Even though I enjoy some scenes from the shows, I can't honestly say that I'm enjoying any of the storylines in particular. None of these shows are "Must See TV" for me. Those that I record - Days & Y&R - I have no sense of anticipatory excitement over any of the storylines. And find myself FF thru or forgoing watching the episodes more times than not. I've given up on GH, but I do catch BB when possible, and again, certain scenes are riveting (HT's Katie), but the overall storylines don't compel me to watch the show.

Good for GH! Aside from the Franco silliness (it's the hair color - it makes me want to adjust my tv settings), I'm thoroughly enjoying the show. Silas is far more interesting than John McBain ever was and I really like what I've seen so far with Britt and Nikolas. The Cassadine heir with Faison's child has lots of potential. And Jane Elliot and Maura West sharing scenes is simply wonderful.

Finally someone says something positive. I enjoy the show too. Even though it could be better. That the show could be soooo much worse we all know. I just wish we would see a little less from Franco, Ava, Kiki, Morgan and Michael.

And yes, Maura West is great!

What the show needs is focus.

Sorry, but a show lacking as much substance as GH is really hard [for people who know how great this show can be] to be cheery. Way too much WTF going on! Way too many characters, which makes it IMPOSSIBLE to do any character, romance story any justice. Can it be worse? Absolutely, but we are gradually treading Trassions territory as it is.

Konnie will be out soon, so please tell me where's the story leading to this exit? Not that I care about her because I can't wait til she's gone, but seriously, why are they only taking time (huge amounts of time) to tell FrankenTodd's story?

People complaned about Guza and his pets, but all we see from the same viewers is that "we could use a little less of...". So yeah, please excuse some of us for not liking Craptini's junk!

Do we really need an eppy count for the month of July?

I enjoy the current pets more than the Guza pets. A decade of Sonny, Carly, Jason, courtney and Sam was enough. But that is personal taste i guess. And not to mention that Guza did not had any vets in his cast aside from Tracy and Luke. Tracy now is better used than under Guza.

B&B is on fire. Im hope they can hit that 3.6 mill for that weekly average. They were just shy. It amazes me B&B's long rise in the ratings to to hear the just fired kay Alden? Outregous!!!

B&B truly is the untold story. Was avergaing just 2.7 to 2.9 millions viewers a week and now look at it. Amazing and the climb has not stopped!!

If GH had a decade left - LMAO, you would have Crappy's pets, it's the same thing, so I don't get why this schlock is so good to anyone (although I don't begrudge anyone what pleases them). So yeah, it has to be a preference. At least 10 minutes of each show is dedicated to FrankenTodd, 7 to SilASS and 5 to KaKa. That leaves 15 minutes for everyone else. How is this any different from what Guza did with his 3 pets (and I won't argue that they were featured way too much, but they were GH characters, 2 of them the children/granchildren of legacy characters). And the 15 minutes given to the REAL GH CHARACTERS? If they are not related to FrankenTodd's story, they are discussing him.

Tracy? How is Tracy better used? Is she a sharp business woman making her family business work to honor late parents or is she shrieking and fiending for Luke? No business deals are taking place (YR is really good at this and GH could learn). Tracy and AJ should have teamed to fight off any threat to ELQ. Now, they are periodically tossed in FrankenTodd's house with a few scenes that are quite meaningless. A fight for a business when there are no business dealings at all? I find that hilarious as well!

As for the vets, I'm ok w/out them. But tell me what you think of the stories featuring the vets when they appear every other week?

People loved Jersey Shore too, so try not to read too much into what makes an audience tick.

Sad to see Days fall.. although it wasn't much - the show is still staying pretty steady.. but IMO the show is amazing right now. It's very consistent. I think they really need to add some focus to the younger crowd. Teresa and JJ are great additions, but Will/Sonny/Gabi/Nick need to be driving story and I often feel like they're supporting cast. Same for Abby/Chad. I know we are going to have some shake-ups with the younger cast over the winter/early 2014 but they need to throw T into the mix on on contract... have a Chad recast (if there isn't already one), maybe even give Rory a contract and really give some "A" story to more of the younger cast (Not to say ignore the vets.. but continue to use umbrella storylines to integrate them all together).

    • So I'm seeing cuz the catch-up has been brutal. All I can do (besides look at fashion) is smh. 
    • Wow. What an episode. Deidre truly broke my heart today. Not much else to say. Just an incredible love story ending.    I’m amazed they couldn’t or didn’t try go get either Claire actress while both of her grandfathers are on death’s door. Hope sensing John had passed was a nice heartbreaking touch. The rest of the week is going to be so hard.
    • -- The fashions are at least something to talk about, because we're definitely not getting any story. I mean, this stuff is dreadful. -- I do like how they're dressing Nikki. Its hugely different from before, but I'll take it. -- At least she doesn't look like Ashley, who's dressed like a clinically-depressed Cruella DeVille. -- Nick without a jacket just looks odd. -- I see Mark Grossman again gained about 15 lbs. when he was away on vacation. The sharp cheekbones are gone and the double chin is back. Hate to be mean, but I hope he loses the weight. -- All that talk about all Claire did to plan that "party." Excuse me? There's nothing go on, and outside of some tacky Happy Birthday signage and tablecloths from Kohls, I don't know what they're talking about.

    • You're right, but that also sums up why the show is so unwatchable these days. Any character could go on a Postal-style rampage and it would generate a shrug.
    • I'd be surprised if it was. Money is money. And yeah, Kathy's done all those things but tbh given the current tally for ruinous character choices in EE in recent years I'm kind of numb to it and find hers small potatoes by comparison.
    • Does anyone know the air dates on these first encounters? Nikki meeting Brittany Nikki meeting Amber Victor meeting Deacon
    • I’m up to August 5, 1996. Another change to the opening music. The hollow whooshing sound is gone and they’ve add a soft rock, synthesizer-style sound to this more upbeat version. Ugh - they let Gilly and Griffin kiss before she found out the truth. So gross, what’s the point? And now once the truth has come out, Charles is like “oh yeah, I’ve always known he was your father, no big deal”?  What was all of this for? If he really always knew, he should have had a reaction when Griffin came to town last year, just like Vivian did.  I will say, the acting in the reveal scene was amazing, both actresses killed it. Now Vivian lost her husband, who is leaving her, and her daughter… and she already lost her son. The writers really trashed this entire family for nothing, how sad. She’s now running around town blaming everything on Griffin and trashing his name, but lady, no, it’s all your fault! I think I now just got to Gilly’s last episode (Aug 1). She just announced to the family at dinner that she’s leaving town for good and will not reach back out to her mother. What a terrible ending to this character and the family. Finally found a time I liked Alan. Marah (of course) and Shayne sneak away and go wandering on 5th street alone, but Shayne stays back in the abandoned building, just as they’re about to blow it up. Alan is sweet to Marah and realizes Shayne might still be there, so he runs to the building and tries to stop them from detonating the explosives, but he’s too late… he finally has a heart here haha. Although I guess this is still all his fault.  Watching Josh and Reva react to Shayne’s voice from within the rubble was really moving, great acting across the board here (Annie too). Ok, so Zachary shows up while everyone runs away from the rubble that’s falling, and he steps into it and finds Shayne. So is he like an angel or something supernatural? Because I don’t love supernatural stuff on my soaps unless that’s ‘normal’ for the show.  But Alan does eventually go in with Josh, so he’s risking his life to save Shayne, and that’s great. I was a huge Lucy/A-M fan and loved watching their relationship, but most couples work well when the actors have good chemistry. For me, now that Rick Hearst is gone, the relationship just isn’t working for me, sadly. I feel like Lucy and Zachary have better chemistry now haha. Abby’s mom has returned and she’s just highly frustrating and awful - that’s all. J just mentioned he has a sister - who is that? Unless she’s older and an adult, it’s a bit odd that she’s not around since now both Nola and Quint are in Springfield. She didn’t show at Henry’s funeral either, nor was mentioned. So Roger is now in the loony bin, after losing his court case. I’m side-eyeing Blake on this one. She was completely torn, which was nice to see, but she ultimately sided with Dinah/Hart which annoyed me. But, Bridget continues to win for me - she’s one of my favorites - and she just called out Dinah/Hart on their BS, and I’m here for it. If there were ever a moment for a slap, Dinah deserves one from Bridget. Speaking of slaps, I haven’t seen a single slap in the 18 months I’ve been watching this show!  Does GL just not traditionally do slaps? It’s a soap staple that I enjoy haha. Alex continues to be one of my favorites, likely because I’m such a fan of Dusay, her theatrics and heavy breathing. She keeps referring to Amanda as “Little Miss Madame” and it cracks me up.  Speaking of Amanda, she now just overheard nurses gossiping that Blake is having twins with two different fathers, so she knows the secret! This should get good now that she’s re-entered Ross/Blake’s orbit. Ah, so the A.Spaulding in question that paid Neil Everest off to frame Phillip was Alan-Michael!  Well, Lucy found a check he wrote to Neil, so I’m assuming so… this isn’t that interesting of a storyline though, so hopefully this doesn’t drag on too much longer. Now I just found out that Neil and Alan were cellmates in prison…it keeps going. And finally, Annie just faked a prescription for more pills and she just saw a ‘bad Annie’ image of herself who is encouraging her addiction.  Annie is officially talking to herself and since I know Jeva won’t allow a Josh/Annie relationship to survive, I’m all here for crazy Annie! Whoa! Griffin just got shot while giving a speech on 5th Street.  Curious to see what happens here, even though I’m not a Griffin fan.
