Sunday Reflections 17: Hurricane Sandy Made for Spotty Soaps … General Hospital, Don’t Jump the Shark

http://marlenadelacroix.com/2012/11/636/

"A word to the GH writers, though: please don't jump the shark.  That's what All My Children did in its final months, when the creative team brought too many characters back from the dead in such a short time. It spoiled the "reality" of the show to see such characters as of Dixie, Zack and Stuart all come back to life practically at once through Dr. David Hayward's crazy back-to-life machinations.  On GH only two months ago, dead Duke reappeared and now we have alive A.J.  It's rumored there are more resurrections of old dead characters soon to come.   I love seeing these old characters, too, but please GH, not too many of them at once!  That makes it impossible to buy into the "reality" of the show.  Like back from the dead is "real" in the first place, no?"
