I am normally the most optimistic person when it comes to change in writers for soaps. I have stuck with Y&R through Griffith, Arena Bell, Griffith, Passanante/Altman, and now Chuck Pratt... but I don't know if I can say the same about GH. I loved GH under Ron. His writing kept my attention the most of anyone in daytime on any show I had barely seen before. I liked GH under Bob Guza, but I loved it under Ron. To say that I'm a tad bit scared for the show under Passante/Altman, It would be an understatement. The Passanante/Altman era for Y&R was utterly dreadful to watch. It was the most boring that I can say Y&R ever was (which says a lot) I am really scared to see what they do to GH. If their Y&R was any indication, they'll make Garin Wolf's GH seem exciting. |

Guza hat a lot of good character developement but Guza and his crew destroyed so many good characters and familys like The Q's, Laura and Felicia..I prefer Guza ofer Ron ANY DAY Because Ron is good in building Up Story but fails to deliever at the end.. I think it can't get any worse for GH anymore with new Writters to be honest |

For me I do not hold out much hope either for GH even with SA and JP as head writers because if Y & R was any indication then I think GH is seriously in danger of being cancelled and it is unfortunate but at least with RC he had good enough stories like the development was good but the execution and the delivery ultimately is why RC got canned but mostly it was because of his own ego but hell even at this point Days of our Lives is starting to become more exciting than GH especially with all the favorites that they have coming back for their 50th anniversary but also the change in writers too |

I'm VERY nervous. RC laid very careful ground work for stories to climax months later. Look at the Nina/Ric story. This has been slow steam for MONTHS and is now reaching its fever pitch. There could be lots of missed opportunities here that I'm scared will get dropped. Everyone bitches about the size of the cast, but OLTL was the same way and I always thought right when you'd be like "I havent seen Nikolas in a while." The next episode he'd be back. I think the cast is WAY too bigger for another writer to handle. Which is perhaps why the cast is being cut but they've lost AGebard but have gained LA/RB so they're right back where they started. |

Passante/Altman did a good job with romance at Y&R so there's that but overall the show was pretty boring when they were at the helm. Maybe with their extensive history with GH, it will be different? |

I'm going to give them a chance and see what they do. Jean and Shelly did romance well on Y&R which GH has been lacking a lot of lately so, they have that going for them. In the story dept, Their Y&R was dreadfully boring. I'm hoping they can learn from that and make GH entertaining again. The first order of business should be wrap up the Jason story ASAP. RC plan was to drag out the Jason reveal for 1 1/2 years to 2 years MAX. Can you imagine that? 2 more year of this garbage? Ugh. It needs to wrapped like yesterday! |

Okay I've been a long time viewer of General Hospital and I don't count anything written by RC as GH history. I love the character Jason Morgan and Steve Burton is the only Jason Morgan I know. Jason Morgan isn't recast able. I don't like how RC took all my favorite characters and changed them so I don't reconzine them anymore. I have no respect or care able any othe new characters. I pretty much gave up watching GH when Steve left because I didn't like the direction. General Hospital doesn't have any passion drama action anything. |
