Phelps has recycled themes and, in some cases, storylines from show to show (Guiding Light, Another World, and One Life to Live all featured a story about a young woman going into the police force and falling for her tough instructor).
Phelps, with the help of head writer Margaret DePriest, encouraged the implementation of the story, which was a carbon copy of the Sin Stalker storyline which first aired on Another World in 1987.
Phelps took this as an indication that the audience as a whole would not care if the characters were killed off their respective shows.

 Top Ten Reasons to Hate JFP
JFP spent a million dollars on her personal vision of what she wanted the show to be like, not what the show needed.
JFP had this to offer as her rationale for the new sets: "When I first started watching the show about six months ago I had a hard time understanding who was related to whom and who was married to whom.
JFP eliminated multigenerational stories by firing all the actors over 55: Bridget (a beloved 11-year vet), Clara (shamelessly carted off to the old folks home), Spencer (even though he was an integral part of the Justine, then the Ryan/Grant story) and Eddie (thus reducing Joe to the role of heavy in the Nick/Sofia story).

Indications are that Jill Farren Phelps and Megan McTavish are close and in agreement in their vision of General Hospital.

I had warned Jill (Farren Phelps) — although I don't think she paid attention to me — that I was not happy.
