SOC
DD:HNY was back last night, mostly giving his opinion


"I said it many times years ago, RC was the big RH fan while FV adores ME.
ME's best focus group results came from playing a tough, silent-type, hard-nose cop. Why FV insisted on bringing him back as a doctor, twice over, boggles many minds. Frankly, I do not see Finn succeeding any better than Silas.
-----
I only know JP/SA reworked the Valerie/Dante/Lulu/Dillon/Maxie/Nathan dynamics, largely due to the network's mandate for increased diversity. Valerie was spared and elevated but the result was a miserable failure for all involved. That has been another story caught up by the backstage battles for creative control.
----
All the groundwork to bring on Paul's family was tossed out in favor of another stab at showcasing RBu's Hayden.

From what little I caught of Kevin and Laura, I like their easy-going dynamic.
----

I wish I had an answer for you [if WdV is out], but I honestly do not know.

Months ago, I warned there was a battle for creative control and he could have been caught up in that battle.

I can say I believe Julian's current story aligns with what RC originally planned.
----
From what I have seen and read, the current Julian characterization is a return to the original, more cold-blooded, ruthless, drug dealing persona RC introduced.

I do agree the story took a turn away from JP/SA's original plans to refocus around his media empire. The whole Crimson revival story was botched, really, with Maxie's role greatly reduced in favor of showcasing MS.
---
I was never a fan of Elizabeth/Ric, however, at least they had a real emotional connection to revisit.

Elizabeth/Franco feel as forced-fed as Carly/Franco, and as doomed to an ugly ending.
----
The original plan was for Julian to exit (again) via the Witness Protection Progam. RC had no real use long-term for the character, but he was over-ruled. WdV's job was saved but not by FV.

----
I am glad you are enjoying their scenes together.

Personally, I feel JP/SA are repeating RC's initial mistake with RH's Franco. And, like Carly before her, it will be the Elizabeth character left twisted into a pretzel.
------
I thought ME's return made rather clear FV won creative control.

Bless her heart, JE gave it her all, but the entire worms story failed to resonate. In my opinion, making ME another doctor was a mistake. It is not a natural fit for his skills. Put him back in a law enforcement role and for goodness sakes do not emasculate him.

I do not have access to taping schedules but as we discussed last summer, a spring Luke return been in the works since TG's departure.
-----
JP/SA's original pitch played off RC's setup by reigniting Maxie's career ambitions. Maxie was to draw much closer to Dillon which in turn created tensions with Nathan and Lulu. All that was dropped [because of FV, he claims] in favor of Maxie and Dillon becoming simpering dayplayers gushing over brilliant Nina.

Nina's one mildly positive story was crazytown with Franco. Outside of it, she has been a failed character.
-----
I cannot speak for why a portion of GH's female viewership accepts men abusing women more easily than men hurting their children. I can only tell you mothers recoiled from Carly/Franco and all the Franco saving Michael scenes in the world could not win them over.

I believe Elizabeth/Franco are also doomed by the audience's recoil from Franco anywhere near Jason's story.
------
Dillon/Lulu had years of history to draw upon while Dillon/Kiki feel very much like contrived angst for a hapless Morgan/Kiki pairing. I hope I am wrong for your sake but Dillon been badly misused since day one.

FV still pushing for an online GH show centered on the younger generation. That should tell you all you need to know.
-----
If you recall, JP/SA's Maxie/Julian/Crimson pitch was one of their few I actually liked, and I now regret encouraging Maxie fans to hang tight for her revitalization. KSt appears listless in her scenes and I cannot really blame her.
-----
Early last summer, I previewed RC's original sextet plans which led to the return of the Lulu/Stavros embryo plotline. JP/SA's pitch initially only reworked parts of RC's plans. They revitalized Maxie career and saved Valerie from a violent breakdown.

In both storyboards, after a long journey, Dante/Lulu were eventually going to overcome all obstacles.

BS/Valerie took the biggest hit. I heard VA felt vindicated.
----
I found original premise of the Nikolas/Hayden romance rather offensive. However, understand this was a case of writers deliberating trying to "be edgey and controversial" and "push viewers' buttons."

When their story garnered so little reaction, from either side, I know FV, and writers were left somewhat flummoxed. So were RBu and TC."
----

I don't know what HNY quite means by VA feeling vindicated, unless she warned the writers that it was going to be a shiit story

lol at not emasculating ME. His doofy hair and nose do that work for the writers.
