Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I was reading comments from the Daytime confidential and Michael Fairmont site on Ian's leaving and so many people feel that Anna/Duke didn't have any sexual chemistry and it wasn't just coming from the old times thread. So many posters didn't see the chemistry there either.
We're still waiting for the identity of Nathan's father, that got dropped too. Nobody cares anymore.

Nothing this regime has done -- not Fluke, Jakeson, Nathan/Maxie, Julexis, Carson, Michael Q, Spencer the brat, Ava's cancer, Franco/Nina -- not one thing has worked to the point of jumpstarting GH and engaging viewers in any consistent or significant way. Eventually it all stalls and goes to hell in a handbasket. So after a while you have to start wondering what's the common thread and it's not the actors, it's the writing.
Bingo. The common thread is the writing.

But ABC doesn't care. As long as they're below budget and staying above a 2.0. Quality doesn't matter.
The writing has been crappy to the overall show IMHO since 2012 and yet folks were praising Ron and Frank for saving the show. The writing is the same as it was in 2012 to me..However, The writing is always more crappy when it's your favorite that's getting it.

I just find all this RC/FV bashing hypercritical because if Duke/Anna were working together as a team and still getting the same pathetic, crappy writing then some of y'all would be tweeting Ron/Frank non stop saying how great it is.

Well, we finally have confirmation on why we aren't getting Luke/Laura--------Tony Geary doesn't want to do it anymore. That's what Genie told her fans at her event.

http://members4.boardhost.com/LukeSpencer/msg/1427770435.html

So does that mean GH doesn't want her unless it's for Luke and Laura? But Laura was around before Luke, it's not like she needs Luke. Maybe they're waiting for him to retire before asking her back.
Well thats just wrong on so many levels..we have to wait for king TG to leave before we could get laura back, she was on before his complaining ass set foot at the studio and was popular on her own and with Scotty before Luke ever entered the picture, this just makes me sick and hope that MOFU retires and GF comes back and gets a whole new story with a new love and ..Shines!!!!

I agree, everything is fine as long as the fav couple is together. Lets face it, if Duke was this way but Anna was by his side and ordering hits along with him, the writing for Duke would be the best ever, according to his fans. Treatment really equates to "keep my favorite couple together" no matter what. Everyone knows Duke has been barely write for since he has been back, but as long as he and Anna were together, RC was awesome.

The writing and production value has been horrible since this regime came on. Sloppy editing, disjointed stories, dropped stories, pacing that is the worst I have ever seen and this constant stunt casting. Guza was terrible, but this regime is a whole new level of suck. Look who is the focus once again, mob, Jason, Sonny and Carly. Add in the other pets Franco and Nina and you have the worst the show has ever been.

Once again, we have a regime that cares more about the actors' wants that the fans' wants. That's what it comes down to. And in the end, the fans lose.

I believe we'd have LnL now if Tony wanted it. Tony is running things over there. People don't want to believe how much power he has. As long as Tony is against LnL? We can forget it.
What's so puzzling IMO is Luke is not even popular anymore and from what i've seen want him gone and think the character is a worthless POS, yet TPTB still look at TG like he's so special and luke spencer is still the man, no that was 30 years ago not now!!

It doesn't matter that the majority of the fans hate this storyline. What matters is that Tony is happy. That is what is inherently wrong with this show. Actors' wants above fans' wants.

Then they need a refresher course on TG.'s Bill Eckert how did that work out for them? The character tanked and they needed GF back to save his bacon.

I've never thought the writing was any good and there's lots of us who have said so. For the record, I'm not even a D&A fan. With regard to the returning vets, I've always been in the camp of give it to me good or don't give it to me at all.
