I hated Thanksgiving weekend…not because i got sick of eating turkey for four days or my fathers constant farting in the kitchen…that four day weekend was horrible without my soaps and gave me a scary look to what it would be like without my soapy afternoon…glad General HOTpital is doing great…no matter what stories or characters we like or dislike we got to be grateful to Frank and Ron(even with some writing flaws) for their help in keeping our favorite genre alive!!! And a BIG thanks to Micheal Fairman too…this site is the best support system we have for our soaps!!!

great news……..it is #1 to me and always will be:>)

I am ‘soap alive’ once again!!
I can hardly wait for next day and weekends are now longer waiting for Monday!!
GH has become near prime time..
It has a ton of variety, its faster paced, the stories are outstanding in drama, surprises, suspense, thrills, love and heart ache, comic relief, tears and laughter, holding tight onto history..
FV, RC, Actors and all the staff are top notch; they rule the soap world!

Brava and so well deserved ! Frank,Ron and the cast and crew of GH delivered must see tv !!

What wonderful news!!!! Congratulations to Frank, Ron, the entire superb GH cast and hardworking people behind the scenes. It is soooooo refreshing to see this fantastic turnaround!!!! Long live General Hospital !!! I am thrilled to see their extensive time and effort payoff.

GH is so entertaining and up to par with some of the primetime and cable shows with the entertainment factor that I like..That said, its bitter sweet for me to see the way GH’s regime under Frank and Ron, has revived this show while OLTL under the same regime was doing awesome, yet cancel by the biggest bozo in the history of daytime, Mr Frons!!! I been tuning in to GH, since ABC cancellation of AMC and OLTL and that is ONE of the reasons the ratings have gone way up..”Homeless soap viewers looking for a good and entertaining home”..But I am so happy GH has surge and I hope all the other shows ratings are up..Just maybe, our beloved genre is relevant again and our stories continue..I still have hope alive for the return of OLTL and AMC online or cable..

This is such great news! GH has really turned around with Frank and Ron at the helm. I can hardly wait for the next episode each day! Congrats to all of the cast and crew of GH, and thanks for all the hard work to entertain us!

Well credit goes to Robin’s story because that week was ALL the Scorpio family and Robin seeing Anna, Robert, Duke, Emma and Patrick? Faison getting his and Robin on her way home. Everyone I know was watching to see Robin again. TIIC Better be smarter than they were with TR and keep Kimberly and work with her schedule since many turned in to see her return to her husband, daughter, parents and family. Ratings proved that. Amazing ratings.

Too bad they let TR go since the Scorpio family is so popular. We should have been seeing Robert all this time so RC is full of it with his big story for Robert,if there was a story , we would be seeing Robert here and there in scenes now. Guess they only have time to fight for the OLTL people with PP.

Just wish they would acknowledge how much the 55+ viewers add to totals and percentage increases, even if we’re not a key demo. Looking at the numbers, we should be or they wouldn’t have reached these increases.

This Robin/Scorpios story with Robert/Anna has been on point. I know people who started watching again and they haven’t watch GH not since the late 90s..They were all calling me wow, Robert and Anna are back.lol

way to go GH, hope ratings keep going up and up.

Congrats, But thats when ABC will cancel it

It is so well deserved! I’ve been watching for 30years(most of my life), and I’m loving it more than I ever have!! Jason Thompson along with GH as a whole deserve Emmys!!

The two scenes that I will always remember about this storyline will be the moment Emma saw her mommy; what she said, her running to her, and the look on her face, as if she was crying uncontrollably. This quality of acting out of a child. WOW. The other was when Patrick was talking to Robin, and the tears were just flowing. Outstanding.

Congrats & well-deserved.

I hate to be Debbie downer ,but what were they thinking when they allowed Tristan to go to the competition? These ratings went up not, because of RC ‘s writing but because they brought back the vets. The Scorpios , Anna and Robert in the lab what fun. Anna getting the best of Faison, Robins return . Now I am Debbie downer. Robin should have been with Patrick telling him exactly what she went through to get back to her family. The tears were a nice touch, but Brooklyn was adorable. RC copied that from the history of the show .Anna and Robins history. I am happy that sometimes they do the right thing, but I watched everyday in real time commercials and all because of Robins return. Sabrina who? This should be a lesson to them listen to the fans they watch and if you tick them off they don’t. Congratulation but Don’t get to full of yourself. get Tristan back .You pay TG 1.5 million give some to Tristan and Finola. The only time lately Luke was watchable was when he was with Anna and Robert.

WOW!!! Congrats to all the actors, crew, directors, writers.. You have entertain us and it is must see tv. I made sure im free from 1p-2p. All cellphones off, don’t and answer home phone. GH has been amazing so fresh. My mother DVR’s GH and watches, right after work, she to is so intrigue GH. I believe my whole family watches GH.. GO GH, YOUR AWESOME. Cannot wait for Mondays episode.

Cograts to the Writers Producer,Director and of course the Actors &Actresess

Now Ron &Frank……..

Work your magic for Sammatha,Silas Danny,Alexis, Julian

That’s the story I really want to see!!!!

I would like a baby story line for Sam……I know everybody hates it

But you can have a certain character come back (ha ha ha) They should less the blow a bit…

Congrats to GH

Keep it Going!!!!

Congrats and well deserved. Keep up the drama, romance, and fun.

Very, very happy for the show. They deserve all the accolades. This is what can happen when you write good stories and showcase the tremendous talent of the best actors in daytime… The Scorpio family. The biggest mistake is that they let Tristan Rogers go and did not have him front and center all year.

GH ROCKS BABY

well deserved congrats to all

First of all, congrats to “Cartini” for helping a bright ship. Second, credit goes not only to the head writer and head producer, but the entire cast and crew. Kudos to them all! Third, if I had to single out a person, I’d mention Kimberly McCullough. The Robin return storyline is possibly the most captivating one in years, headed by the uber-talent Kimberly. Fourth, what I like about Cartini is the (1) increased balance they brought to the show from the “Unholy Trinity” days of Guza and (2) the bringing back of veteran actors/characters. For these 2 things, I’m forever grateful. However and fifth, Cartini is very far from perfect, IMHO. They have not eradicated the misogyny of writing that was so blatant under Guza. There are still too many story lines of women obsessed with men, or whose lives revolve around men, to name just one misogynistic element of Ron Carlivati’s writing. Second, Carlivati does not know how to write couple, much less supercouples. NONE of his pairings have reached “super couple” status of yesteryear, e.g. Luke & Kaura or Sonny & Brenda. In fact, Carlivati keeps apart couples with great chemistry and popular following. One great former soap head writer once said (and I’m paraphrasing): “The key to good daytime writing is simple: give fans what they want.” Finally, Carlivati doesn’t develop characters and story lines well at all; he’s more plot-driven than character-driven. These are grievous flaws on any producing team. So in conclusion, I’m very happy for the ratings and congratulate Cartini for their contribution to these numbers. However, I’m afraid such success will overshadow their flaws and moreover, enable all these things that really do need to change. Too bad. The long term outlook of soaps is still not good.

I have been enjoying this show since the new command. Ron and Frank have gotten rid of the focus on a few which did nothing to improve GH status for some years. Now we get to see vets come and go but instill some of the history. I do miss some of the younger actors and of course I still believe the biggest error was killing Jake. They had such storyline potential and blew it away to push another s/l. Please give Liz a new love, hot and rich but but in a quiet way. Becky deserves a bigger screen presence.

That is wonderful news and more proof that ABC needs to rethink their position that SOAPS ARE DEAD! COMBINE AMC & OLTL – Call it MY CHILDREN’S LIVES since both shows occur in PA, it is a win win. We would have Lucci, Slazak, The Cain Women, the Kramer girls and such colorful and wonderful story lines.

Yay for the show , yay for the fans …GH is the best soap ever

Excellent numbers. AWESOME job, RC, FV, crew and cast! Proof that some tender loving care and actual respect can cure a soap from its deathbed. Actually, not totally, because OLTL was on fire and got cancelled, but you know what I mean. ONE LIFE had the ratings and the acclaim, but GH had the stronger brand. Here’s hoping that those in power take notice, defy their histories of corporate idiocy and bring back OLTL and even AMC, perhaps in 30-minute slots each.

Don’t forget that there are men out there who like G.H. like me for the past 36years!!! Thru the good and bad!!

I’m a big fan of Kelly Monaco. So where is “Lead Actress” Monaco? FV/RC like to use her to promote the show (The Chew, etc.) and then give her crap on GH. In fact Kelly had more airtime on The Chew than she does on GH. Last week RC used her to bring up the name of “Lucas” to Julian…..that’s it. Kelly needs a young, sexy, handsome, BUFF actor as her new love interest. Still waiting for him to show up. I’m very disappointed in her lack of airtime with no story.

GH is my favorite show on TV. When the weekend comes and it’s not on TV it really bothers me. I’ve been watching GH since 1981 and it really just keeps getting better and better. The writers are wonderful and the actors are the best. I think the actors that portray Patrick and Sabrina should gets awards this year. Also I would add in your article that men are also watching GH, its not a show just for women.

Here’s the problem with their celebrating…. they have very little competition!!!! It’s the only soap left on ABC!!!! They should have a huge increase. It doesn’t mean the show is worth watching in my opinion…

Michael Fairman,
Wouldn’t life be so much easier for the characters on GH if you wrote stories where they all got along. you could have all the bad guys realize the errors of their ways and repent and become productive members of your created fake society and perhaps role models for the fake youngsters on GH? No more strife or angst ! A perfect world where good is the rule of the day and everyone’s goal is to get along. I would be a ratings blockbuster. No need to thank me…. Just consider it and keep up the good work

I am not that thrilled with the writing. They have very little competition!! Therefore, it appears that they are on top of their game, but I don’t see a celebration. The show needs to bring real happiness back into the lives of the characters. It appears to me that the characters are never in a happy, loving, lasting, and caring relationship(s). In real life people are happy, married (long term), have children by their husbands, and not sleeping with a whole town. I am newly retired, married 28 years, and I know the stories are for our enjoyment, but they also create problems for people who believe that the world is like that. I was sad when Sabrina and Patrick did not get married. I thought they were a dynamic couple and they bring a sense freshness to the story line. They are both very attractive individuals and they look great together. I feel they deserve a chance to be in love and create a family based on the love. My true feelings are; it is too much hurt, people against each other, backstabbing, anger, not enough true love, not enough honesty, and trustworthiness. People on the show fall in and out of love in seconds. They sleep with each others son, husband, brother or boyfriend. This is my opinion.
