Members ChitHappens Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't think it's terrible at all. I'm fully aware of the sledgehammer Jean and Goutman took to ATWT, but NOTHING can be worse than moRon. Jean did some pretty good work on YR, and she's passable. As far as hacks go, she's certainly a rung above that clown, moRon! He's an idiot and not a storyteller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cassadine1991 Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 She wrote a better reunion for Anna and Robin compared to what we got from RC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 I can't believe I'm saying this but I wouldn't mind seeing what she does at GH. I want a change and if it's her, I guess, so be it. It's not like we have a bunch of choices. Ron's throwing anything at the wall right now and hoping it sticks.

Members Vee Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 No, she didn't, and no, she's not. And yes, she's worse. She may be a fine staff writer but she's beyond ill-equipped for this role, moreso than Ron Carlivati. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 She's a hack! I'm no fan of Ron, but she is worse because her writing is boring. Stop promoting her beyond breakdowns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Merp Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 I don't think so. But MW as this other person is already stupid. Let's say it's really a look alike, she looked up Julian's address to come over and what...stop Ava from looking like her? Mob bosses are listed in phone books or online phone directories? Why get involved with these people? Everyone at Julian's thought it was Ava and were glad when she got arrested? Kaka and Morgan were smiling, Sam and Julian didn't seem to care if she really was Ava, wtf. With family like that who needs enemies? I bet this look alike is legit, her prints will clear her, and then Ava will take her identity. How else can they bring Ava back? I don't think they can clear Ava's name or redeem her. And where the hell is Silas? If Avery wasn't taken to cure Ava, why was she taken at all? Jeez I'm sick of the poor, drawn out stories on this show.

Members ChitHappens Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 Yes!!!! A complete idiot incapable of storytelling is better than NO ONE! Continue your subliminal stanning for Craptini if you wish, but the only way Jean could be worse than Ron is if she turned all the women into prostitutes and had them making time with farm animals!

Members NothinButAttitude Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 But, boo, she did have Allison and Emily prostituting at one time.... Today's episode: Why does the one black man, who happens to be on the wrong side of the law, actually does real hard time? Like seriously? After all the crimes Sonny has committed, it is Shawn that'll end up doing real time. I did enjoy Shawn and TJ's farewell to each other. I do wish though that Shawn and Jordan would've came clean about his parentage. Why drag it out even longer? Right then was the perfect time to play that beat. This Ava story is stupid. Anybody can tell that was Ava with a wig on. Why not snatch the wig off her head and move on? This is why I can't GH seriously nowadays. And Jake is a bore. This is another reveal that needs to occur now. Not in November when Ron is possibly thinking about spoiling it all. Just end this crap now!

Members quartermainefan Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 This Denise thing is silly, annoying, cliched and unbelievable, but Maura West is excellent. It is a completely different character with the accent, even a slightly different way of walking. She really is going out of here way on this one. I doubt too many on the cast could do what she is doing. Finola Hughes was excellent as Olbrecht pretending to be Anna, but after those two I don't think anyone on the show has the talent or physical skills (accent, etc) to do what West is doing.

Members Vee Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 You're so upset, I love it! Your incorrect allegations aside, all I can tell you is that I watched Jean Passanante tear through AMC and ATWT and render them the most dreadful pieces of schlock I'd ever seen, to say nothing of her far from thrilling Y&R run. That woman may be a very talented breakdown writer but she is not qualified to headwrite, and she's proven it over and over. Carlivati, for all his tremendous flaws, had his good spells in the past; she has none, ever. I stand by my statement. That may not be popular for when the board wants to blame ol' Ron for all the sins of mankind, but I prefer to critique Our Ronald on what he's actually done, as opposed to making excuses for other hacks just to trash him more. Defending the likes of Passanante or McTavish only renders any actual legitimate critique of Ron Carlivati myopic and immature. That's right! Alison came back to the show 40 years old and suddenly a crackhead porn star. I'll never forget that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ChitHappens Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 Vee, you disappoint me. Do you realize how early you'd have to get up in the morning to even put a minor dent in my mood? Chile! Anywho, Jean and Goutman tore thru ATWT - agreed. However, Craptini have not torn thru GH? It's an embarrassing cartoon. Who's the biggest hack? Doesn't make a difference at this point, but still, Jean cannot do worse than Ron. It's not possible to make GH more of a clusterfuck than it is right now. I'm confident.

Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted May 27, 2015 Author Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 I think McTavish & Passanante's head written shows were a thousand times more watchable than ANYTHING of Ron's for GH. just because he so clearly loves the soaps and brought back so many vets doesn't mean he gets a free pass. His sh!t is terrible! Sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 Never be sorry about telling the truth! Craptini have been on a rampage since they got here. Have no clue what it means to helm a soap. Just awful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted May 27, 2015 Members Share Posted May 27, 2015 Megan McTavish's only tolerable run as a HW came in the '90s when she was backstopped and propped up by a bevy of seasoned female pros behind the scenes, some of whom she alienated in the process, like her mentor. Her last run at AMC, while it may have had its good qualities, was invalidated for me immediately by being built on the brutal rape and impregnation of a pioneering gay heroine, a strategy employed to avoid using the character as an overtly romantic leading lady at all costs. Her GH run was the worst GH I have ever seen, and that includes the current era. I'll tear RC's work apart for all the right reasons, but you'll never see me excuse either of those women, who have no business near the head writer's chair again even if their names do not feature the words "Ron" or "Carlivati". They were tearing up my block long before he could get his name above the title. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
