As a loyal viewer of General Hospital, I have enjoyed the show and characters. In the past year 2 years, there has been a noticeable downturn on the show. The writing has become predictable, all of the characters on the show have not been utlized properly, and new characters added to the show have added little or no noticeable improvement. I am asking GH staff to take a hard look at where this show is going and make the improvements necesary in the writing and charaters to return GH to the level of quality it had maintained in past years.
