The last two weeks have been better than the entire Korte/Mulcahey's entire tenure.  There's so much happening now instead of having people just talk talk talk talk talk talk.  The show is soapy again.  LOL

I liked seeing Brad and Terry today because they don't bother me, and I'm in favour of a large cast/a large supporting cast/a lot of minor characters.  It makes the show feel like a big community.  I know I'm in the minority when it comes to a large cast size. 

As for as the credits go, I really just think posting the breakdown writer, script writer and director is necessary.  You don't need the creator and HWs because they don't change everyday.

Cody & Sasha were about to do the deed but were interrupted by Tracy & Vilette. Brad had a mtg with Terry. He wants a job in the lab. Jordan met with Molly.  You can imagine! Laura is heade to Lulu afraid but knows nothing. Dante met with her before she left. Then he picked up some soup & headed to Kristina in the interrogation room. Jason told several people that it was Valentin according to Clement. Crazy. A whole lot happened.

So based on Parry Shen’s SOD interview and Cassandra James twitter feed they were given their scripts and shooting dates two days in advance, Frank directed the scenes himself and they were filmed August 2nd. Smells like Frank put a plan to answer potential backlash against dumping Blaze before things could get fully ugly.

It is a fun theory, but I think it gives both production and social media too much credit. 

For example, to accept this idea, we'd have to believe that the writers and producers could predict that a certain portion of the audience would be more dismayed than they had been about other recent, and more high profile, firings.  And that they would be willing to write several scenes, pay recurring actors who happen to represent the LGBTQIA community, and insert them into an episode just to appease a minority of the audience. 

I usually go with Occam's Razor that the simpler (and less conspiratorial) solution is most often true.

    • I love your ideas. I would love to see Jack grown up this confused unhinged individual. He should hold a grudge against both Brooke and Taylor.

    • Lois's return has been a bust. So disappointing that the writers have never written for her. As with Tracy, the pool of GH vets is so thin, there's no one to pair her with. Doubtful they would go to the trouble of properly recasting a legacy character and then sticking  him with Lois; they're obviously not that invested. If she wants to be on this show, it'll be as a noisy grandma who stays in the background. 
    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that films like Steel Magnolias were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.

    • Today was very focused on Bo and his illness.  I’m liking how everything is ultimately tied together, even though everybody doesn’t know it yet. The EJ connection seems a little sudden and random though. I’m guessing that that was not on Ron’s agenda. And I’m not really sure why any of these rich people couldn’t help the hospital months ago lol  But I really like how the whole sepsis drug thing is being written a lot more realistically than what we’ve grown accustomed to with Dr. Rolf and all of his wonder drugs. They’re definitely putting more of an effort into this storyline. It feels more real.  Philip was a little whiny and self-pitying today, but I also feel like the writing has improved for him as well. He’s coming off less like a villain and more like a tragic hero. I enjoyed his scene with Stephanie and hopefully it means that at some point, we’ll get a revival of Philip/ Stephanie/Alex. Tying it to Stephanie’s novel could be really good. And, the dorkiness of Xander and Sarah was really sweet too. I’m looking forward to their weekend together and what secrets may or may not come out lol 
    • "And I also want to flirt with every woman that comes my way... but then beat up anyone who talks to my wife. BECAUSE I'M A MAAAAAAAAAAAN." Give me a break with your ugly baby paintings... You're in the same category of the hacks that sell paintings with a single dot for thousands or even millions of dollars.
