SOW Miss: GH's Bioxotin Story Made Us Sick

The release of deadly biotoxin on GH certainly was a disaster – and not in a good way.
GH undercut itself from the start by diluting any sense of jeopardy. Characters wailed about the danger of the poison gas and lamented that many, many people were trapped and panicking, but all fans saw were deserted corridors and the usual suspects. The story could have been improved dramatically by adding some innocents for Sam and Jason to rescue instead of chasing Trevor and Anthony – the usual mob stuff. And if Spinelli could weather the explosion of a room full of oxygen cylinders with mere smudges on his face, where as the drama?

Not that fans feared the Jackal would really be put down. As expected, GH shielded its stars and axed the villainous Trevor and Anthony. (No doubt more “bad” gangsters will spring up, hydra-like in their places.) It was unfortunate that Leyla had to be sacrificed, but hey, at least she got a couple of lines for a change. Her former GH: NS compatriot Dr. Andy Archer was not so lucky.

On the bright side, chief of staff Patrick got to act heroically in a medical context, Maxie teaming up with Johnny provided a welcome spark of illicitly hot sexual tension, and Lucky reunited with Elizabeth in warmhearted scenes. But there also too many gangsters and civilians sneaking in and out of quarantine to save victims while emergency personnel (real-life heroes, all!) cowered behind yellow tape. And let’s just dismiss Robin and Emma in the snow as a hallucination caused by that leaking nitrous oxide.

The fire conveniently burned off all the poison, but not before fans were nauseated by this toxic brew.

3/5
Robin keeps the attempted rape to herself out of guilt
Patrick digs for the secrets Robin is keeping, it could be dangerous for him

One woman is desperate enough to fake a pregnancy to save her life.
One woman is desperate enough to abandon her family to save her life.
One woman is desperate enough to accept help from her ex to save her life

Patrick's constant pushing does not help Robin, and may lead them down a dangerous path. Will they finally get things straight before its too late?

Friday, March 6:
Robin and Patrick have a huge fight.

Ratings aren't the biggest problem facing Prospect these days. More pressing than ratings, disgrunted fans (and no not just fangirls--from all fanbases) and disgruntled employees and staff are proving to be the bigger issue these days.
With the ax of 3 contract players (2 have already been told they are out and 1 already knows she's next), the addition of 1 newbie contract thanks to a special pull, and 3 contract actors dropped to recurring status (one actor let the cat out of the bag at his recent PA to his fans chagrin), Prospect is not a pretty place to be these days.
Fan reaction--not fangirl reaction--is being very closely monitored. Things are changing on the fly. Two of the best examples-- LL2 and Carjax.
Thanks but just so I can understand -what is the difference between fangirls and fans? How can Prospect tell the difference?
Go through the calls, letters and other items sent to the studio long enough and you become an expert at the fan vs. the fangirl.
What has the feedback been for the PPD story if you don't mind my asking?
Varied. Many more are siding with Robin than Patrick. But overall, fans are having a hard time accepting the PPD, hence no public announcement for PPD has followed an episode as of yet.

Think Markham Island adventure in late April. Same players execpt take out DQ and add in Ethan. It's going to be a hoot. This is coming from people above Guza. Lulu/Ethan get closer, Scrubs begin to rebuild.
