SlovakPrincess July 25, 2015 Share July 25, 2015 Well, it's too late for my favorite characters, unfortunately. Not sure a new writing regime will care about them or a way to fix them. At this point, I sort of just want FH and KMc to get fantastic jobs elsewhere and for their characters to get some sort of fix / happy send-off. This is what Ron has done to me ... I have no optimism about the show getting better and I live in fear of even more desecration for characters I grew up with and liked. So many people thought he would save the show after Guza and Wolfe, and he eventually fucked it all up to hell. Grrrrrrr. (I may have ranted about this 1,000 times or so before, but as a Scorpio / Devane fan I feel personally victimized by this regime, LOL.) 8 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/4122-gh-in-the-news-the-pc-press-club/page/114/#findComment-1356715

Get your head outta Ron's ass, Jamey, the bullshit comes out from both ends. I took that differently but that is kind of ridiculous if that's what he's getting at. What amuses me is that they're apparently trying to circle the wagons around Ron and gunning for Frank, especially JG on Twitter right now. Ron may have a thin skin but (in public, at least) Frank Valentini does not give a fuck. I remember him coming out of 2005 or 2006 on OLTL, two of the most reviled years in the show's history, and straightfacedly telling Michael Logan or someone that he would not change anything onscreen in the previous year and why would anyone think so? Cold as ice. The other issue is, when Frank was hiring all these people, Jamey and co. were basically in "YAAAASSSSS BITTTTCCCHHHH YAAAASSSSS SLAAAAYYYYY YAAAASSSSS" mode every single time. For years! Michelle Stafford! Donna Mills! Now, suddenly, it's, 'oh, why did they hire all these awful stars?'

Which basically was him going above Frank's head and asking for changes in writing. Shortly after that, Jean Passante was brought on and was unofficially co-head writer. My time frame might be off because of baby brain. Intereesting. Thanks. It's just weird cause he's been tweeting about liking the stuff he's been filming this week.
