Ok, so GH kind of sucks right now. And by sucks I mean it's horrendous to watch. Now, I can appreciate parts of it, but really. So, here's my plan to fix the show.
- First, get rid of the mob. Not entirely, but it's SO FOCUSED on the mob. For 2 years now, they have tried to avoid a mob war. Fine. But why not actually have it. Kill off the Zaccharas (ok, Anthony and Johnny...I actually like Claudia) and the Karpovs. Keep Sonny, but have him reformed through the death of Jason. Alternatively, have Jason get his memory of being a Quartermaine come back and redeem Sonny this way. The mob has always been a part of Port Charles because well, it's a port. Easy trafficking. I have no problem with the mob, but it needs to end. Plus, a mob war is the perfect summer story. Start it in June, end it in September. The fallout would be great.
- Next, bring back the Quartermaines. This ain't hard. Have Jason get his memory back. Bring Emily back by saying that she wasn't really dead (neither was Georgie). See, Alcazar found out what happened to his son (because Lorenzo is still alive) and Skye begged him to intervene. So he used his HUGE fortune and vast resources to save Georgie and Emily. Hey, if Days could bring back Jack 3 times including once after donating his organs, then Georgie and Emily can come back. Put Tracy and Edward in a war over ELQ. Have Monica thrown in for good measure (as Alan's widow). It works.
- The hospital should be front and center. So, bring back the Nurses' Ball. Give Bobbie a freakin' storyline. Have a medical outbreak (the meningitis outbreak a few years ago was BRILLIANT). Maybe instead of having everyone running around trying to find out about the counterfeit drugs, use it as away to bring Sam and Lucky to the altar. Seriously, they have HUGE chemistry and it's being wasted. Because they still kind of want Liz and Lucky to be together. Also, Sam deserves a huge splashy wedding. And I think Luke would love the idea of Lucky marrying a scam artist very much like Luke
- Spinelli needs to go. He's occasionally good for a few laughs, but mostly, no. He's annoying. His nicknames suck and on top of that, he's lasted way beyond his original purpose which was to bring down Alcazar. So get rid of him already. Have him killed off during the mob war.
- Get Patrick and Robin married already. Then have him cheat with Layla. She's a wonderful actress and she could use a front-burner story.
- BRING BACK LAURA. Look, you already have her waking up this week to help Lulu. Keep her around. Redeem Scott by having him explain everything to Laura and apologize. Then, she forgives him, he leaves town and she gets to stay in PC. She can find out about Tracy and Luke. That's a good month of story right there. Then have her become the matriarch she should have been.
So there's my plan. I think it would take 2 years to do it right, 1 if it were rushed. Oh, and get Carly to shut the fuck up. PLEASE.
