Big Help!

Moving into a new house is quite a bit of work.  Thankfully, the most adorable painter in the world was hired to help.

Met Ramin again!  He recognized me immediately, and we had a nice conversation.  He seemed genuinely touched when I gave him a copy of the picture of us from last time.  Even put it in his dressing room!  So awesome!  Couldn't have asked for a better birthday gift!  Will never forget it!

Well, kids, unfortunately this ends the visual tour of my latest New York trip.  Was supposed to go back in September, but it didn't work out.  Definitely planning on going multiple times next year, though, and will have plenty of pictures and stories to share!

Ins And Outs!

Michael Easton, and his character, Dr. Silas Clay, are leaving.  Apparently, this decision was made before the writing shakeup.  Rumors have a murder mystery at the center of Silas' exit.  If done well, I could definitely enjoy this.  As for my thoughts, I never really saw the point of Silas.  When the Prospect Park drama happened, everything should have been scrapped.  No tears from me.

Ending on a much happier note, Lexi Ainsworth is returning as Kristina!  I adore her, and am so pumped.  She's one of the major reasons I started watching.  Such a great thing for the young adult cast.  So excited!  Kristina will be home sometime in late August, or early September.

BIG SHAKEUP!

Head writer Ron Carlivati has been fired from his position, and will be replaced by the duo of Jean Passanante, and Shelley Altman.  With the ratings in freefall these last twelve weeks, I'm not surprised by this move in the least.  The storytelling has been abysmal for the last three months, and people are showing their discontent by tuning out in record numbers.  Countless returns from the dead, undeveloped characters, stories dropped without explanation or resolve.  Just a few issues plaguing GH of late.  If I started citing specifics, we'd be here all day.  There's no easy way to say this, but Ron is burnt out, and this is the right move.

That aside, he must be recognized for his stellar work when he first took over.  This show was on the brink of cancellation.  Not only was there a complete turnaround, but ratings were the highest they'd been in almost a decade.  Beloved characters were brought back, and woven seamlessly into storylines.  Veteran actors and actresses from other soaps were brought onboard.  While these additions weren't always successful, I applaud the effort.  Here's the question.  Do the positives of this regime outweigh the potential negatives of bringing in a new one?  It's too soon to tell, but for my money, the answer is no.  All we can do is cross our digits, and pray for the best.

Sara and I shortly after arriving at the hotel.  Was so awesome to have a friend there to experience everything with.  So much fun!  Hopefully, next time, she can stay overnight.
