Ha-ha! They killed someone last year but now they're finally happy after they got over the hurdles of law enforcement trying to separate them by trying to convict them for the unjustifiable murder and cover up they committed.

Morgan's shaved head hasn't been mentioned by anyone onscreen, has it? So LOL about that, BryDog. It's summer and hot as hell—if I could get away with shaving my head, I would.

The one with nothing but Kiki, Ava, Kiki, Franco, Ric, Madeline, and Kiki. I mean, the previous low before this 17-week period started was something like 496,000.

It's just all rushed and out of nowhere* or happening to people most of the viewers don't care about. Anna killed Carlos. Dante cheated. Silas died. Sonny and Carly are getting married. Luke left permanently. But half of the way those things happened were contrived beyond belief, and absolutely no one in town cares Silas died and there's only one suspect who has any kind of significant tie to the show (Morgan), and he's become such a wretched character it's hard to care. Lots of things are happening to Kiki - dad died, boyfriend and mom cheating on her, mom is hiding from her, and next week most of it is gonna come to light - except I don't give a damn about Kiki's feelings, and don't care about her reaction about any of this, and I'm willing to bet most of the audience feels the same. *Except for the Jason stuff.

Francie August 21, 2015 Share August 21, 2015 (edited) I hear you, but it all seems so been there/done that, that it really does feel like nothing's happening. Luke left again, but he's been doing that for years. And ABC network execs and Tony have already talked about him coming back. Sonny and Carly are getting married for the fifth time? That doesn't feel like anything's happening. Anna shot and killed Carlos, but we've seen so many people come back from the dead, it doesn't feel like we can be sure it even happened. Plus Anna left town right after, so it's out of sight out of mind. At least when we, the viewers, were led to believe that Anna shot and killed Faison it meant something. Killing Carlos, as gloriously OTT he could be, was another ho hum event. This show is now like South Park the moment when Kenny is killed. We've seen it. And we know we'll see it again next time. This show truly needs to throw out the current storyline scripts. Cancel the September hiatus and get every GH-related character (you sit your ass down, though, Franco) back to work.* Want to regain fan loyalty? And our willingness to believe in a fictional world called Port Charles? Make us care and start believing that things matter? Start with a serial killing of the Ron Carlivati created characters starts NOW, and they all. freakin'. stay. dead. Edited to add *I know how crazy that sounds. But I keep hearing from the cast -- the cast! -- that Frank is so like Gloria Monty. Well, guess what, faced with this situation, there's no doubt in my mind that Gloria would be throwing out every script and re-writing every scene and story on the fly.

General Days August 21, 2015 Share August 21, 2015 I'm not at all encouraged by the reports of the Corinthos family "once again" being front and center. Are Sonny and Carly supposed to be the new Edward and Lila or something? Good god, meet the new crap, same as the old crap. Ugh. The only Corinthos I'd have any interest in seeing front and center would be Dante. Well, I basically agree with you about Dante. That said, I think the Morgan-has-BPD storyline has legs. I think Laura and Maurice can bring it (when Mo remembers his lines). I hate the mob story, but I mostly hate the mob story when Sonny is untouchable. I will never understand why, once Ron wrote Michael as winning custody of baby AJ, he didn't also write Sonny as divesting himself of his mob businesses, so he could get his baby back (and maybe prove himself to Michael). It was the perfect opportunity to free us of this crap. I agree with this. Essentially, I thought it was a mistake not to put Jason and Sam in each other's orbits. They are the story, in my eyes, love or hate them. Jason "died" loving Sam, being married to her, and wanting their family. You can't just pretend that's not there. And it didn't help that Patrick and Sam (to me) have snoozeworthy chem. That could have been a good story and then Jason pops up.* *And Robin shouldn't have been a part of this at ALL. She should have gotten an off-screen happy ending and that's that. I think Patrick and Sam's chemistry is fine, but once they resolved the Patrick-Is-A-Amateur-P.I. storyline, the didn't give them anything else to do except shag and talk about Jake Frigging Doe. Yeah, and they could have done this whole scenario with Liz without her knowing he's Jason. She could still dread that random Jake Doe would be taken away from her by remembering a new family. I think this Liz/Jake-son story would have been so much better if Liz didn't find out Jake = Jason until after he'd proposed and she accepted. I think her actions would be far more understandable. This junk we're getting is just character defamation. I would make Liz lose custody of her kids, for a while at least. This Jake shit proves she shouldn't be raising a Chia Pet right now. She'd have to work to better herself and get them back. And Teen Cameron (Joey Luthman) would happily waltz out the door. There is also no way she can keep her job. Oh, I would never make Liz lose custody of her kids. I don't even see how this makes sense as a payoff. So far but Jake Doe is Jason Morgan as much as Jason Morgan was Jason Q. Which is to say, not at all. Knowing he was Jason Q didn't automatically turn back into a Q. Why should knowing he's Jason turn him back into Jason? He is Jake and he loves Liz. He'll understand that she loved him too much to let him go. Haha, I know I will be blasted for this opinion but so what? No blasting, here. I love Liz (but I also love Sam and don't give a damn about either ship). I do hope that Billy Miller's Jason is some combination of Quartermaine and Morgan. It did? Shit! Fuck! Shit! &*(#$&*(&$#*($& $*($&*(#$&*(@#$&*(&$!!! Want to know why? Because 1984 was the year before Anna showed up in Port Charles. Fuck! Shit! Fuck!!!! I don't understand. Please explain this to me, like I'm Morgan. from SZ: This is from CD's script that was shown on his periscope. Morgan must be in the hospital. "I'll call her as soon as we get an update- I'm hoping I can tell her you're going to make a full recovery. Mom is right outside. She wants to see you but she made me come in,first. (MICHAEL'S EMOTION RAMPS. ANGER AT WHOEVER DID THIS...) uh-oh, is Brydog in a recast coma? Okay probably not but it would be funny. Or it could be Sonny he's talking to. ew. I'm thinking MF might know some spoilers. He did the same thing to DZ back in a January interview, he was all, "maybe Dante will get a girl from his past soon!" Subtle, Fairman. Subtle. I think this might be TJ. Back in Gloria Monty's day, they taped only about 2 weeks ahead of time. They'd tape an entire's show script, barring location shoots, on a single day. Gloria was able to track trends in near real time. If the ratings went up, they'd keep featuring who they were featuring, if they went down, she'd make adjustments. The current block taping schedule where they are constantly having dark weeks, even multiple dark weeks, is killing them. I think they were dark two weeks in July and they are dark again for multiple weeks around labor day. They get so far ahead in taping that they can't make adjustments in time. This type of schedule has hurt Days, too. Days is now several months ahead in taping. So, if the viewers aren't reacting well to a storyline, there's nothing TPTB can do about it. It's still going to run its course for months. That's not to say that FV doesn't dig his heels in about things that obviously don't work. He's still trying to make Franco happen. They only get about a month or so ahead, so they could have adjusted the Jason storyline months ago. Frank and Ron have been too stubborn and they haven't shown the ability to be able to accurately critically assess their work product. But the taping schedule for daytime has changed quite a bit since the 80s and 90s. I also don't think that just revealing Jake as Jason is a panacea to anything. If there's one thing this show does worse than the reveals, it's the fall out. What fall out? There never is any! Every few weeks we're "treated" with an event that changes Port Charles forever -- except it never does. No matter what happens, no matter who dies, who is tortured, or who comes back from the dead, everyone just shrugs their shoulders while Franco cracks wise and Nina repeats her lines. I'm glad you mentioned DAYS, because they're far worse than TFGH in this department. They tape 5 to 6 months in advance of air date and it is killing the show. Okay, there's an article in one of the magazines where MB is talking about if Sonny and Laura hooked up the only woman Sonny has had that is like Laura is Lily, and he and Genie work well together and it could be an interesting pairing. Good Lord! They wouldn't actually try that, would they?? I threw up in my mouth a little, and then a lot, and then couldn't stop. Never mind. I'm dead of vomiting. UGH! "Morgan's surprised by what he learns" - "Over, under, around, and through..." No more velcro for him! LMAO. 2 Link to comment

I just think Liz has gone far beyond the pale as a character and needs to suffer real consequences for her choices. In real life, anyone who was a party to some of the things she's done would have her whole life overturned. This isn't her first rodeo, and I think it's clear her psyche has gone so askew that I don't think Liz had any business raising a houseplant right now. 6 Link to comment

They're all off in their own bubbles. Every time Carly talks about her brother Lucas, I have to stop and think how that is. What's the point of making everyone related if you're not going to take advantage of those connections? Gah. 8 Link to comment
