November sweeps for GH zzzzzzzzzzzzz

Sweeps used to mean secrets come out, nothing in Port Chuckles. 

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.

Franco is a pile of dog [!@#$%^&*] and should be removed Immediately.  I can't understand what people see in this actor.  I didn't like him as Todd, but that was far better than this mess.

I'm really surprised no one else asked this question, so I will.  At the end of the episode where Hayden passed out, candles burning went out and doors closed on their own.  Why?  What was up with that?  I thought, "Halloween has passed!"

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.  

 

 

Are you paid for these?

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 showRylan's not really the problem--the poor writing for her character sure is though.

Liz/Franco work well.  He's such a trooper, makes all the material work.  Loved his 10/31 performanceFranco/Liz is the worst "love" story I've ever seen on this show. He kidnapped her child--no mother would ever start dating this tool, Franco should have been written off years ago.

Kudos to Jelly for threading Monica in.

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  One of the few characters/actors they've brought in that is semi-watchable

11/2 episode.  There should have been a pic of Lucille/Jesse alongside Steve.  The hospital wouldn't have run without the nurses station.  Considering the writers, we're lucky we got Steve

The tall African American dude playing Curtis turned out to be a bad actor. Get rid of him. Donnell Turner has chemistry with everyone 

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.  Don't stick Y&R with her. She should visit Hallmark's offices to find a deal.

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.  Start with Julian, KIKI, Franco,Nina, Valerie, Nathan

 

 

 

I am so over GH because they have so many character's and stories going that when they should really take advantage of those resources they simply don't. Why wasn't Lucas at his Sister's wedding and why wasn't he at his Nephew's funeral? It was just dumb and I am over it.

Lucas and Brad are afterthoughts to these writers. Lucas should be in the ER or involved with medical stories. Griff was his medical school friend, yet they haven't had a scene since Griffin arrived.

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? 

Hopefully gone never to return.  They write Liz like crap with sanctimonious Lucky around...No thanks but then I haven't been a loyal viewer in five years so what do I know.

Those writers are long gone, as should be the writers now. Elizabeth's been on forever and her only good co stars  in years were Sen Kanan and Ric Hearst. This crap with Howarth is awful.

Sonny making Morgan's funeral all about him.  Lord almighty! Mo was really chewing the scenery. Same old nonsense as usual

 

It was a phenom episode very sad full of emotion and Maurice was fab.
