I think...Everyone seems to agree something is off. I think it is a combo of four factors:<br />1. the cast is so bloated they don't know how to manage it. As a result we end up with Alexis and Anna, two of the stars of the show, off for extended durations. Others like Monica, Joss, Mac, Felicia are never seen. Actors that could carry a lead like Ks / Maxie are relegated to supporting players. Storylines (Mayor race, Lucas/Brad, Spencer burn, Brownstone, Maxie/Georgie) are dropped to the point that we no longer care<br />2. Cartini has run out of storylines to recycle and can't think up an original one.<br />3. Cartini only knows how to write campy crap. Falling ratings are showing that is not working. They don't know what to do if they cant write everyone as cartoons, romances for children, or sex depraved adults.<br />4. Some actors (TG/ Luke) are given too much control in being allowed to dictate their schedule and/or storyline.<br /><br />The powers that be need to focus less on recruiting big name actors, and focus instead on recruiting some big talent writers. Hire some prime time writers who know how to write drama, suspense, romance, police/hospital driven stories - then fire Cartini.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-56931209231457764802015-06-28T23:43:32.911-04:002015-06-28T23:43:32.911-04:00When we found out that Luke & Laura were leavi...When we found out that Luke & Laura were leaving to find Lucky, I got so excited.

They have to do him justice after 37 years as Luke. Other stories are sporadic because they need time to finish Luke's story. I believe things will be more like or usual GH when this storyline is completed. If we want GH to continue we need to support it even when we are not happy about stories on the show.Salliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12679242486149771701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-88452387162474345892015-06-28T18:53:38.157-04:002015-06-28T18:53:38.157-04:00Didn't mean the writing or the show is 'of...Didn't mean the writing or the show is 'off' I meant something going on behind the scenes.<br /><br />I love Cartini and loved them on OLTL and the start of their GH tenure. kdmaskhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308182064350109835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-75644859892444949552015-06-28T18:41:45.317-04:002015-06-28T18:41:45.317-04:00Something's off ??

I know I already said it but Nicholas trying to be all dark and gangster with his grandma's bitch comment almost had me rolling on the floor laughing,just not convincing for me. I would like to see Lucky come home and give him a bitch slap though. Not just for what he's doing now but for past transgressions too! I really savored the kiss with Denise and Franco which they acted the hell out of but the Ric and Donna kiss was nauseating. I too hope they can pull off some kind of hail Mary miracle and save the show.<br />gracegirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02510645366228220098noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-10972195343058802362015-06-28T18:12:35.211-04:002015-06-28T18:12:35.211-04:00Great recap of this week's shows.

I'm not really liking this evil Nikolas though. I liked everyone working together to discover what he was up to but there was no payoff, he got ELQ due to a lame reason from Lucy. I hope Michael and Tracy are able to fight back.Pandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04785846527081432219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-11141036358966696652015-06-28T17:54:14.627-04:002015-06-28T17:54:14.627-04:00"It's really crazy..it just grows..........."It's really crazy..it just grows.........IN MY PANTS!!"<br /><br />ROFL! <br /><br />"Morgan and Sonny were just...comic.

P...Carly just moved in with Sonny and left Josslyn. Pretends she doesn't even have a daughter. I agree the lack of Monica in the ELQ, Avery and Jason stuff is incredibly odd. Agree with you on the scenes of the week. Also loved Sabrina, Tracy & Sam working together. Love Roger & Maura and the exchanging the gum and him getting her accent was great. I care a little about Rosalie's story, but it better be damn good! I'm waiting for Lucky and Ethan. Glad to see Holly. Tyler was incredible as Dark Nik and he scared me when he went after Rosalie. I'm totally pissed at Sabrina and I'm a huge Sabrina fan. The writing is so inconsistent. She hates the mob, remember??? Who is running Kelly's? Who do Jake/Jason and Nathan pay rent to? Who is making the BLTs? Is Bobbie keeping Joss or did she fly off to Australia and no one told us?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07882389320756305091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-62196155038974823092015-06-28T12:00:16.650-04:002015-06-28T12:00:16.650-04:00I read somewhere that Carlivati promised not to ki...I read somewhere that Carlivati promised not to kill off Luke. That limited what kind of story they could tell but this is just awful. It's so sad that Genie came back for this flat, stupid story. The villain will probably be some long-dead person nobody cares about. According to TV Guide the Luke farewell lasts through August! It's hard to imagine how they can drag this out for 2 more months.<br /><br />darhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08129178239420753398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-84668153773950538462015-06-28T11:45:59.410-04:002015-06-28T11:45:59.410-04:00This was the highlight of my week...lol
"you...This was the highlight of my week...lol<br /><br />"you know, Morgan maybe if you had a job, you wouldn't be thinking about your dick 24-7".<br /><br /><br />hahahahaha. I wish Sonny had said it.<br /><br /><br />And your Amish comments are spot on. ( It's one extreme or the other on this show. )<br /><br />I enjoy your Sunday surgery so much. And we agree on so many points. <br /><br />I really enjoyed Nik this past week. He's finally getting something he can sink his teeth into. <br /><br />And I also no longer care about Rosalie's secret. it will probably turn out to be something so absolutely stupid that no one will care anyway.<br /><br />I can't believe that TG read this send off and agreed with it. It's so stupid so far. It should move faster and take up a big portion of each day to try to pull the audience back. I remember the adventures of the past. We tuned in every day because it was front and center every day. By trying to make this adventure last longer they've watered it down to the point of tastelessness.<br /><br />And Alexis should be on now too, reading Nicholas the riot act.<br /><br />Thanks again for a great read.

I don't watch very much anymore, but has she had any scenes with Nikolas since he suddenly turned to the dark side? She has always been there for him as they were the only " nice" Cassadines. I miss their relationship and she wouldn't tolerate or understand what he has become.

Next they will spend a night together with a bundling board between them. But, besides that, ITA the show is really strange these days, and not just in a campy way. Do the writers ever take a meta look at things? Like stand back and notice, oh we forgot to wrap that s/l up. Oh some MAIN characters haven't been on for months and we forgot to wrap that up. It feels like they write a few scenes on a s/l on one page, then take all the pages and toss them up in the air, grab the ones that land face up and "put on a show" ala Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland. So much potential w/ this cast it makes me wanna cry, then I just get disgusted and watch old Liason vids to get some feels. Don't even get me started on the travesty of Luke's send off.bellefleurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17802580205001071611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-19880106930612737772015-06-28T09:51:40.135-04:002015-06-28T09:51:40.135-04:00This was hilarious!

I cannot stand the flashbacks and the way they talk to each other about what is going on. If you missed the day before, tough! We don't need a recap every show! I wish they would get new writers - even I think the show is going downhill and I love this show! I DVR it every day and watch it while I eat my dinner....I would miss it if it were gone but they need to make it so much better than it is right now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17749021990453548923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-61179578549950193392015-06-28T09:15:22.313-04:002015-06-28T09:15:22.313-04:00Well, GM, I am first again :), was waiting this mo...Well, GM, I am first again :), was waiting this morning to get my SS fix!
