GH is so dahmed empty of intruge..
It’s become a Harlequin novel, sapy campy.
Shelly and Jean suck/horribly lackluster and have turned GH into a normal runofthemill pile of junk.

I miss GH, the real GH that put me on the edge, made me laugh,held me in suspense, gave me WOW moments, and made me want to see the next day.
I miss the darker intriguing whodunit stories. I miss everything that was GH ..

For godsake get rid of the Queens of Snoze !!!!

That was an episode that was very good from start to finish, which rarely happens. I like the character of Andre and would like to see him with Anna. I’m sure it’s Dr Mayes who is the one killing the patients and not Finn.

Jordan has felt jealous/uncomfortable towards Anna re: Andre since the beginning…no fault of Anna’s. She should trust her instinct and bow out of a relationship with him. And after what he admitted to Anna, especially as a professional shrink, he should do likewise. As for Anna…this still isn’t the romantic guy.

We know Carly won’t stop until she gets the truth about Josslyn’s transplant. As her mother, she wants to know. And as Carly, she can’t help herself, even if Jax or Elizabeth wouldn’t want to pursue more info…IMO.

As for Finn, as much as I’m interested in his character, he really does set himself up to others wondering about him. He has a right to his privacy but it can be hard to maintain in a close hospital environment, drugs missing, and especially when you have Kiesl on you case. If it’s about finding a cure for himself and, I think his wife’s death, wonder why he wants to be so secret?

I really liked the short scene between carly and Liz. They will never be best friends but the bond as mothers, particularly their shared experience with joss and Jake, is nice to see on screen once in awhile.

If I recall correctly, Franco was involved with Carly at the time of the kidney transplant, so, judging by his demeanor today, I think he was behind it. Also, I’m all for the Anna-Andre-Jordan three-way which will never, ever happen….

Franco is the kidney donor….

Jean and Shelly’s sacrificing of character development in favor of all things mob-related rendered the scenes between Anna and Andre flat. You can’t pair a character as beloved as Anna with a two dimensional character who’s been on a handful of times since he was introduced and expect them to have any rooting power. It also doesn’t help that the friendship between Anna and Jordan has more chemistry than anything Andre has with either woman.

As I’ve said before, Dr. Mays is clearly the one behind Lucas’ attack (and probably Josslyn’s mystery kidney) so there’s zero suspense in the Finn storyline. This plot might’ve worked if Dr. Mays and Finn had been on the show more than a few months but at this point it’s one new character getting blamed for the actions of another new character.

Today’s show had its moments, although the pacing still seems off. But I want to mention something else that bugs me about GH lately.

I realize soaps aren’t supposed to be uber-realistic, but I think they need to be when possible, so it all doesn’t go too far over-the-top. Some scenes lately are just hard to swallow.

For example, when the PCPD was questioning people at Wyndemere about Nik’s “death,” everyone was in one room so they could all chime in on what other people were saying. C’mon! Everyone knows the first thing you do is separate people to see if their stories match up.

It was the same way when Sam sat in on Jason’s questioning at police HQ. As if!

The latest “say what” scene was the accusations against Finn at the hospital. Monica would pull him into a private office to discuss the syringe, not talk about a delicate HR matter in front of other staff.

It’s crap likes this that makes me think the writers don’t respect the fans. Up your game.

The only characters/storyline that I am following is the one with Alexis and Julian. Nancy Lee Grahn brings her “A-Game” to each and every scene; and I love William deVry (sp). Jason and Sam are as boring as ever. I’m not too invested in Andre and Jordan. Tired of Sonny and Carly and the rehashed script-Sonny protecting his family, how much they care about and love their children, love each other, blah, blah, blah. I do love when Emma visits, liked seeing Felicia this week, and I love, love, love, all things Quartermaine.

Andre and Anna??? Really?? Is Anyone feeling a connection here for these two? I am not .. .this storyline is bad writing for me…

Finn’s syringe!! Ah!!
Well, I don’t think the syringe will be the problem. The problem will be the contents of the vial, which Dr O switched with the narcotic “Fentanyl”.
Well…..it’s more than possible; it’s probable. I love Liesl and her warped brain, et al; but, can’t put the vile( no pun, lol) deed past her, considering her criminal history.

Oh…sorry…forgot…
I am glad Anna does not return Andre’s romantic feelings. Soooo wrong for her. He is so mechanical….he’s just there!! Too much of a stiff for Anna. She is so vibrant; even when melancholy….she simply exudes that “je ne sais quoi” factor. And, I am certain, this is Finola’s personality, as well.
Nonetheless, Anna loved the rapport she shared with Andre. Too attracted to her, so he just truncates their friendship? Won’t that fact elicit questions from Jordan and/or others? Hmmmmm. Is he being gallant?…..or just inconsiderate and selfish? He thinks too highly of himself; that’s what I think. I do not ever remember Andre smiling. I must keep an eye out…LOL.
Let Jordan have at him. They are a perfect match. Neither steams up the window-pane for me.

Very boring scene – Andre is no match for Anna. The writing is really weird these days. I do like the Finn story however.

Thoughts come to me in bits and pieces. So, forgive me for the redundancy….
Now that Anna is ‘researching’ MATCH DATING, to which her precocious granddaughter introduced her, could Huxley or Ray Berlin be a prospective date? Just saying.

Will be curious how the writers pen a path out of the crazy-a** story twists of recent years. Too much crazy does make it more difficult to invest and to care in my Port Charles family, but I try!

andre is a two timer. both women need to move on.

I think both story’s are great. Giving Anna a great story-line is important to long time fans like me. Also, bringing back “evil” Dr. O is great. She’s a marvelous actor. Also, please PTB, keep the Monica involved in hospital matters…the character is part of GH history. Ohhhh…btw, Michael Easton is awesome. He brings A+ work to every scene he’s in!

Andre has more heat with Anna than with Jordan. I wonder of his rejection is going to be the thing that makes Anna leave town? Don’t like the way they’ve turned Jordan into an insecure, jealous woman.

Only reason I am tolerating this stupid Josslyn kidney story is that it will bring Jax back!

Hoping the Finn payoff is worthwhile. I’m guessing he is experimenting on himself in service to curing whatever disease killed his wife. Not sure why he would have to hide that though.

i’m not surprise andre has feeling for Anna but i’m not a fan of them together. i find him boring for her, still i like the scene as it played out, i’m not happy about jordan, its clear she’s jealous of Anna, poor Anna needs her real friend, like Felicia, they should start their p.i business together like the old days minus Sam she can “pretend” she solves cases when we all know its spinelli who does all the work. and please lets get julian taken down already, that sleezebag is just a waste of time..

I am still a HUGE fan of what GH does daily. Their cast is stellar. The pacing is pretty consistent. And the sets and lighting are great. My main beef is that the writing doesn’t have the pop that Ron Carlivati gave it. The humor is missing and intrigue. I loved Ava with Nikolas. That was fun to watch. And the new character was bouncing off the charts with Maura West since they had worked together back on ATWT. I can’t remember the new character’s name but it is fun to watch him. Trent is a great character actor. I hope they find a way to make him stay. Jordan’s story is not catching on because there is no consistency in her feelings. She changes with the weather. Andre is definitely not interesting to watch. He has zero chemistry with Anna. Anna needs to get back into the world and start living again just not with a stick in the mud. I think that the writers Jean and Shelly are great as co-writers just not as head writers. I seriously don’t know why Ron was let go. He brought sparkle, pizazz and humor to each character and really tried to fit EVERYONE into the various stories. I want Jason and Sam to not be on the lam all the time. They need to focus on being a couple again and parents to their kids. Sonny is a mobster. I get it. He will be what he will be. So let him do that and stop complaining that he is what he is. I like his character and I like the consistency of always be true to the character. Carly is always a delight to watch. I love watching Liesl do her wicked thing. She is working the borders of camp and pure evil on a massive scale. I want to see her involved in more of a story than just being a thorn in someone’s side. Dr Finn? He is interesting but I just don’t care for Michael Easton’s acting style. He is one of those male characters who can never change their vocal delivery so their lines always sound labored. I want to know why he is drugging it up of course BUT I just wish there was a better actor playing him. I am still a great supporter of GH. I want to see it shine. I believe it can. It took a while to get rid of JFP from Y&R so maybe we’ll see new writers soon at GH.

I continue to intensely dislike what Altman and Passanante have done to GH. I find half of the characters on the canvas to be intolerably smug and self-righteous (especially Sam, Jason, Sonny, Carly and Curtis) and the other half just plain dull and stuck in pointlessly destructive stories. I usually watch live, so much of the time I tend to either put in on mute or switch over to Buzzr (new classic game show channel) for reruns of “What’s My Line?” and “I’ve Got a Secret”. It’s much more entertaining.
