Members John Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) If they replace Frank would you want to promote Mary Kelly Weir https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1222066/ Mercer Barrows https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0057896/ Michelle Henry https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1928189/?ref_=nv_sr_1?ref_=nv_sr_1 Or try to get Wendy Riche back Or someone new to GH like Ed Scott, Gary Tomlin, Ginger Smith or Jennifer Pepperman Thoughts? Ideas??? Edited June 23, 2019 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marlenaphan Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 It would be nice if they got Riche back but I don’t see it happening. They’d probably promote Tomlin since he’s already there as a director and has EP experience. Horrible choice, though. He’s JFP levels of bad.

Members John Posted June 23, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 I like your ideas but has Racina been an EP? Also I liked Nightshift S2 so maybe Lisa DeCozette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) What exactly would be the reason to promote any of the GH names you mention up front to EP? What do any of us know they have done that would suggest they should be the new EP? What is the difference between Barrows or Weir, or Henry and Barrows? "They're already on staff and their names were in the credits" is not a credible answer unless this is a very binary challenge that is simply 'promote anyone from within, just because I can read IMDB.'

Members John Posted June 23, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) Of the three i mentioned for promotion Id pick Barrows just based on GH history. He began there in 1981 as art director then joined Port Charles as Producer for its entire run then back to GH as producer ever since. So Barrows should know history the best Edited June 23, 2019 by John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eboneece Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 I’d take JFP back. I loathed her Y&R because she didn’t understand its aesthetic, but she is a much better fit for GH. The show looks bad and doesn’t match with the quality writing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted June 23, 2019 Author Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 Regardless of what we feel about FV, JFP would be worse. She would cut everyone and it would be The Sonny-Jason-Carly hour. No Thanks. Hopefully ABC wouldnt try or hopefully JFP is done with daytime in her own right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marlenaphan Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 The bitch would fire Genie again. No thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 No one fired Genie (in 2002), she walked on her own accord when ABC wouldn’t give her the same vacation time as Tony Geary. She felt she and him were equals and deserved the same deal. Also, the producer that badgered Genie about her weight was the late Carol Scott, not JFP. The only soap JFP explicitly fired Genie from was Y&R and DESERVEDLY so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Marlenaphan Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 Jill forced her out at GH. Jill orchestrated that. Genie’s Y&R dismissal was a blessing because it allowed her to return to GH for the 50th. I wonder if JFP realized that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 Based on what though? No one forced Genie to walk and unfortunately for her, ABC never showed her the the same respect as Geary (predating JFP at GH). I can’t speak to what was orchestrated as none of us were there and Genie has had only complementary things to say about JFP in the press. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 It was pretty obvious JFP wanted Genie out. Heck she acted like she wanted all women over 30 out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BetterForgotten Posted June 23, 2019 Members Share Posted June 23, 2019 (edited) How much of that was Angela Shapiro, Brian Frons and Bob Guza though? Under Frons, those ABC soaps were micromanaged and the EPs didn’t always make the final decisions. Edited June 23, 2019 by BetterForgotten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
