Members Antoyne Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Then why bitch when you lose especially given how awful the day to day scripts are on GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jcar03 Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 They choose 16 soaps total. Y&R was knocked out in the first round, B&B and GH in round 2 and of course DAYS went on to win against OLTL. http://parade.condenast.com/256480/viannguyen/soap-opera-showdown-vote-for-the-best-soap-of-all-time-in-our-tournament/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Lol. I wish I were the bigger person and could just let these kind of statements pass without comment. But we all know I can't. So why pretend? Frank and Ron didn't save anything. Through nothing more than outlasting horrible replacement programming that failed miserably, they were given breath. If you like some of the things they've done, that's great. I'm happy for you. But they really haven't outperformed the other soaps' growth.

Members Vee Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Well, now you're making my argument for me, in terms of what I just said about why I think GH and DAYS are not "safe" today. If you want to argue quality that is an entirely different discussion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members rhinohide Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Lol. It's become far too circuitous an argument at this late hour. Maybe the PP lawsuit will be settled and Ron can find new ways to [!@#$%^&*] all over Oltl. That seems to be key to his success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Errol was right RC didnt want Days nominated Period Julie @OhMyJewels1h Ohhh you're questioning it now AFTER you lost as opposed to when the nominations were announced in the 1st place. pic.twitter.com/IeXX9XtBQz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Why should the writers who are part of the union not be acknowledged for their work just because one person went ficore? I don't get that at all. It's not like the ficore writers are nominated or getting anything out of this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Not to get off topic again, but Vee brought up a valid point. I'd like to know what GH's and Days' budgets are (and Jack would know the BTS stuff). I could understand, at first, why Days had to tape ahead to save money. I don't understand it now. There is no reason why you should be taping Christmas shows in June or July. None. At ANY soap. If the GH and Days budgets are the same, then someone fill us in on how far GH tapes ahead. If these ratings hold up for GH and Days... if these shows start to attract more/new viewers... then the networks should add a bit back to the budget to get these shows off the dime. I'm not saying break the bank, but stop making the shows look cheap. That's all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 I doubt Days will ever get back to a month or two a head. This schedule gives the show 16 weeks off & thats 16 weeks the studio is dark and costs SONY no Money Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sivad40 Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 In other words it doesn't matter who is writing and producing GH and what the ratings are because GH is only on the air because the replacemnt programming failed.

Members DRW50 Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Someone ask him why he didn't refuse to submit his name unless Y&R and DAYS were banned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 Kinda funny that when he first got GH as a staff writer in 2011 when OLTL was canned he was so excited to work with Garin Wolf who was HW & also Fi-core Then we RC became HW, Garin stayed on for six months. So if GH had won an WGA award for an episode GW had a hand in would RC have not accepted the award & pulled a Marlon Brando I think not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 So wait -- all four soaps currently standing ALL had writers that went Fi-Core during the strike to keep things ticking along. What does he think Garin Wolf was doing on GH while Bob Guza went on strike? Whistling a merry tune while replaying the same scene of Sonny smashing barware over and over for a month and a half? By RC's logic, ALL the soaps should be out of contention for this award. Because they all kept going with Fi-Core writers back in January-February 2008. Dumbass. And I usually give RC more leeway than most around here. But he's a loud mouth attention-seeker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted February 3, 2014 Members Share Posted February 3, 2014 "This," as well. And Chris was right: since Ron was able to return once the strike was over, claiming that Gary Tomlin "stole his job" is laughable. (Where did you go for law school again, Veronica?)
