Yes

su0000, don’t you think the purpose of giving Anna the disease is to find out that Finn is really her son? They actors have great chemistry and they resemble each other. Would make a nice story–and so good to have Robin back. Maybe Kimbo is taking a break from other projects while she awaits the birth of her baby–and could thus find the time to come do some work on GH. Good on her! PS I think Julian is a goner–and will be “offed” soon. What say you?

Love Faison. Bring him back. Maybe he has the secret to what ails Anna. Can you imagine?

Faison! He was one creepy dude. I think Valentin still has feelings for Anna; that was obvious in his reaction when she passed out. Could be that he turns out to find a doctor who knows more about Anna’s disease and can help her. Or maybe Robin will team up with Finn to come up with a cure.

I do think Alexis will read Julian’s letter and go to him. Deep down I like the guy and I like them together.

Hey, You could be right!

Could be, Jimmy. Anna is the right age. But, Valentin is too young. And, if you remember, we did discuss thst possibility way before Valentin was in the picture. We discussed that Griffin could be Anna’s or the son of one of her sisters.
This is what annoys me about this age stuff. How could Anna and Valentin have known each other at that time? He was still in diapers, never mind working for the WSB .

PS.
Remember Dr. David Hayward? I think he was married to Anna. He was also involved with Erica. Griffin could be his and Anna’s.
Perhaps, he did to her what some doctor did to Erica Kane when she went into a clinic for an abortion ( at least that’s what was said a couple of years before AMC went off the air). That is, took the fetus and implanted it into another woman’s uterus.
The baby ( Josh Madden) was Erica’s and Jeff’s.

I too was as livid as Anna and Griff that the hated Valentin had the nerve to sit at her bedside.

Loved the Anna scenes but would also love to see Bobbie or Felicia visit her soon!

The Qs together as a family in one room saving the hospital was amazing to see. I never thought I would see a scene like that again. All thanks to Jelly, I’m sure, not FV or the execs running the show.

LOL, Steve. It is hard to get over certain ‘crimes’ ; but everyone else is a murderer and gets away with it…why not him?
Perhaps, it was a temporary case of insanity? DOUBLE LOL.
However, there is still the possibility that he is wearing one of Faison’s masks. Could he be Stavros?
I’m sure TPTB will come out with something as ridiculous as the Fluke storyline….or not!
Nonetheless, I like the story; especially with a sprinkle of Lady Anna—-very interesting!!

I was joking when i originally made my comment but now i do think that Anna and Valentin will turn out to really be Griffen’s parents and Duke isn’t his father!!!!

Hey Shay, I too have my list of characters I wouldn’t mind getting that one way ticket out of PC. I suspect we probably have some of the same people in mind, lol. But I wouldn’t worry about Anna, she’s not going anywhere. Not to mention, Finola is always excellent in whatever they hand her, and I’m sure this will be no different.

Well, Shay, I’m glad we’re on the same page….as yourself, I am as confused as ever with a few storylines. And, yes, I have noticed that the GH ‘establishment’ does have the tendency to write the character as it goes along–carte blanche?? LOL. Thank you for seeing the Anna/Valentin timeline as I do. Where exactly does he fit into her past? He was supposedly a brainiac? Okay, but unless Valentin was working for the WSB when he was a mere tween, the timeline does not fit. Why? Because no way would someone that young would have gone through the rudiments… Read more »

I agree! Finola will deliver great on this storyline. No, she’s not going to die. But it gives her character something to do other than ‘solving crime’. (Jeez, half the cast causes crime, hay the cast solves it. A medical stories on on general HOSPITAL is a welcome change.)

Having Griffin be the child Anna and Duke lost would nearly be as bad Erica Kane’s unabortion. One would think these writers know that is viewed as one of the worst soap plot lines of all time.

I actually read that he will be coming over as David Hayward. Not sure if it’s a rumor or an actual happening…but it does seem like now that the characters are back in ABCs house they’re going to use them when appropriate and weave them into GH story.

I agree, Magneto. The crossover has always been a staple between GH and AMC, albeit I did not watch GH…..I did watch AMC. So, I was very familiar with Finola Hughes as Anna/Alex.

Maybe but I was thinking Griffin might be Duke and Olivia Jerome’s son

That’s some good writing *applause*

Aria…I’m with you on this. While not the gravity of cancer except for those characters in hospital, there’s been Hayden, the ongoing Finn, recently Tracey, Julian, Franco, Alexis, and least we forget, Jess at Y&R right now. If Anna is going to be Ill, and/or finding her repressed memory, let this part be short lived. More intererested in solving the long lost, hidden Valantin mystery. Not too surprising that way back when a lot of things happened with WSB, Cassadines, etc that can make for a good story. And who knows where it will lead with current characters like Griffin.

She is in a spy thriller/action story…even in the midst of her mysterious illness. It’ll involve Valentin (and Robin, Griffin, David if he comes over) and it’ll take on some WSB story.

spot on about wanting to see ANNA in a spy/thriller action story. She is a spy and sto T you for her should be written with that in mind .

i once mentioned an Olivis/Alex connection. in previous comments..and with the renewed OLTL visits im sure now Olivia/Alex are the same person!

I agree 100%. Love seeing positive comments instead of “If this happens or that happens I’ll quit watching!” LOL.
Not talking about a certain person or even just this website, I just get tired of those.

Exactly Rebecca, I couldn’t agree more! I usually find myself on the same page as you with the vast majority of the comments you post. I read some of the other comments about GH here and on other sites, I wonder if I’m watching a different show. It’s nice to see some good thoughts about GH. Finola Hughes is excellent in whatever they give her, and she will no doubt knock this one out of the park, as she always does.

Hey Alan, do you ever have anything nice to say?

Amen to all you’ve said, Alan!….The fact that characters are constantly introduced willy-nilly, then linger on the canvas for sometimes years without any meaningful, definitive identity or purpose is a real soap no-no. It’s become such a common practice on GH that I’ve nearly tuned-out altogether due to complete frustration with those who think this is an acceptable way to run a show.

First…we don’t need an in-depth cancer story. They already stated that if she has cancer it’s a “rare” one. I don’t necessarily think this is going to be a story ABOUT her illness as much as it will be about Valentin, Robin, her ex-husband David (if he makes an appearance)…perhaps her relationship to Griffin…probably highlighting Finn’s drug abuse as he’ll probably do something wrong when diagnosing and/or treating Anna due to his addiction, etc. I think it’s a jumping off point to encompass a larger story. That’s not to negate or downplay the seriousness of disease. I don’t think any… Read more »

Lets all be honest here folks the only reason they created Griffith was so GH could have a hunky doctor to replace Dr. Patrick Drake. They didn’t care who the character would be, all they wanted was a nice body who would look good shirtless in the doctor’s change room. Mission accomplished.

Yeah, JELLY really laid an egg over at Y&R. Michael and Nikki NEVER mention their remission?

I think they shifted gears on Valentin’s evilness. Thats okay, to me, Starvos is the worst Cassadine! I would love to see those two and Nick and Stephan all square off. Not enough money, though.

The Finn story has been going on FinnEVER!

Morgan sucked when he was alive and he is sucking the air out of the show!

Lill Nelle!

Oh thank you for that Anna-David history lesson, Amber. Well done.

i don’t like david for Anna, he’s so arrogant, a lot like julian, they come across like weasels. theres nothing heroic or romantic or sexy bout him in my opinion, obviously some seem to like him, but i still vote no for him on GH…

That was helpful. Maybe a triangle between Anna, David and Valentin.

Love your positive outlook, Margie. Are we sure Anna has cancer? Regardless, she will come out of it with flying colors…Has to!! Finn should take care of himself first. As the intro intimates, his condition could be a detriment for Anna. But, you know; a thought just came to me, as I read your post, Margie. The story would be so much more compelling if….as Finn and company discover some cure by chance, the plotline could be presented so that the miraculous drug for Anna will coincidentally cure Finn, as well? Perhaps, Anna’s ‘cancer’ and subsequent cure storyline was introduced… Read more »

I want Anna to get her memory back and I want Valentin to go away also stop already Lulu deserves her child why keep stealing her embryos

But Rodd, Jill doesn’t have cancer, she has heart disease.

True, Timmmy. But, after what is going on between Jill and Colin, Tristan may very well leave GC for a bit and Robert will run to Anna’s bedside. Voila’!! Mission accomplished.

I sort of suggested that, above, Ally. Not specifically, but I did question if we are sure Anna has cancer?
Finola has always been very thin. But, you’re right….she looks thinner than ever; as does Kristen Storms.

Hi, Ally,
No worries….we all make the same mistake. And, you phrase it perfectly; “when does one start and the other one end”, is right.
It is a very good thing what Finola (and the writers) is doing; as is Jess (Y&R). Bringing awareness of health issues to the fore is admirable; especially in today’s world where we are always in a hurry and forget to keep our health in ‘check’.
I do hope ‘the long theme’ will give a strong enough message which will impact all of us in a positive way.
Stay well.

I’ve always found it to quite dissapointing that the Robert Anna “dead” era has never been fully explored on gh. There is a wealth of story mined from the missing years. They don’t seem to consider Robert worth bringing back to the show long enough to explore his legacy. Holly came back from the dead just as Robert perished on the boat. .. That was sad
