Members detroitpiston Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 I’m a biased Guza era GH fan so I’m thrilled he’s on staff. He and Michele understand the importance of layered characters, big story climaxes and strong daily dialogue which are things the current soaps routinely miss. Absolutely love that all of the script writers are black, that is how you pay things forward. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 (edited) I watched the show too. I didn't have to go back and watch Labine to learn after the fact, I was there in the first place. Guza has plenty of sins but no one helped erode Luke (during and after Guza) more than Tony Geary.

Members Taoboi Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 LOL!!! Yep...THE place to be!!! That's how I feel as well. A lot to digest for sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 Thanks. So I guess Guza just went off on his own plans for Jason deification after they left. I do agree with what you and others have said about that aspect of GH, although it must have been in the '00s I didn't watch as much. Beyond some strong moments around the time of the rape revisitation and Bobbie lying to Luke that Lucky had died, I don't remember many standout individual scenes from Guza's 98-00 run. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Vee Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 (edited) I remember a lot. But I have more patience for the Sonny/Carly saga (or later Robin, or Brenda and Jax and Jax/Alexis/Ned/Chloe) that unfolded than you do. I still think some of those scenes between Maurice and Sarah are immortal. Even the messy stuff where Guza and Riche were feuding over bus advertisement couples had a lot of standout material day to day. It was Stefan and Laura's early promise from '96 that they really fumbled later, but I think there were a lot of reasons for that. I said it when Mulcahey was back (as he wrote a lot of it) but it's the earlier stuff in '96 I think GH would be terrified to touch today - the casual, very candid sex between Jason and Carly when they first met, and IIRC the initial lack of understanding by the neophyte, brain-damaged Jason that sleeping with Carly would invalidate his budding romance with Robin where they couldn't be sexually intimate. Maybe I am misremembering it but I think that was the dynamic I recall early on. Edited November 16, 2024 by Vee 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dragonflies Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 I'm starting to think he doesn't GAF, he is still writing nonsense. He's got gold with the Luna stuff and focuses on bland and boring dumb and dumber Hope and Carter Anywho he'll be scrambling cause I can see BTG doing great numbers when it debuts lol It was Frons wasn't it? Jackie Zeman also once mentioned that Frons told her "no one wants to see old people kissing" What a Jack arse 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Taoboi Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 Absolute gold. Those were a fun few weeks. And now...meh. But I haven't started this new week yet and there were some twitches of something last week. You remind me that I cannot wait to see how BTG vs GH go in the ratings if it turns out in some places they air at the same time. But I guess in some places it would be against B&B, right? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 Beyond the Gates wouldn't ever be against The Bold and the Beautiful. A lot of places hold General Hospital at the 2pm time slot (some do have it at 3pm before local news programming), but yes... it'll be ABC vs. CBS once again. And I'm semi-praying for an obliteration of competition. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted November 16, 2024 Members Share Posted November 16, 2024 I wouldn’t mind that. I just don’t want every single thing to revolve around them. I don’t think that’s ever worked on any soap. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
