New HW for GH?

Featured Replies

But the last I recall reading, there was an interview eons ago with Claire Labine's son, and he insinuated that his mother was in poor health.

She did an interview a few months ago with a Kate Mulgrew fan site (TotallyKate.com), and she said she was currently working on a play. If she is indeed ill, it doesn't seem to be deterring her from writing.

It would be amazing if she returned to General Hospital, but I can't see Frons firing Guza. *sigh*

Actually, the more I think of it, the less likely I think it's true. (No diss to Jay - I'm sure he's just reporting what he hears.)

So, I think this is another pipe dream. <Cries>

I heard that as well. :( And that's too bad, because GH is in desperate need of a new HW. <_<

I wish it were true, but I doubt it. I think JFP would be the first out the door since she's the one who holds the most responsiblity in Genie leaving in 2002.

I dont know if it was discussed here but i just got word that GH may be getting a new HW. Rumors are spreading that Frons is letting Guza go on behalf of Genie Francis since Pratt and Guza fucked her up before... There are 2 names rumored...Claire Labine and Michael Val Jean

Um....yeah....there is no Michael Val Jean. And isn't Claire Labine up there in age? How old is she now?

And I highly doubt Genie Francis has that much power and she's only coming for a limited run (a month or so). Also, Frons and Guza are buddies. No way he takes Genie's side over Guza.

"I Wanna Be a Soap HW" would be.........AWESOME!

Well, I'll be the first to admit I'm enjoying GH lately but Michele Val Jean and Claire Labine? OH MY LORD ALL MIGHTY!

  • Member

I would be back fulltime for Claire Labine! She's my favorite soap writer of all time.

Well, something else thats needs to be considered is that its not only Genie, Have you seen ratings lately?? The reasons stated are ratings, the retun of Genie and other Vets, and ratings again

with the return of Genie Francis later this year, GH may undergo some major writing changes! rumor has it that Guza is on his way OUT as Head Writer and two names are being tossed up as possible replacements for a new Head Writer: Claire Labine and Michele Val Jean!!!

it's no secret that Francis left due to the writing and direction of her character (Guza and Pratt were the HW's) so it would make sense that GH may cut their losses with Guza at the helm, not too mention the decline in ratings, and now the return of Laura....and other popular vets!!

They can take Megan McTavish back ;)

Claire Labine worked at Guiding Light for awhile, and she wasn't that great. She didn't stay very long. I think she may have lost her touch. I like General Hospital. The ratings are poor for everyone, not just GH.

She was also butting heads with Paul Rauch and Mary Alice Dwyber-Dobbin. There are very few HW's that could put out good material with them around.

I have a hard time believing this b/c I thought Frons and Guza were good friends; however, with GH's ratings tanking, we all know that Frons would do anything to save his favorite soap.

Are the ratings really that bad? I know I've stopped watching...

PLEASE! Anybody new. PLEASE!

The writting has gotten better since Pratt left.

And it was JFP that Genie couldn't get along with.

  • Member
LOL, Evan! Yeah, it must be!

Seems like every soap is getting a new HW:

1-Y&R: Lynn Marie Latham

2-DAYS: Hogan Sheffer & Beth Milstein

3-AMC: some man not yet announced, lol

4-GH: possibly Claire Labine and Michael Val Jean

I guess daytime really wants to be competitive now.

It's about DAMN time, too!
