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.

    • They didn't need to have some slutty gay dude as their representation. Just a 'normal' guy getting involved with another guy or two (or three). Just like the straight characters. Thinking about it, they missed the boat by not having a few other single charcters at the beginning. Maybe Naomi or Ashley could be shown meeting Derek/Jacob and  we could follow their romance. Too many characters were coupled up at the start. As a tattoo hater I was surprised to see Tomas so inked. Don't find it attractive or sexy. I'm surprised an actor would do that as it's definitely a statement and may not be appropriate for some roles. Suppose they can cover if necessary. I didn't buy Kat being all girly and then paying off Darius to get into Eva's room. Way too cliche. She should have just come along when the housekeeping was leaving and breezed in saying it was her room. And her smug looks in the hotel room and 'Now I've got you!!' talks to herself at Orphey Gene's...no.

    • I thought it got stale before Jocks death lol. His death picked things back up for me.
    • 1976 Pt 5 Tony is summoned to the reading of the will in the Llanfair library,as he’s a principal in the will. He tells Joe there’s not a chance of coming to terms with Dorian, as he is sure she brought about Victor’s death by torturing him emotionally when he was her helpless prisoner after his stroke. Ironically, Chapin hand delivers to Viki a letter her father wrote before his stroke, praising Dorian and asking Viki to befriend and support his widow when he was no longer there. Viki feels a responsibility to her father’s wishes and vows to try with Dorian. Victor’s will leaves the expected amounts to members of his family and staff, with the lion’s share of his stock and property going to Dorian. Victor’s will explains that his son Tony expressed the desire that he not be “bought from the grave,” and, in keeping with his son’s wishes, the only bequest to him is the knowledge of his father’s love and respect. Tony is deeply moved. Dorian’s first attempt to use her new power is the recommendation of Peter as head of the Merideth Lord Wolek hospital wing, claiming that naming Larry would be virtual nepotism. Peter, who has devoted considerable time and effort to helping Jenny get over Tim’s death with gentle, affectionate support, is happy at this suggestion, but Jenny points out Dorian is merely using him to hurt Larry. Viki disregards Dorian’s ingenuous assurances that she’s not trying to wield her new power but is merely putting Peter up for consideration for a future opportunity, if not this one, and tells her she won’t be able to fulfill her father’s desire that they be friends unless Dorian stops interfering. Larry, fully understanding Dorian’s personal motives, warns her he’s going to fight for the appointment no matter what. Realizing that she has made a tactical error, Dorian announces that she won’t even attend the board meeting but will give her proxy to Jim. She admits to Matt McAllister, still her confidant, that this was humiliating, but it was a necessary protective tactic. Dorian manages to win her next round at Joe’s office when, after he praises her decision to yield on appointing Peter, she expresses concern for Viki “at a time like this.” Joe, of course, jumps on her words, and Dorian, pretending great distress at having mentioned something she shouldn’t have, is “forced” to explain that she knew about the congenital heart condition Megan had and that any child of Joe’s is likely to inherit it. She overheard the doctors discussing it at the time of the accident, she continues, and naturally assumed that Joe already knew.  Joe arranges a meeting at home with Viki and asks her how she could live a lie like this; how she could go through their lives as if everything were fine while every moment was a lie. He is further upset when, in trying to explain that it was out of her love for him that she kept the truth from him, she mentions that Jim and Larry also know but Cathy still hasn’t been told. Viki tells Joe that Dorian deliberately told him this way to hurt their marriage, and she is very upset when he starts toward the door, pleading that they have always talked things out in the past. Joe coolly points out that she didn’t do that when she learned about Megan and continues out the door.  A tearful Viki is shaken and when Joe later returns, having spent several hours in a bar drinking only soft drinks,she breaks down, crying that she was convinced he’d left her. Joe assures her they can get through this despite everything, because their relation is based on love and mutual respect. 
    • If you think about it, DALLAS and DYNASTY grew stale right about the same time, even if the ratings were slow to reflect that.  FC and KL, on the other hand, tried to stay fresh, but KL was way more successful at it, I think, than FC.  (That [!@#$%^&*] with The Thirteen does not hold up well, lol).
