Everyone looks great, but the writing on GH is awful.
Michael/Willow are boring. Always have been, always will be. She lost her personality, when they became a couple. Dante/Sam are equally boring, and I LOVE Dante (I used to love Sam, too). Carly's making her way through the Quartermaine brothers (A.J. Jason, now Drew). I don't even understand Carly/Drew, as much as I love Cameron Mathison. Joss is mini Carly, and completely insufferable.
Sonny/Nina are enjoyable. There's not enough Ned/Olivia. Maxie has no storyline, so she's become boring too, which I thought was impossible. Michael Easton and Roger Howarth's talents are being wasted. Sasha was finally interesting with Brando, and they killed him off. As if that wasn't bad enough, she lost her baby too. Now, she's stuck in a guardianship, where she can't do anything about Gladys losing all her money. Michael trying to be a tough guy by using Dex to take down Sonny is laughable. Mikey boy is not a tough guy. lol
Chase/Brook Lynn are trapped in this Kesha/Dr. Luke and Taylor Swift/Scooter Braun inspired storyline. And since they're barely on, it's going to be dragged out forever. These two have serious chemistry, if the writers would just write for them. Get Brook Lynn and Blaze away from Linc, take him down, give Chase his badge back and reunite him with Brook Lynn. It's such a stupid storyline, yet they are still more interesting than Michael/Willow.

Genie Francis should be front and center, not Snarly, and the entire rest of the group should be behind her. As in, the next studio.

Technically, Jon Lindstrom is center; when the photo is cut directly in-half, he's the only one in both images.

OMG! For my sanity and because I can't afford to throw my TV out the window, I had to stop watching GH! I have watched it for 55 years through the stupid OJ trial, cutting classes to get home in time, but now? I don't care how great an actor is, unless you have a fabulous storyline for them, why sign them to be wasted? The only way to get GH back on track is go old school. Cut all the frivolous characters and stay with the characters that brought GH accolades! GET NEW WRITERS!! Preferably people who KNOW ALL ABOUT GH! Keep core families, keep Tracy on as long as you can.[So miss Stuart Damon] Put Sonny and Carly back together, send the excess young crew to another city or college. There are way too many "who cares" stories. I miss my GH just as much as AMC and OLTL.
Please fix it!!

Can someone please do something about Liz??? If she's not the most pathetic character on that show. Who's writing this mess?
None of the couples are interesting.
They bore me to tears.
They need to mix things up or add some new blood.
Thanks for letting me vent

Honestly I love GH I have been through stupid story lines in the 80’s with the alien. People dying and coming back. It picks up in the summer. The only thing I am still upset about is that I wish the would have Jason on here and that him and Carly stayed married. But the show is always my favorite since 1972. I love good bad and whatever comes next
