U critcize Olivia return before she gets here. Its going to be juicy and connects to a major umbrella storyline. If u want crap and the worst soap i have ever endured go watch Sallugs YR. NLG has been killer here. Its the story of the year. Bobbie has returned to all kinds od awesomeness thanks to Jelly. I cant wait for the nelle secret to explode thats another umbrella storyline.

My issue with GH is that you see the stories and their conclusions coming from a mile away. The last good story was the fluke story but RC changed it cause we figured Fluke was Bill Eckert

 

Just tell the story you were initally gonna tell. Have the balls to follow through

Once again the troll makes a false statement. There's plenty I have liked. Bobbie's inclusion in the Nelle story being one of them. But said troll will always praise what we find bad. It's what he does. Wash rinse and repeat. We can't escape it because he somehow always ends up getting a response. Including this one. Blocking does no good.

Pissmelly are going to make a mess of every story because they follow ValenVarni's direction. I have zero doubts the return of Olivia Jerrome will be anything but a "propfest" to make Droolian look good. 

 

Alexis' story would matter to me if the last two years weren't wasted on this crap with Droolian. Julexis has destroyed the character 1000x more than her one night stand with Sonny ever did. I feel bad for NLG, it would take a miracle worker to salvage Alexis at this point

 

Ninny and the child of the corn scenes are irritating. Valentin/Anna scenes are the only time I pay attention to the Valentin story, and JPS is way too good to be trapped with the Red Menace.

As long as Varni is micro managing GH we will never see writers true vision.

Claire Labine & Agnes Nixon could be Co-HW's & Varni would make them write what HE Wants

 

He may be more friendly with fans but he is another Frons

I agree 100% @slick jones!

 

I think NLG sees this story as Alexis's redemption/salvation and while she's playing the hell out of it, and she's not the problem, the circumstances and story surrounding it are trash.

 

I have no doubts Olivia will be trashed for Julian so he can continue to play hero. It's no different than Sonny always coming out shining like a rose or being treated like a victim.

 

I agree Varni is a problem but so is Frank. Smelly are writing basic soap opera. They're getting by and focusing on who they're told to focus on. I doubt much comes from them. There's a reason casuals have #GHVetsOverFranksPets as a hashtag. And he's aware of it.

 

But then you look at the comments on Twitter and Facebook and you see why they're writing the way they are. It's disheartening to say the least.

I think soap writers are always incensed if viewers either find out or figure out their next move.  Nothing new there.  In GH's early days, the plan was for Audrey to die from lymphoma, but it got leaked to the press.  So, the pissed off Hursleys changed direction.  I think Henry Slesar was probably the best writer at throwing viewers off track, but I think Slesar had said something about throwing "blue herrings" into a story, because sharp viewers too easily sniffed out the "red herrings"!  But, coming back to the issue here, yes, I agree, a writer should stick to the story they meant to tell and have the guts to follow through, because I think in soaps, a coherent framework is key.  My personal sticking point with Jelly is that "Paul is the serial killer" garbage.  The sad point with that one was, there was no plan to begin with.  They started the story and then tried to pin the killings on a character they chose later.  That is not forming a coherent framework, and definitely, no way to write a mystery!  But, that's last year's news.  They better not screw up the Valentin-Anna connection, or I will litter this thread with as much Jelly hate as Jonny litters it with his Jelly love.

    • lol he sounds like he's speaking as Randy    
    • 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
    • Oh wow. Thanks so much for sharing!!!
    • 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.
    • Bo has a bad history with kids named Zach. (too soon?)
