Bobbie/Felicia/Kevin/Lucy/Mac/Scott is a pasta plot. The writers are throwing them against the screen and seeing what sticks.

Don't say this to some of the TWITters. They can't believe Craptini are being criticized for their use of the vets and look at the great stories they have, you know the ones featured once a month? I could care less about Lucy's affair being exposed when that "story" was shown once every 5 weeks.

The long standing characters are only still on the show because they are the reason the audience still tunes in, and Craptini knows this. Where are their stories? Seriously!

Oh I don't post on Twitter when it comes to soaps. I said something along the lines of being glad when Phyllis got tossed down those stairs and Redzilla fans tried it but I ignored their responses. So I am not gonna even entertain Veronica's fans. Especially soap bloggers on other sites b/c they stan for him the hardest.

Carlivati is all atwitter because Nancy Lee Grahn sent a tweet to congratulate Ron and Elizabeth Korte for a great script today. Ron tweeted back to Nancy not to forget that Dan O'Conner wrote the breakdown and that everything that was in the script was directly from the breakdown. Ron did confirm that Korte wrote the script.

Does anyone know if she was given sole credit for the script to day. Since Ron assumed HW duties she has not been given sole script credit. I thought she was only editing scripts. I find it interesting that she's the only writer Cartini didn't fire when the came to GH. The sole survivor! Korte is not on twitter and keeps a low profile. But she's employed...!

Yes, she's credited with the script writer of the day but in the past if she wrote the entire script she received sole credit. Carlivati said she wrote the script; he didn't say she edited it. So she should be listed alone in today's credits if she wrote the entire episode.

    • Definitely. It's not bad at all, but yesterday was just an anomaly considering we haven't had an episode that bad before. 
    • I caught most of the episodes during that time period.   Subsequently Bell or Alden (I forget which) revealed that Peggy's rape story was done for strategic ratings purposes.  Chris's rape had occurred earlier, before the show really caught on & was near the middle or the lower end of the ratings.  Bell had been pleased with the concept and wanted the rape story to play-out for a much larger audience.  By the 1975-1976 season, the show was near the top of the ratings and was extremely popular among high school & college kids.  He felt the time was right to re-tell the story.   When I was watching in 1976, I didn't find it especially "cruel" that lightning had struck twice in the Brooks family.  I felt it was more of a continuation of Chris's storyline, giving her a chance to continue dealing with the trauma of her own rape.  
    • Dan being de facto HW explains a lot. It's clear the show changed direction on a dime according to his interests or whims.
    • Really enjoyed today's episode the whole way through. Having Drew and Nina as red carpet hosts was a brilliant move. You could really see Cameron Mathison channeling his own experiences as a TV host for shows like Entertainment Tonight, but putting a more sinister spin on the host's glib patter. And Cynthia Watros gave some amazing reaction shots during Drew's interactions with people like Carly, Joss, and Willow.  I also really liked the Alexis/Kristina scenes. I know a lot of us find Kristina exasperating, and she is, but Kate Mansi and Nancy Lee Grahn do a great job of portraying a very real dysfunctional mother/daughter dynamic. 
    • The episode she got killed off in - which made Wendy a prime suspect in her murder (her car was spotted outside the house) and then Wendy mysteriously disappeared from town.

    • What Dan Curtis never seemed to understand -- and what Art Wallace knew from the get-go -- is that a slow, suspenseful build-up creates a far more satisfying episode than the constant "cliffhangers" that never amounted to much.  ("I'm going to kiillll you, Julia!" before every commercial break, lol.)
