There is a lot I would change, but the biggest is realistic storylines that just sounded logical

I agree that the storylines need to be more spread out...like on AMC it's really been all Kendall/Ryan (Greenlee/Zach/Aidan/Annie) for years. Pretty much everything major centers around them, which is fine to a point but everything else seems like a side story which I think is bad.

I think they need to speed up some of the storylines. The writers seem to drag most of them out to the point where people just don't care anymore. The gaslighting Ashley story WAS interesting, then they threw in a miscarriage and dragged it beyond logical plausability. Now I just don't care what happens. The same with the Sharon/Nick/Phyllis/Jack storyline.

A new headwriter. One who cares about history even if it is what he just wrote LOL (Yes I am talking about AMC)

I would like the writers to pay more attention to a soap's history. It's frustrating when the viewers on a board know more about the soap's history than the writers do! It makes some storylines a bit hard to believe. For example, Victor Newman has fathered at least two children since having a vasectomy. I swear that if the fans hadn't been giggling among themselves, the writers would have never had Katherine "mention" that Victor had told her that he'd had it reversed. Cannot imagine how THAT conversation took place.

Oh ... where to start ... On General Hospital I would like to see less of Sonny, I liked his character up until he started having kids with all of Port Charles. On One Life to Live I would eliminate Gigi and Stacey both sisters are boring and I do not think Rex needs either. On All My Children I would like to see Zach and Ryan back to being friends one another. On Days of Our Lives I just look forward to the Alamains return they are all good actors and will improve the show. On Bold and the Beautiful I would get rid of some of the Forresters ... arent their connections to one another on the border of incest? On the Young and the Restless I would let Victoria and JT have some happiness.

Hmmm....I think its more of how the actors act out certain parts. For instance, Amber on Y/R...the constant tears and babyish persona when she's in trouble..sort of over the top..at the same time irritating. Overall, just not good. When actors can play out certain scenes better, but they just sort of fizzle. Another example for me is when Y/R brought back Thom Bierdz, did they not realize his acting hasn't changed much in over 20 years...sort of that deer in headlights look...just non emotional....really bland portrayal of his character. So I guess for me, it would be about getting the right actors to play the parts better. If your going to bring a character back after 20 years, make sure he's damn good....

I'm really unhappy that Guiding Light is going to end just when it is getting really good. Please make all happy endings for everyone when it does. What is going to take it's time slot? I would have much rather bold & beautiful ended. I haven't watched that for a year since the couples go back & forth so much it's like incest.

I would have Larry Wolek recur again on OLTL. One little change that would make all the difference.

On GL I want Phillip to get better from his "condition" and reunite with Beth, those two are meant for each other imo. I wouldn't mind seeing less of Marina & Mallet.

A new head writer and ex producer on Y/R...They need to give their audience, their actors and their charaters more respect not to mention Bill Bells dream. What a sorry state of affairs...They are writing this show into its grave IMO.

I also think the writers should consider the history of the characters. I resent how they continue to ruin a character's personality and seem to favor a specific character, never having them pay for the numerous dirty deeds they have done. For example, Victor never has to pay the price for the numerous terrible things he's done to people. Phyllis is another example of a character who has a history of hurting other people and never paying the price. The one time she was sent to prison, she was in & out in a hot second! So unbelievable and unrealistic! Also, the paternity issue of Summer. Why has that never been re-visited?
There are past characters who the viewers would love to have back. What are they doing to try and get them to return, like Dru, for instance? I'm at the point I don't care anymore. Whatever!!

I would love for AMC to FIRE CHARLES PRATT he can write worth a dang .

Where do I begin?

AMC: Erica's unabortion, murder of Stuart Chandler, GH: the constant rewriting of history, dropping storylines with no explanation, killing core characters (Alan, Emily, Logan), playing around with characters and stories that please Guza not the fans, turning a show about a Hospital into mob central, SORAS OLTL: Constant rehashing of storyline through the same dialogue over and over and over again to the point I scream at the TV, "We know!", no Viki, no Viki and Dorian, David Vickers revolving door, dragggging storyline beyond their due date, ignoring OLTL rich history, MIA characters, i.e. Larry Wolek, Miles Laurence, too many returns from the dead, i.e. Mitch Laurence ad nauseum, Stacy/Gigi/Rex storyline monopolizing the show, Destiny, Natalie, Jared, Moe, Noelle.

Wouldn't it great if each show had the equivalent of the reincarnation of late-great Douglas Marland?? I apply for the job!

This goes for the characters in his orbit as well: (Jason, Carly, Claudia, Johnny, etc.) I love MB. I really do. But Sonny has swallowed the show. Some argue that it's called General Hospital and to show more medical storylines, but it's not that. Of course it's not that. Fans want the legacy characters and core families that aren't recasted or killed off. We want Brenda, Laura, Lucy, Anna, JJ's Lucky, KW's Felicia, Holly, AT's Emily, Ned, Alan, RS' Lois, Sean, Tiffany, Robert, Frisco, IB's Duke, Kevin, and AJ.

Sure, the mob storylines have given us Zander Smith, Faith Roscoe, Ric Lansing, Lorenzo Alcazar, but after a while, the novelty fades, and when it really comes down to it, we want the money players with staying power.

I would like the characters to be written like themselves. Not OOC like Pratt is doing. S/L way to drug out.

And someone needs to bring Dixie back for Tad & Kate. We were promised this story and not got it.

I watch Y&R, OLTL & GH.

I would love it if they would incorporate the 13-week arc storylines. I feel that the current s/l are so drawn out that by the time the reveal occurs nobody cares or we have tuned out.

GH: Bring Laura (Genie Francis) back!

AMC: Bring Dixie (Cady McClain back -- I don't care how you explain it!

To fix my favorite show they should NOT cancel Guiding Light.
Simple and to the point. It has a 72 year run and we, the fans would like to see another 30 years. Such a proud and wonderful show. Please put Josh & Reva back together, and all the other characters that were broken up, before the light goes out. Love GL & will miss it, Always.

I will be greedy and want two changes:

1) Kill off Victor Newman for good.

2) Give Phillip a boyfriend.
