Should JFP return to GH as EP?

I always assumed (perhaps incorrectly) that the only reason Jane didn't get marginalized during Jill's tenure like the rest of the Q's did is because Tony Geary wanted to work with her. So it would be Jill trying to appease Geary rather than having any personal interest in whether Jane was on or not.

    The only reason anyone would want JFP back is because they actually liked and prefer the garbage that was the GH she was associated with.     As we saw, the moment she got to Y&R she recruited Pratt--the worst writer soaps ever saw--and Steve Burton to the show to weave their special magic.   It must have been a powerful spell indeed because she got herself fired.   Anything that repudiates JFP's presence on a show is a good thing.   Y&R should not only fire her, they show should Pratt, Burton and Thompson the door next.     Since her taste is uniquely bad and all her decisions are perpetually wrong, the new regime needs to just erase all traces of her having ever been on Y&R.  GH was doing right for a while there, but then RC and FV made the mistake and backtracked into the mob...and GH hasn't been good ever since.

 

I am surprised there aren't posts asking for Frons to come back.   It's the same thing.

No. No she should not return. I don't like Frank either, but for me he's the lesser of the two evils. Frank seems to be shooting himself in the foot again, so I'm sure, unless GH ends soon, that he'll be out, but that's if they're paying attention and care. Throwing Pissy and Altman in there as HW's tells me they don't.

 

However, in terms of lighting and the look of the show? I'd welcome JFP back to simply fix that and not do anything else. The show looks so cheap and trashy under Frank.

That should NEVER be forgiven.  Georgie's death was unnecessary also, and I could not stand her.  The wrong Jones girl died.  

 

 

Frank a better EP?  Why because JFP focused on the characters you didn't like?  Her soaps had complete coherent NON CHEAP stories.  Yes, she has her challenges, but please call me when what's left of her entire cast is supporting to a bunch of worthless newbies, Howarth, Staff, Easton (on character #5), Miller, etc.  Poorly conceived trash characters and the worst actors ever!  On any given day, any scene has more newbies than real GH characters.  The show is cheap, the "stories" make no sense and way too much time and effort is put into making these failed friends of Frank work on GH.  They don't!  Oh, and record low ratings?  Canceled shows had much better #s than this current GH trash.  

 

Frank isn't a better anything!

I think killing Alan was just as bad as killing Maureen.  Guiding Light was the kind of show that needed Maureen.  Once Steve Hardy was gone, GH needed Alan.  They were not the same type of character, but it always gave the hospital an important tie to a major family.  It gave hospital storylines stakes.

it looks awful.  His OLTL looked better.  The sets, the lighting, the colors.  It's dreadful.

    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that these were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol

You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.

    • I have to check out his Bela Garody on Search for tomorrow. He was one of the main reasons EON worked for me when I was watching. Truly unforgettable presence. Handsome in the most perverse and sinister way. They don't make faces like that anymore. 
    • My favorite moment in SOAPDISH is the HW taking the star to the mall in NJ to improve "morale"!! 
    • Oh no! The shoulder pads! I will mourn them when they're gone. Please tell me the head pieces and hats remained!?
