You and me both. That was the last time I honestly enjoyed YR. He did the impossible and made me Stan for Cricket too, he was giving her Emmy worthy material! Pratt’s AMC could have been really epic if he had an EP who cared, and just educated him on the some important beats, I.E. making Jesse’s daughter 5 years younger and maybe tying her to someone from Jesse past like Yvonne/Vera?! 
 

Pratt is far from perfect, but his canvas was fun tv. I was always eager to watch, and entertained for at least 8 months. He brought the show back to its comedic roots, balanced the show, made it fast paced again, saved the character of Annie, saved the character of Amanda, he made me care for Bobbie Eakes again,  he had some interesting family dynamics(Bianca/Josh), had Erica on the make again, his gay romance broke new ground because from my viewpoint Reese was Bisexual, and they made tv history, he did a story about a war vets, he played his black characters, there was a haves vs the have nots vibe, I even enjoyed the hospital politics between Angie and David before he was let go! For some reason, the soap press was pushing this agenda, that AMC was the worst show ever, and the fans jumped on the bandwagon and eventually got him fired. Even though his writing improved the ratings a bit. I find it interesting that the last four soaps look as bad as they do and nobody is on a Champaign to get them cut!

 

@vetsoapfan LMAO, we can agree to disagree. I just feel if we can give Ron C passes, we can do the same for Pratt!

Eh, I'd say both Pratt and Ron have the exact same issues with writing - they can write exciting stuff for a few months, but are usually unable to keep it up and usually dwindle into nonsensical camp (rather than good camp).

The last time I could say I enjoyed Pratt was the early part of his GH run with Guza.  They managed to make the show mostly entertaining without being as depressingly dark as Guza solo was.

 

It was trashy, but it was fun trash.  His tone always seemed a terrible fit for Y&R and AMC to me.

      Thanks! There's never enough early 1980s AMC around.    The only actor I don't recognize is the actress playing Wanda, Mike's agent.

      Dani going to Bill's house is karma for how he messes with Martin. It is totally separate, but I can't feel sorry for Bill when he's constantly antagonizing a family he says he wants nothing to do with.

      I understand what Lois did. I can see everyone's side, even if I don't agree with them.  That  proves it's a good story    Lois is far from ruined

      The character of Lois has been ruined and trashed. There's no coming back from this mess. The current production and writing team have had no idea as to what made her special to begin with. She had a bit of moral fiber. Her treatment on the show is not atypical though, as most characters will get trashed, even beyond redemption, if it serves the current flavor of the month plotline.

      No idea if this one had ever been up before or what the exact date is, but it's always good to look at/save the new AMC content while you can. If you're here for the drama there is some delirium with Adam and Erica about 10-12 minutes in.

      I think there's a story to tell in someone who always believed in honesty and integrity being emmeshed in so many lies, but I agree that it wasn't very well laid out over the last few months. I think if I was more invested in Lois, I would have more of an issue than I do. Few can hold up against Jane. This is one of those cases where I think mentioning who already switched babies or have long-lost children would just take away from the fallout. If Lulu wants to drag Brook Lyn for hypocrisy there is probably still time (if the show bothers). I don't think anyone would claim these are the best GH episodes ever. It may be very lowered expectations at play. But I do think that scenes like yesterdays were some of Tracy's best, as she is a character who is often not allowed that type of moment.

      You would think that, wouldn't you? I'd almost think they needed the money to get Robert Newman back, but they also had to know Larkin wasn't going to stick around and play second banana either. I don't get what the writers thought they were doing with Calla. Long liked using actors from Texas, but other than Alex/Bev McKinsey, the characters she wrote for them seemed blah.
