I think (hope) the camp will be reigned in. That will make a lot of these characters more bearable, imo. Sure, I'd like to see Nina, Silas and Franco gone, but I think they will be written more realistically under JP. I love MW, so I'm hoping Ava becomes a better written character.

Maura is a fantastic actress. I think Ava was one of Rons best creations and she won the emmy for those great crypt scenes. The Denise storyline is terrible let's get her back to Ava. I love Roger Howarth but I think Franco has run its course with Nina have them leave together. Let the Jake thing finally be revealed. Jean and Shelly are not campy writers at all. They didn't write any of that on y&r. I think wigh Jean being close to Frank he will help champion her vision more then JFP who did not. I thought Jill was tacky when she won her emmy and didn't thank Jean pr Shelley for writing their best show emmy. BTW SOD named in 2014 Y&R most improved show under Jean and Shelley

Wow does this really make me hate ABC. A fan tweeted Sri Rao they wanted him to take over and this was his response:

Wasn't even [!@#$%^&*] asked!

Poor Rao. SMH.

I can't judge on their writing at Y&R since I stopped watching right as the transition between JG and them started (aka Delia's death)

And let's not come for my Liz with breast cancer. Just...NO.

Again someone who doesn't get smart tv. Watch and u will see great dialogue, vets ob screen, emotional scenes that will make you cry. U guys all wanted a change we have a good change and still complaining. We should be championing smart tv not tearing it down

Truly disappointing. I can see they wouldn't let him fly solo, button not even remember the stellar work he did? I think he and Altman might have made a great team.

She writes mediocre tv AT BEST. Not intelligent. Just there. The type of material soaps used when they were between HW regimes. But I'm feeding your strangeness.

I can appreciate what Rao tried to go with Night Shift: Season 2, but I found A LOT of it aimeless and boring as hell. Also, let's not forget season 2 tanked, which is why it wasn't commissioned for a 3rd season. I don't know who I want for GH per se, but it sure as hell isn't Carlivati, Altman/Passanante, or Sri Rao.

It's too bad GH's best staff writers left after Guza was justifiably fired. I know she's happy at B&B writing scripts, but someone like Michele Val Jean should be given another chance - she never got it 2001 when JFP and McTavish swooped in and forced her out. Her GH scripts were always the best and she did contribute a lot to some of Guza's better 90's stories.

Im so sick of this Jean P smart tv BS.

Unless one has a very meager taste in what they consider smart TV. She does not do smart TV.

Smart TV is stuff like The Wire and Breaking bad in which you actually have to pay attention to see all the various layers that are going on into the web of story.

While I can acknowledge she and shelly were doing a good job of making Y&R at least not suck. There is nothing complicated about Jean.

Name 1 smart story from ATWT. The show that she drilled into the ground. Just 1 story that had actual layers and complication and wasn't just an ordinary soap opera story?!

I haven't watched GH since the Sam and Tea baby switch so I haven't complained about anything. All I see is the same used up boring writers that get passed around from soap to soap. After they flop on GH they'll pop up on the writing staff at DAYS probably. Smh.

I just would like to say how admirable it is for RC to return here and pimp Jean P. and Shelly Altman's work to everyone (before they've even officially started). Lord knows I wouldn't speak so positively about the team that replaced MY ass.

    • There are no dumb questions here, we've all known each other long enough to fill in information without shaming each other.  We want you to be happy @carolineg.  Your POV as one of the few women here is vital. So, please, I hope you never feel as if any question, idea, or opinion is ever silly or stupid.  Your daily reminders about the realities of manicure and menstrual management has become a part of the personality of this thread. As for Hank, while I'm confident there's a plan in place.  It is frustrating that they announce these casting so far in advance that it is tough as an audience and wait it out until the thing happens.  I'm happy they didn't blow it the second Mike was in town, a week after meeting Liam. So, it is a slow burn.
    • I think his full name is Chadwick.  I remember, back when the previous actor was playing him, someone called him Chadwick a couple of times.  It may have been Stefano.  
    • I didn't like those two sleeping together, but I suuure liked seeing BF in them. Wiggle and all. Just sad about the waxing of the chest.   Same.
    • It’s strange. I wonder if the writers at that time had worked with him somewhere else and had a relationship? That time is murky AF to find info on. Rachel Ames in effect left the show at one point in the early 80’s and she is credited like she was there until JFP. Tristan Rogers also took various contract breaks that were not short, and websites also credit him one long stint from 1981-1992. So many people come and go in short succession in 1982-part of 1983. I know they lost a lot of viewers when Genie left, but the show somehow survived yearly at number one through like sheer force of will.
    • In that way, at least we were fortunate.  The Daniel Pilon/Ron Raines decisions...not so much.
    • Letting Brennan put it in yet again while smirking over his shoulder... any day now! She's got him just where she wants him! I do think ol' Jack will be dead by February at the absolute latest. They have set him up as a counter-heavy to Sidwell, forcing poor Joss to work his next scheme or threatening to have her sent down for treason. Once he croaks I still deeply fear we will be subject to Valentin and Carly, partners in crime to lovers, possibly out to find out 'who killed Jack'. Anna was at her best keeping Sonny at arm's length and often somewhat cold, which she only really did (for better or worse) off and on during Carlivati's tenure. But Finola gradually got too emotional over Sonny, Jason, etc. and was allowed to do that onscreen too much long ago. Mulcahey brought some of that steel back, though Finola still managed to choke or quietly sob through some of that material as Anna found her way there lol. She's a brilliant actress and she did a good job with that stuff in '24, but now we're back to the same old and it humiliates the character whether she knows it or not.
    • Listen, I am all for Laura Wright wearing silly wigs and glasses if there was a point.  So far she's just been nice to Brennan and made out with him.  How evil lol!!  Even though I have been told Brennan loves her the writing was never there.  It's so low stakes.  Carly should maybe talk to her daughter and have an adult conversation instead. Laura and Anna look foolish.  I really don't have an issue with either being friendly or at least having some affection for Sonny.  I don't get both of them wanting to have a parade to announce how much they love him and how valuable the friendship is.  C'mon, Laura basically tolerated Sonny because of Luke until Lulu/Dante got together.  Anna likes Sonny because Robin did?  There really isn't much more of a reason for Anna to give him the time of day besides that.  They aren't lifelong buddies.
    • It is so dumb and is dragging on already after a couple weeks. By the time Carly wraps this up Joss will be running the local branch office. And yes, Laura deserves better. It's like they tripled down on this Sonny apologia stuff with her and Anna after the Mulcahey saga.
