That's just a nice statement to quiet the crazy fans claiming NAC is ungrateful to the show, etc. I highly doubt he'll be back any time soon. A recast is the most likely option down the road.

The truth is that GH is still losing viewers.

I know it's early in this writing change, but I doubt anyone expected Mulcahey to lose viewers in his first months. There are still far too many characters and far too many storylines. Now we have a lot of characters being moved from one story to another. We have stories played for a few days before disappearing.

GH is clearly the most popular soap on this board and gets a ton of attention here. I personally don't think the show is in good shape right now, and I'm not happy with any "progress."

Honestly, there were other problems at play, JFP’s ego was at an all time high, and he wasn’t to blame for everything that went wrong. But, GH right now is sort of reminiscent of Mulcahey’s brief HW-ing stint at GL in 1994. 

Much of the day to day writing can be thoughtful, but it’s low energy and the stories don’t really have much stakes to them.  It was more noticeable at GL because they had just come off some really great years, and Justin Deas was eating the show alive in a very aggressive way.  GH is different in that regard at least.

I guess Im in the minority I dont mind the quiet GH days. Thursday was all family and community interaction. Today was about The Stakes with Sonny andmaybe Krissy having some self relevation about the baby

 

Next week according to spoilers look to have more action and stories moving forward with some nice character moments

Guess I do not see it that way. I started GH in 1992 and until around 2002 it had a real community/Family feel. Then Guza/Pratt made it The Sorpranos. RC started doing better but he backtracked and basicaly since 2002 for me, this feels like the GH I watched in the 90s

I agree. And the fan based rumors about his difficulty and departure. From insiders wink wink.

It read to me as both a fan thank you and a plea for people to not blame Frank for what has happened. Reminiscent of Genie Francis posting accolades about Frank when the audience turned on him when she refused recurring.

I have no doubt he is a good boss to work for. I just think he’s a better manager that keeps the trains running than a creative EP. All the cast comments about him make me wonder what the hell JFP did all day. Because they all talk about how hands on he is on the floor and how it wasn’t that way before (the 80’s vets compare it to Monty’s eyes on everything).

So this is like what, the second or third time Nina's dad has been mentioned in the last couple of weeks when he hasn't been mentioned in well over a decade! And he has a name, (it's Dan; I know, pretty lame). So is there a particular reason for this or is this leading into any kind of story for Nina or what?

Is there such a thing as sweeps now?

He could be doing Puppetry of the Penis and I still wouldn't want her in an episode. She needs a long rest.

I don't know if Lucy has ever even had a team. Clearly the current writers have no use for her...

Sonny always wins out in the end. The current story has an escape hatch for him via the meds.

      Eddie has begun uploading the 1990 episodes. I'm so happy about that. I was mindfully taking a break till there's plenty of episodes I can binge watch when I feel like it. Now that 1989 is complete... I can't wait to press play on February 1989 and resume where I left off.

      This is just a guess but I feel like the fact that they keep mentioning her dead husband is for a reason. We know Martin has a secret that likely involved someone dying. Martin's victim could be Alan which Leslie/Dana either knows about or finds out and she uses that to blackmail the family into letting her crimes slide.

      In Loving Memory: Ruth Buzzi (Letitia Bradford, Days, 1983)

      Just thinking how the Ruth/Leticia guest spot really cemented how Days had changed. Stunt casting with a campy/comedy character in a 'wacky' storyline was something that a few years previously would have been completely out of place on Days (and most other soaps for that matter).

      I am interested to see how they handle Leslie/Dana down the road. If she continues in this path, it would be unrealistic to have her around. Like other shows have done this with a 'villian' character and ended up with people looking stupid putting up with someone they detest. Another thought-could they be building up to a murder story? Maybe Les/Dan will be left in a coma and we will have a whodunit with several characters as suspect. It would also be a chance to redeem her I wonder how long the show will go w/o resorting to soap cliche stories-twins,switched at birth, murder mystery, long lost child etc

      Yeah, Martin really did make me laugh when him and Smitty jumped up to drag Leslie out. I am interested in seeing how this fallout will impact his storyline as well. Especially since he is so protective regarding his family/family's image. I am interested in seeing how he will interact with Eva for the time being, they did have a warmer interaction earlier on once they met. But he seems to have doubts about her possibly being Ted's right now. I wonder how long it might take for him to come around with her. I could see the younger generation warming up to her quicker than the older ones. Though of course I think there will be anger/tension for a while regarding the reveal and her role in it. Perhaps Naomi/Chelsea will ease up on Eva first then eventually Martin/Kat might down the line. I really do love Nicole. I'm glad that DD is playing her. She really is the heart of the family and also agree the show. She is so easy to root for and I'm looking forward to seeing how things work out for her. I am enjoying the development of most of the characters on this show. I enjoy most of them including Bill with his trifling self lol. I do feel that Bill's love for his daughters is genuine and that gives him some depth. A few of the characters I don't care for that much (like Bill, Ashley, Vanessa). I wasn't too big on Andre at first, but I am warming up more to him as the actor is settling into the role. I like most of the characters on this show. Also, I am interested in seeing what happens if Eva indeed goes and lives with the new doctor that was introduced. I could see this adding another layer to her story, maybe she will become more vixen-ish, on what type of relationship they end up having. And/or maybe she will end up becoming more hardened as she deals with being an outcast, especially if she falls out with Leslie as well. I think that AM will do a good job of showcasing the different layers of this character as she deals with the fallout of the affair/paternity reveal.

      One thing I thought about is if Hayley will have a reaction to Bill threatening to kidnap and sell a baby. That's another level of viciousness and with her just having thought she was pregnant it might make her feel some type of way.
