I hate what they did to Justus. The only good thing that came outof it was John Ingle got some rockin scenes.

Sonny is acting like an ass. I hate him with Emily and would actually like to see a triange between him, Carly and Jax. Of course, it won't happen.

I like Ric when he is evil just because Rick Hearst can pull it off. No one else can.

Anytime Luke, Robert, Tracy, Edward and SCRUBS are on my screen are about the only times I like the show right now.

Isn't SCRUBS on NBC Thursdays @ 9et/8c? Isn't SCRUBS on CTV Sunday afternoons @ 5et/4c? No wonder media executives think daytime drama viewers are DUMB! More UnAbortions, please! More Ice Storm: Nothing Could Prepare Them in September, please! More born in the mid 90s & age to an adult 10 yrs later, please! More coming back from the dead multiple times, please! :angry:

GH has greatly improved in quality & ratings since Aug. 06, and each month since then has been better than the previous one. The show began 07 on a high note, it's best month since mid 06. In Jan. 07, GH was the best daytime drama on American TV, it had the best ensemble, the best story development, the best scripts, the top 2 scriptwriters (MV Jean/MS Price), the best directing, the top 2 directors (O. Renfore/W. Ludel) & to top it all off, 2 of the the top 5 best actresses (L. Wright/NL Grahn). How's that for accolades, GH haters? :lol:My only question is: Why aren't more Americans watching GH?

Some say that I'm a "cancellation-lover", but if you don't watch GH, then ABC Daytime (ABC-D) declines further b/c TPTB, rightly or wrongly, have always viewed GH as their prized possession & they always will. So, if GH goes, so does The View, the unbearable AMC & the improved OLTL. Do u want ABC-D to go the way of the dodo bird & NBC-D? DOOL & PSN have been cancelled, you know. :rolleyes:

I'm sorry but I must respectfully disagree with your post. Has GH improved yes but by no means was it the best soap in Jan (in my opinion that belongs to guiding light). Are they going to have a great sweeps yes of course they always pull out the big guns(no pun intended) for sweeps but only time will tell what they will do after that because the pattern seems to be great sweeps followed by snoozefest.

GH may have the most talented cast in all of daytime, or the most talented directors, makeup, wardrobe, crew, but it all means squat if the show doesn't have talented WRITERS. And right now, GH doesn't have that.

So yes, GH's ratings have gone up slightly over the past month, but it's not back to where it used to be a few years ago, before Frons and Guza took over the helm.

So the question is why aren't viewers tuning back in to GH, when reviews are that the show has improved, because fans are tired of what GH is trying to sell them. That's why. Viewers tune in for a few days, see it's the SSDD, and tune right back out again. Plot point writing is NOT doing this show any favors and hasn't been for a long time. Fans are tired of the SSDD and until there are writer changes, viewers and fans alike are going to keep tuning out of GH.

ETA:

Perhaps they should add other characters and give them front burner stories, besides the same 4 or 5 people. Diversity is a good thing on a soap, it's a concept that GH hasn't taken notice to in a long time.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • Andrew sure has hard nips.
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
