Can’t wait to watch this story unravel, love Donna Mills.
I have to disagree. Nothing against the actress, but why would I care about any more new characters that come on, especially when they are here as part of a story that revolves around other new characters. All the while Sean Kanan’s AJ is gone. Do the majority of GH fans really want Donna Mills as madeline along with Silas and Nathan and in no time Nina taking front and center? Characters with no ties at all to GH history? If the show thinks it needs Donna Mills, why isn’t she a Quartermaine relative, or a Spencer or somebody with… Read more »
Donna so far has signed for only a 2 month story arc…but i like her!!! I love the mystery surrounding Silas…i am disappointed A.J. is gone…he and Carly had great chemistry and wouldve been great as the next Alan and Monica…
Even if you don’t quit watching GH, would you consider making room for DAYS?
long story
Loving Donna Mills from the first moment. That voice still gives me the tingles! Not sure how I feel about the plausibility of Nathan being Madeline’s son and becoming a cop to avenge his sister, but it’s a soap and I’ll go with it.
I really hate her so much she is a ugly bitch. Nathan is so lucky he is so happy about his own mom obrerght I know she is bitch but she had a nice heart about her own son
I think once Nathan, Sam and Silas find out that Mr. Reeves left everything to Nina, mama Reeves will become the more reasonable suspect in what happen to Nina and the murder of the pharmacist.
I thought the same thing, or she found Nina who had actually attempted suicide, and decided to frame Silas for Nina’s attempted murder.
It would have been nice if this story involved one single character that we care about. This regime is going off the rails with newbies, stunt casting, mobsters, and psychos. .. Cartini clearly has no interest whatsoever in writing the General Hospital we know and love. It is saddening and maddening, because they have broken every promise they made when they took over.
It is the lazy way because writing stories that involve crime families, criminals, mad scientists and the like has the drama built in, there is no need for creative thinking. Weaving compelling dramas based in real life and real life issues requires imagination and skill to bring to life fully fleshed out characters with real motivations and to do all this in an entertaining way, which is becoming a lost art in general, but in soaps most of all. This is why blew it with AJ and the Q’s– the whole infighting over the estate could have been a gold… Read more »
Britains Coronation Street is a lot like you describe: character driven drama that is more realisticly based on real life than our American soaps…the British have the imagination and skill that is sorely lacking in our shows!!! Coronation Street is now my favorite soap!!!
You don’t “relish” it! LOL
I hope she has some screen time with Leslie C., both played sisters on Love Is A Many Splendored Thing…Maddie could be Monicas estranged sister or something…Nathans father could still be Victor Cassidine…tie these people to the vets…especially to Monica who will eventually have less airtime now that A.J. is leaving…reveal Silas’s lookalike brother as the person responsible for Ninas coma or did Maddie try to knock off her own daughter for the money? Not sure if i want her trying to kill her own daughter for money unless Nina had a terminal illness and it was a mercy killing… Read more »
Donna Mills only signed on for a two month story arc according to tv guides Micheal Logan…so i could be rightl..Madeline tried to kill her own daughter for the money but tptb hints they like her to stay longer and maybe William Devane as her allegedly dead husband…another one i suggested…hopefully if Donna stays it was Stephan Clay who tried to kill Nina!!!
I’m not understanding why in God’s name Silas has not brought up the possibility of it having been his brother who wrote and picked up the Rx. I hadn’t gotten around to watching again then, but my daughter has been watching all along and said they could pass for twins.
Well Brenda, soaps seem to like to dumbdown their characters…enough said!!!
Looking forward to this arc…Donna Mills is still smoking HOT!
get rid of Ava and make Donna Mills permanent.
Great idea!
I Love the character of “Ava” and Maura West. I say keep them both and place them in scenes with one another.
Ava is a much more interesting character than DM is playing any day.
I enjoy Maura West’s Ava also. The problem for me is that she has committed murder. Not to mention the shooting of Olivia. I need to see people who do unspeakable things receive their punishment for such and not have them get away with it (ala Franco). Her crimes need to be discovered and she needs to be sent off to jail (like Johnny Z), regardless of the fact that she has been a breath of fresh air in an otherwise stale cast.
@Carol She’s been there two days! Do you know something we don’t?
They are killing off all the Q family, they were the heart of GH they were fun with all the in fighting.
This story line is all about revenge. We want Franco to be more fun and turn out to be a Q.
Loving Donna Mills as always!!
In two days she has out-acted every actor on that show. Maybe this mediocre bunch will learn from her. Just pissed that she came on and foiled my plan of giving up GH.
Watched Friday (not yet Monday), and was frankly underwhelmed by Donna Mills. Was not a “Knots Landing” fan, to be honest, but she just seemed too understated for me. Made Michael Easton (the David Duchovny of daytime) seem like Laurence Olivier. Get this girl som 5 Hour Energy!
a little shaky in the acting, yeah? I’m hoping she perks up 😉 This storyline isn’t all that exciting in itself.
Donna Mills has just begun, the best is yet to come..
It needs to build..
She has been on screen for about 15 minutes..
Soap stuff is not instant and Donna Mills will become vivid, I’m sure ….
(waiting for it 🙂
I know soap stuff isn’t instant, I’ve watched for 35 years. I’m just saying ….. I wasn’t terribly Impressed by her first appearance but hoping she starts to fit into the canvas. I’m not a fan of stunt casting usually but I do like Donna Mills as an actress and loved her as Abby on Knots Landing!
I absolutely adore Donna Mills, from her playing Abby Ewing on Knots Landing-one of the best primetime dramas. I am so happy that she agreed to come to Port Charles. Donna will definitely “up” the interest of this lagging storyline. I find Silas more interesting without boring, monotone, (always in black and white and boots) Sam. I find Sam very, very boring. Let’s bring some excitement to this storyline.
This could all be SO much more satisfying if James Nathan Reeves only THINKS his mother’s maiden name was West, when that was actually her first husband’s name. Her real maiden name is Bard, making her Monica’s estranged sister. Madeline escaped their poverty-stricken background by marrying wealthy Dr. West, only she left him for even richer Mr. Reeves, who ended up leaving her broke. Now, decades later and desperate, Madeline’s history with Silas has brought her to Port Charles, where she discovers her estranged sister has become one of the last-standing members of the Quartermaine family, not quite as wealthy… Read more »
LOVE this. BIG TIME.
Thanks! Since Ned has been gone, there hasn’t been a good “Straight man” to play off of the Quartermaines’ mania and Nathan West would fit the bill. There would also be the good plot point of him as a cop with an allegiance to his newfound family who usually operate under their own version of the rules versus the law that he’s been upholding as a cop for years. It’s sad to think it didn’t occur to Ron Carlivati to go this route, as it wouldn’t just reunite Donna Mills with Leslie Charleson in a substantial way, but would allow… Read more »
I can remember back in the 60s when I was a little kid, I watched the soap opera, Secret Storm. That is the first time I remember seeing Donna Mills. I thought she was so beautiful and so talented. All these years later, she still looks fabulous. I’m glad she is now a part of GH even if it is only for a few months. Her character does interest me and I’m looking forward to see where this storyline is going. On another note… even though we were asked to comment on Donna Mills, I can’t NOT comment about Sean… Read more »
Wow I love Donna Mills as Madeline, she is a terrific actress. I Hope they offer Donna a contract role, she looks very hot for 73 years old.
You have always been a favorite of mine ever since I first saw those beautiul blue eyes of yours. You, as an actress stand at the top of my list.
p.s.: Keep up the great work on “GH”!!!
Donna Mills is a fantastic, talented actress. I only started watching GH for her.
Ryan Peavey is pretty damn fine too.
I love Donna Mills! She does not need more energy! Many of the actors on this show are constantly yelling, thinking that the more dramatic you are the better actor you are; not at all! Donna Mills gets her point across in subtle ways and I’m very glad she is not yelling and caring on like some of them do on this show. I was hoping she was going to be the one backing Julian though instead of getting stuck in the Silas storyline. I don’t find him interesting at all. But would have loved to seen Donna act with… Read more »
Donna Mills is a welcome addition, IMO. Would love to see scenes with she & Jane Elliot as conspirators…or rivals for Fluke’s attention?
Also: has anyone thought of/suggested Susan Haskell as Nina? Could throw an interesting wrench into both the Carco AND Silam storylines…
I barely recognized her for all the ghoulish makeup. GH needs a new makeup artist. The older women are looking so much worse for the heavy black eye makeup. And what is with the phony sparkly eyes? Drops? BTW Anthony Geary should lose the makeup too. It’s starting to look like the Night of the Living Dead on that show.
This story line is predictable of soaps of yesteryear! Bring back the stories that made GH a true success! Mob wars, Sonny vs all wannabe mobsters. The new storybook is dated and boring. Stay on topic. Quit veering off subject like, as if you’re competition is still on television! Your writers were doung great, until the other soaps saud goodbye. GH is NOT liable in adhering to ‘soap protocol of the 80’s!”
Always good to see my former Taft high school classmate, Donna Mills.
Our class always watches for her and we share information at our quarterly luncheons.
Donna, you brighten every set you work on. Keep going, we’ll follow you.
