You don't need to know a fellow human to be caring towards them.  All the time friends ask me to pray for someone and it's often times a person I never met or even heard of.  I do so because I know I would feel good if I knew someone were praying for me in hard times.  Going by your logic, people shouldn't volunteer at homeless shelters because, after all, nobody knows who those people are.

I've been watching/following GH since the early 1980's.  This show in no way resembles GH.  Even when Phelps and Guza drove me away from daily viewing it still had the bones of GH. Now it's just bland, generic, boring and lifeless.  It's also broken.  No one seems like the same character at their core.  For the first time since the very late 1990's, so many favorites stop by but at this point there is nothing to them.  I don't want anyone but the EP and writers to lose their jobs, but I wouldn't be upset if the show were to be cancelled at this point.

 

What is the point of seeing Laura, Scotty, Lucy, Anna, Tracy, Monica, Kevin, Felicia, Bobbie, if they are shells of themselves, and given the most basic stories and production to work with?

No I dont like GH and yes I unapolgetically want it cancelled. If anyone doesn't like that, then boohoo. Id rather it be put out of its misery rather than fumble around like some one-legged zombie from The Walking Dead. Its barely a soap. Its a soulless husk that should have ended years ago

I'm not some cold unfeeling person. You don't know me and never will. Were chatting about a destroyed soap opera. Which will never be repaired. In my opinion GH should be cancelled. I can't bear to watch obnoxious forced upon us characters. I can't bear to watch cheap sets darkly lit. Plots that have huge holes. The Webber/Hardy family should be front and center. Felicia, Mac, Robert , Lucas and Bobbie should also be front and center. Not making random appearances every once in a blue moon. GH should be about healers not killers. I'm a geek gay guy who thinks with his heart. I'm not some cold unfeeling  monster. This soap is a low rated joke. If you don't agree with me that's fine. It would be a boring world if everyone had the same opinion. I'm sorry if came off too strong. It's a sad fact that not everyone of the 300 behind the scenes ppl will find a job. I have no power over GH being cancelled. But sooner or later it will due to incompetence.

I hope the new person in charge does cancel GH. As for those working at GH…..after seeing all the cancellations of soaps they(the workers not actors) should know working at a soap these days isn't permanent employment.

like welcome to the real world. Soaps are the one of the rare form of scripted television that has this kind of longevity. Most shows last a few years at best and those in the industry never hold a stable job for too long. The crew behind the scenes will likely have an easier time finding work than the actors so it isnt all gloom and doom if the show is axxed

Exactly I'm sure alot of them have money saved up until they find a next job and its not like those working full time aren't getting benefits like the rest of us "regular": folk and dont have options. People kill me with that ish! You say you want a soap canceled because its beyond garbage at this point and you're suddenly evil and wanting people to lose their jobs. 

Quoted for emphasis

    • Watching the cult of Fetterman collapse is one of the few political bright spots for me. The best part  is watching all the people who built him up now decide they want to tear him down. I'll be fascinated to see how this ends for him. https://buckscountybeacon.com/2025/05/pennsylvanias-democratic-senator-john-fetterman-raises-alarms-with-outburst-at-meeting-with-union-officials/

    • Long ago, this Rachel fan channel uploaded a number of clips of Rachel with Felicia during the alcoholism story, and this one in particular stands out for me.

      And then you have this scene, which is the dark mirror of the above, especially the final moment: By the late '80s, especially after Wallingford's death, those times were gone, and Donna Swajeski added further misery to Felicia with the Gold Street backstory. Luckily, after a bit of time the show found a good framing for this new twist on Felicia. The stories with finding and losing a love from her past, learning that a woman she hated was the daughter she'd spent years searching for, sinking into alcoholism, they all fit into the type of material suited for the '40s and '50s screen goddesses.  When Dano tried some of this old weepy type of material when she went back to ABC, it mostly fell flat, as the atmosphere wasn't the same and her character always felt shoehorned in. It worked perfectly at this period on AW because you had Iris, you had Rachel, you had Donna - you had a number of tough-but-vulnerable women of a certain age, most of them grandmothers by this point, but still trying to find love, find themselves. This is what AW could have had earlier if they hadn't dumped Pat and Alice, but better late than never. This is an approach you saw more often on British soaps than on US soaps, which for a number of years respected women in that age group. Both UK and US soaps have done away with this, both countries having the ladies devolve into perpetual ingenues (with added doses of endlessly self-aware camp in the UK) or just being shipped off entirely.  You could even see that on AW with the treatment of Iris (shipped off, never to be mentioned again, too old to return), Donna (repeatedly humiliated and crippled), Felicia (regressed into degrading herself with married John), Rachel (mother to newborn twins, put into lengthy periods of trauma through her new relationship with Carl). 
    • I'm of a certain age where I caught some of Upton's final year and it was not great but Jean Holloway was worse. All I remember is Bambi, Bambi, Bambi!
    • Yes, of course, all of those servants added to the overall picture at AW & also people had relationships with those servants! I like it when Anita asks after one of the servants at the club, how their children are doing & like that. 
    • Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.
    • Might as well say it, Minority opinion, granted, but I like Joss & I'm okay with this WSB story & i hope that Emma will be their next recruit & she & Joss can be partners.
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

    • According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.
