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.

New Lucas is the first time I have felt that he actually was a part of the LGBTQ+ community. His scenes with Carly definitely played as the older sister with her younger gay bro and with Joss, the gay uncle wanting to hear all about her life.

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?

    • I’m hoping to start getting to know Vernon better this month. He’s really only been a bunch of noble and good tropes so far. I don’t want him to be taken down the way Ted has been, but it seems he was a long-running Senator and no matter what party you are, lasting longer than twenty years means you’re looking out for you (and not who you’re supposed to be looking out for) most of all. I want to get to know both Vernon and Anita beyond their Dupree posturing. Clifton Davis can sleepwalk handling the kind of material Christopher Bernau and David Lewis handled and I’d like to see more than just a saint.
    • I thought Emily/Hal was a really interesting pairing. And I think KMH played that version of Emily very well! It might not have been what people wanted from Emily, and the writing got pretty gross at the end, but I thought she embodied that character effectively.
    • Don't know if this exactly fits here, but it is connected: Does this abandoned building look familiar? It is one of those explorer videos - and the outside may look VERY familiar if one watched GH in the '70s and '80s!

    • So, I have been in the hospital all week. I am close to being up to date on my soaps. Now I have to go to the Infusion Ctr daily to get IV antibiotics, for 6 weeks. I am frankly exhausted. A hospital is no place to be when you're sick. Hooked up to machines that go beep beep beep all day & night long. Someone wakes you up every hour on the hour for something, either to stick you with needles or to take your gosh-awful blood pressure for the umpteenth time. So, you don't get any sleep. Now I have a central line, upper right chest. After they "installed" it, I said, I am now Borg. They just stared at me. Apparently scifi is not general knowledge. What happened? I have an infection inside my big toe right foot & it burned the skin on my foot. The burned skin is already better. It was like a bad sunburn. The infection inside the toe is the issue. Oral antibiotics won't even get its attention. So, IV antibiotics plus time.

        As Salem bids farewell to John Black on Monday, the "Days" family and fans say a final goodbye to Drake Hogestyn.   From his time as a young man playing baseball in the minor leagues for the New York Yankees to his almost four-decade run as John Black, Drake always did his best. And, while becoming a soap opera icon, he spent almost 40 years at "Days" telling the best stories and taking the younger cast under his wing to make sure they would do their best as well. Thank you, Drake, for the legacy you have left for everyone at "Days." The impact you made on the cast, crew and fans will never be forgotten...and that's a fact.
    • I found an interview with Joseph Breen (Will Jeffries) where he mentions that Reva was put in a coma so Zimmer could go to Hollywood to do a pilot (OMG, if ONLY it had been picked up, LOL) and that Sonni and Josh and Will became a popular with the audience while she was out of commission.  If you want to read the whole thing: https://www.authorsden.com/visit/viewarticle.asp?id=47394 Breen was known for being very candid in interviews, I wish I could find more of them. I seem to recall he made a couple of snarky comments about Zimmer, implying she was not above acting like a diva. Sounded to me like he had a lot of respect for Forbes (who went on to have a very strong and varied career after GL). 
    • I was so confused why Devon was prying into Nicks love life and then it clicked and I remembered they’re brother-in-laws. Shows how little I pay attention to this show anymore. I was like uh? Do these two even know each other this well?     
    • The Bell soaps, B&B and Y&R: cannot watch. If I went by the last time I did I would have to give them both D- but I really don't think it counts when you're not a daily watcher.  DAYS: B+ (Now this is with the knowledge that for years I have given this show a D- because I've been a fan for too long to give it the F it deserved.) GH: A+ (With Korte driving this bus to me the show is so much better! IMO we just had the best NB in so many years I cannot count!) BTG: A solid (Things I love, a few I do not, nothing I hate, still find it in general remarkable.) As always, thanks for doing this thread. I count it. I always look for it & I always post. 
    • Okay, I continue to maintain that what is so good about this particular reveal followed by umbrella storyline is that you can see & understand many different points of view where there is not one bad guy or one 100% right person.  About your stated opinion, that Lois & Gloria did the right thing, you know that this was technically an illegal adoption? For it to have been legal the father, if known, would have to have been informed & have signed off on terminating his own paternal rights. And, of course, it is clear how many people they lied to.  Personally I feel like Lois is going to take the biggest "public" blame with Lulu a close second in the blame category. I am looking forward to a tongue lashing I hope Brook Lynn gives to Gloria. I continue to be more than annoyed with Dante. First his attitude toward Gio with regards to Rocco & a drinking game & its results. Second his attitude toward Lulu. Meanwhile enjoying the show every day!
    • Lois and Gloria did the right thing I feel knowing it was Camila that raised Gio has BL feeling some jealousy No one is saying that Camila was a bad mother to Gio I believe it will be Gio saying that Camila was great to him, thanking Lois and Gloria to get BL to see truth
