A fully functional soap knows how to stagger its story-building so something meaningful is happening on any given day. Right now, #GH is not a fully functional soap. My latest for Diagnosis Daytime bemoans this sorry state of affairs: diagnosisdaytime.blogspot.com/2026/08/crit...

I think I might have to give up on this show I’ve watched since its debut. I find myself watching for #Vanna scenes, Liz/Dante scenes, Tracy. Otherwise I’m finding it harder and harder to care about much else. I used to look forward to each episode. What remedial HS did these writers escape from?

The sudden Sonny and Drew beef is so dumb. The sudden escalated Ava and Sonny beef just so she can team up with Drew is dumber. Give me someone coming back from the dead any day. But this drummed up crap that makes no sense with what’s actually been happening on the show is trash.

The GH have no idea how to pace a story. There are more dangling story lines than an unraveling sweater. Contributing to this is too many stories taking place. Finish one or two, slip them onto a back burner and bump up others. It still bothers me a lot that Sonny never paid for murdering Cates.

Remember in the police shows when the cops would go to the DA hoping to have charges brought on little evidence and the DA would tell them, "Come back when you've got something"?That's my message to #GH. You, of course, made the most of what you had to work with.👏👏
