I started watching it this past summer and became hooked! During the writer's strike, it got a bit stale, but the head writer's stuff started airing again this week and the shows are GREAT (IMO)!
GH is a pretty good show. I was addicted to it back when Jonathan Jackson played Lucky. When JJ left, I stopped watching it daily, but watch it from time to time. I do know that many people were liking the possible relationship between Maxie and Spinelli and are upset that Maxie is going to be paired with Jason's character (some of these upset fand were die hard fans of JC & KS's Shelle).
I DVR OLTL everyday. My job allows to be at home over the summer, so I will be sure to check out GH daily when Jason starts. If I enjoy it, when I return to work in the fall, I will be DVRing GH too!
I am a little concerned. I adored JC & KS as Shelle and thought they had awesome chemistry. I'm not sure I will be able to enjoy them together playing other characters. I'll just have to watch and see.
