It’s getting better…there is hope!
I used to watch in the 80’s but life got busy and I stopped watching. I decided to tune in again 6 years ago and it’s been terrible overall, nothing like the old days. But I stuck with it because I have less to do now and I feel invested in these characters.
The JG era has been awful and it has deservedly been much criticized.
I watch in 2 month increments and I’m right now I’m in the May and June months (almost done with June). I have to say that I am really enjoying it.
Here are some storylines I am enjoying.
Matt Clark’s redemption
Victor and Nikki’s relationship issues and Nikki having to face the reality of Victor’s dark side.
Malcom coming back to the show and his medical storyline as well as Holden being Malcolm’s son
Party Williams coming to town (love Stacey as the actress as she is so good in every scene).
Devon and Abby’s relationship issues and Devon facing his personal demons
I also feel the dialogue is more real than at any other point in the last 6 years.
JG has been terrible and had to go. But things seem to have got better and I’m optimistic for a much better future with the new writer.
What are some of your bright spots in the JG era?
