Gio should be written out. He does nothing on the show. He isn't very good acting wise too.

Cody and Lucas? Mmmmmmmmm Sign me up!

Which means it isn't happening.

Elizabeth and Ric were a random pairing to me. For her to end up with that guy after Jason and Lucky, and then Zander got into the mix somehow. 

Someone said Ric and Ava should get together. I would love to see that!  It would be Ric and Faith all over again, two messy toxic souls!

Are you sure?  Under Korte/Mulchaey, the head nurse and both co-COS were basically benched, and a doctor was written off.  Now under Korte/CVE, Liz/Terry/Portia are on more, and they've brought back Brad and Lucas, added a new doctor in Isaiah.  Looks like to me the new-old regime has brought back the GH setting.

If we're talking doctors I'm not exactly weeping for the loss of Finn or that we had less of Terry, who delivers each line like she's only just discovered talking pictures.

I think the show was deeply at odds with itself during the brief PM era, so it's impossible to know what was in mind. Now that Frank has his pet writers back we're settling into the same staid equilibrium.

I just laughed out loud at this.  I never thought about it, but Cassandra James does have very stilted way of delivering her lines.  Terry's fine and all.  I just never got behind the D story of her romance with day player Yuri.  Are they still together?  Actually no one answer.  I don't care lol.

I think the distance from the hospital is a valid criticism of what we saw during Mulcahey/Korte. It wasn’t a focal point during any of Guza’s tenures until Scrubs. Sure we had characters there facing an illness, or recovering from various traumas, some second tier leads still worked there.

Compare any time Mulcahey was on the writing team to Labine’s tenure, or the beginning of the show to the end of 1981. Scrubs was only prevalent because they had made Robin a doctor and Grey’s Anatomy was popular.

I don't think it will be dropped completely. I think it WILL still be soapy...but not as scandalous as it would have been for me. 

 

It's gone from being completely invested and not sure what side you would be on to clear sides and none of them are pretty. 

Well tbf, while the points about the co-COS is a valid one (though Portia had a part in the potential Heather story under PM as more than the clear villain she is being painted as now), the head nurse was doing the elusive Liaison dance as well as being a mom to her sons who were being set up to have a Sins of the Father like storyline as Generation Next was taking shape. 

 

It was clear a hospital story was taking shape with the Heather storyline and that could have taken a better route than the one that it is under now with the New/Old Writers. And can we even pick on PM's route to get there to the hospital as a focus when the New/Old Writers just got there themselves after a sharp focus on the Mob again with the demise of Wagger? If anything, it appeared that PM was doing the same thing (except for him it was Pikeman specific), but alas we might never fully know?

      Jill Farren Phelps was always very skilled at saying what she meant onscreen in the bluntest way possible, like whenever she wanted fans to support one character vs. the other (hence Megan McTavish groaning about having to write Kale Browne's Sam Rappaport into three days a week at OLTL). Perhaps you should consider doing the same. Historically your intent is always far more obvious than your efforts at coy embroidery anyway. You believe people are dismissing Phelps' accomplishments, and suggest misogyny and fan blinders allow people to too easily pigeonhole and dismiss her skill set. I think we all understand her varied skill set. We're saying it's not enough to make up for her deficiencies as a storyteller and creative. JFP was undoubtedly a skilled technical producer. As a solo storyteller, and de facto HW, she was a repeat and predictable failure. She was not the first or last EP (male or female) to think she was a writer. If you want us to stop taking your behavior personally when you suggest misogyny is at play in board opinions of JFP, perhaps you should consider spending the next 10+ years here not acting like you're the only one who gets it.

      Melissa was here today & we went to Michael's Crafts & Ofc Depot. In Michael's there were two beautiful LITTLE girls who kept staring at me, so I gave them a littel wave & very quietly said HI & then did back. I told Melissa they were staring at me. She smiled & said "Purple. A lot of little girls love purple & you forget but you have purple hair. Seeing you their whole imaginations are transformed! Thinking "That lady has purple hair. That means I can have purple hair! They had no clue before seeing you that it was possible." I just laughed & laughed.

      This opening scene is hilarious...it's like someone wrote out the script for Philip with one hand. And Rick...sniffing a scarf over and over. And in their next scene they are still sniffing the [!@#$%^&*] scarf as the camera stays all over Philip's bare chest and armpits as he keeps working out. Insane stuff.

      I'm back! We are back! Me and my husband are finally back at our favorite hobby! How could I postpone returning to this amazing show for so long??? What was I thinking??? Another World - February 2nd, 1989 The dead will revenge the living

      Bay City better be ready, because I'm back!   At Vicky's apartment she is once again drowning in doubts and jealousy. Deep down she realizes that her dream wedding will be a farce and nothing can change that. Bridget tries to calm her down, but the heroine is determined to suffer. She is not hearing any positive thoughts. She doesn't believe Jamie will marry her. At the Cory Publishing building another farce is in process. Iris, once again pretending to be the angel of love and sisterhood... is telling Mac and Rachel some wonderful news. When Iris has good news, you really need to look out for yourself. That's when things are bad. So what are the news? Miss Devil has put Amanda up for an award! Mac is smiling from ear to ear, and Rachel is suspicious. Maybe that's the effect Iris is looking for. To once again accent on the fact that Rachel doubts and criticizes her daughter. Iris will do anything to destabilize their relationship. She is like a cancer. Back to Vicky! Jamie is at the door. Looking like a sad puppy, he has come with a surprise. No, he is not gonna leave her and her unborn... Not yet. He has bought her earrings. Sad face. How nice. NOT. Victoria, of course... manages to break one of them the moment she touches it. Bad premonition maybe? She was back in hysterics. It's not easy to trap a man into marriage. Then you have to live with someone that didn't want you in the first place.  We were introduced to a new character (to me at least she is new) - Cass's sister - Stacey. She is giving me "hidden skeletons in the closet"-vibes. Love a girl like that. Stunning actress. I like her. The highlight of the episode was the strange and creepy reveal of Evan the escort... hugging someone named Janice's grave. I remember she had an issue with Rachel... and Rachel killed her in self defense I think... It was hinted in prior episodes, but I lack the context and story. I just know that everyone at the Frame house was mad that Rachel killed the bish. But I also got the impression that this Janice was sick in the head. So Evan is now talking to her grave and telling her he is going to ruin Rachel's life basically. Oh, Evan... I liked you better as a sexy gigolo.  Overall - 10/10 - how can I rate it lower when I haven't watched in months!!!

      DAYS: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Once again, Marlena and Kayla were used very effectively and I couldn’t be happier.  Marlena counseling Johnny and then Chanel was the best part of today. They’re really delving into the human emotion of this storyline and I think that’s a good thing. It feels so much mature than it was before. EJ’s fear about what could happen to Johnny if he doesn’t let go of his anger could lead to some really good storylines in the future.  I also really appreciate the way that Paula/Jeanne are mixing it up and having different characters interact with each other. It was nice to see Shawn and Johnny remember that they’re cousins and share a scene together. I liked the parallel that was drawn between the two of them, and what’s going on with their fathers. I did have mixed feelings about everything with Cat though. I enjoyed Chanel warning her about EJ, mostly because it played into the way that she was written today. But I wasn’t the biggest fan of the Chad/EJ scenes. The two of them discussing Chad’s potential feelings for Cat didn’t really keep my interest.  But above all, I feel that everyone is being used more effectively and that we’re getting a better understanding of everyone as well. And that was exactly what Days needed.

      It's a wild story for sure, especially the final conclusion (and fireworks offcamera, like Victoria Wyndham tearing into Michael Logan).

      "Secret Storm" memories.

      By Paul Raven · Posted

      I did some research and the story wrapped up with Eric,a caretaker responsible for Georgina's death who then  tried to do away with Laurie but a vision of Georgina spooked him and he smashed into a mirror, dying of glass wounds. So there was a supernatural element. I wonder if the Brody character in the credits was Eric Brody?
