Members Juliajms Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 Maybe. I wonder what Guza and Cartini would be like as co-head writers? I'm not saying it would be good, but it's nearly Halloween, which always makes me think of Frankenstein's cobbled together monster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JONNYSBRO Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 Guza would never co head write with Ron. They have polar opposite styles of writing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 I admit, I liked him a lot on AMC, and it was one of B/E's better (and more subtle) stories--since they had him playing The Comeback's bartender for a few months and just brought him more and more into the show. But his character went psycho and was killed off too quickly there--partly due to Pratt coming on. I think he has talent, and I admit I find him more attractive than most soap hunks (even if people say he's not fit,) but from what I've seen of him since he tends to play the same character just in an increasingly more The Joker-grin way. He hasn't had great material to play (he was kinda decent on Sarah Michelle Gellar's flop CW show,) so I don't fully blame him, but, once again, it probably be more interesting to bring him on to GH as a new character--or a LONG lost character--than as Jason. I've only been sorta watching the past 6 weeks of GH--I've had so many school things to work on, but this show. Wow. I'm so glad RC and FV decided to focus less on the mob....

Members RavenWhitney Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 Today's episode rocked in every way. God, Morgan is a doll. Great acting, great writing, amazing directing. Even loved botox Bobbie's hair. Kudos to Cartini! Can't wait for the rest of sweeps.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 I enjoyed the whole Heather escapade and how she put one over on first the FBI agent, then the hitman (who can't seem to hit anybody) Franco's obnoxiousness never abates, so his scenes are ruined for me whenever I don't FF them. Since his scenes concerned Heather I forced myself to watch and RH's screen persona is an unattractive as ever. Not really sure what was going on with Donna Mills as a doctor, but she looked nice. It was a decent episode, just a pity Franco had to bring it down. Never. Guza is only better than one writer: Pratt, who is better than no one. I would sooner watch a show written by Hogan dullsville Sheffer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 Why does Jonny keep bringing up Guza? He's the only one who does. Just like kenerly still wants to get personally upset because people don't like Billy Miller or Shawn Christian or their characters. It's OK. Please stop and let it go. I can't with these. I'm posting so much less. And FYI, I don't like Christian and Daniel, didn't like Miller as Billy but I DO like Miller on General Hospital as Jason. Go figure. Although he was/still is bordering Michelle Stafford first two months and on every damn day. Which I hate when someone is shoved down our throats. I don't care who it is. I'm also tired of seeing Ava's face every day and I love me some Maura West, who's also looking fabulous. Did the ladies rebel and finally get someone to style and dress them correctly? And can they decide what they want Ava to be? The victim? The put upon heroine? The heartless mob bitch? And for Ava to be afraid of Nina? Meh. I know bitch be crazy but Ava all frightened by her makes me roll my eyes. Just like Jordan getting overpowered by crazy Heather. Whenever Ron needs movement, let's just call in the crazies! Screw telling a real plot! The show isn't as terrible as it's been, to be quite honest. Does that mean it's good? Yeah, not quite great soap but it's better. To a degree. Things are a tiny bit more interesting and while we're still seeing characters disappear for a looong time, I feel like the inclusion of characters has been a little bit better. I'm sure it's because of the wedding, but I've really liked seeing Bobbie used so much. THIS is the supporting role she should be in, with a little side story. I agree the Scotty in his robe bit is getting old but Ron beats a dead horse to death before letting it go. He probably sees it as comedy and thinks it's hilarious everytime Franco interrupts him. I can see him thinking it's the best thing ever and loving it. Ugh. Donna Mills looks fabulous. Too bad she's being wasted on Michelle Stafford and the dialogue is written so badly. CAN WE PLEASE GET NEW SCRIPT WRITERS? (and yes I have to yell that lol). Most of them are weak, and it shows. There's still a bit too much going on but it's not the complete dreck it was a few months ago, imo. I can get through an episode. Sadly more than I can say for my show DAYS. I'm also tired of the contrived BS that they write, like the secrets Morgan and Kaka keep. I mean, it's clear as day we are getting Morgan/Kaka/Michael/Rosalie, the set up is just forced, like a lot of things. And speaking of forced, if anyone had any doubts about Sam and Silas, aka one of the most lifeless and lackluster couples ever, clearly isn't done. Patrick and Sam were done before they started with the Jason aspect, so it's clear Patrick is likely in a holding pattern until Kim decides to come back for the 100%th time, unless we get a Sam/Silas/Patrick tried and true triangle. But won't Sam be all over Jason, or is this one Liz's and Burton's Jason is Sam's? So no not everything is negative, let's stop this notion that everyone is negative and hateful towards the show. I only see two people getting offended. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 I agree with this. I want more solid scenes like these. And about switching out Larry for Puke? I don't care for either one but I'm sick of Geary looking like death, looking miserable ... at least Larry has some life to him and if we're stuck with one of these types of loser characters, I'd rather have a fresh to me one at this point, and with ties to Tracy and Ned. We don't need Luke. Geary should retire. And we don't really need Lulu either. I think Emme Rylan has done some decent work here and there as Lulu but she's such a non-character it isn't even funny (and she's also done some really bad acting too). She actually works as Lulu but the writing isn't there (during the Levi story I felt Lulu was written a bit better and stronger and at least the baby nonsense has stopped for now).

Members ChitHappens Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 Kman, I will agree that the show has not been the travesty it was from June to August, but it does have a ways to go. However, GH will NOT recover under Craptini! It's just too full of clowns and history is all but gone! moRon promised 11 eppies of drama. Yesterday [day 1] had way too many dumb asses to even be remotely considered drama. Shawn and Jordan were pitiful, but why would I blame them? They didn't script themselves? Jordan is a DEA agent! She stumbles upon a woman locked in a room in hospital clothing and this is a good time to spill her guts? Why not call Anna? She drop kicks a man who looks pretty buff, but then her next scene she's bound and gagged in saran wrap? Huh? Shawn can't hit a target and he talks so much so that we can see how wonderful and witty Howarth's ratchet ass is. The only thing those scenes did was ensure that Sonny will be FrankenTodd's bitch. Now, the little inept greaseball has yet another secret, Heather! Carly has provided this little man absolution and protected him time and time again, he tells her he loves her but puts her in the line of fire, re: Heather, the woman who kidnapped, tormented and was going to kill her?! How long does Sonny go on this way? It's insane. Nina and Madge were ff material. Even on ff, this woman is a sore thumb if ever there was one. Sam and Silazzzz were in the wrong eppy and Kelly just does not care anymore. Morgan, the walking talking screaming contradiction. He is faulting his mother for keeping Sonny's secret even though she's doing it to shield Michael and keep Sonny out of jail as she tries to preserve the father/son relationship, but Morgan can sell Michael out to keep Ava safe (I won't mentioned that he's also selling his mother out for Kaka)? Bitch, STFU! When I think of memorable big events on GH, The Metro Court Hostage Crisis, The Hospital Fire, The Black and White Ball, etc. FrankenTodd/Carly's wedding with clowns to the left and right of us does NOT even rate! A sad silly mess! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 I do but the presence is still there. I have to say it was probably a tad dramatic on my part but they're still a heavy part of the discussion and seem to shoehorn themselves in with the same diatribe. Anywho ... it's just distracting and annoying. But I'm doing no favors by giving attention to it all I guess, LOL. Moving on ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 Agreed. GH isn't anywhere where it needs to be but it's not the absolute dreck it was in the summer. Just putrid awful stuff. I feel like the show is only showing promise at the moment because things are finally starting to show momentum and it feels like there's SOME purpose. Most of the time the show is just all over the place. But it could be so much tighter and needs a stronger focus. Not everything, on paper, is horrible actually [past and current stuff], it's the translation on screen that falls apart. Howarth is just awful. I'm so disappointed that I hate seeing his face on my screen. He does comedy well but Franco is basically Todd, to a degree, and it's doing no one any favors. Silazzzz sticks out on this show like a sore thumb. Easton is so miscast it's not even funny. Yet, at times, he works, but it's never ever consistent. Can we just call this a loss and move on? Same with Kiki and Franco ... and others. But noooo ... sigh. It's like it's rotate-a-villain. Let's have Jerry this week, Heather next week ... sigh. It's becoming so overdone at this point. And the Puke/Fuke story is beyond dragged out. I know this time they had no choice because of Geary's needed surgeries, but still, let's wrap this baby up please. It's tired. Tracy looks even more like a fool and I can't stand it. Ned, however, has been a huge bright spot. I love Wally Kurth. Tired of Morgan and Sonny shouting at each other. Sonny is on ALL THE DAMN TIME again and he has the same scenes. Zzzzz. Mo isn't even trying at this point. He has his OK moments here and there, but overall, he's with Kelly Monaco on the sleep train because they're both clearly disinterested. At least Monaco *somewhat* comes to life when in scenes with Jason Thompson (compared to Easton, who I actually don't dislike). At least Thompson has acting ability and range. No he's not this master thespian (he's not) but he's solid enough and I can actually stand Patrick for the most part now, even if the character seems to be forever in a holding pattern. Is Jon Lindstrom taping? Are we ever going to see Kevin again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ajsp35801 Posted October 31, 2014 Members Share Posted October 31, 2014 I watched an epi of GH yesterday to see what all the hoopla was about Jordan....and, what the heck is going on with MS. There was no scenery left after that show was over. She needs to take it down more than a few notches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
