So I am new to GH, and I am loving it since I don't have the old days to compare it to.

But I know a lot of people are upset with it right now.

What is it about the show that needs changing aside from new blood and out with the old blood? In other words, what big changes would you make?

The main reason I will never watch GH regularly is because mobsters are the heroes. It's as simple as that. Oh yeah and that they RUN the show. STUPID

#1 TOO MUCH MOB. This is General HOSPITAL, NOT General MOB. I would fire Exec. Prod. Jill Farren Phelps and Head Writer Bob Guza. These 2 should've been fired at least 2 years ago!! I make this show more like it was in the '80's when GH was at its peak imho. I would drop a lot of the mob from the show. I'd keep Sonny out of the mob. I'd also have Jason leave the mob after having Jason shot in the head, and ending up Jason Quartermaine again. I'd let Maurice Benard(Sonny) leave (there are rumors that he is considering it), I'd also fire Megan Ward(Kate, with Sonny & Kate killed off or getting married and leave PC together). I'd also kill off Anthony Zacharra(Bruce Weitz), Trevor(Stephen Macht), and drop Claire Coffee(Nadine), Sebastian Roché(Jerry), & Bradford Anderson(Spinelli, ok I might keep him on recurring as comic relief, but that's it, this idiot should NOT be front and center). I'd put Jackie Zeman(Bobbie) & Kin Shriner(Scott) back on contract, along with Stuart Damon(Alan), I'd bring Alan, Emily & Georgie back from the dead, all held captive by Jerry and/or Helena. I think Jerry is irredeemable and should be killed off period, even though I do like Roché (hey wait a minute, what if he's not really Jerry, but Mr. Craig afterall and Jerry is being held captive with Alan, Em & Georgie?

I'd bring back Robert Scorpio full time, as well as bringing in Elizabeth's family--father Jeff, brother Stephen, sister Sarah & mother (whom I'd let be Anne Logan, with Susan Pratt back in the role). Plus I'd bring back Rachel Ames(Audrey), Constance Towers(Helena) & most especially Genie Francis(Laura, who'd be permanently cured.

Johnny & Claudia would also be out of the mob. I'd write Claudia as more likeable.

More hospital focused storylines. I'd also bring back Felicia, with the wonderful Kristina Wagner on contract. I'd bring back Frisco as well, either stealing Jack Wagner from B&B or re-casting with a name actor. Jake would turn out to really be Lucky & Liz's son, not Jason's, results faked by Maxie, who would come clean about it.

I would bring on Karen Wexler (not dead since GH ignores PC anyhow, imho), Serena, Lee & Gail Baldwin as well. The return of Jagger(Antonio Sabato, Jr.) on NS is a step in the right decision. IMHO NS is what GH should be (also PC in its first 2 years is what GH should be as well). I might also bring back Lucy & Kevin.

#1 Fan of Daytime Psychos!

IMO, usually nothing. Sometimes little things bother me...like when they end scenes and episodes with Jason or Sonny just because of who they are instead of ending them with more supporting characters who have big things happen. (Example: When Coop was hung by the text message killer, the episode didn't end with that).

But I enjoy the show. I love Guza and definately don't think he should be fired. The production of the show is great too, IMO. It's easy to get into, easy to enjoy...the mob stuff interests me. Don't change a thing, GH!

What's I'd fix

1.As many have said tone down all the mob mess. It's on way too much you'd forget the show is about a hospital. So I'd take Jason out of the mob you can keep sonny in it for all I care. They are slowly ruining the character. If he were to stay in the mob limit the drama.

2. Too much Carly and her men. Have her in one direction. I'd prefer with Jax . I'm tired of her in Kate and Elizabeth's face about Sonny and Jason. Stay in your lane.

3. bring back some legacy characters and stop killing them off. Im not a fan of bringing characters back from the dead but bring back Georgie, Emily, Alan, and AJ. The Q's need to be on more. Bring back Lucy and Kevin the rest of the Webbers.

4. Stop having scrubs fight over the littlest things. They nag too much and they are ending the cuteness really quick.

5. More romance less gloom and doom. Romance for Liason, Spinmax, Nikodine, and Jlex.

6. Show a more likable side to claudia and ric.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

I only watch GH every once in a while since being really into it during last November's sweeps, but I find it hard to get drawn into the stories now just because I find so many of the characters Guza is in love with to be completely unlikable.

I don't really care about it being so mob-focused as I don't really like medical dramas and I don't care if they rely on anti-heroes rather than the standard good guys.

But can someone tell me why I am supposed to care about Carly and her relationships and her children... at all? Can someone tell me why Jax or anyone else is in love with her or has ever been in love with her or is even friends with her? She's just a bitch. A psycho, controlling bitch. I don't know if it's just Laura Wright I don't dig but I can't ever remember a scene with Carly I watched where she was nice or loving or fun and so I don't really understand why she doesn't get slapped more. More Carly slappings would go a long way with me.

Further, did the character of Jason Morgan used to have a personality? I get that he has no memory and his day job is an assassin, but does he have emote like an automaton? And for being this badass mob guy why is Sonny Corinthos such a huge pussy who needs Kate to reassure his self-esteem every five seconds? Ugh.

I also get annoyed how all they can ever seem to do for Maxie is have her cockblock Lulu. Maxie's awesome and deserves something better.

Scrubs bore me to tears.

I hate the people Guza choose to kill off every sweeps period.

Finally, the characters I like best aren't on enough. In my case: Luke (yeah I know he's on vacation but whatever), Tracy, Scotty, Nikolas, LuSam.
