GH50: November 2013 Discussion

Ron is pulling all of this out of his ass in a desperate attempt to make Franco work (and it won't work, just like the DVDs and brain tumor didn't work). He had to make Kiki Silas's daughter instead of Franco's so she wouldn't be a Quartermaine and could date Michael. No need to do that if the big plan was for him to be Franco Baldwin and not a Quartermaine all along. Ron is making sh!t up as he goes, as usual.

Those two have no chemistry and Bryan Craig is so overhyped in looks and acting.

I hate that. It's not so bad right now but early this year I constantly saw people saying Y&R and DAYS need to be more like GH and using examples from GH like stunt casting among other things that those soaps had done before and been called out on.

I, too, believe FrankenTodd should have stayed a Q because if he's a keeper [and of course he is], there is more story. But again, there is no interest in the Qs, so let's have some fun and change his paternity. The most ridiculous, if that can even be pinpointed, is that you uproot the life of a character that they really put nowhere. This is what you do when someone has put down roots and has grown to love and be a member of a family, then you drop the bomb that they really aren't family. What we go? FrankenTodd with no ties to anything so let's give him a new family even though we did absolutely nothing with the old one. I just don't see how anyone [Carl and a few others] think this happened because of fan backlash. What backlash for a family that has been tossed aside like dog sh!t? Heather and Scotty as FrankenTodd's parent's makes him even less significant!

Of course they are pulling this out of their asses. AJ is still not onscreen, yet FrankenTodd is in a new story with a different family? Guess I'm not hip enough to appreciate this crap!

And talk about douchesnozzles:

OMG, they just gave Franco the same storyline he had on OLTL. I cant with this nonsense

Kiki says Ava ruined Morgan's wife. Bitch, STFU. She and Michael were so insufferable today. Arguing on the pier. Someone's gonna fall in. I hope its this dumb ass bitch

Michael was absolutely more tolerable in AJ's orbit.

This episode has been just painful. It's proving what a trainwreck this show is. Yelling does not equal good acting.

And this Todd/Carly garbage. What are they, 15? I hate how Ron traps the adults in this insane and juvenile quadrangles and triangles.

The bad part is, I really should actually give a crap that Morgan betrayed Sonny but the writing just isn't there. It's all falling so flat.

Whoever said the Robin returns momentum was killed, it sure as hell was. I really don't even care at this point if Robin ever gets back home. And how long are they going to keep Robert and Anna locked up and OFF-SCREEN. Oh, are they are vacation too?

And I love how moRon sidesteps EVERY question. I also hate the kiss-ass questions. He's not the messiah, people. There's such a lack in true quality that folks are just blindly ignoring because Ron's writing his own fanfiction. "On paper" I'd love him too. He's brought back vets, he uses people over 40, Jason's thankfully gone ... but then he props his favorites, is a bitter bitch on Twitter, refuses to accept any criticism and it's those kiss-assy questions are why he will never own up to the crap he tries to pull.

I'm also tired of this "rotational story" BS. The cast is too big, you don't have enough money, so that's why we go weeks without seeing someone. You probably block-tape (is that what it's called? sorry!) people, which explains the horrible lack of flow.

Sigh. Frank and Ron could be so much better. They really have the potential if they quit the BS and if Ron takes it seriously and not some fanboi given the reigns.

I also made the mistake of reading the comments section. OY. Oh boy.

Someone did point out that Franco/Kiki/Silas never seem to 'rest' while AJ/Liz languish for weeks and months without anything to do.

I also find the Genie contract thing still so fishy. It's obvious SOMETHING happened. It was just too abrupt. Or Ron's just that bad of a writer.

    • I guess I should appreciate Clifton's devotion to his craft, but this comes off as so pretentious. Nothing about Liam's story (or B&B, for that matter) is high art.
    • To me the product placement normalizes these folks. Your bound to see household products around no matter how immaculate someone's house may be.  I was just thinking about her as Yvonne on AMC. Yeah, would love to see her. 
    • There's also the soap opera conundrum: once characters get everything they want, they tend to stagnate. Nola got everything she wanted. One of the things that was really interesting about her was that tremendous need for things out of her grasp. Once that was resolved, there wasn't much left for her to play. Maybe Long could have found something to replace that, but since she wasn't created by Long, she probably preferred to focus on the needy character she created: Reva. They were still significant stockholders. They could have punched back. Vanessa forced to team with the brother she resents. I can see it working.
    • She could have easily tied them into the Cottage Mystery...(they could have easily explained going on adventures with Bea, babysitting) The house that Tony and Annabelle lived in could have been the coachhouse of the property that Qualo and Henry live in, or at the very least Nola would have been totally in on ghosts and secrets of her brother's house. But they kind of just sat around for months.  The clip of Van and Billy's impromptu wedding shows how sidelined Nola and Quint became...Nola isn't even around butting in on them getting married, its all Reva (though it is a more interesting Reva where Mindy and her or going at it and insulting each other..THAT Reva was fun.)  I loved it when those two would go at it. Somehow they could have resurrected that antogonistic relationship and not have Billy worshing at the throne of Reva.  When they brought JC back on recurring they should have had him at least warn Annie about Jeva pulling her down..."Darlin' I love my brother, but when he has ole Reva in his sites he will drop any woman to try to win her back...and then he will get bored with her...she's like booze is to me and you...he hates it but he needs it..get out while you can!"
    • It's been brought up that Empty Nest was a time slot hit. Here's Empty Nest schedule and seasonal rating in comparison to The Golden Girls. 1988/89: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1989/90: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 6th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 9th. 1990/91: The Golden Girls Saturday 9 pm, 10th. Empty Nest Saturday 9:30 pm, 7th. 1991/92: The Golden Girls Saturday 8 pm, 30th (final season). Empty Nest Saturday 9 pm, 22nd.  1992/93: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1993/94: Saturday 9 pm, below the Top 30. 1994/95: Saturday 8:30 pm then 8 pm, below the Top 30, and cancelled. Empty Nest 7 season run equaled the parent show The Golden Girls.
    • In an interesting turn of irony, when Somerset came onto the airwaves in 1970... it ran against Dark Shadows and beat it in the ratings fairly quickly.  Then when Edge of Night moves to ABC in December 1975 and put against Somerset, the slow ratings rise that Somerset was allegedly having in late 1975 is derailed. From reading the write ups of the final year, the show dropped the May/December romance.. which viewers enjoyed and was getting the show some good press... the original cast member was sidelined due to medical issues, and the show featured pure crime stories without any balance. I think the crime focus was an attempt to compete with EON.  However, people that were into crime stories/mysteries weren't going to tune into Somerset for their fix.. not when Edge of Night was known for that.. and that show was running on a high quality wise when the network switch occurred.

    • Erwin Nicholson's last episode as SFT ep was 11/21. Whitesell started 11/22/85. Erwin was on board from March 8, 1985 so less than 9 months. Whitesell lasts six months (approximately) before P&G moved him to AW for two years where he primarily worked with DePriest. Whitesell was replaced on Search by no daytime experience David Lawrence who closed out the show's last six months.
