I will not further derail this thread with JFP unless it is pertinent. But I finish with this. She was asked directly over the years if she regretted killing Maureen off from Guiding Light. And for years she said she did. But someone pinned her down when she was at Y&R the first time, Michael Logan perhaps, and she admitted what she regretted and would never do again is making the audience care so much about a character right before killing then off. The tragic nature of the story leading into killing Maureen is what she regrets, not that she misjudged the audience, or that she didn’t have the foresight to see how destabilizing that was going to be for that particular show.  

She's played this tune for decades. I think the line is that for the six months before Maureen died, she made viewers care about her, and that was her mistake. That's very dubious, as I cared about Maureen before this incredible six-month period, but it tells you her view of the audience (and apparently of Ellen Parker).

Exactly.

Not the first time he was credited; since the beginning, he's been the show's continuity producer. His first breakdown aired on August 18.

Tbf Soaplovers and my own brain beat you both but that was neither here nor there. ;P

Nate Hapke, who has been part of the directing team of General Hospital since 2017, received what I believe might be his first solo credit as an episodic director.
