GH: Carlivati OUT! Passanante/Altman IN!!

[Errol]

Been out of the loop for awhile, but if I understand things correctly: Ron's contract was coming up for renewal and ABC decided to wait it out, but then the 13 weeks of lows could not be justified. So as to avoid possible cancellation talk, especially with November sweeps coming up, certain execs stepped in and made a change before others decided to pull a 2011.

Smart.

This is hilarious

[JONNYSBRO]

Thank you, well-wishing fans. And thanks @carlivatiron for the moving, hilarious, romantic, suspenseful, nutty things you brought to #GH.

This is what Jean P just wrote on her twitter what a class act this woman is. It's well wishes but nothing personal he can't expect her not to take the job if offered.

And I am your biggest fan Jonny, bro you truly crack me the [!@#$%^&*] up! Keep doing you! LOL

[SOAPSFOREVER]

The problem is that they replaced Ron with such talentless, oft-fired, humdrum head writers. If ABC execs really knew or cared about this show, they'd realize it's time to truly shake things up—hire a head writer or head writing team who get GH, and who would provide a fresh, creative, inspired approach. Jean and Shelley have been recycled through the soap mill so many times, Jean especially. Few except Jonnysbro (whom I suspect is Jean in drag!) think she's up to the task. GH's writing will undoubtedly be even more micromanaged from the network suits because they know Jean is essentially a "yes" woman. She wants a job, she wants to keep a job, and she does it by going along with whatever the network and EP directs. That's how she survived her days at ATWT by doing exactly what Chris Goutman, her EP, wanted. The network is just treading water with these two. Yes, Ron was beyond burned out. He needed to vacate the HW's chair two years ago, but to choose JP and SA? An uninspired, lackluster choice at best.

Oh Cady, they won't be giving you a job honey, so calm down there...

[slick jones]

Took the words right out of my mouth...

Just Watch.....we will all be rejoicing when Pratt is gone from Y&R but by January it will be Ron taking his place........

other then that, It's just hard to care who's in charge anymore if all they do is recycle the same hacks every 4 years......they are afraid of "new talent" and that's that......

[JONNYSBRO]

Lol actually Shelley and Jean could write Cady a new role on GH.

Right now Pratts writing are way too high for any changes I doubt Pratt Will Share CO Head Writer Duties with Ron.

[slick jones]

^^^ The thought of that made me want to puke!

[ranger1rg]

Carlivati was bad beyond belief.

I don't care HOW mediocre Jean and Shelley are, at least their stories are coherent and don't happen off screen. At least they write scenes longer than 40 seconds. At least their turn to history doesn't mean a vet gets a day every two months. At least they write stories and not "neat scenes."

This is not the time to criticize the new writers. It's time to celebrate the firing of a writer who has taken GH to its worst quality EVER.
