I am a long time GH fan and I used to watch OLTL as my warm-up for GH. I cannot and will never understand why Bo and Nora are not on the front burner and together. The show is a mere shadow of its former self much like GH. I am so sick of the Todd and Blaire show much like I am sick of the Sonny and Jason show. I am not trying to be crazy but, where are my steamy romance scenes? Nothing beats Bo and Nora on OLTL and nothing beats any scene on GH with Robert Scorpio. I'd kill to see him live through another earthquake. Why do we have to beg to see good over evil? Frons blows... my 5 year old niece could write a better storyline. I have started to question whether Soap Opera's are following the teenage trend in society that gangs, drugs, and major violence is cool. Is Frons merely reflecting that? Does this make him a mere adolescent? When I watch GH and OLTL I feel like I'm watching an episode of 90210. Except, the episode was written poorly. Listen, I am all for 90210 but it was a teen show I watched in college and played drinking games with. I knew what I was watching when I did it and I took it for what it was worth. GH and OLTL are supposed to be "Love in the Afternoon" shows about adults...maturely written. Where the hell are all the adults? Where the hell is all the maturity? Seriously... can someone just throw us vet lovers a bone? Can I just get good beating evil? Maybe all of this would solve Daytime TV's problems. I couldn’t agree with you more either.

OLTL, was once my favorite soap, even beating out Genearl Hospital! But for the past 4 years, I've tuned in, maybe once or twice a week, sometimes none. This show has become way too dark, the violence is ridiculous. I remember when we had Paul Crammer murder mystery, while around the same time we had the crazy Music Box Killer. Now here we go again with the violence with having two dark stories going on at once with the racist group and the Spenser murder STILL going on. It's insane at how dark this show is. Every character and couple is tortured on this show. Higley had a way of dragging her couples through the mud so much, you get to the point that you simply do not care. At one point, I did want Blaire and Todd together, but those two have been tortured so much, I don't care for them. Evangeline and Todd were defintly a supercouple in the making, but it took Higley SO long to even attempt to put them together, that it Renee Goldsberry's contract was almost up and now she's gone. If these two hadn't taken so long to get together, perhaps it wouldn't have come to that. Jessica and Nash are great - two years ago with Tess. But these two have been dragging on for the past two years, she married Antionio and when she finally decides that Nash is the one she truely loves, out of nowhere, she gets cancer. Huh? Why can't one couple be happy on this show? Have these character build up other storylines and such. But its the same thing, over and over again...I'm sick of it.
