't care less

[AdelaideCate007]

I can tell you that most of the decisions are on Frank. Ron gets a lot of flack and heat for things beyond his control.

I loved Endgame. If you just watch it the way you would a sci-fi B movie from the 1950s it is fun. My favorite Lucky scene of all time was with Jacob Young when he was brainwashed and struggling to not inject Luke with the poison. I also like the scene wIthh LL2 where Liz used her love to speak to Lucky from a great distance. It reminded me of when Luke was dangling from the Sky City in Empire Stikes Back and said "Leia...hear me.. Leia...." That is what Liz was doing and Lucky heard!

Plus the whole resurrection scene was fun, CT and RKK were good, and I can find nothing wrong with a struggle to the death over a bottomless pit.

Those two need to stay far away from OLTL

There probably is, but no one hires them

[Soapsuds]

Well we know Ron still has OLTL on his mind especially with his reaction to Oprah airing the show on her network. I'm sure he'd kill to do both shows or leave GH for OLTL.

[cassadine1991]

Can he move the hell on, OLTL certainly did

[RoseVioletDaisy]

Honestly, his obsession with OLTL is absolutely pathological at this point. He has a steady job and OLTL is up and running again. He needs to just be grateful for both things and move on with his life.

[dragonflies]

I think RC is just pissed OLTL has done so well without him as HW

[TeamEric]

I enjoyed Endgame except for JY's horrid acting. It reminded me of the Ice princess caper, that sort of we know it's a fiendish crazy plot that was just pure fun.

Today's GH isn't fun. It reminds me of Ron in 2009 when he went off the rails on OLTL and turned it into a parody of a soap. He did that with that horrid Stacy bag of blood story and then Dorian faking being a lesbian to get elected. Ugh.

[rhinohide]

I don't think so. I think he is eagerly forging ahead in the transformation of GH into his vision and he thinks it's fabulous. I do think he uses the writing as a tool to take potshots at the actors who messed with his plans by leaving, and PP who got in his way to creating this hybrid he wanted, and the fans who don't like what he's doing. He's a petty little immature brat with a lot of power.

But to be fair, as I so rarely am where this idiot is concerned, he's not that different than any GH writer who preceded him. They all transformed the show dramatically. Into their own vision. It's just that his vision sucks. And his execution is a mess.

But Silas called Sam sweetheart today. And Carly saved the day and will surely talk Jason down tomorrow and new soulmates are born. GH will bear no resemblance to its former self in a year. But it's not the first time it's happened. It's probably the last though.

[Cheap21]

I don't know if anyone asked this but how the hell did Franco ride in a motorcycle with a baby? Like seriously, WTF?

[greens_dupres]

Agree with all of this. I wish someone/anyone could have reigned him in before this Franco madness got out of control. Never in my wildest dreams when GH was pretty good back in Jan/February and news of the PP dispute broke did I think this is where we would end up.
