GH promo: Fluke has a mask!


Recommended Posts

Guza drove me away from the show. But he and his team had several plotted stories. Some of them were awful, some were events tucked between 2 or 3 months of dialogue heavy scenes, but they did tell stories. Off the top of my head...

Tony Jones spent two years going crazy.

Sonny/Brenda/Jax

The Liz rape through jackson's leaving the show the first time around was one entire story.

Robin and Patrick's relationship.

Sonny and Carly ending up together, and michael.

The entire fight for Michael.

Dillon and Georgie's relationship and Tracy being against it.

The dreadful Emily rapeby they Nikolas lookalike.

The Balkan.

That's just off the top of my head. Guza had lots of meandering and wasted time, and I just hated what GH became under his work, but the guy did write stories.

Didn't she also pen Lucky finding out Luke raping Laura? And what is she? The rape story penning guru? I know that she experienced rape herself as she said it in an interview, but do all the head writers come to her when they want a rape story penned? She has so many other talents as well. I'll always LOVE MVJ for creating Gia along with Gia/Nik romance AND Gia/Liz rivalry. I enjoyed GH at that time.

Someone mentioned scrubs getting together as a story. Thinking back, I recall Jenny and Greg and what they went through, Nina and Cliff, Robert and Holly, the drama around Tina and Cord, even Belle and Shawn. Patrick and Robin fought over a couch. This was their so-called story. They went on PA systems and bickered.

These are the lauded stories of Guza apparently, while RC's stories of villains kidnapping Luke or Faison and Jerry holding Robin are not stories, merely plot points? How can anyone take such a position seriously? Now bickering is a story with a beginning, middle and end?

Um, what's wrong with PLOT? You lose character depth. You lose relatability. You lose credibility. I'm glad you enjoy the masks and the cartoon villains. This show under Ron's pen could really be as good as you think it is. But it isn't.

And stop thinking if fans don't like RC that they want Guza back. That.Is.NOT.The.Case. Again, that is NOT the case.

Also, both classic Monty era and Labine had plenty of chatacter within their plots. Let's not forget even the Ice Princess led to Robert Scorpio and Luke and Laura getting married.

RC is all plot all the time. A lot of the character moments are talked about as in happened off screen and he drives the plot so much character is lost. I watched one entire episode last week and other than the Carly and Michael scenes the rest were snarky between all the characters. With better script writers he would have a more ideal show. Scripts illuminating character while also moving the plot forward. Plus maybe some of the beats that are dropped would show up on screen.

But I cannot deny that when i do tune in I am more engaged than I was during the last four years of JFP's era, and the ratings don't lie. The show is up in viewers.

    • Ann Williams was the first Maggie Powers on The Doctors but left to have a baby. Maggie was successfully recast so Ann picked up the role of Eunice (Jo's sister on Search for Tomorrow) and played that role for 10 years before being killed of in 1976. That led to her role of Margo on EON.
    • Looking at those totals it seems most contract actors are on a 1 or 2 week average guarantee. I assume contracts are still operating on 13 week cycles so you would have to know the particular actors contract starting date to work out their guarantee. The question remains as to what actors listed as contract are actually recurring? Bryton ?
    • Yep, that scene was at the conclusion of the Derek Thurston vs George Packard storyline, when Kay decided neither of them should run Chancellor.  By the time she put Victor in charge, Victor had been on the show for months & months with his Rolls Royce, his ranch, and Newman Enterprises.  SONY released some Y&R "trivia cards" in the late 1980s, and one of the questions was "who brought Victor Newman to Genoa City?" The answer on the back of the card is "Kay Thurston, to run Chancellor Industries", and it's a wrong answer lol.    
    • I think someone said it did exist, but I can't remember.
    • The bit with the scarf reminds me of the fabled stuffed animal scene with Rick and Phillip. (That wasn't debunked, was it?)
    • Ohh, interesting. I instantly gravitated towards her in that episode. Of course I'm already hooked and want to know why she was trying to poison that older lady, but then how did the older lady know to switch the mugs so Susan drank her own poison...  but I have too many timelines I'm watching right now haha.  Oh, Bolger is definitely hot. I didn't realize he was on GL haha. I knew him from OLTL and other primetime stuff.
    • This is a effin shame. Eff Trump and eff the bastards that enable him.
    • I 100% agree but I think this is due to how the show is structured. It's a one family show which means there are no people in her age range that could be used as friends or contemporaries of her. The show definitely needs a second main family. I am glad someone finally said this. Especially now that the cast is gelling in their roles, he stands out like a sore thumb. No energy, no chemistry with anybody. He is just there.  I thought that was odd as well! The previous scene would've worked better as a tag for the credits.
    • That's the one and only Carrie Nye (Mrs. Dick Cavett) as Susan Piper, a deadly realtor. I don't want to spoil a lot if you ever want to see those episodes. She returns as another character in 2003. I think Grant has aged well and he always did a good job at being ripped without going too far, but he was never entirely my cup of tea either. I did think John Bolger was hot.
    • Totally agree. KKL looks great! It makes the Widge groveling so bizarre. Brooke needs to leave FC and with $B's/Liam's funding launch a rival fashion house with Hope, Rick, Katie and a secret designer. The best scenario is that Rick has been absent because he's been with very much alive C2, who is revealed on the runway as the secret designer. It'll never happen because B&B is comfortable just focusing on FC and the Forresters Marones v. Logans. But it'd been so much more interesting if the Spencers/Logans united.
