Just like the culmination to the Chase/Willow/Michelle story, the execution to the Sonny is alive reveal has just been executed wrong. 

It should have been revealed early on to Britt that Jason and Carly were a marriage of convenience, with Britt/Jason still carrying on a secret (or not so secret) love affair.  Both Carly (in true Carly fashion) and the mob should have manipulated the situation to where Jason would have no choice but to call things off with Britt. Britt reacts badly to the news and it sends Jason straight into Carly's arms, which leads to the pair developing actual feelings for each other. But again the execution was off, and Britt has seemingly been left twisting in the wind. 

If the show wanted to keep Jax alive(ugh) while knowing the secret of Sonny's whereabouts, I would've had Nina run off with Sonny/Mike, perhaps Mike kills Peter, and the pair go on the run from the law. Maybe while they are on the run an accident happens which causes Nina to confess the truth to Mike who she believes is on the brink of death.

It's so obvious there are too many cooks in the kitchen with this show, from network interference to interference from Frank. It's disappointing, but I must say I continue to watch because I am genuinely interested in seeing what happens to the characters and couples on the show.

Yep. The show refuses to do drama. This should've been huge. Instead we got a happy Jarly wedding with the whole town wishing them well, no big cliffhanger with Sonny, and instead he just reveals himself at home on a Tuesday afternoon. Completely anticlimactic. Kudos to GH for managing to make this boring.

    • You’d think he would’ve learned after the way Sprina took off.  I hope we get a proper Emma/Gio/Trina/Kai quad, as friends, romantic rivals, etc. In the few scenes that the four of them have had together, I felt like there was a natural chemistry between all of them, similar to the way that Cam/Spencer/Trina/Joss was, in the beginning.  And, it would be a lot better than all this stuff with Kai’s surgery. 
    • Hooray we made the exact same critique to Londonscribe!!!!!
    • I don't think they had any idea who he was this time last year. I think they were keeping their options very open. Same with totally dropping the Trina romance that was spoiled for him in the mags once FV clearly took a shine to him. Frank's priorities are bright and blazing in one color. I do think Gio and Emma seem to have worked out given that she is very dry and sarcastic and he is like a hot golden retriever, but I'd still play the field or explore quads with both with very different people - Emma with a scheming young man (of color), Gio with possibly Trina or someone else, or even a boy. Then maybe put them back together, who knows. But of course none that will happen.

    • He definitely got lost in the shuffle last year. First, they were implying that he was Drew’s son, then he was nothing more than just Violet’s bff

      And then they changed him to being Dante and Brook Lynn’s son, which was clunky at first but I’m enjoying the storyline now. 
    • GM is adorable, charming and fun onscreen despite months of nothing to do until recently, and has a bodacious bod. I'm not cosigning the show or this story - I haven't watched a full episode in over a month - but I think we're all taking the small victories in 2025 at this point. I'm open to testing this theory!
    • I think Jason might've posted some numbers for the syndication a while ago and the numbers for Falcon Crest was horrible. Like 1.5 rating or something, which was terrible.    ETA: it was actually Paul Raven:   New to syndication 60 min Fall Guy 67 markets 3.1/8 Falcon Crest 110 markets 1.1/5 To get into the top 40, you needed a 4.6/9 rating for reference - and Falcon Crest managed to get into a lot of markets to begin with. In the fall of 1985 Dynasty, Dallas and Knots were syndicated (show / rating / share / coverage % / markets): Dallas 3.4 10 51.7 92 Dynasty 3.4 10 48.7 47  Knots Landing 3.3 10 12.5 20  So, Knots as an example trippled Falcon Crest's rating with 20 markets - I'm sure those were major ones but it just goes to show you how much Falcon Crest bombed in syndication. 
    • It's not bad but the stories move too slow. It's the same problem when Dan O'Connor was CO-HW with Van Etten, they have a million stories and they all drag on endlessly with no resolution. I'd argue the majority of the stories airing now are good but you get sick of waiting months for something to happen.
