The current one is too dark and depressing as well as too fast. Siren was the best opening and enjoyed hearing it everyday. Also, focus needs to be on Genie Francis. Laura is great and can be much more other than Lukes ex wife.

Yet RC was writing children as adults and the adults as children or teens and that reversal just doesn't work on a soap. Also, I can understand why people might get upset if children have more airtime than many adult characters do.

Seeing the kids is part of the family dynamics even if we just see them for a few minutes. Haven't seen Emma or Josh since the fire. Haley is a horrible actress...I have tried very hard to like her..but I just can't. Y n R let her go b/c the fans disliked her acting. And if KM can't get back as Robin..recast her. Many loose s/ls there to tie up. GH is a shadow of what it used to be...ratings at the lowest low ever.

The GH management said she'd be staying around after Luke's departure and she did--for one whole whopping week! I've read elsewhere that she'll be back onscreen in October, but does anyone have any additional info?

I think I'm the only one got used to or enjoyed Greg Vaugn's portrayl of Lucky Spenser. Don't get me wrong love, love, love Jonathan Jackson . But it's a drama and if an actor is moving on to another job then I say by golly the best to them and give another actor a shot at the role.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13243351218022260730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-24201191793826806592015-08-14T16:59:58.217-04:002015-08-14T16:59:58.217-04:00If he thinks Kiki is working in either incarnation...If he thinks Kiki is working in either incarnation he's wrong.

Roger, I...Thanks Kevin for sharing the highlights!<br /><br />Roger, I never minded the kids either. I enjoy the lighter stuff. They appeal to me much more than CarSon's impending wedding of doom. I suspect this issue folks had with them was less about not liking them and more about them getting consistent air time while others disappeared for months. "Why is this 10-year-old on everyday when I haven't seen my fav in weeks!"<br /><br />I too hope the humor stays with GH and that we get deeper more character driven story telling without going too dark all the time. GH is best when it has heart & hope.SaveOurSudshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831387055618027166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585163331194032530.post-62785886215702303622015-08-14T16:30:47.349-04:002015-08-14T16:30:47.349-04:00Please get rid of Haley Erin....she is awful and n...Please get rid of Haley Erin....she is awful and nothing like the character of Kiki.....everyone is different and you can find someone to support almost any position there is!

I just saw it as comedy and it was very entertaining for me. I certainly enjoyed it more than either version of Kiki.<br /><br />The thing I appreciated most about Ron Carlivati's GH was the humor. I'd love to see a streamlined GH with some deeper rooted stories but I'd like some of that humor to remain. <br /><br />It will be interesting to see how GH changes with Shelly and Jean at the helm.Roger Newcombhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17605713149480918249noreply@blogger.com
