GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Dante, “I Don’t Want a Son Like You,” While Michael Tells Brook Lynn to Bide Her Time Till Chase and Willow Have an Affair
On the Thursday, October 1 episode of General Hospital, both Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) and Michael Corinthos (Rory Gibson) had some things to say and what they had to say didn’t go over well with whom they were talking to!
Sonny had a confrontation with his son, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), while Michael leveled with Brook Lynn (Amanda Setton) over Chase (Josh Swickard).
GH is setting up a scenario where everyone is going to make it look like Sonny was responsible for having Sidwell (Carlo Rota) beat up in Pentonville; while viewers already know Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison) were behind it.

A VISIT WITH DAD
Now, Dante comes to Sonny’s house. He wants to know straight up from his dad if he ordered the attack at Pentonville. Sonny flatly denies any culpability or responsibility, but Dante refuses to believe him.
Dante informs Sonny he has video footage of Sully and Vito at the prison. Sonny explains to Dante he doesn’t know why Sully beat up both Curtis and Dante. Things escalated when Sonny was deeply hurt that Dante refused to believe him. Dante says he was disappointed that his father didn’t respect him enough to be truthful with him!
Sonny asks Dante to consider that he was being set up. He says all he did was to tell Vito to instruct Sully to keep a watchful eye on Sidwell, not to harm him. No matter what Sonny said, Dante continued hammering him with how he knew deep down, even though he said he left the mob, he had to finish off Sidwell for himself.
Next, Sonny explains everything he has ever done was to provide for and to protect his family. Dante fired back that he doesn’t want to deal anymore with Sonny’s half-baked truths. As the two men argue, Gio (Giovanni Mazza) shows up at Sonny’s front door and overhears Sonny losing his temper and shouting at Dante, āGet out of my house! I donāt want a son like you!āĀ The scenes featured an excellent performance by Maurice Benard.

MICHAEL THE MANIPULATOR
While this is going down, outside the Quartermaine boathouse, Brook Lynn opens up to Michael about living at the Q’s with Chase being there, since he only came back due to legal advice from his lawyer, Monet Mitchell (Blythe Howard).
Brook Lynn questioned whether they should get legally separate. Michael insisted that would be a big mistake. When she asks why, Michael tells Brook Lynn to bide her time until Chase and Willow (Katelyn MacMullen) have an affair; then sheād have full custody of Phoebe.
An angered Brook Lynn pushed Michael into the water and accuses him of moving Willow back into the gatehouse with intent on putting Chase and Willow in closer proximity and sacrificing Brook Lynn’s family in the process.Ā As the two cousins bicker, Chase shows up asking Brook Lynn if she is OK. Michael punctuates their talk with “You know, I’m right.”
CURTIS FIGURES OUT A WAY TO GET OUT OF THE SLAMMER
At GH, Willow visits Curtis (Donnell Turner) in his hospital room. Curtis wants Willow to get him pardoned and keep him out of jail, and in return, he will help her nail Sonny.
Next, Willow tells Dr. Tristan Roberts (Dean Geyer) she wants Curtis held for observation for three more days. He agrees to do so under one condition, that she understands that he may need to call in a favor from a congresswoman.
So, what did you think of how Dante accused his father and refused to believe Sonny’s answers? Is this the end of their father and son relationship for good? Is Michael the most manipulative person of all, except for Willow? Do the two deserve each other? Do you want Chase and Willow to have an affair? And what of Curtis? Does he have many redeeming qualities left? Share your thoughts via the comment section,Ā but first check out the talk Michael had with Brook Lynn.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Ava and Drew Revealed to be Behind Framing Sonny for Sidwell’s Prison Beatdown
If you thought that the person responsible for the Pentonville brawl that saw Sidwell (Carlo Rota) and Curtis (Donnell Turner) taken to General Hospital was Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) or even Sidwell himself, you were dead wrong! On the Wednesday, September 30 episode of GH, it turned out that the culprits were actually Ava (Maura West) and Drew (Cameron Mathison).
In story, Drew apparently bankrolled the attack on Sidwell and framing Sonny. He told Ava their planned worked (she came up with it!) but was horrified when Drew informed her that Curtis got caught in the crosshairs. Ava is visibly upset because of her longtime friendship with Curtis’ daughter, Trina Robinson (Tabyana Ali). Drew tried to make Ava see the bright side. Curtis was witness to it and his presence will cast doubt on Sonny’s claims to that he had gotten out of the mob and gone legit.
Later, Vito shows up at Drew’s. They informed him that his guy on the inside of the slammer made a big mistake by hurting their friend and ordered him to leave town.

BOATHOUSE BRAWL
In other major developments, Danny (Asher Antonyzyn) and Rocco (Finn Carr) have a blow out fight as Danny blames his “brother” for the reason Charlotte was sent off to boarding school.
Rocco told off Danny for Charlotte’s (Bluesy Burke) reckless behavior and he explains he had to protect his sister. He went in on Danny saying that his mother Lulu (Alexa Havins) has been right to send Charlotte to boarding school and far away from Danny.
However, Rocco went a bit too far when he shouted, āAnd if your mom was alive, she would send you away too!ā Next, Danny punched out Rocco, leading to a terrible brawl. An angered Danny yells at Rocco to, āStay away from me and everyone in my family. And donāt you ever mention my mom again!ā Danny storms off.
Courtesy/ABC
Now alone outside the boathouse, Rocco flashes back to his first kiss with Scout (Kayden Brenna Tokarksi), hoping that his fight with Danny will not escalate and ruin their budding romance. Meanwhile, a bloodied-mouth Danny heads over to Sonny’s and Jason (Steve Burton) is there at the same time. He then admits that he has a bad fight with Rocco and they are both beaten up.
WILL SCOUT WISE UP?
At the end of the episode, Scout, who had a fight with Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) over Drew, and who keeps telling everyone how good a man her dad truly is, comes upon a suspicious scene.
Scout hides behind the wall outside Drew’s. She sees her dad, Ava and Vito talking. Next, Scout seems to overhear Vito assuring Drew and Ava that their business dealings are done, and he’ll be leaving Port Charles for good.
So, what did you think of the reveal that Ava and Drew were behind framing Sonny for the prison beatdown of Sidwell (and Curtis)? Do you think Danny and Rocco’s relationship can be repaired, or do you think the teenagers will continue to be at each other’s throats? Finally, do you hope Scout gets a clue and stops thinking her dad walks on air? Weigh-in via the comment section, but first check out how Ava and Drew conspired below.

WOW! Tell us more! I can sure think of several people on GH they can get rid of to make room for the OLTL people.
agree.
YES! Like the Lady in white? Who cares? So bored and over that same ol “mystery woman” storyline. Blah! Bring on Starr and Blair! I’s so excited about this!
I agree. There are quite a few people in port charles that need to go. Sorry Gh I love u but its time for new blod to save our soap
I agree too! They can start with Dante & Lulu, Elizabeth, Mystery woman “Cassandra”, and that Ugly ass duo – Kate, and Maggie!!
Keep Spinelli, Carly, Sonny, Jason & Sam, Shawn, and Anthony Zaccara!
Oh, and let’s get Jessica/Tess over to GH as well, to spice things up!
yes sandy, jessica /tess all of them .
YES!!!!!
I don’t understand why so many people don’t like the new Kate! She’s gorgeous and funny – much, much better than the boring old Kate.
Sorry Val, I just don’t SEE it! She is FAR from gorgeous, and she has ZERO chemistry with Sonny! It’s like they are just FORCING the two of them as a couple, down our throats, as if she was some great love of Sonny’s! Everyone knows that BRENDA was the love of Sonny’s life, and after her, it would be CARLY, and possibly even Olivia BEFORE “Kate”! (Let’s not forget, Hannah, Angel, Reese, etc… who ALL had more sparks with him that THIS chick!) She is just not a good match with him, and no matter HOW MUCH they push her down our throats, she doesn’t have, and never WILL have, any chemistry with Sonny–sorry!
RE: Sorry Val, I just donāt SEE it! She is FAR from gorgeous,
Your right, she is FAR from gorgeous. They have to put heavy make up on that chic for her to be gorgeous. And her hair must be worn back. If its out, she dont look to good. I think they are forcing it. We neee a Brenda lookalike or Brenda herself back. Hannah would be nice BUT that would be strange since Johnathan Jackson is back at home in REAL LIFE with Hannah (Brenda lookalike). Who is Angel, can’t remember her? I wouldn’t mind them exploring the relationship of Oliver and Sonny, for a perfect family with Dante. I don’t like any of the Kates. Did you like the other Kate? Brenda could come came and fight with Blair about their husbands business ventures. I dont like they gave Brenda a baby. That was bad writing. They need to retrack that. It was horrible. Did you like the other Kate? Which one you like best if you had to. Why?
omg ….just heard can not believe it….them 4… are most of my favorites…..im so happy…i couldnt imagine not seeing…todd,blair,or starr…and john of course….now we need natalie…i think gh ratings will definately go up….
gotta have Natalie she’s terrific
YES we cant have john with out Natalie
yes,we need natalie.and jessica.bring some new life to the “mob” show.i mean really,its called general hospital,not general mob.
she is terrific but maybe melissa doesn’t want to move to the west coast………or maybe she will come on later
What about Jolie? Finally together after all these months waiting for him to find out Liam is his and now he is off to Port Charles. I am excited about this but they need to keep the storyline of Jolie to continue.
I cannot believe John will leave Liam and Natalie. Hopefully Melissa Archer will be asked and she will accept.
I waited many years for a Jolie reunion, and if Natalie (Melissa Archer) and Liam are not part of the package I will not watch. It doesn’t ring true to his character to leave his family. I am happy for the OLTL actors who are going, but feel like they are using our loyalty to OLTL to try and increase GH ratings. I wish GH well and am a fan, but I don’t want them messing with the John, Natalie, and Liam story. Micheal Easton should go on there as a Cassadine rather than John McBain if the characters of Natalie and Liam are not going.
Hope they have Natalie (Melissa Archer) join John McBain. I am so excited, I am sure all fans of OLTL. as we all will truely miss the show. I love Rex and Gigi and Shane and Roxy loved to have them on GH but I know they could only bring so many of but it would be cool for them to put both shows on together. Thank You
It will be interersting to see what they come up with as to why these characters are now in Port Charles. I’m very excited at the prospect that this will bring! I am also anxious to see if Jack (although I hope not, since Micheal is one spoiled, entitled, bratty kid too many, at this point) and Sam make it too. How would they explain Todd and Blair leaving them? As well as how they would explain John leaving Liam after just finding out he is his kid. Now that GH has a bigger budget, they defintiely need to get rid of charaters that aren’t important to the storyline or history and bring back those we love! I. E., Jax and Nikolas! Hopefully they could persuade Jonathan Jackson to come back too and lighten his work load since that’s what caused him to leave in the first place. And MAYBE they could even bring back Vanessa Marcil and fix the mockery they made of my beloved Brenda the last time she passed through town!
I totally agree! If John McBain goes to Port Charles, then Natalie has to go with him! Otherwise, this storyline just isn’t gonna work for me and a lot of other fans. I waited a long time to see Natalie and John to finally get back together, so I really don’t want it to get messed up or taken away if John goes to PC without Natalie. Also, I’m wondering how long the OLTL characters will be on GH? I still want OLTL to continue somehow, even if it’s only on once a week!
I’m beyond thrilled as ever!!! But we need the rest of Llanview to arrive in Port Charles, especially Natalie w/ Liam in tow to be with John McMBain!!! I also wanted to see Dani and Tea Delgado too, O and cute Jack Manning, along w/ Clint & Viki, Rex &Gigi w/ Shane, Roxy too.
I’m excited as ever for February to arrive. I’m happy as a clam. Blair better not throw Carly out of any windows.!!!!
That is funny in away cause Blair could kick Carly into place. Love both actresses :>)
Jean I am 100% with you on that it was my comment i added before i saw urs!
What about Natalie and john he should bring his family to gh we finally see them togeather as a couple then u take them away! Bring Johnās Family With him please and the Rest are my Favās so Iām glad to see them go to GH!!
Uh, if they bring on too many OLTL people, GH will become OLTL.02! LOL! I am glad to see these fine actors reprising their roles on GH (even though it’s a soap I never could get into). I will give it a go when they make their first appearances. I never would’ve gotten into OLTL if it hadn’t been for the Bianca/Babe/Kelly babyswitch storyline in 2004. And, I never regretted watching every minute of it for the last 7 years! I wish them all the luck!
Isn’t Jack Manning cute? He gets such a BEATING UP ON. I love those MANY facial expressions he makes, along with that High Sch boys walk of his. And his acting will get better, he is just a rocky yet. People have to keep that in mind.
I agree! John without Natalie & Liam is just too tragic. Love the fact that GH is making space available for some of the actors to relocate to GH. There’s more room… Ethan’s storyline with the lady in white is boring, and Ethan has so much more to offer! Please keep Ethan, and clean house. OLTL had a lot of spectacular actors on its show, and they need the work! š
Ethan leaving the show
What about Natalie and john he should bring his family to gh we finally see them togeather as a couple then u take them away! Bring John’s Family With him please and the Rest are my Fav’s so I’m glad to see them go to GH!!
We need to bring in more stars from One Life To Live lets bring in Natalie, all Todd’s kids, his twin brother and his wife. Also bring in vicki, clint, and Jessica. Now that would make for a very exciting soap with the best of OLTL and the best of GH. We can do away with the woman in white her doc, the old story line with the Cassadines. Keep Sonny and Kate, his kids, Carly & Jax, Sam and Jason, of couse Luke& Emma his kids, Maxie her parents. You can keep the dr’s at port charles but dont see any reason to have much of a story with them. That seems to be pretty borring. I think with the group of OLTL and GH this could be the best soap ever combining the best two soaps there every was.
Natalie needs to go to Port Charles too! I don’t want John with Carly & she would go after him right away. If we can’t keep OLTL as it is the next best thing is to incorporate it into GH, make a blend of the two. Sure can’t hurt GH & would give us OLTL fans a little peace.
thats what I have said all along ,IM am so Excited,now that I read it all they will be staying the same people.Im so happy.
Natalie needs to go to Port Charles also. I would hate for them to get back together on One Life to Live at the end just to end up not together on General Hospital. That wouldn’t work at all. Please bring back Natalie with John on General Hospital.
I totally agree, Natalie just HAS to got to Port Charles with John. They are a family now.
Never watched GH… But willing to give it a shot if it keeps on our people from OLTL… I hope it works out… I guess today is the day I will start watching…
Good point!! Ewww, John with anyone else
I agree that if John goes to GH Natalie must go along. Melissa is the reason I began watching GH and she would make an awesome addition to GH. Those of us that watch both shows would be heartbroken if they split up Nat and John,
Yes that would so awesome. I am so excited they are being added to GH.
I’ve always liked John and Natalie together, but she’s a bit much. She got over Jared waaay too quickly and zoomed in on John when she knew John was with Marty. Although I don’t know how they could possibly get John to GH without Natalie, especially after getting them back together again and knowing that Liam is his son, I’m sure the writers will figure out a way. Either way, for me, Natalie won’t be missed.
oh yes ,and let them be todd, blair,star and john ,Im so excited,I didnt read the whole thing.
I am so excited for the Manning Family I wanted the Mannings 2 be on y&r but I guess I will get used to them on a different show. I just hope Natalie is joined with John . I am just glad they are on my screen again yipppppeeee
Only to be cancelled and break our hearts again?
Of course! If there is money to be made for ABC/Disney shareholders and bonuses for executives, why would feelings matter? Emotional manipulation is the heart and soul of most consumerism, advertising, television, and celebrity culture.
Yep, it is a shame. I woke up with a feeling of loss this morning knowing that oltl would not be on again, at least in that format. I know it is just a show, but for a lot of us it is tied into other things that have happened in our lives. While I was taking care of my dying father we would talk about the shows together once in a while….
I hope that so true, I want to just cry!
OMG I almost just cried I’m sooo happy!!
me too
AWESOME….I love the Mannings…does this mean Lexi comes back as Christina? will Starr be Michaels new love interest?
OMG that’s awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wish they didn’t cancel OLTL but I am happy some of the actors will be playing their same role on GH. I wish Gina Tognoni and few more would go to GH. Now they better not cancel this show as well.
Now bring Roxy over and we’d really have some FUN on this morbid show. Also, how about some AMC funsters like Tad and Jake!
What a stupid idea! John McBain – of the hugely popular pairing of John and Natalie – will be going to GH without Natalie and Liam?? You know they will be testing Michael Easton with Kelly Monaco! This will piss off Jolie and Jasam fans…and be a disaster. Plus, John is a good, smart cop and Sonny and Jason are never wrong in the fictional world of PC…this can’t be a good development. It proves to me that ABC wants GH to be canceled. I won’t watch this!
I am one that has never watched GH.. but to see how this is… shows that ABC is trying a bit… I am still pissed about the whole canceling the shows thing, but willing to give it a try… never know.. might some how bring on something cool, and make GH a better show, for ones like me to watch…
You are the one that is stupid Sharon. I am and other fans are excited of this news. I dont believe GH will be cancelled. There is still hope for Melissa Archer to come to GH. Geez get a life. You are the most negative person on the planet.
“you know they will be testing Michael Easton with Kelly Monaco! ”
I know it seems like AGES ago, but they did work together once, and quite well, on Port Charles when he was Caleb the vampire and she played Livvie.
Yeah, I remember! I think they were a popular couple! āŗ
Whatever the writers come up with, Natalie won’t be missed.
Sorry to put a damper on your hopes that GH WON’T be CANCELLED, too, but IT WILL BE in August! It’ll be replaced by STUPID Katie Couric & her show in Sept.! Argh!!! >..<
And how do you know it’s getting cancelled? You work for ABC?
Heather,
Like so many other fans, I’ve gotten VERY SKEPTICAL, &, by the way ABC has been canceling their SOAPs one after the other, it sounds like they’re LEANING more toward CANCELING “GH,” too, than not!
Here’s a recent article about this subject: https://soapcentral.com/gh/news/2012/0125-lee_future.php.
If John goes to gh what about Natalie and Liam. I can’t see him leaving them behind after he just got them back.
I hope this is not at the expense of GH veterans and fave, if the newbies have to be sacrifice then ok, even though i’m beginning to enjoy some of them, but it would be a big mistake to make GH into OLTL, don’t get me wrong, i’m a oltl fan, But us GH fanatics will raise hell if this starts to become an invasion of to many OLTL actors, a few is ok but not if they’re going to sacrifice are vets.
tough!! we need our oltl charachters so deal with it!! oltl are happy to hear it and we wayyyy out number you ghers! lol..
I don’t watch GH but I totally agree with aria. GH is not OLTL. I hope that they do not turn into OLTL II. That would be unfair to the fans of that show as well as to its history.
I’m not impressed with your remark. OLTL was cancelled. Maybe, YOU need to “deal with it.”
Hey Everyone!
Please, please, let’s stop this in-fighting. We are all mourning the loss of OLTL and we want GH to succeed and stay on the air! Let’s please try to all remember what is going on and not attack one another.
Thx
Michael
yeah but come friday the 13th your show will be in heaven not mine so i’m dealing with it just fine, looks like your not!
What is with all this vitriol? Believe me, when the OLTL actors go to GH, it will be to blend them into the stories going on now, not the other way around. And, if OLTL fans DID outnumber the GHer’s, GH would’ve been cancelled, not OLTL. GH is the highest rated soap on ABC.
WHAT vets? That’s the whole problem with GH-their lack of use of the best! When is the last time Alexis had sex? She has virtually no storyline. Tracy with awful old Anthony? GROSS. They ran Luke into this ground this year-awful what they did to him. Lucky is gone, Robin is gone. Bobbie who? What does Monica do everyday? Now Carly playing with Johnny? Jax creeping around in the shadows? NuKate-not a winner. Maxie (nu-& regular) get on my nerves to the point of having to hit the mute button when she gets going, not to mention getting Maxie & Spinelli together. Does anyone realize that Michael is the full blood grandson of Monica Quartermaine & Bobbie Spencer? These two mainstay characters-with all that the writers have put Michael through-are these two women ever in a scene with him? Bobbie is just gone & Monica might as well be. THIS IS HISTORY that should be written around every day! When he was in prison they should have visited him. When he was in a coma they should have been seen at his bedside. This is where GH falls so short & OLTL shines. HISTORY! FAMILY CONNECTIONS!
your right about all the the cast ,thats because everyday its sonny this and that,I dont want anthony with tracey ,but for some strange reason I like him ,johnny has to a have a father ,anthony does have a way with words,he always makes me laugh, I did not like when he brought lisa out of the coma she was in ,I wanted to reach out and strangle him.but aside from that I like the guy,they have to retire all the mob people,I dont care how ,they just got to go.and bring back the quartermaines.
Gloria i don’t disagree with you, i would love to see Bobbie, Monica, Lesly, and for sure more balance, i know everytime someone criticizes the show they go to sonny or jason or carly as their pushing bag, thats what the old regime did wrong they made the show center around these few characters at the expense of the others, but its not the actors fault, we keep forgetting that Maurice and Steve are extremely popular actors with a huge following and they are paying the price and the blame for what the old regime did wrong. but hopefully this new team coming in will do their homework, and balance this show rich history.
gloria,that is funny ,alexis hasnt had any ,I would say sonny but I think its the guy who plays tomas on one life to live ,Im having a hard time keeping my stories straight ,but you made me laugh when you said that about alexis.She is one of my favorites since santa barbara.and she hasnt had a story for a while.however if i wrote out a list of all the cast members that havent had a story ,thats pretty much all of them ,
Exactly. I complimented you earlier today. I am a GH fan..!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Rather it’s Boring or not. I put on the channel and listen to it and program my TV to come on when I’m not at home at 3pm, so it can get it’s ratings. I dont want this show to turn into OLTL. Especially with them puting character’s on like Blair and Starr which are not COMPLEX, and dementional to fit into GH. Todd is, but he doesn’t deserve the job offer, after vacating the role too many times to count, and the rest of the cast is on the unemployement line. If they wanted to use some OLTL character’s, it should of been the MOST COMPLEX one. Jessica, John McBain, Roxy, Dorian, Victor, then I would exact Todd and Roger Howarth going for storyline purposes only.
I agree. I’m not a GH fan (although I will check out these changes), but bringing over too many OLTL actors will just dilute what GH has going now. Sorry that OLTL was cancelled, believe me, but I’m sure the writers want to incorporate the OLTL actors into the GH canvas without turning GH into OLTL.02.
Watch out jason. John may have the hots for Sam. I heard they have eternal chemistry.
They DO!! As in HOT HOT HOT!! John and Natalie have ZERO chemistry as far as I am concerned. I just never saw it.
I hope he DOES get with someone on the show, but not Kelly, because although they were sizzling on PC, I love her with Jason! Maybe he could get with Elizabeth??
Him getting with Elizabeth is like him being with Natalie…. (though I like them together) BUT it would be simular. McBain needs a REAL woman, not a little girl. Natalie is like a girl, although I like them together, not love them together. Elizabeth is like a little girl to me still. babies and all. It would be like he and Natalie but far…………..worst.
Funny
I am really Happy that some of OLTL stars will be on GH. I really just wish they were not canceling the show…
Some GH fans (who aren’t OLTL fans) might object to this crossover, but I think that it’s great! I look forward to McBain (hopefully, Natalie and Liam will join him eventually) and the Mannings mixing it up with the citizens of PC. Looks like I’ll have to start tuning in to GH again at the end of February.
I am a HUGE GH fan and was always interested in the Manning family. The little I’ve seen of them over the years has been great. This really is going to be awesome.
Blair is washed up. She’s a boring character…time to let her go. You couldn’t think of someone else to bring along..or at least someone younger. Kassie DePavia looks a little too old these days..needs some work done. And that southern drawl. I just can’t see this mix. And the Star character is so over played that she is annoying. Couldn’t you have done better!
This has to be the rudest comment I have ever read here !!! Hey Josie, post a picture of yourself so Kassie can comment on you.
she’ s beautiful! if anyone’s old its monica who’s had so much work done she’s all plastic and botox and fillers and probably a wig too! !lol.., kassie is natural!
Washed up? I guess you didn’t see her scenes all last year with Jack. She was fantastic-Emmy worthy. And you must have missed her in bed with Tomas-still hot! And I guess missed every other scene she’s been in. She is gorgeous as ever & what accent? (kidding here, I am southern too) But washed up? I don’t THINK so.
Um, excuse me Ms. Gloria. Kassie DePaiva isn’t washed up at all. She’s in her 40s & She’s great. I can’t wait til Carly meets up w/ Blair.
Now I know that Leslie Charleson is an older actress but has “History w/ GH.” I’ve been watching GH since I was 17 years old, yes during the Luke & Laura Saga back then. So Let’s just say something nice and not be so mean etc. If you want to be mean go watch the News , it’s awful in the Middle East etc. Thank You much.
She’s actually in her 50’s but I still agree with you that she’s still looking as beautiful as ever.
your comments are rude, exasperating and very uncalled for – what gives you the right to make such a statement about another human being?? smh
Josie, I agree with you that her character is not fitting for Port Charles. Blair fits best in Landview with it’s ‘s cow boys and gals, and plays well with Blair’s Southern drawl. The character of Blair and Starr you can find on ANY soap, kinda like you said regarding Starr…. being way overated. For a OLTL character to go to GH, they need to be extremely COMPLEX and different. Victor, Roxy, Jessica, Vicky, Dorian, John, and yes Todd. But Todd, Roger Howarth isn’t deserving of this having vacated the role more times than people can count, while the other actor’s are on the unemployement line, including Trevor St. John, who was dismissed, when Howarth returned. I will not forgive OLTL for this, no matter how much I love the show, nor abc. Howarth comes back for 5 months, and gets the new gig, NOT. It’s **** **!
Kassie DePaiva is the most gifted and beautiful actress on OLTL (and she is exactly 50 — and looks fantastic!). GH is lucky to get her.
im so excited all three of them are coming on board very exciting for general hospital cannot wait to see them from canada
luv that they will be together
Shut UP!! I am SOOO Excited!
I’m with ya,Lisa. š
Yay!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
now all we need is vicki,clint ,bo ,nora and roxy who will be the new owner of the spencers diner ,natalie,jessica,and of course tia because tomas is heading to port charles to.am I asking to much?nigel,he has to be vicki and clints ,what are they called? butler,Im so happy Im in tears ,and here is a thought I had last night,do you think frons got kicked out of abc ,because he canceled the wrong soap?just a thought.
sounds good!! let em all come!! and can sonny (which is why i quit watching gh years ago)and other dumb gh charachters
for a very long time ,I have called gh the sonny corithos show ,I love one life to live would rather it stays on .I have just put up with gh ,but now I believe things will start getting better again in port charles.Its been a very long time since general hospital was really good.Its always the same thing going on. I hope that jason pops off franco ,and he stays dead,for good.Looks like its going to happen this week,ILL be watching..
You ARE asking for too much! GH is not trying to become OLTL.02! Let’s just see what these FOUR actors are going to add to GH and stop dreaming about the impossible.
thank you general hospital at least ill have todd what about johns baby and natalie could you bring them too
What about Natalie and Liam? They need to be with John, since he is going over to PC on GH now. They need to get married and be together like a family. Liam is his son. I know that he does not want to be away from his son. He wants to be with him. He ought to want to be with his mother, Natalie.
John cannot go to Port Charles at GH without Liam and Natalie.
Starr cannot be without her daughter Hope either.
They, also, need to get some people over from AMC as well over there.
OLTL better end happy in order for them to go to GH’s turf to continue on.
PLUS, the more people that go to GH from OLTL, the more OLTL fans will watch GH because of the people of OLTL.
I’m a big fan of OLTL, but if a lot of people go to GH from OLTL, then I will be definately watching GH because of that. And so will a lot of people.
dang right!! lol..
watched GH over the years ….it never could hold my interest longer than two weeks here and there.
Looking forward to GH now that some of my favorite characters from OLTL will be moving over.
The Mannings are interesting ….I would hope Dorian would move over too. But I doubt that would happen.
Robbin from what I have read is busy with broadway and other things.
OMG…This is so exciting, I feel like I am having a HEART ATTACK! I was just thinking how GH has been less than stellar lately. This will definitely bring new life to the show!!! YAY!!!!!!
What about Trevor St. John – I want him to come to GH also. And Natalie and Liam. I am happy for the actors coming to GH but am sorry for the rest of the cast. What will happen to Viki, Clint, Bo, and so many others??? We still need to find a home for OLTL. Let’s keep up our fight for the great storyteller Agnes Nixon and her soaps, OLTL and AMC. I am proud to be one of Agnes Nixon’s SWANs!!!!!
Shirley, stroll down to my post, the long one, and read what I wrote about Trevor St. John being cheated, Roger back at OLTL and get the gig is shinny California. GH should continue the role of the 2 Todd’s.
you never know – trevor just may come later on…………..i am keeping my fingers crossed! š
I can’t stand Roger Howarth! The only reason i started watching OLTL again is because they replaced him with Trevor. He’s a marvelous actor and not bad to look at either. Gluggggg. I can’t fathom why anyone would want Roger Dodger over Trevor. Have basically watched OLTL and GH since they started. Love these soaps, but your right GH has slipped a bit out of 1st place for me and OLTL had crept into the slot. I hope this all works.!
I think that is a GREAT idea!!!! Can’t wait to see them on GH — I love watching GH and AMC and OLTL. Glad they are all going to GH. Sad to see OLTL go though as well as AMC.
But, I am glad they still have a soap opera career
It’s funny, I actually thought about John going to PC and cleaning up the town and I thought about the Mannings excluding Starr. But no Natalie? John just got his son back, why would he leave both of them? I am glad they are on for however long it lasts, but Jolie fans have been waiting forever…why would they leave her out especially since they were going online before it fell through? Oh well.
Why should we trust a.b.c. & disney with anything they say or do? They have proven to be untrustworthy, cold and liars. What do we when G.H. gets cut,for more food & health shows. (they belong on a diffrent channel. ) Just put back are shows and stop jerking us around a.b.c. & disney.
You are so very right !!!
I don’t trust ABC /Disney either . I think they are doing this to shut up the fans for awhile. Just as they did giving Prospect Park the rights of AMC and OLTL knowing that they would not be able to pull it off and their mistake in cancelling these shows wouldn’t be noticed.
This is so awesome! I was happy to find out they were going to GH, but to know they will still be the Mannings and John McBain! So happy! I am so heartbroken about OLTL and will miss watching them but happy that we could still see Todd, Blair, Starr and John again! YAY!!!!! Thank you for this great news!!!!
Bittersweet. Glad the actors get jobs. Sad OLTL is cancelled. Not a GH fan at all, but will have to fast forward over scenes except OLTL characters.
Now they’ve got to bring Natalie and Liam, how about Clint and Vicki and DEFINITELY DAVID VICKERS and Dorian. Sorry, GH fans, I know this must be hard for you to hear.
Sorry Ann. They are on a budget. One show is only limited to so many cast, and they can’t bring back all your people when they have just hired 3 people, and U added 5 along to that.
Exactly. What’s up with everyone with their heads in the sky? GH is not going to massively slide over the cast from OLTL to GH. That doesn’t even make sense.
Do not want. Crossovers are a desperate attempt and I don’t think they need to alienate GH viewers even more. Then again, I don’t watch OLTL. If it brings more fans/ratings, cool. But if it also alienates established fans of GH in the process, is it really worth it? Wouldn’t that balance out the status quo?
i really don’t think gh viewers will be alienated – i have watched gh since the early 60’s & oltl since 1971 and i think this is an excellent move – i think it will bring the fans of both soaps together……jmo
Ethel, with all due respect, you watch both shows. I’m talking about those of us that solely watch GH. A lot of people have wanted to jump ship as viewers for awhile now- myself not included- but the show has gone through so many changes this season that something this big *might* alienate viewers of only GH. It may not but it could.
What a brilliant move by Frank Valentini, and I am sure the first of many!!!!! I look forward to how he and Ron set the new canvas for Port Charles and their cast of wonderful characters!!! I am sooooo very excited about this move, and cannot wait to see the Mannings and John in Port Charles, they will fit in perfectly. John and Dante will be a good team at the PCPD!!!!! I am hopeful that Natalie will come at some point as well, as I would hate to see John only in work related storylines. Bravo Mr. Valentini and lots of good luck to all those involved. How about Rex taking over the role of Lucky Spencer or even a new role? I would love that too!!! I am on the positive train, and am hopeful that GH and all those involved with the show will have lots more longevity at ABC!!!!
I agree with 99% of what you wrote! FV is trying to gain viewers to GH by bringing over good talent from OLTL. Kudos abc for allowing this once you realized the hard way what an awful mistake you made cancelling the other soaps.
Get rid of the nonsense now at GH. LIW. Dr Ewan. Ethan. Maggie. Delores.
Buh Bye!
The only thing I MUST disagree with, is leave Gnat behind. HATE them as a couple. John can do better!!
Yeah, good by, Natalie, and good riddance.
Clearly ABC knows they cancelled the wrong show. They should take responsibility and cancel GH and bring back OLTL. This OLTLizing will be a mess. It a cheap stunt to shore up dismal GH ratings. As a fan for over 15 years, i won’t watch because One is the whole package, not just Todd. And ABC will do it again when Katie Couric gets her show.
Exacly Max, read my tex below.
Excuse Me, Mr. Max, CANCEL GH are You nuts o Nuts????!!!! I’ve been watching GH since 1980 and this show is much older than OLTL and AMC. GH started in April 1963 That’s a long, long time. I understand that the “Powers to Be” have control of whom is hired on this show. I DON”T WANT KATIE CURIC To Take MY GH AWAY!!!!
I have to agree with Mr. Max. OLTL is a vastly superior soap to GH in writing, acting and remembering the history of the show. Although I miss AMC, it had been suffering for at least 4 years with poorly directed storylines that went nowhere, characters coming and mysteriously disappearing with storylines hanging. GH has gone down that same road. Bringing over OLTL actors can only help GH and increase viewership.
I’m not cancelling GH, Bob Iger and the Disney Board of Directors are. I’m just saying what is in the works, Katie can be stopped. If you want to stop this I suggest you buy lots of Disney stock and exercise your rights. Or get people to contact the Disney board, advertisers, and large investors and convince them they are making another mistake. IMO if they cared about the viewers, this would have never gotten this far. It should be clear that only economics rules the day. And, yes I am nuts (for OLTL). š
what can also happen ,the chew or that revoluton garbage can fail, they can move boring katie in there spot.It still blows my mind that abc bought that woman she is boring ,she could not do the news ,they overpaid her and cbs couldnt wait till she was gone ,I remember the first time she did the evening news on her first night she got up from the desk came in front ,sat on the desk crossed her legs ,I laughed my ass off ,was she trying to throw sex in the news ?anyways shes an ass,I dont like her and as Ive said before ,If you need to see a collonoscopy katie is your girl .abc no one wants katie couric ,shes just another boring mouth piece.
Max., I am replying to your post above talking about Disney board of directors, advertiser’s and such….. But I’m replying to your finale sentence, you are nuts. You are not nuts Max, you are a man who knows how to express himself, very clearly and sometimes with lots of GOOD humor. lol
Thanks, 1.
Absolutely a WONDERFUL idea!!!! I am so glad this is happening!!! This will keep the Port Charles area spiced up!! Yay GH for doing this!!!!
that great I heard kristen was going to gh but to know todd and blair willbe going as well that awesome there is a god.
Wow OH Wow! BUT what does that mean for any chances of OLTL coming back? I’ll watch GH because of this, but will not watch any other ABC show unless they wake up and bring back our soaps.
Same here !!!
How can Natalie and Liam not go with John? Don’t get me wrong… the news is fantastic! Let’s get more of them over there! Way to go Frank!
Happy about the actors having jobs. Not happy that Sonny is still on the canvas. GH is the Sonny Knows Best Show, and it’s really unfortunate.
oh yeah! There is 1 bright thing with this debacle ABC daytine has created by cancelling 2 beloved shows. I will start watching GH if this story is true!
Does anyone wonder if this isn’t a way to save OLTL and get GH and OLTL to be half hour shows and move them off to some other network or some other company to make and sell back to a network? Has this been in the works for awhile like since they did the What If episodes?
Well, after all that waiting for those of us who watched OLTL what about Natalie? (Melissa) Will John (Michael) and the viewers have to do without her?
So excited can’t wait. Hopefully Natalie and Liam will get 2 come as well.
Love this idea yes John can be a great crime solver in Port Charles. I wonder if the story line will have to change since John thinks that Todd killed Victor. Natalie needs to come along too>> I guess that star will become a STAR in Port Charles
A dream come true would be a few of all my children would be put on incorporating their connection with Skye — and at least let us see the end of the cliffhanger… Thanks GH for giving some of our favs a home!!!
Perfect, now bring along Dorian and Roxy and GH will be watchable!
this was a no brainer……..Im so happy that the mannings are keeping oltl alive….who know who may follow
yes – i was thinking the same thing!
i hoping more can follow giving the fact that they have to move to the west coast to tape gh…………
I liked the AW few that moved from Bay City to ATWT and Oakdale but it did not last. Considering who in charge of GH now, I have to hope this relocation will work better. I wonder what the Mannings will do in upstate New York? Did we not read the actor playing Tomas Delgado was headed to GH, too? Hmmmmm… a renewed triangle? I assume Todd will be able to move on without murder charges hanging over his head in Llanview. It will have me following, for sure!
i am hoping that ted king will reprise his role as one of the alcazar brothers rather than be tomas delgado………..
I have a funny feeling that Todd didn’t kill Victor after all.
I sat thinking the other day that maybe they should put some of OLTL’s actors over on GH. I was shock when I actually saw the first commercial for it! I am very happy to see this, but not so happy when I saw a name missing on the list. Hello…Natalie!! She and John just got back together. Now you want to seperate them! Ugh… I wish Farah and JP were going over there too. I guess you can’t over due it though. Well I hope it brings in more viewers for GH. I would hate to see another great long time soap go under.
I am so thrilled! I am a die hard OLTL fan and watch GH 20 years ago. This is wonderful news! I just set the DVR. Although I am still devastated that OLTL was canceled, this eases the pain a bit.
This is just ABC’s way of trying to keep the fans quiet. While I am happy for the stars who are going to be on GH, this is just bull. I still plan to boycott ABC daytime including the View. I hope that those that have made the same decision prior to this announcement, maintain their conviction.
you have to watch the view,so It gets high ratings then never watch it again,so the ratings sink,This is abcs way of keeping us quiet ,But its not going to work IM still very much pissed off at abc I want all my children back and one life to live to stay on.And this move by abc will not change .I watch general hospital then The channel gets changed,abc cant make a decision on whether or not to keep g.h..that speaks volumes .that still tells me that they dont give a rats ass about me.and I Dont give a rats ass about there stinking channel.
Very well put !!!!
i third that
Hey Barbara, do you still have the post in your email of the information I sent about the 4 things WE ALL should be continueing to do, along with the telephone number of disney, etc….. If you still have it, can you post if back by replying to me.,… Thank you every much.
i am still boycotting abc except for oltl & gh- i will only watch gh on abc starting monday
