@depboy I think it currently is rudderless. It has some good stuff that's watchable, while other stories aren't.

Take the above Cody.  I like the opportunity for Mac to have a son, and  Josh Kelly works well with Amanda Setton, Lisa Lo, Sofia Mattson, John J. York, Kristina Wagner...   but the direction in his fake crazy scenes is pure crap. It's so phony. Ugggh.

 

I don't love Sonny in every single story, but I like the scenes with Finola's Anna and MB.

 

I remember the good old days when people went to prison <cough> Blackie Parrish <cough> and are never seen. No one has needed all the Cyrus  that we are stuck with. I  like  that  he is Austin's boss because it could usher Austin off the show.

 

I like both Walt Willey and Carly Hughes from their previous roles on other shows. I don't like that in hiring them, Kin Shriner's Scott is not being used.  Ditto for Portia's brother being Drew's lawyer. There are already several attorneys from Port Charles on the show.  

Tracy being around full time for a change is great, even though the story is meh.  Drunk Tracy was funny though. Butting heads with Lucy --  that I can totally enjoy.

 

The CBS Primetime budget cuts bring Stella back to working in the hospital (with Bob <3s Abishola dropping most of the cast to guest stars). Stella mentoring Felicia in her patient advocacy brings the hospital  more airtime --  a definite plus. I still feel poor Deana must be like...

Next to Elizabeth, she's the most frequently used nurse, yet neither has much of a personal story.  Yep, there's Finn who just (to me) comes off more like a brother than a romantic interest.  I wish the Gregory story were being done with Jeff Webber instead...  I also think that a death sentence   rather than a treatable disease is a bit too much, especially after watching Mike Corbin's long and slow demise. Gregory having a challenging disease that could kill him or he could survive with proper treatment just seems like a better story.

 

Wallow-- just hit her with a speeding car as she pushes Jake or Danny out of danger.  The shelf life on her milk carton is way past due.  A month's rest from Michael wouldn't hurt, either.

Gladys  --  women's prison and let Heather be her cellmate -- off camera.  Sasha-- refresh her after her next maternity leave.   Montague -- let Janice kill him to save Sasha and never return.   Way too many characters with loose end stories that just don't need to continue.

Remember when Curtis was entertaining?  I do, but it's been a while. Hat Dad  doesn't really bother me, but his being an contract without enough story to warrant it does

 

The role of Molly Davis Lansing is now being portrayed by Martha Madison... Might as well. Nothing against the actress, but not for a twenty-something lawyer that the viewers watched grow up. And good Lord, who cast that girl before her?  Charity Rahmer, the GH version. I know they were screwed with Pullos' arrest, but yeesh.

Mansi seems to be a good fit for Kristina, but I find it amusing that her meetings with twice a month Terry have been off-screen. This all of a sudden huge ass resentment from Molly is contrived and really annoying

It was good to see Huss back as Nikolas, I just hope the character can be salvaged.

 

It's not bad, but not great. It's definitely better than listening to Liam whine 5 days a week on B&B.

This Nik story is the makings of being just fabulous. I am on the edges of my seat! I haven’t been this excited in many years! It is the kind of shocker that is a modern spin on a classic twist that GH is known for.

I can’t wait to turn on this show every day!

When Nikolas returns, he will hate Ava for trying to murder him. He will hate Spencer for blackmailing him. He will hate Liz for turning him in to the police. He will hate Esme most of all and demand sole custody of Ace. Laura and Alexis will try to appeal to the good person they remember he once was, but that person will be gone. Nikolas will now be more like Victor and will regret not being awake to join Victor on his Greenland adventure. He will affirm Spencer's hatred of him.

Nikolas will hire enough lawyers to beat the criminal charges against him. He will then demand Ace. Nikolas will disown Spencer and want to make Ace his sole heir. He will seek to ban Esme and Spencer from Ace's life and have him be raised by nannies on Cassadine Island. To keep himself in Ace's life, Spencer is forced into temporary alliance with Esme in opposition to Nikolas. Here is where the DNA test happens to establish Ace's paternity.

    • Yeah, I thought it would be more explosive or heated and it was kind of standard.  Both can do more with the material.  I just don't think the writing was there.
    • Daphnée and TMG are on Instagram live (as we speak) and are saying they don’t know why Maurice left.
    • Anita let SilkPress know what time it was!
    • Kat vs. Eva and Anita vs. Leslie were today's highlights.
    • TBF, the majority of Month 2 was them beefing up all the side-stories...mind you Duprees as well as non-Duprees...and it did not seem like people were taking to it as well as they were taking to stories in Month 1. If anything I feel (hope) that May Sweeps is going to shift...while dealing with the aftermath of the Nicole/SilkPress storyline...to the next big story aka Martin's Secret. But that's me hoping that Martin's meltdown over SilkPress jiggles some memories of his out...which I was already hoping would happen. Add on that Bill is involved in both stories now...that might be his way of being sure nothing happens to him now in light of SilkPress's antics.    And...same. I feel they did a better job than expected with Vanessa/Doug with me because I didn't even realize how invested I was until their talk at the hospital and Doug made that subtly blunt comment about their arrangement...making the various online discussions online real. And for me, relevant. 
    • Michael Logan is being disingenuous. He knows who's to blame in these situations. Not only does he know how daytime works, but he also wrote about all the BTS shenanigans at the P&G soaps leading up to the Justine story. I will give Victoria Wyndham this: she went all out in the performance. She didn't half ass the performance. Let's also not forget that it was Michael Logan who was publicly calling for the firing of JFP when she on GL but says nothing about that in this interview or in the articles. My guess is that someone at AW didn't like Wyndham and was giving Logan the gossip and he was writing his column with that tea.
    • Basic script work; if it hadn't been for Jane Elliot and Rena Sofer, it could've been for any random character.
    • Because you are posting these things like they are true facts.  And they aren't. But whatever, Donna, you will just keep doing you.   Most people actually are trying to talk about GH in this thread.  Not random twitter/facebook/internet rumors you bring here.  I am just wasting my time even responding.    
    • This is a common theme with long running actors and preposterous storylines. Firstly they may relish the chance to play something different after years as that character-Ok I have an evil twin, possessed by the devil etc-at least it's something new to play. Secondly, no matter how dumb the plot it keeps them frontburner and valued to the show and the audience. Better than being a talk to. Thirdly, as VW stated in the end they don't have the power to dictate story and too much complaining can backfire and set them up in a negative light. Not a good position to be in with your employers. So they just buckle up and give it their all or act out the script till it's over.
    • Your use of the word "apparently" would need to include a source. Just your use of the word doesn't make it true or valid. Where would you get the idea that something has happened if you hadn't already received an indication from somewhere else, specifically a valid source (including Tabyana herself)? By using the word "apparently," you are implying this was mentioned somewhere, either in a publication or similar.
