royal coolness.i cant wait.i wonder who the fake luke is.

I could care less about “pushing the envelope” type storylines. I want more friendships, romances, core families, and respect paid to the returning veterans. As for the gay storylines, that’s fine, but don’t “dumb it down” and write it stereotypical-which is being doneith Brad, Lucas, and Felix. I think that’s really sad and disrespectful. I think the writing has been all over the map and dreadful. DOOL has much more balance and the writers pay close attention to the veteran characters.

Timmm, I hadn’t thought of ” pushing the envelope” meaning “gay”. I have no problem with gay characters or storylines. I agree with @dmr’s take on it. I think TPTB want “shock and awe” and often miss the core of what is great character-driven story. GH is all over the map in their writing, balance and pacing. I enjoy the show, but they are so inconsistent and often miss the mark because they seem to want the next BIG thing. Whatever that is to them. Back to what Valentini said, the audience shouldn’t have to be challenged, TPTB at GH… Read more »

Ta-Da

Merci beaucoup

Whatever he means, it sounds rather ominous, doesn’t it??????

jimh…your Batman references made me LMAO!!!!! GOOD ONE!!!!! And…let’s not forget Batgirl and Commissioner Gordon…LOL!!!!! Yep.

Take care, dude.

This show really could use Batman and Robin if you know what i mean…it already has Mr.Freeze(Victor Cassidine) and his frozen family…the Joker(Franco, what a joke) and Catwoman(Nina) prowling around the hospital unnoticed…lol

GH doesn’t rock for many, myself included.

According to Kimberly (her words who I believe cover you)!she is with GH, it’s her home and they are working with her and she is returning and not short term. Your lies aren’t happening!

I sincerely wish fans would grab a clue…and boycott Disney for putting such utter filth onto daytime tv.

OMG, jimh! Perish that thought that our dear Mutter could have spawned that miscreant Levi!!!! To even consider that he could be part of a “Goofus and Gallant” birth duo with James/Nathan is even too far-fetched for Cartini! I have to admit I am flummoxed over whom could have produced the “Dunklemeister” unless he is really Bill Eckert’s son, Sly, but I should hope that if that is not the case, then we get a much more clever twist as to Levi’s parentage. If he is truly not an Aussie after all, that kind of puts to paid the notion… Read more »

@Dan…I could see the point of Stavros lurking about the last time around, because Laura was present, and they needed a gimmick to usher in “NuLulu”….it worked, but only because it didn’t last too long. However, I simply cannot understand Victor’s motive for wanting to revive this insane, loose cannon of the family, when there is a great assortment of other more worthy Cassadines from which to choose. First of all, Mikos, Tony and Alexandria Quartermaine were frozen way back in the Ice Princess days, so it wouldn’t be unreasonable to think they were kept in the cooler all these… Read more »

I agree Timmm. I love Stavros! He’s a particular brand of lunatic that always leads to some maniacal, crazy out there story…once again I say…bring it on! Could lead to great stories involving Nicolas, Spencer, Britt, Elizabeth, Lulu, Dante…on and on. Plus, Kelker-Kelly plays it so well. Just one smirk and ya know you’re in for a ride! I’d also love to see Stephan back. That would be a great setup of good vs evil brother…or maybe bad vs badder brother whichever way you look at it. I miss Stephan! Would much rather see these two back then Heather…she’s more… Read more »

Oh yeah, because placing those two insufferable, irritating, inane (and most of all, completely unnecessary…) nurses together in a single space could only make things better! Definitely not one of your typically bright ideas, jimh….even if it is only in jest! Quite frankly, we could do without either one of those polar-opposite, low-rent she-meeees….neither is exactly a prize for the guys! (Whatever happened to debutantes, models and other assorted GG’s being the young female lead characters on soaps????) I’d even rather see Morgan reunite with Kiki as opposed to cavorting with Sappy or Grossalie!!!! Although on a related note, I… Read more »

Shay! I do declare…hahha…you should be rooting for the working woman, the non-model, picture perfect starlet…Sabrina is so not “low rent.” She’s an accomplished, very intelligent, compassionate woman…heart of gold. Not the definition of “low rent.” Grossalie? She’s just rude, obnoxious and I’m sure has an agenda. So, in a sense it would be interesting if they were related…cousins perhaps…the good witch vs the bad. I don’t see Sabrina with Morgan; but I can see her with Michael. Just as I can’t see Gross with Michael, but she’s tough enough for Morgan. Where would that leave little Kiki? I’m loyal… Read more »

@rebecca1….As far as I can see, nearly ALL the of females populating GH are “working women”….no “ladies of leisure” there anymore, except for maybe, Kiki, Maxie (since her “Dunkledude” escapade commenced…) the faux-incapacitated Nina and retired Monica, so in essence, I do root for the majority of them, just not the two in question! (Besides which, I am not sure you can actually term what the uncouth Grossalie does as “work”…scheming lying, snarking, agitating, yes, but there’s precious little real “elbow grease” involved there…) What I was referring to, I guess, was a glaringly obvious lack of sophistication and social… Read more »

Tim…from your lips to Franks ears! I loved Roger as Todd… the role he is reduced to playing is downright crazy… he has no purpose, no job ( well until recently) has no money, no sex appeal….he reminds me of the absent minded professor! This whole Franco storyline is bizarre…. Lets hope they can get the rights to the characters back so we can get rid of Kiki and bring back Starr and Todd….don’t care about Mc bain or john…never had my interest… Carly and Todd were hot together! Carly with Franco is like a mother figure always taking care… Read more »

Love me some Todd. The Franco thing was a terrible idea for the awesome RH!

not sure that would ever happen… even after all these lawsuits with Prospect Park are over and done with… They just need more in-depth story lines for Franco like they did when Carly was kidnapped. Hate that Carly slept with Sonny, which was a total set up of Sonny’s… he wants an excuse to kill Franco to keep him completely silent about who Sonny and Ava killed (separately). I hope he’s got letters to Diane, Anna, Michael and Kiki in case of any accident he may be involved in… “Dear anna, ava was the sniper who tried to kill me… Read more »

I agree about the continuity part…hope that changes…also hope the return of some heroes and heroines and not just villians!!!

Robin was never rescue the first time! They need to do it right!

@mellowYELLOW, soared? Did you miss the part of my “nonsense” comments that pointed out that the GH total audience is only up 15-20% from the time under Guza and Wolf, when the show was on the chopping block? Did you miss the part that pointed out that the current numbers in 18-49 are identical to the last six weeks of Wolf? Number one in 18-34? Y&R has regained its 18-34 audience and beat GH two of the last three weeks. GH is also down in 18-34, under 200,000 viewers where it had been. ABC isn’t keeping GH on the air… Read more »

Bah ha ha! Bob, thank you for the very funny comment.

The best at what?? Honouring history? Nope. Utilizing vets? Wrong. Listening to fans? Uh-uh. Character driven stories? Nope…all plot here. Stories that make any kind of logical sense? Nope. I could go on…I just wonder what you think this show is currently the best at? Under Claire Labine and Wendy Riche it was the apex of what soap opera could and should be. Now it is a frickin cartoon.

As someone who has “tuned-in” Since April 1, 1963; I have seen so, so many actors, writers, producers, etc., etc., come and go. That being said; the show today, is the best produced, acted, written GH, since the “Gloria” days of the late seventies. Bringing on FV and RC was genius and I for one, have only been disappointed once since they came aboard. That was this past week with the crap about the three ways they were discussing. And that is totally generational. At my age, REALLY?!?!?!? Any actor that is lucky enough to some to GH now…congratulations. I,… Read more »

Ok, maybe some are treated by the right docs…but not always…and it is still silly all medical problems are rushed to the 10th floor…

Only….youre forgetting one thing….Jax isnt a leering 65 year old murdering psychopath. I wouldnt put it past Ron to retcon it that way…he has destroyed just about every other legacy character on the show…however…the clues have been laid in….Fluke hates Tracy for what she did to his sister. That is Bill Eckert. Unless Ron creates more made up history that no one cares about (Nina, Silas, etc etc etc) then no….its not Jax.

What I want to know…whats with the shootings that have absolutely no impact or long term effect on story?? In the past year alone…AJ…Connie…Olivia…Max…Lucas…Mac…i know im forgetting someone. Even under the Phelps Guza reign of terror we never had that many pointless shootings! Lucas got shot…then was not seen on air for weeks or months…then suddenly he is up and it talking about gay threesomes. I see being shot really kade him examine his life priorities. Now Mac….we wont see him on screen for 3 weeks until he has a band aid on and is recuperating. And when…oh when…did Felicia… Read more »

Standing Ovation! Couldn’t have said it any better.

Hot Diggity Dog Diggity!…..

I commented below and that’s why I think this change has taken place. I’m sure of it.

Dan- first of all, you’re wrong about people wanting GH to be cancelled just because they talk about the reality that exists. Second, You don’t need to drag Michael Fairman or Michael Logan into this as a way to suggest that I or anyone else is discrediting their reporting. GH isn’t in danger of being cancelled soon and maybe not at all because they still have an opportunity to improve the show and build up some real numbers. But what is the definition of soon anyway. GH was renewed through 2015. That’s almost a year and a half from now… Read more »

oh god, no heather please, last round was exhausting, and way to long, pleaaaase no heather.

On the contrary, Timmm, our Heather is cagey enough to know EXACTLY how to handle FLuke! I’m still divided on whether she was part of the caper to switch the “Two Lukes” at the nuthouse, or if she was totally unaware. If she didn’t have a hand in it, I would love to see her play a heroine for once and help to rescue “Real Luke” from his captivity.

Kind of reminds me of when Sarah Michelle Geller did that cameo as “Erica Kane’s daughter” on the waning days of AMC.

Please don’t insult A.J.’s memory.

Yes, and he has already been besmirched in life and particularly, IN DEATH! Enough of the AJ bashing.

I know. But this is a soap. He can have kids out there we don’t know about. Don’t forget he disappeared for a time before he came back as Harold Williamson.

Hey Johnny! While I completely understand your reasons for bidding “au revoir” to GH, I am most gratified that you still see fit to visit and post here….I simply love the way you encapsulate, enumerate and express the many egregious aspects of this once venerable show. Please don’t go away…..

@johnny

LOL

“… It feels VERY good when you stop!! ”

hilarious

Johnny…Shay is right!!!!! And, Johnny…as far as I’m concerned, you have a VOICE (verbally speaking and all) and you know how to use that VOICE…BEAUTIFULLY!!!!! Always, always remember that.

Take care, bro.

A-C-E-S!!!!!

I agree with Shay, Johnny…keep posting…you’re one of the best…loved what you said about Carly and the girls above…actually im suprised its not a scene on the show!!!

LOL! I quit Days last year and never watched B&B or Y&R 😉

I hear ya Johnny!! haha …. I guess I like to torture myself daily.
