Please Enjoy this Yearly Edition of The Wub Awards in lieu of Sunday Surgery
This year on GH was steeped in death. The Deaths of Spencer, Esme, Gregory , Baby Irene, Sam McCall and Dex. All were powerful dramas in their own rights. It's always difficult for me to pick and choose over the year but I did my best. Do you agree?
Writing Shake up: So, the HW team went through quite the shift. Following the writer's strike, Both Chris VanEtten and Dan O'Conner were have thought to have left. Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahey were named at the top of the helm. It was then learned that CVE was still writing breakdown during this time. Then, Patrick abruptly left and Chris became co-head writer with EK. Cathy LePard was named "associate writer". Who knows what all this baking and shaking did to storylines and timing. We can only imagine.

YES! I agree with everything you said!!! :) Well except one thing.
ReplyDelete"Worst New Character: Violin Gio"
What?! No no no. I'm surprised you didn't say Natalia for worst new character! I pick Natalia for worst new character! I like Gio and I want Trina and Gio together after the new year. They are fun, sweet, and funny!
It was a toss up and frankly, she's so forgettable I FORGOT HER AHAHAHA
Delete"kdmask says, It was a toss up and frankly, she's so forgettable I FORGOT HER AHAHAHA"
DeleteYou forgot her! BAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!
I always enjoy reading Sunday Surgery and concur with the Wubby Awards. While Kristina’s fall isn’t my favorite story, I understand why you picked it. There were definitely far too many deaths on the show this year. While it will not happen, the show needs a moratorium death.
ReplyDeletewhat was your fave story?
DeleteYou have two "most missed characters". Agree but add a third....Dr. O. WTH is she?
ReplyDeleteMostly everything else is on point. I'd go for Natalia being worst, at least a tie.
I don't see TJ as best supporting and I LOVE the way Kristina dresses. Very casual and realistic. I'd give worst dresser to BLQ. But there could be more.
I will say once again...too many deaths, too much doom and gloom.
Thank you for continuing to give us an outlet. I truly enjoy this every day.
yes, Dr O as well. :( my Krampus Queen
DeleteI agree with all of your awards except for Lulu...I think that she should have stayed in a coma and Sam should have stayed alive.
ReplyDeletewell, I DID put that Sam's death was the worst storyline!! They both should be alive, imo
DeleteBest younger actor for me was James. I agree with all the rest.
ReplyDeleteLittle James actor is doing a great job
DeleteI agree with everything except I feel Brookie is the worst dressed (at least for her age).
ReplyDeleteI hope for an Esme return some day, I loved the actress!
Worst dressed was tough... Laura almost got it too. BUT I really can't stand that "casual lesbian' look Krissy had for awhile. I should have put "Most OVER-DRESSED" --that would be Brook lol
DeleteI agree with most of it. I think Finola Hughes and Genie Francis are up there for best actresses even though the writers have done weird crap to the characters. NLG did a phenomenal job recently.
ReplyDeleteI do miss Dr O and Scotty; they were so much fun. Lucy and Martin were great too until they split them up. VAnna I still miss. Stupid stuff has happened this year too.
I do like the new Lulu. Didn't think I would since I am a huge fan of Julie Marie Berman. The actress is doing a great job.
I too loved having the BJ actress back. She looks just like she did as a little girl but grown up!!
Delete---with all due respect - for sure Natalia is the worst new character....
ReplyDelete----agree with everything.....gosh I can't stand this version of Anna.....
"mufasa says, with all due respect - for sure Natalia is the worst new character...."
DeleteThe VERY worst!
"gosh I can't stand this version of Anna....."
Me neither!!!!
Natalia as most pointless character. The actress has the chops, but there is literally no story. And what story they did have for her - homophobe mom - wasn't exactly well executed. Ok, it was a stinkeroo.
ReplyDeleteMost wasted actress/character - Genie Francis/Laura. She should be on top of the front burner, not at the back of the stove.
Most missed characters - Spencer/Esme. These two crackled. The young set doesn't have the same verve and zip. ZZZZZ.
Gio is the new Dev.
ReplyDeleteBabe as Lulu was a great recast and I feel like has enough of GOAT Lulu Julie Berman's fire that she will continue to be good. Genie, Fin, and JJ deserve better writing for their characters right now though...Comeon writers you have Emmy winning talent with these 3! TIME TO UNLEASH THEM
