They say that they are going to cut costs to make GH profitable but all they’re doing is increasing costs by increasing the cast of GH (which is already big as it is).

Holly Manning has a good sound to it.

I’m excited but nervous … we’ve been burned twice in the last decades by a regime who crapped all over Holly’s character!

Love it!! Can’t wait to see Emma and Tristan back on screen together again.

I hope to convince ethan to stay.and forget about that girl at the cassidine castle.boring ,and olivia ,I hope she kicks that girls ass that is annoying steve and her .there thats two more people to get rid of in port charles.And where is luke ?before you know it ,it will be vacation time for him.I am looking forward to emma samms in port charles.

GH cannot but improve with the return of these veterans and the additions from OLTL. Its ratings should improve to at least that of OLTL. Ratings for the week of December 26-30, 2011 (Compared to Last Week/Compared to Last Year):
Total Viewers
1. Y&R 5,085,000 (+158,000/-201,000)
2. B&B 3,416,000 (+64,000/+138,000)
3. OLTL 2,897,000 (+279,000/+52,000)
4. DAYS 2,711,000 (+330,000/-124,000)
5. GH 2,427,000 (+99,000/-670,000)

I love Tristan and Finola and cant wait to see them on screen again. This is the best news for GH and I am so happy for them.

Does this bother anyone else that we are bringing back oldies which don’t get me wrong I enjoy, but this looks like a sinking ship. Maybe I am wrong. I liked Emma Samms but only with Robert.

I’m more excited to hear she will be coming back than I am about all the OLTL characters coming aboard (there’s even a rumor that 2 more will be announced soon). Instead of all the OLTL actors I would have rather seen the return of Jaxs, Nikolas, Lucky, and Robin staying put. Are the new writers really so lazy they have to import characters they know instead of writing for the wonderful actors that are already on GH?

I love Emma Samms. If they can find room to bring all these people back, ALONG with OLTL players, and couldn’t fnd room to bring back Laura, I am sure it must be a cool slap in the face to Genie Frances….

To answer one question is they have sit down with Kimberly to convince her to stay and she still does not want to this is why I am concerned this is their swan song I think ABC has given up on soaps I hope I am wrong. Katie Couric Not!!!!

I’m excited about seeing Emma return to GH. I’m crossing my fingers that this time the writers actually fix the crap from 06/09, especially since this looks to me like the beginning of the end. I don’t give a rats behind how it’s done, let it be that Helena & Luke brainwashed Holly into thinking she messed around with Luke & to think that Ethan is his. Hell they can even be in cahoots with her crazy cousin Basil for all I care just as long as it’s corrected. Then Robert/Holly/Ethan can all leave together heading for Australia and a happy ending. I won’t hold my breath though. GH has been a huge disappointment for years and seriously I cannot see that changing.

Not interested in the OLTL characters. They had their show and their ending. THis is GH and they shouldn’t come to GH.
I like that FH and TR are coming but sad it is for Robin’s exit. I just hope RC and FV leave the door open for a Scrubs happy ending with Emma. I rather Robin, Patrick and Emma leave together.

Michael, It’s Anna Devane. Not Anna Scorpio. She hasn’t been married to Robert for a couple decades now. Let’s get our GH history right. I’m excited to hear that Emma will reprise her role as Holly. She’s always been a fave since day one when Luke saw her skinnydipping in the woods. Hoping for great scenes with Ethan and Robert.

this is sounding like awesome news, i’m very happy that the new regime is playing their cards the right way, I’m hoping this will be the norm and instead of a quick gimmick. I’m staying positive. Hooray!

Woohoo Finola and Tristan back on screen together again! Can’t wait to see Anna and Robert together again, maybe they could finally run the mob out of town.
Best thing FV & RC did was bring these two back.

Bring all the stars from amc and oltl to General hospital and make it a 2 hr show. We would love it.

How awesome that Anna and Robert will be in a storyline with their daughter! The Scorpios back together again!

OMG! I’m in heaven. I loved Holly and Robert! Now if only they would retcon Ethan and make him Robert’s son, not Luke’s, I’d be one happy camper.

Todd and Blair
Robert and Holly

Now we just need Genie Francis back and it’s a trifecta….

it looks like valentini & carlivati are going to be breathing new life into gh – i am very please with this news………..

I’m so excited that Emma is coming back to GH. I loved Robert and Holly together. I hope Tristan and Emma get some good scenes. And I would love for it to be revealed that Ethan is a Scorpio!

I am so excited about this because at last the horrible regime is gone and GH has great new people in charge. I have every faith that Holly will finally be in character for the first time since 1993 ! I cannot wait to see Emma Samms and Tristan Rogers light up the screen again ! Robert and Holly are GH’s best love story of all time. I really hope Ron fixes the mess that is Ethan and makes him the Scorpio he always should’ve been !

I am NOT happy about the OLTL cast entering GH. This will be the beginning of the end for them…very unfortunate.
