Happy about Valentini, not so much about Passanante and Altman. Hope they step things up and soon.

EXTREMELY angry over killing off Sabrina….we just got Teresa back…there was so much more for her….TERRIBLE DECISION

I actually like Jelly! They are not perfect… much better than Y&R’S new writers.

If Jane Elliot is leaving to retire…i hope they have good sense to write a good exit story for her…i see Tracy getting custody of Sabrina’s child and leaving town to reunite with Luke…show needs more Qs then…Brook lynn could return and be like Tracy…again AJ is alive and now played by Nick Stabille…

Okay, there it is, the death of GH! Frank doesnt care about the history or the fans and JELLY are a hot mess! Mark my words, IF you see a big names like Maurice or Nancy not renew their contracts after they expire, they know the end is near!

It has been rumored that if GH goes down it will be with this group they are not interested in making changes the writin is weak and Frank is just like JFP lets keep all my friends employed even if their characters are not working that well with the audience.

Interesting — oh to be a fly on the wall at ABC to find out all the behind the scenes drama that goes into negotiations like these– either ABC could get these three for dirt cheap or else a big chunk of the production budget went to them so they played hard balled with some actors– or had to get rid of some to afford them– who knows, all I know is poor Souu is not going to like this–

Bring back Teresa Castillo loyal fan Faith Sealock

Bring back Teresa Castillo

Yeah happy about Frank but P and A really need to step it up. GH is going down hill again.

FANTASTIC!!

I would love to see better storylines . I want to see more of GH core characters with interesting and believable stories. And for crying out loud let’s see some justice brought down on those dishing out torture. Writers please study the history of the characters and be consistent. Stop making up stories as you go along. Really disappointed in the way stories are written.

Happy for Frank, but we really need Ron back.
Say what you want about Ron, but he was certainly better than these two.

Same old. Same old. (Sigh!)

I don’t pay as much attention to the powers behind the scenes like many of you. So I do hope at least one of these people can inject some life into GH. Too many excess characters (I keep trying to imagine the meeting that gave the green light to characters like Aaron, Claudette, Valerie), not enough legacy character time (though lately that seems on the upswing), and truly great actors (Roger Howarth, Billy Miller, Jane Elliot) not given material they can run with to thrill us as they have in the past. I’ll keep my fingers crossed!

Seriously, who on earth calls these women “Jelly”?? Lol, that’s the lamest thing I’ve ever heard. But it’s appropriate considering what a hot mess this once proud show has become on a regular basis on their watch. I hope I’m wrong, but it clearly seems that ABC is purposely trying to tank GH and ultimately cancel it. Do the execs at ABC/Disney really think these women are doing a great job writing for this show? Do they actually listen to and consider fan feedback? It’s been an unwatchable, bloated, poorly paced snooze fest for the last year. I’m so sick… Read more »

Happy about Passanante and Altman, they’ve done some beautiful writing. Not so much about Valentini, please let story lines play out, and not just die on the vine. Michael and Sabrina would have been more dramatic, had we actually seen them together in a romantic SL in the past 3 months. Michael, Felix, Brucas, Molly, Kristina, Parker, all chillin at another coffee shop? We see them for 5 minutes every 2-3 months. Sad.

I have been a watcher since the 70s – thinking about calling it a wrap!!

Great news about Frank. Not that impressed with the writers. I much preferred the storylines when Ron was writing – so much more interesting

0ooh
$%*^%%^*!!!! Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante just $#@&^!!
I want them gone..
They destroyed GH, actually it is no longer GH it is empty of all that made it GH..
Those Idiots at ABC are killing GH with Shelly Altman and Jean Passanante…
This year is the year GH will fall, wait for it..

ITA with you Rodd. I am not happy with the writing at all. While Sabrina wasn’t a favorite of mine I did like her with Michael better than with Patrick. I do like Teresa Castillo and will look forward to seeing her in other projects. I won’t miss Bryan Craig. The bipolar storyline is important and the writers are playing with the medication. Not Cool! Personally, as proven with Michael Easton FV is able to reuse actors as new characters, I would throw Julian and Ava in prison where they belong. Keep the actors and create new characters. I guess… Read more »

I hope they do things to like Tyler back on gh please the fans want that so much I know yall can do it.

Apparently Disney and ABC hate GH.

The combination of this writing team and EP has proven to be a lethal combination. I believe the buck stops with the EP and he is to blame for the bad writing which has led to the loss of beloved characters and which favors his pets (Stafford, West, Howarth, Eastman).
First off the head of the EP and then give me the heads of the writing team.
It’s too bad the three of them are being rewarded for doing a terrible job.

I’m EXTREMELY disappointed Jean & Shelley are NOT leaving!!! They Absolutely ruined my favorite soap!!! I tape everyday now and I’m FF more and more lately. REALLY sad because there are some FABULOUS actors on that show. Each week things seem to get worse. TRULY DEPRESSING!!!

Not so happy….they are slowly destroying GH and all it’s characters.

I think Frank has done a good job with GH since taking over 4 years ago. But Jean and Shelly HAVE to go. They’re digging GH into the ground with stories that drag on far too long and lack the interest and substance they should have. The pacing is deathly slow, as show-days easily run for over a week (as evidenced by Sam spending over a week in her wedding dress!) and very little story progress is made in that time. Not to mention, GH is over populated with characters that viewers don’t care about who take away screen time… Read more »

Dumb move killing off Sabrina! Morgan and Kiki are boring!

I am not a fan of Jelly or Frank so far, I have a lot of concerns with the writing and the direction of the show, I can only hope things get better, the characters have loss a lot of their zing, there don’t seen to be any follow through , and a lot of the stories fall flat, there seems to be some people up front and others in the back ground. I need more balance with all the characters. Hoping things change.

Yikes! This news sent a shiver down my spine. General Hospital deserves better than what it’s getting from these three. ABC seemingly could not care less about this once-magnificent daytime drama or its loyal viewers.

I don’t care for the new writers, Frank is fiNE I suppose. I also don’t mind them bringing on ONE LIF TO LIVE actors, I miss them and the show! Killing off Sabrina was a huge mistake, I feel like they want to throw Michael with the kidney donor (can’t think of her name) My opinion is there just aren’t that many soaps left. Good or bad, if people stop watching because so and so leaves or quits or retires they’ll take GH away from us too! If your a true die hard fan KEEP WATCHING!

Stop adding characters. Let the extraneous ones go. Focus on core families and the show’s history. Gahhhh!

Bad move when you killed off sabrina need to bring her back like yesterday

Talk of the hospital closing makes me wonder if the network will pull the plug right from under our viewing eyes. Writers Jean and Shelley have been kept on is awful news. Bring Ron C. back. I think he and FV make a good team. All shows lag from time to time. I expect it. I couldn’t watch Alexis on today’s show on the stand. To see a successful woman reduced to drinking over the past few weeks. The writers should take responsibility for terrible writing about alcoholism and bipolar. In the wake of journalist Elizabeth Vargas’ real life story… Read more »

Greatly disappointed that Tyler is not coming back. The fans watch the show cause we love that actors that portray the characters in the show. The Quartermains. The Spencer’s The older characters are vital to GH. I have been watching since day 1 with my mother. I love the show and want to see it run another 50 years. Please stop killing off the ones we love. Get Tyler back. Bring Luke & Robert back Write for the viewers. Keep us watching. Why woul a writer kill off Alan Quartermain. He was loved. Still angry.

Please make the show more interesting. It seems storylines are recycled; no one has a happy ending. I actually do not look forward to weddings or relationships, because you know something tragic will occur. Surprise us with a happy ending for a change!

Also, storylines are dragged out way too long. Case in point – Jason’s memory, Paul’s murder spree, Sonny’s wheelchair stint. Writers, you got new contracts, now earn them please!

So i herd that Jean said she hated soaps. So then if that is the case then why is she behind the senses of a soap that is so well loved? Glad Frank is sticking around. I don’t know about Shelley.

With all due respect, I stopped watching General Hospital for good after the “One Life cast debacle”. It’s been going down hill for years. I can’t believe the executives at ABC cancelled One Life and All My Children and kept General Hospital going. Nothing against the actors, most of them are talented and do the best they can with the lame storytelling. But for them it must get frustrating! I honestly believe pretty soon all so papa will be on the Internet! I no longer watch any of the ones on TV but I do see the ratings falling steadily!!

Ok now. It’s time that y’all earned these new contracts. Like I stated on the Ava/Nina feud. You are sitting on something very explosive. Let the truth come out that Nina is her real mom. Have Nina flip out and finally attack Ava thinking she killed her. Have her bury her alive and later to come back and haunt Nina. After a few Ava sightings, have Nina go dig up the grave. Once the dust settles, Nina and Kiki begin their new relationship. As Ava begin her revenge on Nina, Kiki will be the one hurt and has an accident… Read more »

Another thing……… Todd Manning and Star must return. Blair and Tea are welcomed too. I hate to say this but Todd and Franco can be twins. Why not? They are popping up everywhere. Or not, send Franco over the edge and have Jason finally kill him. Todd’s pairing with Carly was awesome chemistry but what about with Nina? Hmmm. Roger Howarth is a phenomenal actor. Puts you in the mind frame of Robert Downey Jr.

And, once again, incompetence and failure are being rewarded. This regime has turned GH into a sad, incomprehensible joke. Characters that were once faceted and compelling are being made to look foolish. Stories seem pointless and gratuitously cruel. And, despite the spin TIIC try to put on it, ratings are sagging. At least CBS is trying to fix their mistakes with Y&R. ABC, on the other hand, is just making things worse. We life-long soap fans want to see GH live and thrive for many years to come. However, it’s painfully apparent that the network doesn’t share those sentiments.

Please don’t take GH off get good writers an don’t take main characters off we luved Sabrina Nicholas an Morgan what’s going on hope u can fix this problem we luv GH

Frank is understandable since it’s always pointed out how he brings the show in under budget. But Jean and Shelly…why? Their material over the last year has been lackluster at best — no suspense, no romance, no storyline payoffs — and fan reaction to the show over the last year has been less than enthusiastic so why can’t this show just admit it made a mistake and bring back Ron Carlivati? GH isn’t going to survive unless it moves the focus from the Corinthos family and back to the hospital where it belongs. The network seems to think that Sonny… Read more »

Bottom line: This is NOT good news…

I am fair. As I posted earlier the sadness of JELLY resigning, I must give them credit for Thursdays show. The dialogue between Lulu and Kevin and Monica and Jason was really good!
