Because I don't think he's happy about the change. I think -- and this is just what I think, I could be wrong -- but I think he sees himself and Ron as a sort of "dream team," one you can't separate. Again, unless I am way off-base, I suspect he resisted firing Ron, but the network gave him no choice. It was either agree to canning Ron or risk losing his job as well.

As long as Frank brings the show in under budget, and as long as he GOES along with whatever ABC decides, I don't think he's going anywhere, regardless of who is or is not in the HW'ing chair.

Frank is really loved by the cast and crew. He keeps things under budget I heard he didn't want Ron to go that ABC ley him go. The best thing about Frank is he loves Jean P has known her for 23 years. He will definitely champion her vision something u felt JFP didn't do at Y&R. Jean and Shelly are different writers and he needs to embrace that

I wish some people would just get real re: Ron's firing. Yeah, he helped bring up the ratings to their best position in 8 years. He also helped bring them down to their worst performance ever. Should that be ignored? I don't think so. It's not about what you've done, it's about what have you done for me lately. That's the way business works.

Lately he drove the show into the ground and annihilated fans online when they voiced their displeasure. That's childish and pathetic. I've never tweeted the man because I just couldn't stand his so called "professional" behavior and I never understood the ass kissing I've witnessed online on his behalf. It was never warranted, IMO.

I've been wondering if Frank ended up having a hand in Ron's ouster ... I know everyone wants to call them BFFs and a team but at the end of the day ... Frank wants to save his ass. I could be totally wrong but I've had a feeling Frank could have helped run that bus over Ron just a little bit more.

I mean, Frank *seems* liked by the cast. I don't know how true it is he keeps it under budget ... so ... my guess is he had a hand in saying bye bye to Ronnie.

I will say when Ron was handed GH in 2012 it seemed like it was to wrap GH up maybe a job lasting six months. Did he bring GH ratings up? He did and the show has lasted three years longer then it should? His first year and half was great imo anytime he focused on the Robin storyline and her big reunion ratings went through the roof. Nor OLTL alums or this Nina pimping I saw. I think when Ron had great ratings he had little micromanagement but once demos crashed ABC stepped in and he had a problem. I think ABC made the right choice it was time for a change. Love that ABC paid an eye on Jelly at Y&R and how they truly invented smart tv. IMO Ron was the best when Jean was on the writing team as soon as she left it went downhill IMO. Shelly is just a sweet little gem of a person who had a huge hand in writing Delias death wigh JG it was just beautiful haunting material. Jelly takes over August 10 they will probably continue some of Rons stuff and I bet they first air November sweeps. I don't see Frank going anywhere unless Ron showed up on another soap and he went to exec produce another soap.

Errol, great post. GH has never been worse, and that's Ron's doing. The show is a complete mess. Instead of trying to fix it, RC was on Twitter snarking and attacking and blocking -- and then getting his ass kissed by the biggest brown nosers in history. I pity the new writers having to mop up after this and trying to salvage anything. I honestly wouldn't know where to begin.

Smart TV definition: A program that doesn't set out to appear to the masses. One that is deep, complex, profound with psychological undertones and one that is complex. If you really pay attention u will respond with a wide range of emotions and ultimately makes u think.

Exactly the kind of show Jelly was headed toward until they were unjustly fired for a popcorn, spectacle, plot driven disaster of a mess for Pratt world.

    • It feels like the show hired Hank Northrop first and are still deciding what to do with him lol. I don't have a judgement on the character yet, but this non-story (so far) has been happening for at least a month and he's only made 2 appearances lol.
    • I know Anita mentioned that she no longer was investing in the trust, while Leslie had stated that the interest was multiplying at a decent rate... but I do have a feeling she'll wipe through the trust in a short amount of time with the amount of spending she's doing. The show always throws in tiny nuggets of foreshadowing and having Anita's remark and Eva warning her mother not to overdo the spending tells me that Leslie will be blowing through that money eventually.
    • I honestly don't care if Laura is friends with Sonny.  She's been friends with him for decades.  The way she goes about the friendship is stupid.   She has no sense of self-preservation or awareness about the optics of parading her friendship with Sonny around town.  She practically celebrates it.  There's no reason in the world she can't just keep the friendship low key and explain they share a grandchild and frame the relationship that way.  A lot of Laura's choices, like getting into a public fight with Dalton, just make her look silly and like a fairly incompetent mayor. Carly is another PC lady that's starting to look silly.  I know she's explained her plan a lot, but it's still stupid and moving at a glacial pace.  If Joss is 45 by the time her revenge plot unfolds, what's the point?  Just dump Brennen and move on please.
    • On that same note, it's astounding to have mobster Sonny in the same office with Mayor Laura chatting it up about their mutual grandson. Think about the reaction if John Gotti and Mayor Eric Adams had a friendship

      ?? I guess the Logic behind Sonny & Jason acceptance is like when i saw a documentary where FBI agents said they'd rather deal with the mafia than terrorists or cartels---they're the "lesser of 3 evils". Anyway I'm about 30 years late on this convo.
    • Im confused. Does Jessica know anything about June's relation to Tyrell? At the start of the episode, it seemed like June was gonna slip that he was her son but she caught herself but later in the episode she referred to him as "my boy" and Jessica had no reaction like that wasnt a surprise to her No, Anita was putting money in the account every 6 months but we werent told how much was in it when Leslie became a beneficiary. The show has set it up that it was multiplying based off the interest so that its really worth quite alot now. I dont buy it but thats what they've told us
    • What was the point in Lori's return as Mrs. Max Hollister? That little story never made much sense to me.  Were there plans for a permanent return? Or even a new family with her as the matriarch?  
    • I guess it depends on your device.  I can watch CW shows via their website on my Windows PC.
    • Ooooo A Liam episode? I'll watch it later today. They sure are churning the daily episodes out early.
