Another soap! 🙂 We need more drama … less talk!

Hopefully once the rights revert back to ABC for AMC and OLTL, they will get over their failed strategy and to a hybrid soap of the former two. Wishful thinking I know but even they have to realize their attempt was an epic fail and cost millions of dollars and hundreds of jobs for nothing.

I agree 100%………..

ABC really screwed up daytime programming…BIG TIME!!!!!

I don’t understand how you can feel that way,. I love the character of Todd he makes me laugh, he is one of the best additions to this show in years. Gh was boring for about 2months, now its exciting and I can’t wait to get home from work, to watch it.

Well aren’t you just a fountain of judgemental opinions? I expressed my opinion on the article without trying to paint anyone else’s as ridiculous or stupid. For the record, it’s people like you , who think they are entitled to disparage any GH fan who doesn’t agree with their glorious rapture over the show, that has helped turn me off. So well done!

Exactly.

And “Didjanoit”, my response to you was exactly what you were looking for. Your post was a passive aggressive dig at other viewers, not an opinion. You wanted blowback, and blowback you got.
If you can abandon a show you claim to have loved for 40 years because of the inclusion of three characters from another soap then the show didn’t mean very much to you – which is why I doubt you were a faithful GH fan for any consistent length of time.
So don’t p#$% on the show and tell me it’s raining.

Actually “boes”, if I wanted to be psychoanalyzed, I’d pay someone who was qualified to do it. Your opinion of me and my motivation means less than nothing. Thanks for sharing though.

I am just as entitiled to stop watching GH after watching it practically every day for all those years, as all the OLTL fans who didn’t watch GH at all. Does having my own video library of over 400 six hour tapes and DVD’s, that I edited down to my favorite scenes and stories, count as being a fan of the show? Or am I only a “true” fan if I continue to spend hours of my life on a show I don’t enjoy much anymore? Should I be shamed into watching GH so I can earn the title of “true fan”?

Well said.

And “Didjanoit”, nobody and certainly not me is psychoanalyzing you. I don’t have to do that to see passive-aggressive behavior when I read it. For whatever reason you enjoy dissing the show you claim to love because it’s basically had a new wallpaper job. And I don’t know what a “true fan” is supposed to be. But I do know what a faithful fan is and that you are not.
So enjoy the tapes you say you have and revel in the world as you wish it to be in all respects.

But I suspect the thing you dislike the most is that things aren’t exactly the way you want them and what you really can’t stand is being called on your attempt to stir it up. Too many people think they can get away it because other people are too well-mannered to call attention to bad behavior.
I’m not.

Boes my sentiments exactly.When I first saw the reply my instinct was to take that reply and just tear itr up. But then I realized that made me just as bad so I sat back and waited. I knew someone would understand what I was trying to say. I also realize that people are entitled to their opinions. And like you said if “Didjanoit” wants to sit arould and watch tapes and relive what was then that’s their right too, Didjanoit is not a faithful fan and just doesn’t know the meaning of the word loyal either.

In my oiion, Didjanoit knows exactly what they are talkng about! I cant stand that all these OLTL viewer are coming on here acting like they know what GH is about! You all are just trying to re-invent OLTL in Port Charles!

Jeez angela when did they promote you and Boes to God status. I have been a 46 year fan . I watched long befoer utube Vcrs and dvds and worked nights to watch g.h. int he daytime along with Amc and One life. So to cal any fan not a true fan makes you look ignorant. How dare any of you call a fans not a true fan because she doesn’t agree with catastrophe Carvileti and that insipid Valenti and I’m being nice here. If they had brought the Lifer charterers on as new one there wouldn’t be that much hoopla . But they didn’t .Catastrophe and insipid frank want to continue one lifer and now he’s foaming at the mouth and not even denying that he want more lifers over . T the extinction of G.H. Cast/ The handwriting is on the wall Steve saw it and so has Jason Thompson Laura Wright and Bransford Anderson and Maurice B is seeing it. So Yeah they are trying to make it into the soap they murdered. yes that right they killed it as a fan of life since day can see it now. Wow some nerve yoy think you all have One life didn’t save G.H. the fans did and if the ratings lie posted are any indication than its not long to be aired. I think Boes calling anyone who happens to watch the old show not a loyal is rude and insulting and when did you appoint your self know it all of the G.H.? huh? i didn’t see the th Valenti anoint you king of opinions. Well did he?
Everyone is entitled and bad mouthing another one well just speaks volumes at what kind a person you are . Same goes for Angela .

That’s a good point, Glen! Also, if you do DVR GH, be careful to make the starting time exactly at the hour. The Spew runs right into GH without a commercial break. This is ABC/D’s way of syphoning ratings from GH to make the Spew look stronger! Also, after GH, make sure you change to another channel right away, or you will be giving ratings to Katie poo. These are the sneaky things that ABC/D is trying to get away with!

what ? does it really matter if their names are the same, or the characters the same? The characters of Todd Manning, John McBain, Star Manning are all General Hospital characters. There is no OLTL anymore – It can’t be ‘cancelled again.’. They are GH characters now. If you two don’t care for General Hospital, i dare you to find another soap that is produced or written as well as GH is now. I don’t care how they came up with a character name — they are making GH a much better soap than it has been in years.

Hey Guys I agree it is a huge “SLAP” in the face of G.H. fans and actors . Well the handwriting is on the wall Steve has seen it Jason T is seeing it and Laura Wright hey even Maurice is seeing it. when they disavowed any connection between Sonny and Carly or Sonny and Brenda making this absolute Kate the soul mate of Sonny is ramdamdiculous and every true fan of G.H, knows that Brenda and Carly were Sonny’s true loves. What these “writers” have done is destroy the intergrity of G.H. and replaced it with there insipid One life which they killed sure as shooting. Adding 3 of these character did nothing for the rating but it sure has opened doors to have more invaders show up and soon as those off contract with Prospect park you watch who shows up Melisa archer is in Hollywood prepping its in all the spoilers and even Old Valenti lying through his caps said he wants her here. So what happens to G.H. characters the ones who have given their blood sweat and tears to be here ?there tossed under the bus of for the lifer invaders that what and all the rumors of “which One lifer” is coming next is an insult to me as 46 year fan and should be to G.H. fans and not the”new” crossovers who know absolutely zilch about G.H. and its proven many times here.

Aw, boes, are you lonesome, bored, or a mental health student needing information for your thesis? You seem to be obsessed with using words like “irrational”,” passive-aggressive”, “rigid” and looking for ways to insult posters who are simply posting their own opinions about a television show. Why exactly are you so bothered by the opinions of strangers, that don’t agree with yours anyway? What prompts someone into personal attacks on people posting comments about a tv show?

Oh, I see! Anyone who has a different opinion than yours must be irrational and spiteful. Okay! ugh!

Didjanoit, my question exactly. What does prompt someone into attacks about a tv show?

You’re the expert on that one.

Opinions don’t bother me, but folks like you who use the posting boards to stir it up, now that does.

Done.
