I actually like Emme Rylan as Lulu, but I don't care one way or the other.  I would keep Haley Pullos.   I like her.  I would probably keep Felix, TJ, Joss, Ava, Michael, and Kiki off that list posted by @vetsoapfan.  I also don't mind Maxie, but I am a party of one being a Jen Lilley as Maxie fan.

Truth be told, I would be satisfied just to slice off the most revolting and abrasive characters: Sonny, Jason, Carly, Sam, Franco, Nina, Ava, Finn, Spinelli.

 

If we could axe those people permanently, I'm sure I could force myself to tolerate everyone else.

God.

 

So dumb.

 

They're just throwing things together and seeing what can stick.

 

Truth. Lots of folks need to be shown the door. But Frank just keeps adding and adding. And dropping other actors left and right or letting them leave. He sucks. (And people on The Twitter have no problem calling him out, but he continues to do the same [!@#$%^&*] - so we're not alone in despising what the show is becoming and who they're focusing the attention on). Unfortunately deVry and Howarth have RABID stans. I'm tired of stans dictating shows.

 

Not saying Ron was blameless, his GH became a disgusting hot mess and I cheered his firing, but Frank has clearly been the real problem. Same for Varni. Both have to go. But then again, it could also always get worse

A lot of Ron's final year at GH was interference by Varni and actors wanting to dictate stories

 

Varni is a mini Frons still is and thats why GH is so messed up

 

I like the teens if they gave them stories and not just be reactory to other stories

I think Josslyn and the new Cameron have a lot of potential, personally. I'm meh on Oscar. The actor seems nice and I like his laid back persona but I need a little more from him, lol.

 

I agree Varni is a Mini-Frons. He's awful and gets little attention in terms of how bad GH is. He and Frank are toxic for the show. I think Varni is more to blame, actually, but Frank sucks. Though like I said it could always get even worse so let's try canning Varni and see how Frank does without him. 

 

Ron's final year definitely had tons of interference. I also think he sort of gave up. It felt like he was forced to write for a lot of people and not what he wanted to write. I still have my issues with his writing but the problems really were from Frank and Varni.

 

lol yep.

 

I think a lot of it is Varni with some of it from Frank. Varni probably gets all hot and bothered hiring as many former soap actors as he can. I don't know that Frank cares as much as some think he does but I think he cares more than Varni. Not that Frank isn't also a problem.

The next four days are going to be reruns.  Why not use episodes from the original Kevin/Ryan story? I hate watching Franko, Nina, Julian, Kiki, Finn in new episodes. The very last thing I would do is watch these f*cks in reruns.

The Ryan story was riveting, and was my favorite story featuring Felicia.  That is staying a lot, because although my family watched GH, I didn’t really start paying attention until Frisco pulled that hat off Felicia during her debut.  They were what made me watch because I wanted to, not just because it was on.

The flashbacks bought back a piece of GH that hasn't been seen in a VERY LONG TIME.... I only wish we could get the original writers, producers and directors from the early 90's and bring the show back to the glory years. I remember all those scenes. I was in Elementary school and would watch it with my mom before I did my homework. The death scene is still creepy as hell.

    • Bizarrely, while I didn't see it, I distinctly remember my younger sister telling me. We were walking to the store, and at the top of the hill she let out "Roger raped Holly", and I swear I remember it echoing for what seemed like forever. She would've been five at the time.  I know,,,which I find extraordinary. I have toyed with the idea of watching Another World for Maeve, Kathleen Widdoes and Beverlee. But watching Vanessa call Emma Snyder "momma" kinda weirded me out. LOL. I believe that's what I read in the recaps from the time as well. I meant, I couldn't quite believe that the audience wouldn't understand that a woman preparing to go to her engagement party  was raped. I know that on ATWT John raped Kim while they were married, resulting in Andy, but I think they shied away from calling that marital rape.
    • I have my fingers crossed for a baby to be named Monica Michelle & called Monica. And, yes, I do realize that is not equal to having her onscreen but, like you said & of course a recast is unthinkable. 
    • I would love to have Monica on screen. Leslie Charleson has died. She played the role for 46 years. Monica should pass as well. No one is going to accept a long-term recast for Monica, no matter how great  the actress they could get.
    • Coming into June...   It just occurred to me that seeing Carter/Hope engaged that there was something missing. Oh, yeah! DAPHNE. I missed a few episodes, but she left, right? So is Ridge going to be the spoiler for Carter/Hope now? I felt that Daphne/Carter/Hope had more legs to it. But I guess we will see.   I did enjoy that show circling back around to Luna/Will/Electra. Katie was spitting nothing, but truth. Same for Sheila. And it's good to see Luna vs Electra, and they gave off more adversary chemistry this time around versus when they were at Deacon's.    I was happy to see Liam reduced to C plot.
    • To bring over from the May Sweeps Thread from @Chris B   I know the fashions have gotten mixed reviews but I actually like what the new costume designer is putting the cast in. It feels more modern and the more tacky pieces I feel make sense for rich people. They're buying for the brand and the price and we often see celebs in things like this. Especially for a character like Nikki, I feel the more over the top (and tacky), the more realistic it is.   I agree. While it has been hit and miss no question, I have found it fascinating to watch what the costume designer is attempting to do with the various characters and their clothes. Some have been overdue. Some have been fascinating. But (outside of Billy) not boring to watch. I definitely find it more modern as well.   My growing issue has been it's not good that the best reason to watch Y&R as of late has been to see what people are wearing rather than the writing. It feels like a red flag.
    • Haha. The fact that I stopped regularly viewing at the same time and know what you are talking about is chef's kiss.    I'm slowly bingewatching Nurse's Ball Week. But it's slow for me because a lot of the same tics and writing flaws for me that made me throw up my hands is still evident *cough*CVE*cough* Thankfully, there are some things I like also and from a glance in the GH May Thread, it seem like it had a good Sweeps with good fallout. And do I even need to mention Nina finally slapping the taste out of Carly's mouth? See? Regardless of her flaws, I do enjoy Korte-headed episodes over CVE-headed episodes because they always seem to have more emotional resonance to long-time fans.
    • And that charity does still get mentioned from time to time. I want to say the last time was some time this year, too. 
    • Oh, no. Vernon has definitely had his moments.   Choose silence anyone?
    • Search YT for Edwyn Sanchez, he posted an AI enhanced episode of ATWT and it is beautiful.
