Who knows?

For now, I'm just content imagining Ron in his gaychelor pad, listening to his Mariah Carey ballads album, crying in the corner, wondering "whyyyy?"

#Truth

But I still hold out hope that CBS can't and won't want to deal with Ron's kind of crazy

Me too but I never thought I would see the day Phelps and Pratt would get hold of Y&R.

Too bad, so sad...Not thrilled about Jean and Shelley and all the hemming and hawing about Jean's "intellectual, smart " writing from "we all know who"

I do think our vets have a chance, as JP and SA utilized Traci on Y&R, as well as Jill, so we'll see.

Let the pink slip Parade begin....Stafford, Howarth,Easton,Erin,Devry,Tovar, Griiller, etc...<fingerz crossed>

Theere are only two vets on contract: Jane Elliot and Finola Hughes. I hope they write not only for them but for Genie Francis, Kin Shriner and Jackie Zeman. Something tells me these two will be mobular and fawn all over Sonny, Carly and Jason.

No no Jean and Shelly were picked for a reason. They could have named just Jean but Shelley is a surprise it's because there smart tv resonated with execs. I think I am the biggest Jean P fan out there lol. So do u all at least think Jean and Shelly are improvements over Ron? U have to think to get their vision

Omg omg omg omg omg omg I am so freaking happy. This is just amazing [!@#$%^&*] news. Smart TV returns to my screen. Omg omg I could care less about Ron if it means mt dream team gets to recreate the magic they did on y and r. ABC was watching smart tv on y and r and they took notice. Jean is just fabulous and will give us a GH with Shelly that is close to cable TV pyscjolgisl drama if we ever saw it. I am ectastic right now beyond words

Weren't you just saying a few days ago that Ron was great and ABC backed him up...?

Relax, fellas, I doubt RC is crying over his dismissal. He's much too busy working on his "Knots Landing: the Next Generation" pitch to the networks.

Per a poster claiming to have info at PTV:

I respect that he wrote what he wanted to write, not what some network hack armed with a focus group told him to write. To date, in the entire history of TV there has yet to be a well written TV show driven by focus groups and there never will be. If the focus groups demand A, the writer should write B. All the writer can do is write what he thinks is good and hope the audience does too, not decline to write and instead take focus group bullshit and package it up with fanwanking dialogue sprinkled with network mandated blandness. .

Does it really matter anymore when a HW or EP is shown the old door? There's so much micromanaging going on and absolutely no one left who is good and is willing to put up with the crap. But, whatevs. Ron is free now to spend his days and nights writing Gary Ewing/Mack Mackenzie slash fiction. That should make him happy.

Yes. I like some of what Ron did, but I do think we are going to get some actual stories with JP. They might not be great, but the show will feel much different than it does now.

I didn't think ABC would fire him is what I thought I didn't say great but I hated that people were wanting GH cancelled. I said a change was needed and have been championing smart tv back to my tv since it was taken away. The future of GH has never looked brighter. For fans who missed what they did at Y and R they wrote the fabulous Billy and Adam scenes with muhney and miller, delia anniversary episode, phyllis return fall out with Sharon, the scenes which earned Gina Tognoni an emmy in the living room with Jack,michael getting cancer. It was emotional stuff that made u cry your eyes out.

This makes no sense as moRon has explained quite a few times that a focus group liked something. And if that idiot chose the garbage he penned over ANYTHING else, his termination makes me double happy. Ron is not a writer. He's an event planner. Now he has ample time to plan weddings. I'd rather he go &#33;@#&#036;%^&amp;*] those up!

I hold you personally responsible for this woman's continued employment, you must be working some Santeria rituals and all kinds of manifestation tactics.

I hope Jean is paying you well or that you're at least in the will
