Lol now it’s 2022, and Ron is still among the better half of the current soap opera head writers (even though that ain’t really saying much lol 😂)

@@isaiahhill2104 true! He started off well on OLTL but then tanked. We need to get writers along the lines of Agnes Nixon, Bill Bell, Douglas Marland, Irma Phillips, etc.

@@isaiahhill2104 although my soap went off the air a while back (All My Children) so, even if they get solid writers, I don't know if I'd tune into any of them. But their fans deserve better.

@@cajayson8301 Agreed. Tbh that seems to be a trend with Ron. I feel the same way about his GH (though it’s okay if you disagree). I loved the energy and new direction him and Frank brought to the show, but at some point during 2013/2014, things got a bit too zany for me. Granted, the show truly did lose a lot of entertainment value when Ron left in 2015, but still. I also think that even though Ron started his stint on Days in 2017, 2021 was a very good year for that show (then again, that summer was when I started watching consistently). Honestly as for the writers, I couldn’t agree more. I’m especially tired of the networks recycling the same writers and producers. It’s why the soaps feel so dry and lifeless now. What we need is writers who understand how to write good character-driven stories (or at least stories where plot devices aren’t too central to the storylines) and producers who are willing to let their shows embrace the fact that they are soaps (Ken Corday on Days for example excels at that).

@@cajayson8301 I honestly need to check out AMC at some point. I don’t know if it’ll be my type of soap. However, I felt the same way about GH and now it’s my obsession lol (the mid-90s stuff up until about 2001 or around the end of McTavish’s run - though by that point, I think I started hate watching 😂). I’ve also seen some old clips of Y&R from the early 2000s(need to check out more for sure). Have seen some bits of OLTL as well. B&B was the first soap I got into, and I’ve seen the most content from that show from 1999-present (even though nowadays the show’s a bigger joke than Days is by a long shot IMO).
