This year of GH has brought the good, the bad, the ugly and the just plain boring.
Best Social Media for WUBS: Twitter! It's the best thing to hit Daytime in forever as well.
I was able to get to know fans, magazine writers and webmasters in a way I never have before.
It also led to me attending my first big GH Event this year!
Loved meeting Nancy Lee Grahn and schmoozing with other wubbies.
I love tweeting the show live to fans stuck at work. Wubs is up to 5,800 followers!
New Mascot. Alberta Wubs, lobster maskot for the site, got around this year.
Check out her FanPage on Facebook to see all the charity contributions Wubbers did!
What can I say about the state of GH in 2009? This year brought us Ethan and the short 'return' of Holly. We had great recasting of all the kids on set and really started getting into the younger ones' storylines.
Jax finally had his baby girl. JaSam got back together and L&L2 found their way as a re-re-couple (very nice for the JJ return).
The Toxic Ball storyline was laughable..and we did laugh, didn't we? Trevor met his end during that fiasco. We did get a kick ass new lobby out of the whole thing.
Ric left on the elevator..:eyeroll: and Dr. Matt got no love again this year.
Scrubs went through PPD (which we heard a million times) and Robin ended up putting baby Emma in a tree.
Michael woke up--and the fall of Claudia began. JoLivia sizzled and took a couple that was just supposed to have a fling into a whole 'nother atmosphere.
Speaking of chemistry, the writers ran with Spixie and gave us a fun "non-wedding" for a few days. Karaoke night became a regular feature at Jake's.
Coleman was on more. Diane and Max heated it up...and made us love them. There were plenty of stories that were dragged out forever, and quite a few missteps along the way.
Rebecca never took off--the more the mascara, the more it just didn't fly. The Carnival was a story that was good because most of the cast was involved and we finally got a remote shoot.
DOMte was a big addition not only because of the whole cop thing, but because Sonny has a son that's grown up and about to blow his world apart.
Hey, Audrey was back for A DAY...Bobbie popped up in 2 scenes and Leslie was around a bit too.
Kristina and Keifer--could have been dramatic but it was started and stopped far too many times. Infact, 2009 was the "spurt and sputter" year.
Cassadine story pushed back (although yeah we did see Helena for a bit) and back...and back.
This brings us to--THE FRANCO FACTOR. GH got a boost in the PR department from the "A-lister" but not much else.
I am giving best actor award to Steve Burton this year, which is a huge thing for me. I have seen Jason grow in leaps and bounds. Burton was finally allowed to do some other dialog this year other than the same old "Stonecold" antics. He and Michael, he and Sam...he leaving Liz were all touching. I also gave it to SB because he surprised me the most this year, and I like that!
