Last week, the news broke that Ron Carlivati has been let-go by ABC the head writer of General Hospital. You took to Twitter with a very nice tweet and thank you to Ron. What are your thoughts on Rons departure and his contributions to GH?

LAURA: The Ron and Frank (Valentini) team saved General Hospital, period. Ron came in and made changes that needed to be done. He brought back core characters that had not been seen forever that the audience just loved. The first characters that pop into my head are Lucy Coe (Lynn Herring) and Felicia (Kristina Wagner) especially Lucy with the Nurses Ball. Frank is definitely a huge part of that as well, and I am not taking anything away from Frank, who is still there and tirelessly working for us. I love Ron. I love him personally, and there is nothing more fun that sitting next to Ron at the Daytime Emmys! (Laughs) I adore him, and his writing, and his talent, and its all there. I wish him the best. Ron is so talented, and so I am just calling this a nice break for him, because I am sure Ron is going to kick ass somewhere else.

What do you think about the incoming co-head writing team of Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante? This time its two women who will be charged with the task of keeping things interesting and kicking in Port Charles.

LAURA: Im excited to see what happens. They have a job and they are writing General Hospital now, and so the reality is its already underway, and so bring it on! Lets see whats next. I have been doing daytime for 24 years. and when I was on Loving in my first 7 years there, I think we went through 4 head writers and 5 producers. Stuff like this happens, and you just keep going. I look at the change as a positive thing. I got to work under Ron for 3 years and his writing, and before that it was the legendary Bob Guza, and now its going to be two women, which is awesome. I just look it as experience, after experience, af


Laura Wrights take on the Ron Carlivati. It's clear they are close friends. She said Ron saved GH. I am excited about her excitement for Jelly.

She loves him cause he wrote for her.

She ignores that Bobbie Felicia and Lucy are basically window dressing now

The thing is Ron will probably leave Jelly some story threads to move foward with. I would like to see some epic romance on GH. I honestly think a powerful storyline would be Tracy getting breast cancer instead of Liz now. Tracy has found out she's terminal it would be very sad but heart provoking storyline.

Jonnysboro, what's your deal with a breast cancer storyline? We've seen it a thousand times on the soaps, yet you're pushing it as an example of your Smart TV crap.

I do not want a revamped GH to include a breast cancer story, or any other kind of cancer. Jelly didn't exactly wow me with their Michael Baldwin prostate cancer story on YR.

True. I do agree that he needs a long break from daytime so he can reflect on what he did that was successful and what he did that was a mess ... which was a lot.

Break, schmake. Ron Carlivati needs to leave professional writing altogether and pursue another line of work.

That's not up to her.

:lol:

Well he was supposedly an attorney before pursuing writing. You think he should take that back up again?

Can you imagine his reaction every time he lost a case? Crying and caring on and so on like Twitter Land.

He could sell glow-in-the-dark lubricants for all I care. Just keep him away from anything that has anything at all to do with writing. Including gay porn.

And please keep him away from people.

I'm sure he's made enough money to go back to idolizing and cyberstalking pictures of his idea of "celebrities" on his fancy apple laptop while collecting from the unemployment office.
