It's time to wake up over at GH. Shoving the 3 Livers down everyone's throat is not working. Time for a new plan. How about focusing more on GH characters?!? Maybe those GH vets characters that brought UP the ratings during the anniversary.

The anniversay was weak, and the LV3 are only part of the problem. GH is poorly written and poorly produced. It's camp with too many unrecognizable people. GH had its moments in the past, but it was never a campy mess. I don't care how many vets you toss onscreen in one day, that won't solve the problem, and that problem is Craptini. They are completely inept, and you only notice it now because the vets aren't on. GH has been a disjointed trainwreck for a year and a 1/2 but many accepted it because of the vets. No improvements have been made, but you'd be surprised at what you are willing to accept when someone you like is onscreen.

The vets hiding the sh!t is no different from Roger Howarth fans thinking any dreck is worth it if we get to see him onscreen. The bottom line is that Ron and Frank need to go!

I know people like to throw around the phrase "Passions territory" but I think that between the Lifer mess and those ratings, GH truly is in Passions territory. It's funny when you think that a few months ago DAYS looked doomed while some people were just positive GH would hit 3 million.

Ann nice to see you. I agree with the opinions here. GH has been on a decline since Feb. His stories seem to go no where.

Don't forget the Ouija board.

But as you said, a few months ago people were expecting it to hit 3 million. May a few months from now it will be. I loathe Cartini and hate the LV3 being on GH and I delight in any disaster that befalls the show, so I'm not usually the voice of encouragement. But I think this too shall pass and this is the reflection of the initial hit GH took when they brought back the lv3. I already see more people on twitter and on the boards coming around and I think the general audience is even more forgiving than most onliners. Cartini and their pets will power through, stay the course, and I doubt GH looks anything like it once did a year from now. But it's not the first time such a transformation was forced upon the show and was met with resistance. And yet somehow the show survived. Until I hear there are projects out there being developed and tested, I am going to assume GH is going to survive. I hate it.

Of course it will pass because WHILE the LV3 are eating the show whole, Crappy will toss a few vets in as a distraction with no real stories, and all will be right with the world. The "writing" will still be disjointed and the production values will still be for the dogs, but the vets will be on.

Sigh...

      I hope this played better than it sounds, because I'm imagining two separate scenes (the attack by Arnie, and later Charles getting shot). In my mind, it should have been a fluid single sequence. I wonder if or how often "bastard" was uttered in this scene. Fare thee well, Christopher Reeve. I've said it before, but pop culture's gain was daytime's definite loss. Imagine seeing HIM day after day, year after year, decade after decade, conceivably until they stopped producing soaps in NYC.   Well, that answers my "bastard" question. Good lord, the roads of Rosehill are packed with high-strung drivers and/or pedestrians. More sequences that I hope played better than they sound.

      I think Ben had already left while under Marland and only returned briefly to reconcile with Eve. The whole thing confuses me as I thought for a long time that Eve left the show to go be with him and that was when they reconciled, but it seems like he returned, they got back together, then he left and maybe they were still together until she left to join him? I have no idea.  It does seem like the interim writers were using some characters like Justin and Helena who were quickly dumped under Kobe/Long, which is a shame. Helena is one of those characters who likely always had a shelf life but Rose Alaio was such a vibrant screen presence, if Kobe/Long had just been patient, she likely would have fit in well in the Reva era.

      Also, the lawsuit story was not the right story to bring Naomi and Bill into a court battle since those types of lawsuits are usually resolved via settlements.

      I know that Sara did eventually become Carrie's therapist, but I was curious if the show had her make comments regarding Carrie's stunts of making it seem as though Justin was cheating on Jackie.  Given that Justin cheated on Sara with both Jackie and Brandy, I wondered if it was wise of her to counsel Carrie given the conflict of interest involved. @DRW50I think once Adam/Sara end up married.. Marland didn't see any reason to explore Sara's personal life after the actor playing Adam was released.  I know that Sara lasts until at least Christmas 1982 on the show.. but I don't think she ended up staying on for very long into 1983. The period between Marland quitting and Pam Long starting was the perfect time to clean house on characters that had outgrown their usefulness  (i.e. Ben, Evie, Sara, Jennifer, Morgan).. and tying up stories started by Marland that were too complex (Mona Enright, Mark/Jennifer/Amanda triangle).

      Unpopular opinion:  The focus on the soap opera tropes over the mysteries and crimes was partly what did the show in.  Also, featuring characters not involved in the legal, police, and criminal elements also hurt the show and took away what made it unique. Featuring characters like Jody, Raven, Sky, etc hurt the show long term.  The show ABCified starting in 1976/1977 and then went through a youthification period starting in 1981.

      I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.

      It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.

      There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
