I had no idea he was coming so I was pretty shocked to see him in the previews, lol. I can't wait. 

 

The show has been watchable, IMO, and almost entertaining since Nikolas' return on Halloween. Lots of things to fix, but I'm liking the direction at the moment. Feels like they're writing character based stuff. Not deep, mind you. So I guess watch with expectations in check, lol. Pets are still around but the tone is slowly changing. Lots of history mentions lately too.

 

The women don't seem to be being punished anymore. Ava has her spark back, for instance; Maxie may get to see Georgie full time (and she seems to want to break free of Nina and Crimson finally) ... Nina isn't a pathetic doormat, though still useless despite Watros ... Brook Lynn has been a refreshing addition. Having Tracy back helps too. They're trying with Lulu but Rylan is ... sigh. It's kinda interesting two men can write better for women than two women did ...

lol yep

 

lol I know. it would never fail. It still has faults but I find it far more watchable and I see little improvements. Lots of work left to be done but I see potential. I'm crossing my fingers. Pets still exist, unfortunately. It does feel like they dropped the Sonny and Carly are matriarch and patriarch of Port Charles [!@#$%^&*]. So just lots of little things I see being addressed. And they're actually wrapping up stories and moving things. It feels slightly more cohesive. I do see a difference but it was getting pretty bad so we had to go up ... right? lol

I blame it on the the abilty of the two head writers to get along and this all started after Dan joined on so even better. 

Good to know. I might squeeze some time in after work or tomorrow. 

I can't believe they got Taggert back. Just...wow.

Taggert coming back was a surprise. Goes to show you how good things can be when a show keeps their spoilers under wraps. 

 

It's also good to have a LEO on the show who's not so chummy with Sonny or Jason #takeahintJordan.

 

Hopefully, he won't be destroyed as a character just to make Sonny look good.

Glad I'm not the only one to notice the subtle, little changes. I can see they're trying but yeah, a looong way to go. Frank and Varni are still there and pets are still around so ... time will tell. At least it's becoming watchable and almost entertaining.

I follow GH thru Twitter, and I'm not seeing the changes you guys are talking about.  I'm seeing returns (good ones tho) with all of the stories centered around Frank's pets.  I was home early a few weeks ago and after 2 segments, I turned the channel.  I'm still seeing an awful show.  The dialogue is garbage and the stories are still lacking.  If it's not a pet, Frank will not give the story the attention it needs.  Take for example Neil's medical license in jeopardy.  When did he and Alexis get to the point to where his career was in trouble?  What happened with Keifer's sister after she was hit by a car?  Does Alexis even talk about that?

 

Frank is simply ill equipped, and that would not be so bad if he didn't micro manage his team.  

 

I will wait for clips of Taggart but I have no hope for a good show under Frank.

    • Above, I said "Vanessa needs to go to therapy to find ways to remain healthfully lusty and sex-positive, but to stay away from anyone who would demean her." Now adding onto that thought, I would clarify that sometimes I think Vanessa fools around for fun in a positive way.    But other times I sense that she's actually unconsciously trying to demean herself as way of numbing some inner pain -- it's hard to explain what I mean.  Sort of like... sometimes people drink for fun. But other times, people drink  in a self-destructive way, in order to drown out some inner pain. So I think she needs therapy about all of that.
    • A lot of these episodes are available on YT. The rape storyline starts around February or March of 1979 and Roger's demise is sometime in March 1980. The stuff from before 1979 is close to non exisitent, unfortunately.
    • Maeve Kinkead was on from 1980-1988 (left in January); 1989-2000 (went recurring 1996-97); 2002 -For Josh /Reva's Wedding; 2005 (appearances in May and December) back regularly from Feb 2006-end Maureen Garrett was on from 1976-80; 1988-2006 (recurring from 2003 on); 2009 Michael Zaslow was on/off from 1971-1980 with breaks in between but usually made an appearance every year then again 1989-1997. There is a youtube commercial  Guiding Light in 1968

    • Holly's final big story was the Sebastian mess in late 2004.   Vanessa and Matt were promoted to regulars near the end and were heavily recurring prior to that starting around 2007/2008.
    • Keith has a softer presence, but it would have helped to see him be more aggressive or proactive in protecting them instead of standing around like a mannequin. A man the audience should be hoping and wishing gets back together with his wife. Nicole needs a new husband!
    • She needs to learn to be honest with her husband about her lusty interests because being sex positive only works if you're not cheating on your spouse.

    • Very disappointed in the writers in the way they are screwing with Nicole, Ted,  and Kat to make Leslie remain viable. So many holes everywhere.
    • Somebody brought this up elsewhere which emphasizes why this NuTed appears as such a weakling. Why is Kat doing what HE should be doing? And that's everything he can to rid him and his family of this crazy woman. Kat is doing all kinds of things she shouldn't do but now I understand her more. She can't count on her father to eliminate this woman because he's a wimp. He's been too busy inviting her into his home and serving her drinks and offering her invitations to birthday parties. WIMP!!!!
