Pro Con Con Pro

When I was in college I was in a sorority, when ever addressing something we were told we need to do the 'Pro Con Con Pro' method.  This meant bring up a good point with a bad and end on a good note.  This is actually a very good life lesson for any situation.  I use it all the time in my professional world and even with my parenting style. 
Pro:
One of the things I have always loved about GH is it wasn't your classic soap.  It had semi-realistic story lines, it veered away from the supernatural like people being posed by the devil  (DOOL) or vampires (that was PC not GH).  GH veered away from the split personalities and other cliche story lines that have given soaps a less then favorable name in TV history.
Con:
However, now that we have a new writing regime, all bets are off and we often tune into our beloved show trying to find traces of what the show used to be. Let's see since this new arrival of the HW we have:
- a split personality
- a dead Robin (who isn't really dead but she'll be hanging out in that bed probably for the next 14 months at least)
- we are stuck with "Maxie" and no chance of Kirsten Storms return
- a complete invasion of OLTL characters taking over the canvas
- a new show format and opening unrecognizable from what it used to be
- lets not forget - a vampire walking around saying he is a cop but give it time folks and McBain is going to be sprouting fangs and flying around at night checking out the catacombs 
- a promise to shake things up between our favorite couple which is turning out to meaning rehashing stupid storylines and not doing anything we enjoy much
-a pregnancy that is only going to last 5 months instead of 9
-Sonny is on trail AGAIN

Con:
Sometimes when I watch I feel like GH is turning into a show we can't even recognize let along watch and entire episode of.  I really don't enjoy many of the current story lines and struggle with the logic in a lot of it.  I keep trying to hold on to what we love so much and has entertained us for years.  GH has been through many writers and many changes over the years and we have watched ever faithful and hopeful for the future.  So why change now?  Why stop watching and hoping? What is stopping us?

Pro:
I know what you are thinking, GH is turning into OLTL 2.0 and the HW is determined to fuse the two shows.  I also was never a fan of OLTL because I could not get into the story lines.  They drug on for years and got boring and dry and I would turn it off laughing at how hokey some of the story lines were.  Some days I wonder if RC is determined to get GH canceled but why would anyone want to kill the last remaining soap on ABC?  Why would anyone want to be known as the killer of not 1 but 2 shows.  It would be extremely hard for him to find work knowing he is the guy that can get a show canceled in no time flat.  So maybe he is not trying to get GH cancelled after all.  Maybe he is trying to save it and has been told he needs to shake things up and see if it pulls in new viewers.  Maybe he has good intentions and we should tune in and support our show.  He is doing somethings good.  Things are moving faster with him as HW then in the past.  I loved GW but he did have an issue with timing.  Things moved slowly and days went on for weeks with GW.  Story lines are eventful right now.  He did bring back some classic characters like Anna, Holly, Heather, Robert and Drake Senior and have plans for others to make return visits.  Even if it was brief they came back it was wonderful to see them. Maybe this is what it will take to keep GH on the air. 

So here is my advice, keep watching and find out what happens next.  I know many of us are on boards, have facebook accounts and twitter and sometimes want to vent our frustrations.  I encourage you do to so especially if it helps you feel better about the show.  But remember what you write and say is out there is for everyone to see so I encourage you to make sure you say something positive about GH as much as you say something negative.  Use the pro con con pro method - just try it. You can get your frustrations out without playing into the haters hands out there. 

Now to talk about GH lately. Why is everyone listening to crazy people around Port Charles lately? Also why is everyone a bit crazy these days on GH?

Kate/Connie get crazier by the minute.  Connie has a purpose but does Kate?  I mean I think I like Connie better then Kate.  Connie is a hoot and she's apparently the person to have around when you need to shoot someone.  Maybe Sonny should hire Connie as his next enforcer instead of Jason.  Jason needs to get out of the business and Connie sure is a clear shot with a hand gun but not the best at disposing of the weapon. She'll need to work on that to be a mob enforcer but I see this in her future.

Let's take Heather Webber for instance now.  Heather is certifiable - literally yet we are going to take what she has to say as the truth about Jason and Franco being twins??  Even if they are twins, the fact that Sam's baby could be Franco's is still not possible.  The DNA test showed the baby shares genetic marks with Jason.  Jason and Franco were fraternal twins so they don't share the same DNA the way identical twins do.  Not to mention Heather is CRAZY in every sense of the word.  She is locked up for life in a mental institute of course she is going to screw with people just for pure entertainment value alone.  Here is my theory either Heather is Franco's mother (would explain the whole crazy thing).  OR Franco knew raping Sam would send Jason over the edge.  He knew Jason would kill him for this.  So Franco found out where Jason was born.  He took that page of the birth record.  He then went to Heather Moore offering her money or something she wanted she gave him the footage of that baby he then told her the story to tell Sam or Jason when they came looking.  He knew by then it would be dead. He even made it easy for Jason to find him to kill him because by then he had his affairs in order and had the whole game set to play out.  He also knew Sam was pregnant and he is the one who planted the seed he could be the father. Eventually it will come out that Franco wasn't Jason's twin.  Heather will tell the true story eventually once she gets what she wants.
Sam is far to sharp and logical to fall for this once she sees the reality of this.  Sam is the strongest character on GH and the smartest, she needs to be written true to character.  Sam's true character will see this is some crazy old bitty trying to screw with everyone who has been paid off by Franco.  Sam is a PI for God's sake she is trained to look at things logically.  She needs to take her emotion out of the picture here and look at the facts.  Also Jason needs to stop yelling at his pregnant wife and realize this poor woman has been through absolute hell in the past 5 months.  She is going to be clingy a bit because no sooner did she get raped then found out she was pregnant possibly with the devil's baby then Jason nearly dies.  Then Robin does die trying to save Jason.  YES she is going to be a bit delicate right now.  Not to mention she is pregnant and the last time she lost her baby so she is naturally going to need additional support.  It is about time Jason starts giving it to her and stop worrying about Sonny.  Let the sucker fry I say.  Sonny didn't do this crime but he has done enough in the past to make up for this.  I want Jason and Sam to be focused on the baby.  We have waited 8 years for this, I want to see the doctor visits, Jason listening to the baby's heart beat, watching the ultra sound.  I want him to FUSS over Sam like never before.  I WANT THAT JASON!
