2011 Wub Awards: General Hospital and Beyond

 What a year 2011 was for us soap fans. Not only did we see AMC end, OLTL will be done in January. The head writer for a decade at GH was replaced by a junior writer and then, the whole house collapsed. Brian Frons was gone, Jill Farren Phelps exited and we are looking at a whole new ballgame. Producer Frank Valentini and head writer Ron Carvaleti  are coming over from One Life to produce and pen our show after the deal fell through to bring soaps oneline.  What the heck MORE can happen? Although I count 2011 as one of the worst years in GH's history, the future is wide open for stories. The threat of cancellation looms large, but there is a window of time to at least look through and be hopeful for. Awards were difficult for me to do this year because of all the changes and story lines that made me insane. OLTL stands out as the stellar soap but the soap awards will be for GH only... I couldn't give EVERYTHING to One Life, you'd all kill me. I do have to say I loved the "Fraternity Row" episode/parody. Kudos to all involved. I haven't laughed that hard for a long time.
Kudos as well to all that stood to fight for the survival of soaps, no matter how loud or soft, we all made a stir and made the media take notice. 

Sit back, grab whatever libation you love and let's get those WUB Awards out!

It's the 2010 Wub Awards!!

That's right! Find out who got the best, worst, least last year!! 2010 Award Link
Agree? Disagree? It can't be worse that Soap Opera Digest  giving GH the "soap of the year"...(they are on crack, I swear). Both NLG and Kristen Storms tweeted how honored they were to win them some WUB!!  woot!!

Today's OLTL showcases why I love the show. 50-somethings making out--The Entire cast being used--no matter what their age!! Plus the history that's dredged up! I know some people say they are changing history, but I disagree. They at least use it for GOOD. Joey was proposing today!!? Come on. Inspired. Dorian telling Vicky about Charlie .heh 


GENERAL HOSPITAL: Johnny...shot again. LOL. Why doesn't he just offer Lisa something like sex or money? She's crazy!! 


S&Bers must hate Carly and Spin for interrupting.


Abbey and Michael=NO comment. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz Dear Lord. His face after he slammed that guy's head into the wall was like D'OH!!


Theo showed up!! He's my new Crudgemuddgen. LOVED when he asked Dante if he was 'left to die'!! Don Giovanni mention. (which totally fits in with the Guza motif)


OMG, this Balkan crap is SO STUPID I am so sick of it. IT's like the "Franco" mentions on speed. Dear GOD. If Theo isn't the Balkan then Guza decided at the last minute to change it...cause that's who it's supposed to be.

Olivia finds Johnny laying on the couch and Lisa is kneeling. heh There is NO WAY Olivia wouldn't realize he's been shot. And she didn't!! She KNEW he'd been hurt. That was a good scene. I love Jolivia and I don't want to see her with Steven but at least they are still on the show. AND come on, Jolivia can always have hot sex now and again. 


So, Steve says it's OK to do another autopsy. Uh..you need an exhumation order for that, anyone knows that!! @@ They say he's in the morgue because NO ONE claimed the body? He's been dead for 3 years!! So, even if they just fished him out of the river or wherever, he has to be bones right? :throwinguphands: whatever.

I'm sorry but I like Suzanne-- wow-- she's so fun AND stands up to Sonny. She went Bea Arthur on Sonny's ass today! hee hee... if they wrote for her better she'd be perfect.








Other stuff: We have about a foot and 1/2 of dang SNOW! Stupid Lake Ontario is dumping on us. Boooooooooooo. Walking the dog on my hill is such torture. sniff.
