Just because there's an endless stream of people who are not associated with this creative team out there, that doesn't mean that - by virtue of their being not these guys - they should therefore be back at the show instead.

Today's audience believes The Revitalizers are brilliant because they "keep the cast fresh". It's brilliant to have 35 "stories" just lingering but have so much going on every day when NOTHING is really happening. All the "action" and bloated cast has fooled the new audience into believing there's balance so they won't notice the "stories" are actually taking place offscreen. How could you not realize the "stories" are repeating themselves? Takes a special kind!

Stunt cast a West or a Stafford (and more than likely Miller) and feature them daily to increase ratings, so then the soap "press" can tell the Twitter world that The Revitalizers are the best GH has had in years (but us old school folks know better). The Revitalizers are aware of their capabilities. They can bring the ratings up, but they can't maintain the audience with their "writing", thus all the castings.

YR has hope because a new regime can fix what ails that mess. GH is never going to get better because until a replacement is found for the show itself, we are stuck with The Revitalizers. That just sucks sad.pngsad.pngsad.png

lol...Now now, Vee!

I think I'd reverse that judgment on Y&R and GH. I think Y&R is headed down for good because that's where the larger powers that be who hold the strings on that program want it to be. They wanted a "peppy and cheap" ABC-style soap, and now they've got something (IMO) far more off-brand and boring than most ABC soaps on their worst days. Even when things got bad on ABC, and they got real bad, they were rarely that boring or that desperate to be something on another network. They were bad within their own unique identity.

GH has a slew of problems and is a major mess, but its people go to the wall in the service of both good ideas and terrible ones. No one at Y&R seems willing to go to the wall for anything except making the quarter.

If you dont like what a poster says then just skip it.

I am thisclose to wish Guza back and if it ever comes to that I will damn sure say it as often as I feel like it.

I think whomever wrote The Teletubbies would do a better job than Rc at this point.

It's hard to [!@#$%^&*] ignore it and skip it when he repeats it at ad nauseam in every single thread anytime someone who ever worked at GH's name is brought up and he's usually suggesting people who are never coming back and that he wasn't even alive to see their work. Its almost as obnoxious as Jonnysboro's GH praise.

If by years you mean the period Guza, Pratt and Wolfe were writing and the show was produced by JFP and starring Maurice Benard, Steve Burton and a rotating cast of Carlys with not even a fraction of the talent of Sarah Browne, then yes, the revitalizers are the best GH has had in years.

It was that he was closeted. Because Felix's parents are deaf, dumb and blind.

They clearly lost interest in her once they lost Samantha Morgan(?), the wonderful, too-talented original actress in that very thin role who was basically there to play a teen slut to shine up Molly and Rafe and tear down angry black T.J. Once Rafe tanked, the black chick had to go too.

      No to Andre/Ashley. I'm not sensing any connection. Kat is playing a dangerous game going against Silk Press Sheila.

      Today was definite a good episode day with surprising 1:1 scenes between Bill/Silk Press Sheila & SPS/Kat.  And the final long scene between SPS/Kat with the close ups and cliffhanger reminds me so much of old school P & G/Bell soaps. It fits since Judy Tate (script writer) wrote for P & G soaps for years and Zimmerman (breakdown writer) worked on both Bell soaps. I even liked the Ashley/Derek scenes only because it feels as if there is a point to the scenes (lead up to a break up perhaps).  Andre/Ashley having a scene tells me that the show is still testing them out.. and I think showing the growing disconnect between Derek/Ashley will eventually lead to the two possibly dating. NuTed.. he seems more humble and less boastful/confident than the previous Ted.  Perhaps the show felt the previous Ted couldn't play remorse/humble.. and they made the switch.  Time will tell. Lastly... it was a Dani free day

      Ryan's Hope Discussion Thread

      Goulet also had an odd way of speaking - very clipped and brisk, like she had just gotten out of a '40s film. She sounded out of breath. She had this on all her soaps. She was a better actress than Tolan and did well enough with Mary's grief over her marriage in her final week or two in the part but had no real spark.  I agree they may have found a better Mary if they had tried harder. For some reason the recasting for the Ryan kids was never what it should have been. I don't know what was going on with Barbie Siobhan. Maybe that was ABC.

      Exactly. And it's not like Stephanie didn't live a life when Hennig played her.  There are so many stories and relationships you can mine from her past.  And we just got......a book and sex with Alex or the random Bobby backstory which no one needed  I trust new writing can get the character back on track.  Like I said, I do think Abigail Klein has charisma.

      Today (Thurs May 15) eppy not on paramount *menu* but it's on cbs.com. If you take the cbs episode URL and substituted paramountplus for cbs in the same URL, you get the episode on pplus https://www.cbs.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/ https://www.paramountplus.com/shows/video/Huj7bAYV8H6T038u9cXam3bk6QXNkM2Y/

      Really good episode today. Even the characters who usually annoy me, like Chase and Brook Lynn, got some sweet scenes. I also appreciate that they're finally giving Lucky more to do, letting him in on Ric & Ava's blackmail scheme. And those Liz and Lucas scenes were fantastic;  Van Hansis has been bringing such playfulness to the role of Lucas, he brings out the best in scene partners like Laura Wright and Becky Herbst. It was also nice to get Liz's perspective on why her romantic rapprochment with Lucky is moving so slow; it makes perfect sense that she thinks he's not really capable of settling down, even if he wants to be with her.

      I thought Keith did great as well. His scene with Colby was what sold me. He displayed the emotions that a man who knows he's made a mistake and wants to rectify should have. Its funny how Maurice has been given passes in his acting that other actors have not. What Keith has shown me is that he can atleast keep up with the ladies in his story instead of them acting circles around him when Maurice was playing the role.
