Wendy Riche--Left the business, and is probably out to stay.  Unless they offer her a boatload of moolah, which in today's environment, is highly unlikely.  I think she is GH's best ever producer.  I know everyone worships the late Gloria Monty, but, I liked Wendy's version of the show much better.  Wendy's version had the heart that I like to watch in a soap.  Gloria's version, less so.

Gary Tomlin--An efficient, dependable choice who knows soaps very well.  I'd like to see him as a writer's consultant rather than a producer, because he is creative.

Lisa DeCazotte--Out of this list, she is my favorite choice if they would actually can FV.  While Days fans were not enthusiastic about the program under her watch, her work on "Passions" and "General Hospital Nightshift" proves that she can turn out a quality product provided she has a good writer to work with her.

Chris Goutman--While he did work with JP for a long time, what disturbs me about him was his inability to keep cast veterans happy.  For that reason alone, I think he should stick with his awesome talent for direction.  There is no denying he is a good director.

Julie Carruthers--While she is a talented producer, her weakness seems to be finding story that will resonate with her audience.  If she could find a partner who has their finger on the pulse of what viewers really want, I don't see why she couldn't do a good job.

However, and I probably stand alone in this, I think FV still deserves a chance to redeem himself.  I think anyone who falls off track should be given a chance to fix things and come back stronger.  That is what I'd really like to see.  I think he has it in him.

    • I'm all for it. Get them Nina! 
    • I am blown away that Christie Clark is 51, and she debuted 39 years ago. They gave her a lovely script today.  But, I could not think of any other examples in culture of someone able to jump right back into the skin of a character, after virtually retiring from acting years ago. I was trying to recall if Carrie left for a bit with Anna after Roman died (because she wasn't at Bo & Hope's wedding), and then returned as a pre-teen Christie?  Or if she was just SORASed off-screen?  But, whenever I see the character I am reminded how much more trauma she's endured than Sami, and yet she remains such a nice person.
    • Weirdly I feel like Nina was the most sus about the entire situation.  Normally I would have given this one to Carly, but Nina was always kind of trying to make it make sense. I think Nina (and Alexis) are actually really smart characters.  They just constantly get in their own way with dumb plans lol.
    • Rewatching some of 1991 I had to appreciate what a strong week March 5-12 1991 was. Cassandra dies, Nina shoots David, Sheila switces the babies, and drunk Nikki all occurring simultaneously. 1991 and 92 were pretty strong overall.
    • Still loving all the Gio fallout, but the scenes that really surprised me this episode were the ones with Nina and Maxie. I was not expecting Nina to be the one to put together all the pieces about Sasha's baby daddy. This custody hearing is about to get explosive!
    • I really hope after the secret comes out their interactions don't stop
    • BAHAHA  I needed that laugh today. Talk about one note.  I would put Derek and Ashley a notch above Dani. Dani's scenes are basically rinse, lather, and repeat for 60 episodes and counting.  It's as if she was transported from the soap opera Passions onto this soap.  MVJ should put aside her friendship/admiration for Karla and look at the fact that this character isn't wroking as written.
    • Agreed.  It doesn't feel in character at all.
    • You could always tell whenever Douglas Marland enjoyed writing for a particular actor, because he'd pull out all the stops for them; and Julianne Moore was no exception.
    • I'm sorry, but I just can't get past the fact that it was Lois, of all people, who deceived so many people.  No matter how hard Rena Sofer tries to justify Lois' actions - and boy, does she work hard! - it just isn't something Lois would've done.
