The writing for Liz and Lucky is indeed terrible, but if JJ signed a one-year contract he may be gone in a couple of months anyway. Perhaps they’re just cutting their losses.

Unless they cut him, I'd think he would stay. Surely, he didn't choose to return because he expected high quality. I figure he gets to work when he wants and spend a lot of time doing his own thing and being with his family.

Other than hanging out with Liz, all of Lucky's stories have been stalled out or dropped; the relationship with his son; his wanderlust. He hasn't been involved in any of the action/adventure or con artist stuff. I don't think he's even had a scene with Sidwell since the latter came to town. He's a real after thought. I doubt he's long for the show.

Question.  Why is the list on-screen of writers so small for GH?  Are there really that few writers for this show, or does the show employ uncredited "extra help" to save money?

It's no smaller than Beyond the Gates, honestly. Usually comprised of a breakdown writer, a script writer and a script editor; they only credit each episode with who dealt with that episode's work. But they do have a list of nine writers altogether (not counting Korte and Van Etten).

Thank you, that makes sense.  I do pay attention to the list when I watch.  I seem to like episodes where Charlotte Gibson is on the list.

Outside of their headwriters, GH and BTG only credit the breakdown Writer and scriptwriter for each episode. Days credits their whole team daily with their breakdown writer listed after Ryan Quan. Their scriptwriter is the last writer listed.

Hope Rena Sofer ain't gone for good

I tend to lean into Nigel Campbell's work and lately, Ryan Quan, as well.

There are couple of thoughts I would like to share.  I haven't been around for a while, so it's possible that other people have already addressed these matters.

1. The other day, Michael referred to Scout as his children's 2nd cousin.  That is not right.  Drew and AJ were half-brothers.  That means that AJ's son, Michael, and Drew's daughter, Scout, are half 1st cousins.  That, in turn, means that Scout is half 1st cousins, once removed to Wiley and Amelia.  

2. I wonder if the show will have Monica and Lesley die on the same day, perhaps a few hours apart.  That would be an interesting end for their characters.  

-- Good to see the (wading) pool set return, but they really need to do something with the static landscape outside those large windows. It looks so fake.

-- Joss showing up at the pool because she's "working with" Dalton is all kinds of hilarious. Te WSB is special LOL

-- Was Joss late for her court appearance because she was strutting around the pool in high heels and a bikini? Make it make sense.

-- Alexis moves from one "She can do 30 years for this" storyline to another. What a lawyer.

-- Maurice Benard had another really bad day. He's clearly reading cue cards in every scene and spends a ton of time looking at the ground. When everyone in the Gio story is making a pilgrimage to visit him like he's the Godfather, that's a problem.

-- I am glad that Gio is going to the pool tomorrow.😂😍

I was praying this pool set would retire... but nope. We're stuck with it for another agonising summer. LordT help us.

Once again, Giovanni Mazza killed it. He's got a bright future ahead of him, and hopefully GH doesn't lose him as quickly as they lost Nick Chavez.

And once again, Emma spoke for all of us. They really need to establish a stronger friendship between her and Trina.

And, I'd find that the custody battle would be a lot more interesting if it involved characters that I actually liked

Clearly, the WSB needed a new honeypot, and who better than Joss 😂😂😂

I think we're all glad 😂😂😉

Given how quickly he's picked up steam, I will again say they should've considered casting GM as Spencer last year. But that would not have suited Frank's preferences.

So, it's not just me. 

I don't know if you watched All My Children, but before they were ridiculously re-located to California, their summer outdoors set was awesome. They were actually outside at a country club.

I think the GH pool set works. Ask yourself if there was anything wrong with it when Kristina crashed through Ava's window?
