Insert Hallelujah Chorus Here

 

So, remember when Bob Guza used to be the head writer of General Hospital? 

 

{Insert long pause for cart-wheels and joyous squealing}

 

GOODNESS,  have I waited a long time to say those beautiful and melodic words, they are like a choir of angels singing.

 

So, remember when Bob Guza used to be the head writer of General Hospital and I was desperate for something positive to say so I created a dialogue of the day section to applaud particularly witty sections of the script and then ended up primarily using that section as a dumping ground for the stupidist thing Carly or Sonny said this week?

 

Well, those days are over.  No longer will I use "dialogue of the day" sarcastically, there is a new sheriff in town.  Exhibit A:

 

 

I realize that Robin and Carly have had similar arguments in the past, and Robin has even made similar (valid) points before.  However, something in the tone of Guza's writing always led me to believe that the viewers was supposed to think Robin was being unreasonable and bitchy rather than . . . well, accurate.

 

Maybe it was Patrick siding with Jax and telling Carly so?  Whatever it was, I read the tone of this particular scene much differently than those in the past and I was pleased with what I heard.  It was a good Friday in Port Charles.

 

And in conclusion, I love you Garin Wolf.

I hate to see the mean chatter, if one day Garin Wolf fails to make people happier.
I know anything is better than fans have had in the last ten years.
I am holding my breath.
So far, a slight change is happening, as he predicted.

I was on vacation so didn't even watch GH until I returned home, but I could tell immediately that Garin was writing. I'm so loving the fact that people are finally able to tell Carly what they think of her, and that someone is finally sticking up for Jax, namely Patrick.

GH is actually watchable. The plots are consistent and finally we don't have Saint Carly anymore. Thank you Garin. Now if we can have Sonny and Jason finally get a little bit of what's coming to them instead of them being the sainted mob men. Then this show will have finally turned the corner. A bit of angst for the mob kingpins would be refreshing. People finally calling them out for their bad behavior and them having to pay a bit for their bad deeds.

And bring back Nik Cassadine and the rest of the Quartermaines. Bring back Bobbie, Leslie, Allan. Even if it is only as recurring. Then we will have our GH back.

Bring back Helena with Nik and show some Cassadine craziness. But all in all not a bad first few weeks. Thanks Garin.

Bring back Stefan too! Oh wait, didn't he get killed? But this is a soap, so bring him back, please!
