Used to be a big fan of the show but stopped watching in early June ... lurk here occasionally to see if I ought to pick it up again - doesnt seem as though there's much going on to justify it... correct?

oh right I did see the Lucky episodes in mid July and remember that. the scenes with he and Luke were pretty great.... I guess I mercifully forgot about the Jake stuff and Nik telling him about Jason. Was hoping that Patrick would have found out and kept the truth from Sam in order to hold on to her.

Interesting that you bring that up... Ryan as AMCs Sonny was one of the things that turned me off as a viewer after being a loyal every day viewer since pretty much day 1. That and everyone clamoring that "Babe is Love". I left and didn't go back until Broderick was writing the final months (which were pretty good all in all). But back to GH - who now knows that Jake is Jason? Liz, Nick, Laura, Greenlee... anyone else find out since I stopped watching in June?

Haven't watched in months either, but I like coming here to read comments too. And that carbon monoxide comment IS brilliant... although is depresses me that apparently after several more months, Sam and Patrick have even less chemistry than they did this spring (which is really saying something, all things considered).

Since that was the "Baby Switch" era which was followed by the "Babe Is Love" era, that is feint praise.

It would have been much easier to forgive her later on if (at least part of) Liz's motivation from keeping Jason in the dark was to prevent him from returning to the mob life (and being torn that she was keeping him away from Sam and Danny).

but, haven't you heard? Sonny is love! All we need is Stuart Chandler to make a cameo on the show to voice it.

I don't see ever watching this show again. Sad to say, nothing I've read on these boards makes me want to actually watch an episode, especially if they are undoing Michael Quartermaine. RIP GH

Reading through the comments here - seems like there's no compelling reason to get off the barge and see the actual show. Do the people who write this know that terrible show = no viewers = they are out of a job? Sonny shot? I do not care. I do not care ATALL <wink>

I always find it interesting how a new writing team chooses which stories to continue or to conclude (or just completely drop). For Nathan, I don't think Ron even knew so it'll just get lost until someone is looking for something to do with the character and then they'll grab it. I actually kind of like when there are some secrets that are just out there hanging. I don't think this particular one is compelling enough to warrant years and years of teasing, but in general there have been secrets that can take on a life of their own over time (like Who Killed Victor Lord? is probably the best in all of daytime).

I think I hated Jason Morgan mostly because of his shoddy treatment of Alan and Monica. The Qs did note abuse him in any way as a child or as an adult and yet he treated them as though they had locked him in a closet and beat him with a wire hanger.

Jacob here... was on the barge from about 2005 - 2012 - whenever FrankenRon took over - would watch a half an episode every six months to a year just to see if the Sonny/Carly/Jason show would ever end. I had hope when the new team started and, for awhile, I was really supportive because I was enjoying the show as much as I had in the 90s (even though it was a different vibe). Started to really lose interest after AJ was killed but stayed with the show - and was hopeful when Michael started to get revengey on Sonny and the day Michael said "I think I'll call her AJ" was one of this shows finest moments. Even though the Fluke crap and the drugging Michael stuff, I stuck with the show... but the day that Michael gave AJ back to Sonny was the day that I was done. I watched a few days in mid July because I like Jonathan Jackson - and I'm glad that I did - the Lucky/Luke stuff was really dynamite. But then they ruined years worth of stories by retconning Jake back on to the canvas and I literally threw my hands up in the air saying "I can't take this anymore". I suppose that I'll try the show out when the new team's work starts airing but given the recent news that they are going to have even more Sonny and even more mob.... I doubt that I'll stay for long. And that's just damn depressing. I kind of wish the show would just get cancelled before what little is left of our beloved characters get wrecked even further.

I think today was RCs last script... can anyone confirm? I want to start watching the show again but decided not to jump back in until his so called writing is gone. I think I read somewhere that next week is simply 'fill in' writers before the new material starts playing after Labor Day.

fuck Valentini. I stopped watching this show for several YEARS (from about 2004 or 2005 only returning when Ron started... 2012?) and I stopped watching in June, returning watching for the few days that Lucky was on.. but I haven't wanted to make the effort to find it online since mid July (and Dear ABC, your idea to charge people $1.99 to watch this show on You Tube is LAUGHABLE). I think Frank Valentini should be the next one to leave the GH staff.

Oh because on this show being bi polar is a disease (which causes you to murder people) and being an alcoholic is a weakness (and if you're weak, you deserve to lose your son and your life). Haven't you been watching General Hospital for the past, oh 15 years? That shit went from Guza to Ron without missing so much as a quarter beat. It must be in needlepoint on a sampler framed in the writers room of this show. feh.
