I'm not going to read that because I'm not in the mood for moRon slobbering over Howarth's stick AGAIN! Did moRon bother to mention the rest of the GH cast?

The other problem I have with Ron's characters is the number of directions each character they've created has gone in. Take Ava, for example. She cares about her daughter but she's a sniper, but she's in love with Morgan, but she's a murderer, but she still loves Silas, but she frames AJ. Which leads to Silas Who? Which leads to a dead pharmacist. Which leads to her innocence. Which wasn't her at all, but she'll screw on a grave, but she loves her child to be. Not to mention setting up Carrrrrrrrrllllllllllloooooooooooss to take the blame. Did they ever plan the character, or did Ron just go on a crystal meth binge and wrote everything that came into his mind?

There's nothing wrong with a grey character, but I don't even think he knows what he's writing. I love MW, but her character is a train wreck. How do you salvage the character to keep a woman with such presence viable? I don't know, but I'd hate to see her have to go because the haphazard writing puts her in a position they just can't redeem.

That's the problem, they have no direction! These characters go wherever the current plot takes them, and heaven forbid there are more than 13 retcons w/in a month. That would drive the best actor insane!

I saw that article link at another soap forum (SC) and commented that it's easier to write for crazy/psychotic/evil characters because you don't need to rationalize their behavior, and sarcastically commented on the compelling story lines the heroes (Dante/Nathan/Liz/Maxie) get. Then I asked why RC can't give an interview without laughing. He doesn't seem to take his job seriously so why should we take him seriously, or even take the show seriously....and bam! Thread deleted. Wtf. I'm not going there anymore, they make money off ads there but they censor everything. Does RC own that site? It sounds like his twitter feed, butt kissing only allowed.

Kroll is a piece of garbage!

I for once enjoyed the questions being asked and Ron's answers were semi-sane. I don't agree with everything he said but at least I could follow the logic of his comments. I liked that he called Dante, Nathan, Liz and Maxie heroes. There are obviously others you can put in that category but at least he views these characters as good people because I like all of them.

I'm curious to see what he has to say about the Lucy/Duke/Anna mess, I hope Kevin's disappearance was asked about.

Dante and Nathan may be heroes but they are dumb as dirt. Liz and Maxie are losers. I was trying to figure out how many of PC residents should be in jail…and I lost count because there are a lot. What happened to the days when there was one villain in town or the most 2??

Are they setting up Sean as TJ's father? Jordan sure looked guilty in that last scene when they talked about the DNA test.

Predictable and to be honest, it seemed like the likely direction for quite some time

Well of course Shawn is TJ's dad. But they're

bringing in TJ's dad so I'm confused with where they're going with all of this. In fact, I'm pretty sure he already filmed once.

Typical AA story. The woman screws either a set of brothers, cousins, father/son, or best friends. She gets pregnant and keeps it a secret. Once the child learns the truth, he lashes out.

Is that all they have to offer us?

What happened to Jordan infiltrating faux-Luke's organization?

What happened to Molly & TJ's romance? Even though I hated Rafe, this is why he needed to remain alive. They needed some sort of obstacle.

Why aren't they pursuing a quad with Jordan/Sean/Julian/Alexis? Seeing as Jordan/Julian had chemistry and Sean/Alexis dated at one point.

Because no one wants to see that LOL. The less of smug, arrogant Julian, the better. And Shawn and Alexis were coma-inducing!

I would actually be all for Jordan and Julian [!@#$%^&*] around behind Alexis's back. And I really liked Carly and Shawn. It could at least be a brief palate cleanser after fuckin' Franco.

Weren't there rumors that Laura Wright stopped that love story dead in its tracks? I feel like I even remember rumors of her being racist due to it too when in reality she just knew that if Carly were in a relationship with Shawn, she would have received the screen time (or lack thereof) that Nancy got later.

Jordan and Julian would be hot. They showed they had chemistry. Now Julian is being neutered so RC can push him as the new romantic lead in some sense. And Carly and Shawn was one of the worst misses in the past 5 years of the show. LC and SB had great chemistry. But I'm sured it was nixed b/c they pandered to conservatives.

Shawn and Alexis were coma-inducing but look who is writing the show. A capable, more sensible writer would've wrote their story better. Sonny should've been pissed that his right hand man was humping his baby momma and served as an obstacle. Instead, all we saw was Alexis fret over Molly losing her 'V card' with TJ and Shawn cooking in the kitchen like servant [Yes, I said it].
