Ok, I’m fed up with Guza wrecking all the couples. Bring back the scabs that gave us JoLu and let Liason have their moments at the cabin. And if you don’t know why I’m ranting about, see my previous post or the spoilers for this week on Soap Central. Other soaps booted their head writers and kept the scabs, GH should have done the same. Why does he or Farren Phelps think it keeps viewers watching to deny them what they want instead of just giving it to them (so they want to watch every day)? All the denial does is make me want to stop watching again and I only came back (after all the poor couples and Liason’s nixing in 2000) in October for Johnny and Lulu.
Sonny /Brenda, and Robin/Jason lasted for over a year each as intact couples before they were broken up and then (in the B/S) case gotten back together after another successful pairing of Brenda/Jax. What a waste of months of build up to JoLu to end them like that before they get a chance to really be a couple. They are basically turning them into a ONS because of “danger” (I’m assuming mob related, but it could also be Johnny’s dark side is coming back and he scares Lulu, I hope it’s a mob thing I like him too much to see him become his dad). Why make all the men so dangerous the women can’t have them? Soaps are built on couples, that’s what draws female viewers in, not to see a PG version of the Sopranos.
In the past I’d say this was just a stumbling block (stupid to do right after months of saddling her to Logan for no good reason) and keep faith, but GH has had a bad track record for years of ignoring chemistry and keeping people apart with silly reasons. I hope I’m wrong and Lulu gets pulled into the mob thing and in saving her, she and Johnny decide to go for it, but the fact that GH has no couples right now except a back-burnered Carly/Jax and the lame Ric/Marianna doesn’t bode well.
Here’s my plan, we need to bombard GH with demands for JoLu and JoLu right now. Maybe writing to ABC direct and letting them know how to boost sagging ratings instead of just writing to the idiots at GH would help too. Below is a link to a site that lets you print off free sheet music and addresses for ABC and GH. I’m going to start sending them a piece of sheet music with calls for JoLu to stay together and the scabs (or the Labines who created Sonny and Brenda) to return. If enough of us do this they have to listen….Don’t they?

Spread the word! And if this works maybe we can send them wrenches as a sign to get rid of Logan.
