I'm not sold yet, but I think he has the potential.<br /><br />Please PTB, get rid of Valerie and Kiki, characters we don't need at all. Nina, even Franco (though I've always loved Roger). Obrecht, Ava (a good actress, but has run out her entire usefulness). Sonny--Oh, I would LOVE to see Sonny gone, but I know that ain't happening. But at least retire him. He's another character who has long ago run out any usefulness whatsoever. Any story you could give him he has already done ten times at least. <br /><br />Get rid of the PC mob. Why does this relatively small town NEED a mob? With Shawn, Duke, Carlos gone, we have a good start. Now finish the mob and let's get on with good, solid soap stories, the kind that involve characters we love, like Anna, Alexis, Monica, Tracy, Laura, Nathan, Maxie, Lulu, Olivia, Ned, Julian, etc. This show is overflowing with talent, but there are just too many stories and not enough of any. I love Anna, I always loved Laura--these should be the main GH leads. Then Alexis, Olivia. Excellent characters and talent. Then Monica, Tracy, Bobbie, as the older generation, rich in history and knowing each other well. Patrick, Sam, Liz, Michael, all good for the younger group. <br /><br />Some careful pruning would help emensely.<br /><br /><br />soaploverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15017965067251094471noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-48776126153052689162015-05-24T19:29:27.129-04:002015-05-24T19:29:27.129-04:00"neaneah said...I'm just trying to get pa...

Robin told AJ that Michael was his kid, and look at all the repercussions since. Sam told Julian that Olivia's baby was his. So, are we gonna get years of strife because of that little revelation?

Frank & Ron ha...Carly/Sonny remating is a bore. Frank & Ron have negated all her character growth. She was the best w/ Jax. Ron might be able to start interesting stories but he doesn't seem to know how to make them work... the soap genre consists of 3 storylines going at the same time... one just starting, one in the middle of its arc and the last winding down. All 3 stories should be highlighted during each week at some point allowing the audience to keep abreast of what's going on. You don't start a story, then wait 4-6 weeks to pick it up again. GH is overloaded w/ cast - many of whom we could care less about. Good dialogue writers can't make silk out of a sow's ear no matter how good they are. We should have seen Ava confront Silas on where he got the marrow or something about her treatment... we don't needs shit to happen off-camera to be explained later thru exposition. We need to "see" stuff not be "told" stuff. GH needs to trim it's cast and learn how to construct stories w/ real character arcs. And you're right, Karen, the only character that seems to have grown this entire year is Michael. I used to love Kiki, but this truly horrible actress has destroyed her. And Morgan is a whining, entitled rich boy. A redux of AJ... in fact the whole Michael being the "good/favorite" son and Morgan being the "forgotten" on (in his eyes) is a redux of AJ and Jason - which would be fine if it were written as well as the AJ/Jason story was.

Love my Sunda...Thanks for the great read, as usual. Love my Sunday morning coffee and blog.<br /><br />I wish they'd recast Monica if Leslie Charleson is unable to continue. I know they want to go with younger actors because they said it was hard to have love interests for older ones. Love interests?? Just make her what she is - the family matriarch. No one expects great grandma to have a freaking love interest. We want to see her bickering with Tracy and sticking her nose in family and company business. Edward was recast several times and he never had any love interest. He was just a cantankerous old man that we loved to hate. All communities have an older generation. Even a soap community!<br /><br />And that brings us back to Morgan and Kiki. Yes, they're young and young people love getting it on, but that's not what they do all day and night. For the love of G.. Give them jobs! <br /><br /> Why haven't Sonny and Carly cut Morgan off after the baby fiasco? Have a story where he's actually trying to figure out what to do without someone giving him a job he's not qualified to do. Have him go back to college or join the armed forces. ( I think that would be a great way to redeem this character and have him grow up!)<br /><br />Silas should say he's staying in NY and he's giving up the apt. so that Kiki also has to stop freeloading. Whatever happened to her getting a job at the hospital? Wasn't he going to get her a job years ago? Have her changing bedpans and cleaning up ( not some cushy PR job) till she realizes that she needs to get some education and do something she'd actually like to do. <br /><br />Write something for them. Don't just push rewind on the sex button!<br /><br />I'm also going to miss Carlos. He was a good actor. I wish they'd shot Sloan instead. And Valerie. <br /><br />And you know where I stand on this Anna story. <br /><br />I don't want to get too negative so I'll stop right there. I will say I also hope Jake/Jason getting his memory back soon and that he doesn't go back to being a hitman. We need him back with the Q's. And Ned too. ( even if he's recast. *sniff* ) <br /><br />Come on writers....thinking caps...beginning...middle...and END...and easy on the camp.Dihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11268059592570027692noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-11425824617171863712015-05-24T10:30:06.949-04:002015-05-24T10:30:06.949-04:00Great blog Karen!

GH needs a head writer who can execute well-written, thought out, long-term storylines that give viewers something to invest in, with strong character development. Plot points just do not cut it. Off screen happenings and constant flashbacks are just lazy writing. It's very insulting to viewers. I'm very worried for the future of GH. *siiighhhhhMatchboxGinnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06329920630802640961noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8864344470910760864.post-44453808052214784122015-05-24T10:07:19.844-04:002015-05-24T10:07:19.844-04:00I love most of the show, but the storylines drag o...I love most of the show, but the storylines drag on too long.
