I have been quiet for awhile about the status of current GH, but this past week kind of ticked my rant button once again. Let’s start with the special Maurice Benard as Sonny Corinthos special edition of Soaps In Depth for 25 years. I applaud him for being on the show that long but there is one actress who has been on 41 of the 55 years of General Hospital, Leslie Charleson as Dr. Monica Quartermaine as of August 16th. No shoutout from cast members, show or execs on this milestone! No one would have known if it wasn’t for her personally announcing on twitter! My question is where was her special edition last year at her 40 year milestone, if there was one I do not remember it. To this viewer THAT is a milestone 40 YEARS, to me this is showing that the execs at GH are sexist & ageist and once again Frank Valentini has his pets. Leslie to me is a GH Legend & Diva she gave us some awesome scenes during her time as Monica Quartermaine. Thank you Leslie Charleson for 41 years of excellence & more to come!

Another thing that got me irked was the article that Frank Valentini did! I am getting so sick of this guy and his agenda. Also tired of all these soap blogs kissing his ass, applauding him for this crap they are calling GH. When will they grow a pair and call him on his crap, NEVER. Well this is one blogger who doesn’t sugar coat what she thinks! Here is what I think of a few comments he said in that article.

In my opinion the only reason for him to create this character was to give Laura’s boyfriend a job and to make long-time viewers pissed. If he wanted to give Anna a son than why not Griffin, didn’t they dangle that back in 2017, but nothing came of it! But wait that is what GH writers do, give us nibble and then throw it away. When is Frank going to realize that Henrik just isn’t clicking with the viewers? I know when, when it gets cancelled. Plus Uncle Frankie don’t keep throwing that little tidbit about him being Robin’s brother, Anna’s son if it hasn’t worked for you and your agenda for months, it never will! MOST viewers wished he would have died in that fire. Please start listening, most of us WANT him off the canvas!!!

All I can say here is I sympathize with both these fan bases. I know what you are going through, but hey my couple’s reuniting back in 89, the writers only made us suffer for only 4 months! That was misery, I don’t know how I could handle almost a year. At least Frisco, while he was after Domino, he was still trying to get his wife to remember what they once had and ACTUALLY saying he was going to fight to get his wife back. Unlike today the character is more worried about his friends than his wife & family. The writers are all over the place with this triangle, hell with the whole Jason story line it is just pathetic. Please just take the viewers out of their misery & FINISH this damn story line!!! It just seems Jason is more worried about what is going on with Carly & Sonny, then finding out what truly happened to him! Hell if they were TRUE friends, wouldn’t they want to find out! This story line NEEDS to end SOON!!!

This couple should have never been thought of period! I see no chemistry at all between these two characters! Hell I saw MORE chemistry between Anna & Frisco as friends then I do with Anna & lizard man as a couple. Anna had only one true love and in my opinion it was DUKE. They had so much more of their story to tell but TIIC had to ruin that by killing Duke off, bad bad call. But hey isn’t that Uncle Frankie’s MO to ruin all those wonderful 80s couples who made our screens sizzle with his half baked couples he created. He had a goldmine in his hands with Duke & Anna but let it get away because once again it wasn’t his asinine no spark couples.

After reading that article it just shows he isn’t listening to the viewers only to his bots who praises him everyday. Get your head out of your ass and start listening to the viewers! Oh wait, I am just wasting my breath there it is HIS GH & he runs it the way he wants. Welcome to OLTL 2.0 readers, it will never change until ABC Execs decides to take THEIR heads out of their asses & fire Uncle Frankie!

Or is the object to CANCEL General Hospital! Well many of us are thinking that today after Wednesday’s announcement of reruns on August 29-31 & then once again on Labor Day September 3rd. One viewer tweeted asking Nathan Varni “why is #GH airing encore episodes on Aug 29,30 and 31st? Can you please reply and reassure the fans? #worried #notagoodsign #outofsightoutofmind” Varni DID answer with

I call BS on this!!! I have watched the show for 30 plus years, few of those years where on location shoots, not ONCE did they show reruns, excuse me encores, because they needed extra days off based on the number of new episodes they produce. EXCUSE ME haven’t they always produced the same number of episodes each year for the last 55 years! I don’t know about you but something smells fishy over there at GH headquarters, because we all know how Natey likes to lie. I’m surprised his nose doesn’t reach to China by now. Like one tweet I saw earlier today by JR, Come Back @andrea9192 “I think the ratings are so consistently low that ABCd feels comfortable testing the waters now. A world w/o #GH Not sure many of us would be affected as our show died 6+ years ago when #FireFrank came aboard. ABCd brought him on for a reason, and a good product wasn’t it!” I truly believe this 100%. I mean look at the last soap opera Frank Valentini EPed IT was cancelled. ABC already has plans for the time slot I bet. We already know they are expanding GMA to another hour and has a deal with Tamron Hall for a talk show in 2019, will she be taking over General Hospital spot, we shall see.

Yesterday I saw a tweet “If you were announced as the EP of #GH what would be the first thing you’d want to do?” I thought this is going to be interesting but a lot had some get ideas to save the show here is a few.

Cut back the cast, hire someone for continuity, hire some fanfic writers to inject new ideas and create ways to incorporate the history of the show into present story lines. I’d also create an at least once a month reason for the ensemble cast to get together onscreen.

Then I’d deal with story line direction, what makes sense & what doesn’t. I’d cut the dead end stories and create ways for old favorites to be able to pop in and out of PC as needed. If it can be done w Spinelli, Ned & Robert, it can be done with others.

Nothing story wise can be fixed until the vehicle in the background that runs the show is fixed first. Cutting characters, hiring right people to make the show run smoothly & ppl who have fresh ideas to work with the writers. Research & understanding the Bible of GH is important

kellie fogg @kelliefogg

Bring back Frisco. pair him with Felicia. Frisco becomes Police Commissioner. RnH, DnA are together living in Port Charles. Robert helps Frisco when he needs it. Have love and romance with some adventures. Get rid of the dead wait characters.

Deglimuses @deglimuses

Change the whole writing staff. Laura, kevin, duke, anna, frisco, felicia, Robert and holly. Bring in a real police force & a young trio of wsb. Have villians be villians and leave when their story arc is over. Young doctors and nurses at the brownstone. love in the afternoon

My favorite one is from Michele @rhda8386. This lady has a whole year already mapped out! I vote her as the next Executive Producer at General Hospital.

I want to thank Deglimuses @deglimuses, kellie fogg @kelliefogg, Ro @SonnyandBrenda, Michele @rhda8386, JR, Come Back @andrea9192 for allowing me to use their tweets, thanks all! Keep those tweets coming!
