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, “Get out of my house! I don’t want a son like you!” 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 she’d 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. 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, 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, “And if your mom was alive, she would send you away too!” Next, Danny punched out Rocco, leading to a terrible brawl. An angered Danny yells at Rocco to, “Stay away from me and everyone in my family. And don’t you ever mention my mom again!” 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.

I love it!!
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT SO FAR. VERY EXCITED ABOUT THEM RETURNING AS DIFFERENT CHARACTERS, IT SHOWS WHAT GREAT ACTORS AND ACTRESS THAT THEY ARE. CAN’T WAIT TO SEE WHAT’S IN STORE FOR THEM AND WHAT STORYLINES WILL BE THE BEST OF THE BEST. I JUST LOVE HAVING THEM BACK ON GH, BEEN WATCHING FOR 50YRS, ON MY SECOND HALF NOW AND KNOW WHEN THEIR GOOD PEOPLE OR NOT. LOVE THEM!!!!
So is the Todd lookalike really Franco back from the dead wit a new face job? I mean, I don’t get his interest in bringing down the Quartermaines… LOL Maybe he just DOESN’T like relish???
Ooops just noticed that Roger Howarth’s new face has NO scar. Gotta be Franco. Look out Quartermaines!!!!!!!
Well I think Kiki could be Franko’s daughter. Maybe Todd’s character is Franko too.
As for Michael Easton’s character, I have no idea! 😉
Mark, Calebs brother
Why do I not remember Mark? I was actually hoping Michael would come back as Caleb. He is, after all, alive.
Caleb doesn’t have a brother!
Caleb doesn’t have a brother, but Stephen Clay does & Michael Easton’s character is Stephen Clay’s brother.
The same here!
I thought Kristin would be Franco’s daughter, too. The question is, will she be like him?
This is going to be interesting indeed. can not wait! RH looks awesome with the highlights. KA is going to be a real ball twister and they didn’t show ME. But we all know who is.
they showed sam running in to him at the hospital that morgan was in
Yes, they showed Michael. Michael was the one Sam ran into. He had his hair pulled back and at first I didn’t even recognize him.
Ugh. I feel sorry for the actors, but this is a pretty crappy idea..
Totally agree. i saw a photo of Kristen with awesome makeup and interesting clothes and some kind of usual scarf. I thought it was for the character. She looked more different than Starr than she did on the show today. They should have made KA and ME look more diifferent.
I’m with you. Not impressed at all. Next…
I wouldn’t feel sorry for them. They’re actors! Roles change all the time…I’m sure it’s exciting, challenging and fun to take on a new role. Particularly for Kristen….she’s been Starr since she was a child.
Could you explain your reasoning?
agreed
RH and ME will rock GH, they are great no matter who they play..
I am sure FV and RC will give them both great characters that fit their acting talents, It will be a good 3 weeks, or more before they will fit in.
As for KA, she will be for the first time in her life out of her safety zone of OLTL character Starr..
So, I will give a lot of space to KA to develop and I hope she does well on her first outing as someone other than her life long Starr character, it must be frightening for her, in more than one way.. I will support her..
I am looking forward to the 3 to bring it to GH and ALL the characters together will knock it out of the park..
((the complainers and whiners will spewing their usual ”I hate this and that and everything” after the first 5 minutes, beware LOL
I agree! I am just so glad they are all three back. Just hope they stay, which means I hope they are not evil…
You must be psychic because right below this comment is one of those “i hate this” comments. LMAO!
The way this is playing out ABC may as well have cancelled GH and just moved OLTL into its time slot.
has to agree with you but its these same folks complaining about the online shows, they are not happy with anything ahhhhh such is life 😉
all the haters needs to sit just down somewhere & be glad gh is still on the air……………..
It’s awful.
I totally agree. Love having them back on GH. Exited to see what Cartini has in store for them.
Roger Howarth looks awful. Hate the blonde hair and miss Todd’s scar. I already know I’m not going to like this 🙁
Give it a chance! They had no choice in the matter.
Liked KA’s darker hair; hate RH’s lighter hair. Can’t they come up with something else? And the hair cut accentuates his ears sticking out. What a horrible thing to do to him.
OK with me that the scar is gone.
I thought the same thing about his ears :-/
his ears have always sticked out…that’s why I loved his look in the early days of OLTL…when he rocked that long hair. however, I actually think he looks great with his new blond locks…now if he could grow them long again…
I think Roger Howarth looks amazing with the blonde hair..I just wish I knew who the HELL he is!!! Lol. Today he says he wants to reintroduce himself to everyone..I am sitting on the edge of my seat. Thanks General Hospital!!!
Tonya, I TOTALLY agree with you!! I LOVE the blond hair and RH is an excellent actor anyway!! I am SO excited to see what the storyline is and how they work in as Port Charles members! RH is for SURE the “REAL Franco” and the “Psycho Franco” was a fake!!
haha…his ears have always “stuck” out…not sticked! LOL.
I think KiKi is Franco’s kid an Todd’s character is KiKi’s stepdaddy and Micheal Eastons character is Micheal Morley an hope he falls in love with sam
oh goody! I double feature featuring Roger Howarth today! on OLTL and GH! can’t wait to watch!
it’d be ironic if Roger’s new character is responsible for a poisoning because he’s been the victim of poisoning on OLTL! te he
I know how crazy on one life victor poised todd.
Hope they have a strong story line. Hope hair color is not the big deal.
I’m over it. Too much hoopla about 3 “stars” who we could have gotten along without. Now they’ve sora’d Morgan and lost the 7 year age gap between him and his brother and completely changed his personality so that they can work in Kiki. I’m not happy.
And it’s a little difficult to think of these 3 people as other characters when it’s been very little time since we last saw them and there’s been very little change of appearance.
Totally agree with everything you said. Do not like that Morgan looks almost as old or maybe even the same age as Michael. Agree with what you said about the “new” characters.
I think they should have moved on from the 3 one lifers as well. Its ridiculous to have all of them walking around as new characters at the same time and especially as you said bj, with such a short amount of time that has passed since their departures. It’s hard enough to accept one actor that returns even after a substantial amount of time in a different role than the one they originally portrayed so these three should have been cut loose no question. The money spent on these actors contacts could have served a much better purpose toward bringing back more GH favorites such as Sarah Brownand a long term Vanessa Marcil return. Bring back Stephen Nichols or Rena Sofer. These 3 transplants are a waste of resources especially under the circumstances!
These 3 people are ACTORS!!! I know that I will be able to see them as new characters. Because they all are AMAZING!!! Give them a chance for Pete’s sake!!! And Sam looked beautiful today. I want her beauty supplies, lol.
WOW &OMG !!!!!!!!!!!!! Great promo ! KIKI Or should we say Aka Lauren Frank!!!!!!!!!! And as for Roger And his new roll and Poisoning the Q”s He has to be the New Franko!!! Nobody else would do it… And as for Micheal I have a funny his new roll is Calbe ! remember Sam felt like someone was watching her at the church, and when the vampier story was on for a short time and when they thought it was Steven clay was dead?! And when Lucy saw what she thought was a dead Steven Clay and asked where the ring was and the dude say he didn’t have a ring on!!!!!!! But he put it back on him and he jumped right off the table and walked away!!! i feel like he is going to play Calbe But pose as someone else!!! IMO This is who I think they are playing !!!!!!!!
My thought? Hope the poisoning results in ending The Chew, and they bring back One Life to Live! LOL!
I thought it was Steven Clay that was dead. That was NOT Caleb on the table. He was in the room…and very much alive. Or as alive as the undead can be.
Good thinking Laurie! 😉
He didn’t jump off the table? The ME who said “there was no ring” turned into him as he walked away, right? Or did I not see that right? Anyways, I just don’t know yet what I think about this all. I will wait to make my decision. But I do miss Michael/Starr, I liked them then she *poof* disappeared with a mysterious phone call, *sigh* poor Michael, can’t keep a girl.
I can’t wait to see all three. I hope their writing gets better now. The writing since the nurses ball has been a 1 on a scale of 1 to 10. This show was really jumping for a while but it needs serious help at this point.
OMG YES!! After the nurses ball the writing went totally downhill!! It has been a snoozefest literally i have fallen asleep on it numerous times. I really hope these three give GH a much needed jolt but I dont know i really feel most viewers are sick of all the behind the scenes drama they hear about AND too put all your eggs in one basket like they are doing with these three actors may backfire.
I agree, what on earth has gone on with the writing since the 50th show? Once all my faves left like Jack Wagner, we’re stuck with Pickle Lila, crappy new LULU and this stupid Sabrina/Patrick/Britt mess. Praying for more RH & LW again!! They were awesome together. Hopefully the pickle story is done — btw, who puts relish on crackers?
HAHA “Who puts relish on crackers” is so true! I was watching Anna Devane do it last week at Kelly’s and was like “WTF-maybe it’s a British thing?” Relish in my mind goes on/in three things: hot dogs, hamburgers, and if you’re from the South, tuna fish.
And I agree, the writing and sense of excitement I got from the 50th Anniversary lead-up episodes and The Nurses’ Ball eps has disappeared. I don’t think anything will top Luke & Laura taking off to find Lulu in the helicopter and Anna running around with a walkie talkie!
Haha…. right? 🙂
What was Anna eating anyway? Lettuce & relish? Oh Yum!! I guess it’s true what they say about British food being bland.
Hopefully they start picking up the pace again here real soon!!
To answer your question, I am soooo over it. The whole thing is just plain silly, to be honest. I just wish that PP and ABC would learn to share their toys.
Very funny last part of your comment. Could this be a soap suicide?
Good posts Cheryl & Jan!
I think Roger is Franco…. Making him the father of KIKI…. and I think Michael Easton will be Stephen Clay
So maybe Franco never died in the fire. He had all this plastic surgery done…oh yeah! Of course, that story has been done over and over…
He will be Franco, but, he will play the “real Franco” the “Franco” James Franco played will turn out to have been an Imposter, Heather knwoing about it also, will paly into storyline, hence clearing RH return and explaining it somewhat palusibly and KiKi “Lauren” being his daughter also.
Sorry about the quick typo on knowing
Also, possible, they were switched at birth, Cause, Heather and Susan didn’t want the Quatermaine family to know he was out there.
Franco is dead, Jason shot him several times close up, even Jason could not miss at that close range, Kiki COULD be a nickname for Lauren Frank, although i always thought Kristen was coming back as an older Serena Baldwin.
I think Roger is Franco also. This is a soap you can be shot in the head at point blank range and one year later come back alive. If stavros cassadine can survive falling into a bottomless pit and live then Roger can be reincarnated into Franco no problem.
It is just a soap, which means Franco could very much be alive. No one ever really dies…
he’s the Real franco, so he’s really jasons twin, the other franco was an imposter. thats what i think, so he’s franco n therefore lauren franks real father and their both Quatermaines.
Completely, AGREE!!
ABC sucks. They should have never messed with our soap opera daytime line-up. I’m not supporting GH anymore either. I only started to watch because I wanted to get what ever I could from missing OLTL. Now that they changed the characters drew ABC.
Tamara;
What would you have ABC do, they wanted to please the fans and return the actors who alot of us really enjoy, but, legally, they could not. Just give it some time, everything else has been GREAT, I think, except for the Vampire storyline and the Pickle Lilia stuff.
It looks good…better than some thought…hope theres no letdown…the show felt a little draggy the last week but to me its picking up again! Best of all the serials!
jimh;
I totally agree it is the best and has been SO good lately, except the relish storyline.
The relish story was ok at first…but as it dragged on it got boring! But i do love it when Tracy and A.J. continue the tradition of the bickering Qaurtimaines. Now i want Leslie and Monica to go at it!
IMO, and we all know what they say about opinions, GH has way too many actors on their roster, and though they brag and get praise for their veterans being on, how often has Finola Hughes been featured recently? Like all soap writers and exec producers seem to do, Carlavatti and Valentini (spelled incorrectly, I’m sure) fill the screen with new creations they prefer to write for and throw certain characters the occasional bone by featuring them with a newbie. I have no doubt this pair cares for the soap they run, but we could do with a little less Sabrina, a little less relish, a little less former OLTL actors and a lot more Anna, (I NEVER thought I would be saying this) Sonny, and, though it’s too late and who can blame him for leaving, Johnny.
I agree with this. Duke & Anna haven’t even had time to develop at all because they’ve been tossed aside with a romantic moment here & there; not even enough to get into their storyline. I do like Nicholas/AJ/Elizabeth but not the pickle story at all . Any chemistry that Patrick & Sabrina had has suddenly vanished once they “got together” are they really technically together? Doesn’t even seem like it.. I actually miss Sonny too! 🙂
No offense to OLTL fans, but I would be perfectly happy if none of those characters came back, haven’t missed them at all. GH has plenty of characters, too many in fact, with tons of story lines going on. It’s one of the reasons Lulu (Julie Marie Berman) left! It’s going to be really hard to see them and to see them as entirely different people.
I wished they hadn’t gone back too – I’d much rather them be back on OLTL where they belong. Don’t watch GH anyhow – it’s boring and they destroyed the OLTL characters & their history!
Especially agree with they destroyed OLTL characters and stories!
I haven’t seen today’s epi yet… but had to read further and watch the clip! I am loving it!!!
I can’t wait to see who RH is!!! LOVE GH!!!
Love it as well. Can’t wait to see how these three new characters interact with the town of Port Charles
Beyond over it. Could care less anymore. Llanview and Pine Valley are back. GH is back to grocery line time waster in a rag mag for me. ABC used these three actors as bait to calm the angered masses and get them over to Port Chuck – I didn’t fall for it. I watched the 50th anniversary and that was all – Starr, Todd and John BELONG in Llanview, regardless of who is playing them. They had no business killing off Cole and Hope – ABC sucks as far as I am concerned.
Gotta agree but what can you do?
Do Not Watch OLTL if you don’t like what they did.
I don’t want to do anything but enjoy OLTL & AMC and not watch scummy ABC.
DITTO!!!!!!
Agreed Karen!
I’m over it.
I am so over it, at this point I don’t even care anymore
People trashing this when none of the characters have spoken a word is laughable. Unless you can’t stretch your imagination at all, in which case, how the heck are you a soap fan?
The show has probably had to make several last minute changes when the characters were yanked due to the legal issues, so we got 10x more relish and Britt BS then we probably would have. Now things are going to get back on track and I can’t wait! I’m excited to see how these talented actors will take on this challenge (change of character in a short period). I’m going along for the ride!
Sorry, but the actors who were got in the middle of the ridiculousness of PP and ABC power struggle are the losers here. ABC should give them a release from their contracts so they can go back to OLTL since they can not be the characters we loved on GH. ABC you are truly a crappy network who knows you screwed up by cancelling two great shows in the first !
co-signed
You decide to throw in the towel after about 30 seconds of airtime with the actors saying anything? Really?
I am sorry but i do not like them as new people. i have watched them for years and it is not the same.
Don’t care never cared for ME on any show and I am getting RH at the top of his game on OL why would I a subpar performance on GH.
Okay, this looks weird.
Love. love love it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not a GH viewer, but at least Roger Howarth will no longer have to wear the face scar on GH. He can save it for his OLTL appearances!
Oh you mean the article from SON that could not be corroborated and that is why it was only on SON?? LAUGHABLE! He is not doing both shows!
Howarth is in the opening credits of OLTL.. he’s made some kind of commitment to OLTL past a few weeks. PP doesn’t exactly have the money to re-shoot the opening every few months to account for RH’s absence.
I am like in 7th Heaven!! These shows have me mesmerized and thirsting for more!!!
Pour it on us Frank and Ron. Thank you a million times we love you!!!!!!!
I am looking forward to seeing it all unfold. Kristen A. has been wonderful as Starr, and I miss that character a lot, but she will now get the chance to stretch her wings a bit, and play someone edgier. That’s a good thing for her. As for Roger H. well, he has always been great no matter what the role is. He acts every single second of his characters and I find that really impressive! I think Michael E. will continue an already rich storyline, and the chemistry between he and Kelly Monaco is so much fun! But I do agree with a previous commenter… I wish ABC and Prospect Park would play nice, and not put the fans in the middle. I watch General Hospital because I stand by the actors… all the actors… but ABC Daytime continues to let us down with the shenanigans. General Hospital is the only ABC daytime show I watch!
Didn’t watch GH today because of the Chew. I wish the actors the best but I’m over it. Frank and Ron should be ashamed of themselves promoting The Chew. That did it for me and GH. Thank God OLTL is back!
I don’t think Frank and Ron had a say in that.
Nancy, I thought it was a big slap in the face to OLTL & AMC fans to be on The Chew just another tasteless move on ABC/D ‘ s part!!
To say I couldn’t care less is an understatement of mammoth proportions. I am so over ABC, including GH….
I could not agree more. Evertything is a mess.
I totally agree CJ! I love the new OLTL tho!
I hate this. it makes no sence. its almost as bad as the vampire storie line. They could have just changed names, Rob Tanning, etc. Putting the actors in the mix after they were already characters is dumb. Just like the old carly, all of a sudden becoming a new character. and the new AJ who was once the old Jason. its confusing .
Actually they couldn’t just change their names. Legally, they cannot resemble their former characters in any way. And this AJ was not ever the old Jason – you are confused.
Sorry I missed it. I refuse to watch until the Chew segments are done.
Well they lied about Kirsten Alderson she is definitely Lauren and I love the new hair color. John has to fix his hair. I’ll have to get used to the new blonde hair on Todd.
So I guess KA as Lauren hooks up now with Morgan now cuz, Lauren and Michael are cousins right?
That’s what I am trying to figure out, how and if they are going to try and get her and Michael together, or just keep her with Morgan?
wow people say they are over it and in next breath say they will go back to watch OLTl, sorry but Prospect Park caused this problem with the “loaning” of the characters and without stipulating how they can used them caused the problem, people need to stop blaming ABC/Disney for everything, if you think they are the devil and PP is the saviour you are quite naive, ive seen the other online shows and they do NOT compare at all to a show on televison, im glad the three former OLTl crew is back cannot wait to see what happens next, as for all the negativity about GH people need to give it a chance, but it seems its those same folks who are still bitching about the 2 shows back online, seems you cannot please people at all!!!
Actually, PP DID stipulate they were to be consulted on story line and how the characters can be used….which abc/d ignored.
PP are not without flaws in this mess, correct; but I would trust them over abc/d at this point.
I don’t know your standards – but the reboots I have seen online ARE FANTASTIC and do look like some prime time shows.
I still love GH and will support it always. That support extends to OLTL and AMC and all the actors/crew involved. I will support PP because they actually listened to the fans and were able to do what abc/d said they could not. I will only watch GH on abc/d because they lied to and manipulated their own employees and tried to do the same to the fans.
Those 2 shows may be back on line but they are not the same 2 shows. I watched first week and will never watch again. Both AMC and OLTL have been runined and now same is happening on GH.
I LOVE the new OLTL! It’s just like the golden days with an edge!!!
I´m so excited about having them back. After the 50th anniversary the story telling got kind of lame .
Too much relish, too much Sabrina/Felix plotting, who both became the drama queens of the show.
I really look forward to the new story lines Ron has in store for us. I´m sure Ron will kick major ass and
we´re gonna be surprised over and over again.
I don’t like them in the characters they are coming out on they need to be back to star Todd and Michael McBain I do not like what gh is done to them it stinksjust one more reason for me to stop watching General Hospital
Tina I’ve already stopped. It’s a mess! I love the new OLTL tho!
Tina and JJ You two haven’t even given them a chance yet, what were you expecting? I think the show has been GREAT, but to each their own, I just think as a viewer, you have’nt even seen them perform or interact really, so you are prejudging what might be great storylines, give it time. I for one and quite a few people I know are EXCITED!
So does Roger not have the scar anymore?
It’s sad they had to change characters–the whole ABC/PP character debacle is a shame.
Just finished yesterday’s episode and loved the surprises!!! I am hoping that RH is not Robert Frank “Franco” and that he is a Q… but it is looking like he might be Franco. He is looking great!!! ME doesn’t look so great… but I like that he appears to be a doctor! KA looks better as a blonde but understand they had to do something with her hair to not have her look like Starr. The other big surprise was the gray haired goon going after Connie and Olivia… no spoliers there! Maurice must be happy that he is getting some mob action again. Of course… I would love Brit to live anywhere else but with Patrick. Sabrina should move in too!!!
I love it and hate it!! I love it because I just love GH no matter what! and I hate it because I want to know who they are now!! I’m impatient, lol I just really hope that Kristen is not Lauren Frank her & Chad are too cute together….. but I’m wondering if Rodger is a Jerome and maybe Kristen is his daughter, and Ava Jerome is her Aunt…. that would be interesting…
Theresa… that’s an interesting idea about RH being a Jerome! Not sure he would be at The Chew if he was? If he were a Jerome hew would be fascinating playing against Maurice/Sonny… and the relationship between RH and Laura (if she would be lucky to play with him) and Maurice would be stellar! I was hoping RH would be a Q and be just a bit bad like Q’s are but basically good and he would end up with Carly.
I thought about that too why would he be at the Chew but then I remembered that Tracy had ties to the mob, …. I did read one rumor that said he was going to be Alexander Quartermaine maybe that will end up being true, although, I don’t care who he plays as long as they pair him with Carly(Laura), love them together! 🙂
i heard that RH is the real Franco hence he is Jason’s twin and lauren franks father.. So we will get two new Quatermaine and RH and Ka will still be playing father and daughter.
I really hope that’s not true….I don’t want him to be Franco…. anyone but Franco…..
Frankly my dear I don’t give a d***m. Powers that be have ruined both OLTL and GH by reinventing characters. Have stopped watching OLTL on line and may soon give up on GH as well.
All your posts are complaints and whining and more complaints and still more complaints..
Do not watch .. tune out .. get a hobby.. do not watch, perhaps then you will find happiness .. why make yourself miserable watching something you hate and that upsets you..
Another poster said it first and most likely true…when the legal teams got involved and three characters were not allowed to be used on GH any longer – story lines most likely had to be rewritten and tweaked. I hadn’t thought about that, but that is probably why we have more of the relish, NuLulu and Patrina stories. I will give them the time they need to introduce these new characters and see what these actors can do with them. Happy for the actors. They got the shaft in this whole debacle just like us fans.
I’m very interested to see how the new characters play out. Roger Howarth, Michael Easton and Kristen Alderson are all talented actors, so they will make it work.
It’s not surprising to me that there are people complaining already. There are some people that are never happy, and just live to complain. How about actually giving the new characters a chance before you pass judgment? Just a thought.
Dan;
Thank You, so much for saying that, I whole heartedly agree with you.
I do not want Kristen to be Lauren Frank – for 2 reasons – I think Ellie should be Lauren – just adds more surprise. Second Michael would not be able to have a relationship with her becuase they would both be Quartermaines – no kissing cousins please.
I agree they can make her anybody but Lauren Frank!
I think she will be Lauren Frank, but, Michael will turn out to be really Sonny’s bio-son and that’s how they will get them together.
again trusting a company that is still new and does NOT have the money Disney does is foolish, PP will lose the court battle and the price will be the 2 shows budgets, I just find it ironic how most are so quick to jumping top the defence of PP and say Disney/ABC should not be trust nor should we watch any shows dusing the day except GH, I for one love The chew, sorry but AMC and OLTL are back the anger so many people still have is pathetic again get over it more then one show has been cancelled this weekend, its the way it is if they do not have an audience they will be cancelled its business!!
The point is that GH/ABC had no right to those characters. They would not have hired Kristen, Michael, or Roger to star on GH if PP wasn’t kind enough to let them “use” their characters. It’s just plain wrong and GH/ABC should give PP whatever they want. GH/ABC is in the wrong and I’m thrilled to have stopped watching the mess they’re making!
