How can you say that since she was never a sole hW before. just because someone has a long soap history as a breakdown or script writer doesnt always translate into those writers being good head writers

It's been abysmal.

 

Mac/Felicia finally get an episode of airtime and it's having sex in the park caught by Aunt Stella. And why is Maxie on for an episode or two and then shipped off again?

 

They must have some extra cash after Jane Elliot left, we've seen Felix, Valerie, Mac, Felicia (the latter two were lucky to get one appearance a month and Mac went months and months without appearing) ...

 

Sam's story is ridiculously stupid. I don't care about Sonny and never will.

 

It was nice to see Bobbie and Monica I suppose. I'll take scraps when I can get them.

 

This exit story has me ready for Hayden to GO. It's really stupid they aren't sending Easton off too. But Budig was expendable? Yet now things have "worked out" with deVry? Easton sucks up a contract, Stafford sucks up a contract, Howarth sucks up a contract (and Howarth has NOT been missed while he's been off-screen, Franco adds NOTHING to the canvas).

 

Maura West has put in nice work but I don't care about Phantom of the Opera.

 

It's really a shame they have no idea what to do with Matt Cohen and Griffin. What a waste. Now he's stuck sharing scenes with Kaka (and it screams ridiculous to me that Dr. Bench is talking up her going to medical school and everyone's just falling all over themselves with how great she is. I like she has actual goals and wants a career but lawd ....) and Phantom of the Opera Ava, who he has no chemistry with, by the way.

 

Bet Nancy went begging Frank to work things out with deVry. She's only on when he is. LOL. Ridiculous.

 

Now that Spencer has mercifully been sent off again, bet Laura and Kevin go straight to the backburner and four episodes a month.

 

The problem is they don't make me care and the stories are abysmal.

Nope Jean and Shelly in October will wrap a 2 year run. Since they took over for Ron they boosted ratings, got rid of camp, brought vets back and had the brilliant Morgans death sequence. It was most riveting writing we had seen since 90s. None of the show was decimated or destroyed. The cherry on top is GH won best soap for 2016. Jean has an open door by Frank and Nathan. Any time any place she is bored with retirement. The cast and crew just loved her. Thats smart of ABC they keep GH consistent.

Lawd. You can't even mention the woman's name and her stalker comes out of the woodwork to defend her. It's like saying Beetlejuice three times.

 

I really really really want what you're smoking.

 

I do agree with you they haven't decimated or destroyed the show. It was slightly watchable but now it's a boring as all get out. It's typical Jean. Boring, not really offensive and not at all risky.

 

Please stop going on about who loves who. No one cares. You have no inside track.

    • Well, no new episode tomorrow, but you should do a catch up. It's worth it!
    • *Gavrilo Princip has entered the chat* I haven't watched BTG in approximately two months because of the busy season at work, but now it's summer, and I'll have time to get back into it. Do y'all think that I should do the 21st century binge-watching thing and attempt to catch up on everything I missed or should I do the traditional soap thing and just start watching again tomorrow and figure everything out from there?
    • A few days late but this made me holler so bad and immediately took.me back 29 years when I first saw this. I still remember thinking Rick and Phillip were going hold each other and dance together LOL. Rick being there at least makes some sense as he was A-M’s second cousin and the show still at least recognized he was half Bauer, at least until Hearst left.  The whole Universal Studios wedding was over the top. I think someone wanted A-M and Lucy to be the next GL super couple but once Hearst left the A-M recast flopped and both were gone by early ‘97 with Lucy never appearing ever again.    Love the rest of your post, summer 1996 was the first time GL left me feeing…greatly underwhelmed until it inspired righteous indignation on my behalf once we get to the Gilly twist.
    • You're right. I think she was seen as too subtle or reserved.  As @soapfan770I liked Sheila on LA Law but she wasn't needed here, especially as Charley as a character only made sense with a more reserved and less conventionally attractive actress.
    • That's certainly one way to put it!  What blather. Kind of tells you they knew it was going to fail. I guess they were just throwing anything at the schedule and hoping they would be pleasantly surprised. Thanks for the article.
    • I would guess it's down to Kate Oates. Bowden is very much her type of leading man. She repeated all the stories she did on Emmerdale with his Ben.  I also think EE has become conservative enough that only a white, straight-acting gay man is going to get story.
    • Desert Sun, 13 April 1985 ABC’s 'Dark Mansions’ Loretta Young quits movie LOS ANGELES (AP) - Loretta Young, citing “creative differences,” has withdrawn from her role as the family matriarch in “Dark Mansions,” an ABC movie and projected series, a spokesman for the actress said. The Academy Award-winning actress had been due to come out of retirement to begin work on the two-hour movie on April 22. The movie goes into production on Monday. “Loretta Young will not be rendering services because of creative differences over the story,” her agent, Norman Brokaw of the William Morris Agency said in a statement. “The parting between Miss Young and Aaron Spelling was amiable despite the story differences,” the statement said. Miss Young had been scheduled to play the role of Margaret Drake, the matriarch of a Seattle shipping family in “Dark Mansions,” a contemporary Gothic drama. There was no immediate word from either Aaron Spelling Productions or ABC who would replace Miss Young in the role. “It’s true that we had creative differences over the way her character was developing,” Spelling said in a statement released by a spokesman, David Horowitz. “She's a great star and a great friend and I hope she always remains both.” Miss Young won an Academy Award as best actress in 1948 for “The Farmer’s Daughter.” She was the star of 94 motion pictures and was the creator, producer and star of “The Loretta Young Show” during television’s so-called Golden Age Miss Young had been scheduled to work eight days out of the four week shooting schedule. The movie, a pilot for an ABC prime-time soap opera, also stars Michael York, who would make his series debut, Linda Purl, Paul Shenar, Melissa Sue Anderson, Raymond St. Jacques and Dan O’Herlihy. Miss Young s last film was “It Happens Every Thursday” in 1953. She then took the unprecedented step of retiring from films to produce and star in "The Loretta Young Show" on television. She won three Emmy awards as best dramatic actress in 1954, 1956 and 1958. She was also nominated five other times. The anthology show ran on NBC from 1953 to 1961. In the 1962-63 season she starred on NBC in a dramatic show called “The New Loretta Young Show.” As we know Joan Fontaine took on the role

    • I do think Ben should come back. I think Max Bowden is all wrong for Ben.
    • Thank you, been waiting so long for this, and I appreciate how much work it is typing this all out and creating the charts for us!
