Not really thrilled with Ron's stories overall, I do have to give him props for trying to please the fans by bringing back so many veterans that wouldn't have ever been seen again under Guza and Phelps. HOWEVER, he needs a solid co-writer to reign him in. He's a hot mess. He can return people all he wants but problems still exist, though the show in 100x more enjoyable. Still a ways to go but I do give a ton of credit for his efforts. He might be a mess, but I believe he cares, even though I feel like I should be drinking half the time with his work. The man needs balance though. We go weeks seeing the same story until it's dropped in favor of another. He did the same thing on OLTL.

This is an honest question I'm asking, so don't think I'm being smart. But what exactly do you not like about Carlivati's work? There are several posters that knock his writing down, but never really give any real examples of why his work "sucks." I think he's the only current soap writer that still gets the genre, and it shows in his writing, especially compared to the other four shows and how their head writers write.
