GH: February 2016 Discussion Thread

[quartermainefan]

But he's fun.   Some of his hyperbolic OTT posts are really entertaining and for a long stretch there this thread had very little to say about the actual show and was enjoying discussing his posts--even taking the topic to other threads.    We know it's fake, no one talks like a quote from a movie review circa 1950,  but this guy does.   So just tip your hat to his creativity and laugh.

Putting him on ignore does wonders for this thread...

Mostly. You can still see that he posted and if he's being discussed by anyone as well as quoted. I took him off ignore for that simple fact, no real point. Sometimes it's good for a chuckle, most of the time it's annoying but they aren't going to do anything about it, so ....

Same Script, Different Cast: Are Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman Recycling Old #YR Storylines on #GH? http://daytimeconfidential.com/2016/02/17/jean-shelly-lack-creativity-gh-yr …

 

 

Uh yep!

Ha…glad I haven't watched GH the last two days. This is no surprise. I said all she does is repeat story lines..recycles them and they are boring to boot. Most if not all the stories she did on ATWT were repeats from AMC, her previous stint.

This angers me and is so false. First Jamey is bias toward Ron and he keeps saying how much more entertaining the show was. Ron was good first two years but his last six months sucked. Jelly have brought characters back, history is honored, umbrella storytelling that sweeps the entire cast and it's just not fair. Jean isn't ripping off stories completely maybe she borrows but she gives them a slight different twist. Ratings have been up six months. All people keep saying is how boring Jean and Shelly are. They are very passionate head writers who care about GH. They move at a slower pace then GH is used to but so what.

And you know this, how?

February sweeps 2016 has been a complete utter snoozefest. Tons of historical mistakes. Vets ignored or forgotten in order to force feed us pets. Characters having the same conversation ad nauseum. Jelly have the pacing of a snail that had a stroke. Queen Ron wasn't much better than Jelly their hackish styles are pretty similar.

Morgoon/Kaka/Dabney scenes are ridiculously bad....(I know her name is Darby for whomever feels the need to correct me).

I know everyone here can't stand Sonny, and I hate when he eats the show, but I do like his scenes with Avery.

U see Jelly is first writing duo to give a woman over 50 her own storyline. Julian and Alexis have their own wedding own story. Viewership has been up above 3 million multiple weeks. They stopped the bleeding. Ron and Jelly have very different styles. One is more campy plot cartoony stories while the other is much more character driven. Jelly aren't going anywhere they have proven themselves in almost 6 months.

Alexis' story is exactly what?  NLG has been playing supporting to the lesser, WDV, for a few years now.  
 

Seriously tho, what is Alexis' story?  Break it down for me, please.  

[victoria foxton]

Many other more talent Head Writer's have written for over 50 characters. Prime example  Bob/Kim/Susan on ATWT penned by the late great Douglas Marland. The Phoebe/Charles/Mona on AMC by legendary Agnes Nixon. Ron and Jelly are mostly the same in terms of style aside from Ron's Camp.All Alexis does is embarrassingly lust after Julian and act smug and condescending towards others. Jelly have not proven themselves and never will. GH is the same hot mess it was when Queen Ron was HW.

It doesn't do much good when other posters keep quoting him. Look how many times it has happened since you made this post. He's a troll, he wants attention and he gets plenty of it here.
