Joe Shelby "Josh" Griffith is an American soap opera writer and producer. I have watched this show since the early 70s!! But lately the story lines are so dumb due to poor directions, poor props, hair style changes recently especially Lilly's & Nikki's whose hair was looking great for both. Plus when hair dresser changes the blondes to platinum is horrible! The story with Sally & Nick I hate! Better with Adam. I had hoped they would be back together once she was pregnant. Hate the way Sally treats him because she was in love with him & was impressed with him too but now she acts like he is below her & Nick!! Now you end pregnancy and let baby die? Why? The scene at ER was laughable!! Poor props and too fake. If someone was in such stress she would have had oxygenon, BP monitor on, in a specialized unit on OB, IV fluids & never saw a her OB doctor. No fetal monitoring either! Just Sally in bed with nothing!! Then all of sudden goes to surgery supposedly due to worsening bp but there was no monitoring at all so how figure she was worse?? Too dumb to watch. Plus the thing with kidnapping by a criminal showed no federal agency,poor protection from Victor like he has all the answers. No one had protection but Sharon. Was no monitoring of Sharon's phone or cops taking letters,etc sent to Sharon. Just poor directing!! Plus rarely show the Abbots in the office or Newmans except Victoria. Adam at new job either all make story better. All just sitting at home or bars drinking with suits on. Plus yell and discussing personal problems in restaurants instead of home like normal people. Please stop making Adam a bad guy for a change.Getting old. How about letting fans remember Victor & Victoria cause him to react the way he has because they keep jerking jobs away from him when Victor says he is doing well. Victor, Victoria, Nikki, Nick,Billy,Phyllis, Kyle,Summer who all judge him but they all have done bad things too. Let him have a job actually for a change. Hope Phyllis comes back.
