I have to agree.  What kind of sweeps month is this when absolutely nothing happens except wailing over Morgan's death?  Yes, it was tragic, but someone should tell these self absorbed characters that life goes on, and try paying attention to those who are still around.  I'm completely underwhelmed so far.

Catching up on GH

Valentini's production values continue to be impressive.  

Loved Laura's outfit on 10/31 episode. Why isn't she the centerpiece of the show?  Like Kevin but Laura needs someone more dynamic.  What about Finn?  

Actor playing Valentine sucks.  His mannerisms are weird.  Any scene involving him is so over the top

Emmy Rylan has to go. The Pam Anderson persona is so irritating after all these years; she's never been Lulu. One of the worst recasts on this show

Liz/Franco work well.  He's such a trooper, makes all the material work.  Loved his 10/31 performance

Kudos to Jelly for threading Monica in.  

Love the actress playing Nelle.  Now hire the dude who played young Luke

Love some of the beats they play i.e. Anna/Robin mother daughter scenes. 

Stop with the Griff character; they've thrown the kitchen sink at him: priest, doctor, father etc. None of it's working.  He can't act. He's no Patrick/JT

11/2 episode.  There should have been a pic of Lucille/Jesse alongside Steve.  The hospital wouldn't have run without the nurses station.

The tall African American dude playing Curtis turned out to be a bad actor. Get rid of him.

No, no, no. Not crazy Nina again.  Cut your losses, increase your budget and let Stafford go back to YR now that Alden/Morina are in charge.  Love her, Nina a failed character.

Dialog has improved. Andrea Archer Comptom scripts usually rock.

They need to trim the stories to A,B,C and get rid of the extraneous characters.

Have you watched Days of Our Lives to see cheap production values and horrid costumes (check out Dario's members only grey jacket he's worn every day for six months)?  Valentini is doing a great job in that regard.

Donnell cannot act, period; neither can Matt Cohen as Griff.

Agree that Franco/Liz is a sick pairing but all the shows have abhorrent male leads who've committed heinous crimes and are the heroes day after day.  Roger is a gem.  

Emmy Rylan is awful; she always has been.  Given her size/voice and appearance she can really only play a certain type. Her tough act with these GH serial killers is embarrassing.

Roger has not been a "gem" in many years (except his brief turn on OLTL 2.0 on Prospect Park. Other than that he's just Hammy-Todd ---through his ATWT stint til now. He should never been brought back as Franco---a serial killer played by an actor well above his pay grade)As for Ninny--the two should marry and leave town--neither character has gelled with the cast

 

Turner has chemistry with Budig, Antoine--even the off putting Stafford and Sarpy. Hell, he even worked in scenes with Easton

 

Again, a serious head writer and executive producers could whip the show into shape, if anyone cared. The execs at ABC don't care and we remain watching godawful stories.

 

With Elizabeth's past story coming back to haunt her...now is the time for a hero--not a zero to be on her side...where's Lucky?

      Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.

      I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined

      The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.

      No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

      I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.

      You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
