Ron Carlivati has been replaced with Jean Passanante and Shelly Altman. What are your thoughts?

I'm very happy about this! Thank god that hack is gone. The show and ratings were tanking badly under his writing. Something needed to happen and it did.

Jean and Shelly taking over? I'm a little leery considering their last stint as head writers for Y&R wasn't very good. Some stuff was good but it was mostly boring. I'll give them a chance to see if they can make GH better than what's currently on TV. I don't watch it right now. I stopped a few months ago.

Hopefully, they'll write character driven stories and use the vets. The hospital needs to be used more. It was sorely missed during Ron's run.

Less pets -- Nina, Franco, Silas, Kiki, Madeline. No kiddie love stories with Emma, Spencer, Cam, and Joss. Focus on the adults!

The show has been a snoozefest since the Nurse's Ball. I dont knoe what happened to RC, but he's dropped the ball. However, it isnt always greener on the other side. Let's not forget the magic RC worked to get the show to where it is.

I don't necessarily think he dropped the ball, I just think that he was burned out. He's been Headwriter for many years so I'm sure that was a factor. And at the same time, we don't know the kind of network influence that he had to deal with so I don't think it's all Ron's fault.

Personally I was hoping that Jean would be his co-head. When Jean and Shelly were at Y&R, the show was boring. They did give us some awesome couples but that's pretty much it. Again, this is a different show and both of them know the show and these characters a bit better. So I guess I'm hopeful.

And I agree with Erik. While everyone wants to slam Ron for things he did wrong, he also did a lot of good.

Ron was definitely a case of burnout. I mean you have to take in account of all the years that he ran two different shows. He was transitioned from OLTL to GH pretty quickly. So he had a good ten years as a head writer under his belt. That's a lot of time to equate to a burnout.

I think what needed to happen was getting him someone to ground him a bit. They did not need to get rid of him. I would have loved to see the team of Ron Carlivati and Lorianne Broderick.

The Issue i had with him is that he created good Storylines with a lot of Potential but failed to make them complex enough to be good or even failed to complete them and to make them successfull..

and nurses ball 2015 was so boring.. was like an remix of 2013-14... realy lame this year..

and all of those fan faves to return was good for a while but gets kind of boring.. i mean Frank Smiths Return was WASTED SH*T!

In some ways I am too but at the same time with RC gone don't you think that GH could end up going downhill
