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 a smart literary reference in my soap dialogue, but I just laughed at that *picks up book* Martin: "Ralph Ellison--The Invisible Man."  Smitty: "I see you"

    • I don't think Sandra Ferguson was fantastic but I thought she did well enough with the story she was given. She had chemistry with RKK and with Charles Grant and made it understandable why Amanda was torn between the two men. RKK leaving hurt the story but beyond that they didn't try hard enough to make Evan a viable character. After he was written out we just got the triangle with Olivia, which also wasn't viable because they wanted us to root for Sam/Amanda long after viewers had stopped caring.
    • Well at one point Aaron's contract with ABC guaranteed a new series on the schedule each year. I guess once his contract was up he was out the door. It would have been a huge financial commitment and as tastes changed and Aaron didn't ,ABC couldn't see the value. Spelling did have a number of flops along the way.  He always brought up Family as a counter to the criticism that his output was trashy but that's because Family was the only show among many that wasn't  trashy.
    • Passions also did this with Ethan and Sam...probably some other soaps (Billy and Dylan on GL, maybe). I am blanking through fatigue.
    • A-la Sonny shooting "Dominic", a.k.a. Dante... just, minus Dante shooting Gio.
    • Amanda getting pregnant didn't help character development and long term harmed the Sam and Amanda relationship. If this story came to be in 1984,  thoughts on Mary Page Keller playing Amanda instead of Sally and her husband Thomas Ian Griffith playing Sam instead of Catlin. And Jack Wagner as Evan. 
    • It's like all the K-Dramas or C-Dramas where the mother-in-law hates the daughter-in-law who's supposedly from a poor or less than privileged background, only to find out she's the long-lost chaebol daughter from an even richer family.  Maybe someone in the writer's room watches them like I do (mostly the recaps on YouTube) and decided to do that with a male slant? All kidding aside, this is par for the course in soaps where someone you think you hate turns out to be the family you never knew you had. Haha.
    • It's frustration the way Dante was acting. You truly don' t Jordan, I see. LOL!!  I really liked Briana Henry in the role.
    • The failure in communication is one-sided, and not mine. Despite being told repeatedly by me and others that what you may have read on other message boards, Facebook, Instagram, X (formerly Twitter), and/or any other social media site, including those you apparently run, does not make the information true, nor should it be posted here on the SON Community whatsoever. If there's something you've seen/read elsewhere that is newsworthy and from a valid source, there's nothing wrong with sharing/linking to that source. This includes linking to articles from other websites like Deadline, Us Weekly, Soap Opera Digest, EW, PEOPLE, etc. For instance, if any of the aforementioned websites reported that Tabyana Ali renewed her contract, link to that site reporting the news and/or an interview discussing it. Ditto, if Tabyana Ali said something about her contract on social media.  Just saying "apparently," while providing no source other than your statement, does not make it so. This includes if you read it by someone on any social media site other than an official outlet's post, the actress in question, or the show that employs her.  Related, your use of the word "apparently" isn't the key issue here. It's the continued posting of misinformation and the nonchalant sharing of personal information, specifically medically, about real-life people. You KNOW what I'm talking about!
    • I like Brook Kerr. I think she plays Portia exactly the way she's supposed to be. With that being said, GH has thrown Portia under the bus from day one. The woman has suffered and made bad decisions all through her tenure.
