KNOCK IT OFF SU0000…FOR REAL. .that’s past annoying. .move on from daytime honey.

Something tells me you are up in age and for whatever odd reason you’re posting like an adult trying to be a twenty something? ? It’s lost its luster dear.

I don’t think the issue here is age but rather is the material they would be given worthy of their talents. Based on what GH has been serving up since Ron left, I would say the answer is no.

Hi Alan ..
exactly right..
Fact is; they are 70ish and that is into retirement age to go back into the highly demanding filming day..
Fact is; what on earth would they do on GH, what role could they possibly play of any significance .
Only one on GH is of that age and seems to be smi-retired and that is Tracy..

((it took less than 30 seconds to google them, they could have been of any age, dunno.
A actors day of filming is very hard/demanding, is fact.
perhaps they would have no desire to even return to the soaps.

su0000, tune into the Disney Channel!

Oh, c’mon, SuzieQ….John Aniston is in his 80’s….and Victor is appraching 80 and still kicking!!
I love everyone from OLTL and I welcome each one, if he/she chose to make an appearance….that includes AMC, albeit I did not like a few characters/actors.

Su…You need a tad of help in your fact-checking skills. If you indeed looked up Hillary B. Smith you would see she is 58 years old…in the same age range as Finola Huges and Nancy Grahn. Now, I only say this to put you in your place as you bragged that it only took you “30 seconds to google them…”

From your posts here you’ve stated you detest Trump. Why? He seems to be everything you are…judgmental, bigoted. Yet, I know why. Because he’s bigoted against you. You’re not in his demographic. You’ve stated you’re of an Indian background. So, I’m assuming you resent his views and see him as racist.

However, you don’t see anything wrong in constantly, and I mean ad nauseum, commenting on age. Who decided at what age people should dress a certain way, act a certain way, continue to work, stop working, be productive, have sex, romance, love…basically a life!!!! Your comment reek of naivete and ignorance. News flash!!!!! People live…until they die. People continue on in their pursuits, their passions, as long as they are able. Unfortunately, illness and death can strike at any age. Until that time in ANYONE’s life…people of all ages live life to the fullest.

What on this earth gives you the right, or the ridiculous opionion, that people should stop their passions, their artistry…their ANYTHING. Who said so? People younger than them…who will BE them one day???

Some of our finest actors in film and television are well into their fifties, sixties and beyond. They were talented when they were younger…and gasp!!!! They’re STILL talented!!!!

I’ve said this to you before. And, this is your right. If you want to view “young” programming…watch it. Seek out TV that only features a younger age group, is written by a younger age group and is geared for a younger age group. Same with film. And, only listen to young musicians, go to a museum that shows young artists’ work…etc. etc.

You KNOW your comments are offensive. Myself, Harry, Alan, davlestev1 and others have repeatedly told you and yet you enjoy posting the same crap over and over. Go away. Seriously. Or grow up.

And, by the way, if you’re going to be offended by racism…you might try understanding that ageism is just as offensive. And ignorant.

Yay to Hillary B. Smith’s arrival. Loved her on OLTL and I’m sure she’ll be a welcome addition to GH for however long she’s appearing.

Oh. By the way, Su? Do you have a cutoff? Ron’s “young”…according to you. Did you know he’s almost 50? And I’m not interested in your answer…

Good GRIEF what is your problem exactly? Age is just a number. Some people are raring to go at 70 – and put 40 year olds to shame sometimes!
I don’t watch General Hospital, but if they start recruiting characters from AMC and OLTL I may just have to tune in. Almost anything is better than the one soap I do follow, Days of Our Lives which is currently beyond boring.
I don’t think we can truly hope for a revival of One Life or AMC but we can always dream – you never know –

WHA-A-T? Bite your tongue once again, suOOOO! Now, let’s see–how old are Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda? And did you hear about their series? And didn’t Lily just win a very important SAG award?
Nora? She is pure gold! And if Nora comes, can Bo be far behind—PLEASE? Love them!

Hi, su,
I think I underdtand what you are trying to say. I, also, see that you do not mean to insult; so, some people need to ease up on you.
Sometimes our wording makes us step in caca, but, with good intention.

I get it, as I said as much of Lucci. There are certain roles that the ‘older’ cast is more equipped to handle; whether that be experience or otherwise.
Can we picture Susan Lucci acting as Nina? I certainly can’t….as I was trying to say to Shay. No, this would not be her role. So, I think the door should be open to every actor/actress with the right role….and, yes, according to age.
Furthermore, I do agree that there are roles specifically fot the older cast. Regardless of the fact that people get so bent out of shape when they discuss age. But, it is what it is. You are expressing an opinion. Your right.
As my grandmother says, age is a badge of honor and she wears each line and wrinkle with pride. It is a statemrnt of strength and perseverence.
I know you had no malicious intent, but some just live taking it too far, and take some of us to task. You are being you, my friend.
As for myself, I cannot stress enough how happy it makes me to see anyone from OLTL and AMC….young, old or in-between. And, as many have stated, I wish Bo would come with Nora.
I miss those people with all my heart.
Later, su. Sorry you have been castigated. No worries.

I need to correct myself…I see you were referring to the actors that play Vicky and Bo…not Hillary/Nora. So…my entire message still stands. Fifties, sixties, seventies and beyond…people in real life and on TV are all ages. Stop bringing up the subject. For a “young” person you’re awfully redundant.

Oh, Wow, s. I looks like we have rehearsed our comments…. we’re hundreds of miles apart!!!! LOL. some words are verbatim. Will you look at that? Go figure. You a leftist, moi an Independent. HaHa.
I take it you never watched OLTL? I also take it you do not welcome GH vets coming back? I’m new t

Sorry, su..pressed “submit”by accident, prematurely.
…I’m new to GH, but I like seeing Lucy, Felicia, Mac etc….I don’t even know them, but I appreciate them.
Anyway, remember once you told me to ignore vitriolic voices? You stuck up for me as I have for you, on many occasions.
I think some people are so full of themselves; to the point of being entitled of putting others down as if they walk on higher, holier ground.
I have been criminalized for supporting Trump. Do I care? It’s a free country. Better to be ruled by a tough president then be Iran’s puppet, who has now the power to annihilate us.
You can see that it’s basically one squawking chicken who cluck-clucks with frustration.

So, su, albeit you’re “with her”, i hold no malice toward you. I care not , I still like you.
We differ in how we perceive soaps. I am very “old fashioned” in my taste of movies, TV shows, and I love the 60’s, 70’s and 80’s music. I am a rocker at heart, albeit I wasn’t even born during this era. I suppose, it’s because I grew up watching soaps and exposed to this music bedore I could talk. Thanks to my grandmother…..she took care of us, as my mother was in law school.
I looooove soap vets.
When I heard Hillary B. Smith was making an appearsnce on GH, my heart sang. I can only hope more will be coming.
Again, I want to stress that I do see your side, albeit, as someone said, age is a state of mind…..but, within limits. Age-appropriate needs to be heeded. My opinion. If someone wants to attack me? Go ahead. I will still go to bed and wake up in the morning and go on with my life as usual, without a hitch.
Aren’t you sick and tired of being brow-beaten for speaking your mind? But, those vociferous’entities’; the most knowledgeable, perfect know-it-alls, have no qualms insulting others.

Should read like this:
There is no age appropriate once someone becomes an adult. There’s age appropriate for a child because they’re young and need to be protected and guided. As an adult…as long as one’s actions doesn’t hurt someone else…people need to live their life the way they want…not how “society” decrees they should.

Older actors? They don’t need an age appropriate role. /Whether they are portrayed as business owners, newlyweds, starting a new career, perhaps falling in love for the first time and feeling giddy over it…it’s ALL open. It’s the human experience and there’s no timeline other that that marked by biology (a woman’s ability to bear a child). Other than that…the choices and lifestyles are wide open. There are no “rules” other than man-made judgements.

Religious? “Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you.” Now, maybe that is fine by you because you’re of the mindset that you would NEVER act or dress or pursue any of the things older characters on your shows do. Perhaps you’re right. Perhaps YOU wouldn’t. But there are people in REAL life, who DO live those things…and ARE that age. Experience is a great teacher. And to quote another…à chacun ses goûts …to each his own.

@Addison…Kudos for your common sense reply! The fact that you were an avid viewer of the defunct OLTL makes your opinion particularly valued and appreciated because it indicates an impartial analysis of the very issue which you’ve so aptly addressed. In other words, you have not allowed your passion for the late Llanview and its residents to cloud your judgment or sense of fairness in recognizing the truly deleterious effect the obsessive effort to resurrect OLTL on the GH canvas has created upon the latter, and I thank you for that. As a previously longtime GH viewer, I cannot help but deeply resent the use of my formerly beloved soap for that purpose, as well as a convenient dumping ground for the casting wish-fulfillment list of regulars from the last two ABC daytime dramas to be cancelled, not to mention a few other notable, high-profile interloping arrivals from competing daytime shows. These seriously intrusive practices have gotten way out-of-hand and ruined the basic flavor and heritage of the original GH to such an extent that I can no longer bear to watch the unrecognizable mess of a mélange it has become. The very heart and soul of the Port Charles we once knew and loved has continued to be diminished and destroyed with the additions of insipid, unrelated newbies and a succession of big soapster-gets that the current showrunner so obviously relishes whilst he consistently chips away at the rich legacy of GH in a clearly nonchalant, yet, quite frankly, often gleeful manner. As is the case with most of us here at MFSoaps, I’ve had many of my cherished programs go to “Soap Opera Heaven”…and, of course, I fondly remember and miss their stars as much, or possibly even more so, than those who endlessly drone on about their characters/actors from OLTL/AMC, but that doesn’t mean that I expect Port Charles to play host to them, despite my own personal druthers…There are realistic parameters for whom and what works in the scheme of any show’s playbook and those considerations must be paramount, regardless of my nostalgia for soap operas past. It’s just too bad that numerous fellow posters cannot demonstrate that same perspective when it comes to their nearly-constant clamoring for the return of certain characters from soap cities which no longer exist. At some point, people simply need to face the notion that most of those now-gone individuals they hold dear shall never be making a comeback to Port Charles….or anywhere else—and then move on accordingly!!!

Hey Addie… 🙂

I disagree. Love ya…but disagree. We’re in a new soap age. Perhaps OLTL will come back; probably not. But dealing with the here and now…I, personally, would love to see, and welcome, many characters from OLTL. Why? Because, at its most obvious…it’s a fictional world. And in fictional worlds, anything and everything is possible. Instead of losing characters to the nebulous glow of days gone by…this is an opportunity to bring people back to life…and back into our lives.

This doesn’t negate the fact that I’d love to see more GH characters. I’ve stated that many times. I miss Mac. I’d love more Scott. Laura and Kevin should be featured more. Let’s get another story for Tracy. KEEP NED!!!

But…just as in real life…people come and go. So, in this fictional world…I’d love to see Nora come by. Vicki, Bo, Clint. It only opens the world for me, not closes it. If the show evolves…so be it. It just enriches the world and takes it a bit further out of its microcosm…allows “neighbors” to frequent Port Charles…I think it’s a great idea! Daytime soaps are a dying breed. We know that. So if keeping characters alive, while maintaining the “flavor” of GH can somehow be accomplished, I’m all for it.

Unfortunately, and I’ve said this before too, many of our memories of GH were of it’s way former years. There’ll never be an Audrey, Steve, young Luke n Laura, Scorpio, Sean, Tiffany…etc, etc, etc. They’re gone. Even the few who remain…the characters, the time, the stories…they’ll never be the same. And, after decades, how could they? Our own lives change…

So. Be happy we get to see “old friends.” We need them now more than ever. 🙂

@Shay.
Hey, Shay,
Your writing blows me away. So simply put, yet so eloquent. I see the light….well, except for the word ” impartiality”. It depends on one’s individual perception, mon amie!! I do believe that sometimes this misconstrued word is only used when convenient to some.
And, said people should follow their own advise, as they do decry others’ individual thoughts. I do not bend to others’ will, lectures or aggression. Who died and made them omnipotent?
Speaking of”Soap Opera Heaven”…. tell me about it. I want ANOTHER WORLD to come back. I miss those characters/actors/actresses, as well. But, as you say….pipe dreams. I suppose the soaps are part of us….the characters become family, and it’s hard to let go.
Between you and Alan….well, both your writing is an inspiration.

But you did, Blanche you did!
(make ageist statements time and time again).

Love Baby Jane Hudson

Addison…thank you for your comment further down the scroll. As Arnold might say, “I’ll be back.” Can’t let them take over MF, too.

Sorry, you you seem to be overly sensitive about age.
but it is fact, they are 70ish (i did not say anything other than that.
Lighten up, lol .. geez it is what it is, they are 70 and I was wondering where on earth they could possibly fit into GH that would be a role of any significance and that is also a fact..
Every Time a person’s age is mention some find need to freak out over the facts that they are 70.. even Tracy (whom I love) gets little air time seems she is smi-retired.
you find age to big a big deal I don’t.. it is what it is.
Now, be nice .. its nothing personal.

Suoo, let’s talk about something less controversial and which might unify you, Rebecca and myself. Let’s talk about Donald Trump!

Kidding, of course!

ahha Addison ..
there is not enough bandwidth for my comments of Trump ..
Actually, I was not for Trump or Hillary.
I didn’t like either of them, well Bernie is cool.
My Trump comments are not of the presidency but about the man-child 😉

Anyways.. The Republicans will impeach Trump as soon as they get their Supreme Court Justice and everything else and then after they will, without a doubt, take their coveted party back ((wait for it))
I just have fun watching the show play out and it has just begun LOL ..

Hey Addison .. I’ll bet you that Ivana nevers moves into the white house ((she won’t leave her golden tower..

Now back to our soaps …

Su…it’s not about being “overly sensitive” about age. It’s about you bringing up age on almost every response you give..whether it be about the writers or the actors. All age/all the time.

As for your friend saying you’ve said nothing insulting…it IS insulting when you talk about people so old “they’re ready for diapers” and are so old “they’re taking the soaps to the grave with them…”

You may not mean to be offensive, but many have told you those comments are. And yet…you still make them. Over and over. Something perhaps to think about…

I have no reason to dislike you or say combative things. But we are regulars on this site and there does come a point when one needs to stand up for what they believe in…what offends them…be it racism, anti-semitism, ageism. When it’s pointed out that comments are offensive, we, as fellow posters, should perhaps reflect on what we’re saying that is creating such a reaction.

Politics? That’s a different issue. That’s a worldwide debate that isn’t “personal”…but a reality that effects every inch of our lives. Different story and because of that there’s every reason TO express our dissent.

Suoo, I like you–I really do.
As a long distance cross country runner, I look at age as I look at hills. I tell myself that hills are my friend and I chug up that hill. I look at time as my friend, and I chug up that hill of time. This gives a whole new positivity to the phrase, over the hill. Maybe it’s a good thing to be over the hill because you’ve earned that right to run downward.
PS. I still have a Bernie bumpersticker on my car.

hi rebecca1..
as I said .. sensitive about age mentions going on lol ..

The only time I have mentioned age is my opinion of the age of the writers, I want young writes. And I will never change my mind about that ..All others I do not care one way or the other.

It is the above that’s upset about about an age mention, nothing to do with me that a mention of their age, just a fact… I did not make any personal comments of them, none because I do not care, just a mention their age..geez lol
.. nothing personal.. I do not care about the age of any of the posters none of my business and I have no interest to know..
big {{{{ hug }}}}}

Hey Addison!
good ol’ Bernie!!
Run that bumper sticker proudly!
Bernie is da`man ..
When he’s a guest on whichever news I never miss him..

((I could have used his free collage, I’m still paying 🙁 ..

Suuuuuuuuuuu!!!! LOL! Yes, you did make ageist comments. Many times…and you did say something about wearing diapers and going to the grave. Own the comments!!!!

With that said, you can be so darn pleasant that it’s difficult to stay angry with you. So… hug…there. I said it!

sigh. 🙂

You are never getting Natalie and John again.

Frank has zero interest in Archer. Thank god.

Easton doesn’t wanna play John anymore. Read his interview with Logan.

Jolie will only exist in your fan fic. This is GH, not OLTL.

Howarth, Easton, Alderson, Kassie, Flo, and Hillary are Frank’s pets.

Archer is never coming to GH. Natalie was a terrible character. Fake Buchanan.

Long live Hayden and Finn. Natalie doesn’t exist.

We only HOPE we NEVER get MA on GH! John and Natalie were beyond boring — they made absolutely ZERO sense. I have nothing against Melissa, but John and Natalie were beyond dumb! Now, if you want to start talking about John and Evangeline — well, I’m totally here for that! Michael and Renee Elise Goldsberry had ALL of the chemistry in the world!

I do like Hayden and Finn! Rebecca and Michael have nice chemistry. I’d love for Renee to be Finn’s long lost wife who’s most definitely alive! And, overall, I’d love to see more OLTL/AMC vets on GH because, let’s be honest, GH has absolutely NO IDENTITY at this point. There’s no main family, no main business focus, just a bunch of stories going on without any destination in sight. AMC & OLTL always had main families in focus, and there was always a prominent family business in the main storylines.

I agree with Trophy Lady and Addison. I loved Evangeline and John…much more than I ever liked John and Natalie. LOL…I actually liked everyone better with John (Blair, Kelly) than Natalie.

Oh yes completely agree. Melissa Archer and Michael Easton were phenomenal together. Exceptional chemistry. To each his own, this fan misses them immensely!

I do agree with Trophy Lady–John and Evangeline were HOT< HOT< HOT!!! I have nothing against Archer, but she always seemed to be posing thusforth, putting the Arch into Archer.

.Ha ha yes. Melissa is well endowed . I like the posters above was and am a Jolie fan.

Excited about Nora Buchanan. Excellent actress. Yes Bring on Bo. The PCPD is a joke!
Would love him as commissioner. And God yes bring Melissa Archer and Erika Slezak on as well. Yes loved Michael and Melissa and Viki also.

Love Archer and Easton. They were hot and I would welcome them with open arms. They are incredibly miss d by many fans.

I am one of those fans. Enjoyed Michael Easton and Melissa Archer on OLTL. The plan was to bring her on before the PP debacle. Love that redhead and would love to see her grace my screen again.

Oh hell yes. Bring Melissa on!

Clint and Tracy would make a great couple.

Hillary and Nancy Lee Grahn would be fun to watch.

Rebecca…I love Nora as well. Would be fun to bring Bo back and do a little two-step. Just to let you know I’ve been mostly quiet lately. May do what Harry did for the same reasons. Best to you.

Hi Rose! Was wondering where you’ve been…

Yes, great news about Nora! I’m hoping they bring over more characters…if even for occasional visits. I think the possibilities are endless now that they got the rights back.

And, sigh…I understand about you dropping out of sight, so to speak. It gets worse and worse. I could never have imagined this scenario…and, to be redundant…it’s beyond surreal.

Hope to see you back on a more regular basis soon. Til then… 🙂

Dear Rose, I won’t tell you to smile or to cheer up.
But I will say to look for silver linings such as: 1. Americans are plumbing the good books once again. Books like George Orwell’s “1984, Sinclair Lewis’s “It Can’t Happen Here” and Phillip Roth’s “The Plot Against America” are all on the best seller list. 2. Americans are finally back to speaking out against injustices as they realize the power of the people. For too long we as a society have been apathetic and somewhat somnolent. And finally, 3. We no longer have to ask why the terrorists hate us. We know.
In the meantime, enjoy your escapism and talk about it here You have been missed.

That would be fantastic! Wonder if Bo will follow…

If Nora Buchanan is the new D.A., chances are she won’t be a successful one because the most popular characters on GH are criminals who never get convicted of anything. And, if I’m reading this correctly, her character wasn’t able to even get Todd Manning convicted of gang rape over on OLTL. I don’t care how popular Roger Howarth is. Letting a character get away with gang rape is HORRIBLE. What a misogynistic plotline.

Nora did not prosecute Todd for the gang rape. She was the attorney for the defense who caused a mistrial once she figured out that he did the crime, by imploring the jury to find her clients guilty. He then went to jail after Marty tricks him into a recorded confession. He later stalked and tried to rape Nora while she was temporarily blind from an illness.

Jimh,

I’m very sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you and your family.

Blessings to you and your family, Jim. My condolences.

Jimh, I am so sorry.. Many have felt your pain it’s too real.
God bless ..

Sorry Jim about the loss of your Dad. You will begin your new norm holding onto all embraces he sends you.. Nora hasn’t been on yet. But looking forward to her being another attorney. Her and whats her name worked together for a long time on OLTL. very exciting. Again… My condolences. If only life was a soap and our dads would come back with amnesia then cured.

Deepest condolences on your loss, jimh. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers…..

So sorry for your loss God Bless you and family. I would love for Todd to come back I do not mind Franco,but some fans will not give the character a chance. I adore Finn Easton is doing an excellent job with that role he deserves a change.

My condolences, Jimmy. Take care, my friend.

Sorry for your loss. Hang in there.

Remember what I said about “Hope”.

Come back to the site when you are ready.

Sorry for your loss, Jim. Try not to go too far away from us. Your opinions of the soaps are always good to read.

Jimh..I have just caught up to MF after a few days away. But I want you to know I am so sorry for your loss. Take care.

Than you, my Shay. I can never argue with your well-thought-out, well-written prose. I can only call it prose…..I have always looked up to you and your expressive words.
And, yes, it does the body, mind and soul well to disagree in a civil manner.
Susan Lucci is a lady….always has been. She is also a patroness of a few charities. As I said she does not live far from me…..she lived even closer before selling her gorgeous mansion in Westhampton Beach ( Quoque), albeit she still lives in Suffolk County.

As far as I am concerned, Nelle could belong to any family, at this point. Someone
else had mentioned that she could be AJ’s daughter. And, I sort of ran with that excellent idea and proposed that Nelle and Michael have a platonic relationship because Nelle is aware of their sibling connection. She is actually beginning to grow on me. But, Bobbi is starting to suspect Nelle is somehow a missing link to something she can’t even fathom.
Sometimes, Shay, Bobbi looks sinister to me. Furthermore, I did not like the alliance between her and Felicia in tricking Nelle. For the greater good??
Obviously, Carly, and indirectly Bobbi must have done something grave and unforgivable to either Nelle or someone very close to her.
Is that her silver rattle, or did she have a baby who died or taken away from her? When she looks heavenward, is Nelle talking to her father? It seems the revenge sooo detectable in her words, body language and eyes is stronger than herself…a driving force. And, Chloe is killing the role. She truly owns it.
I guess I’ve bored you and everyone enough, tesoro!
Arrivederci……a presto.

Love Hayden. Love Hayden and Finn.

The character of Hayden makes my stomach churn!

Neither can I.

Hayden and Franco are among some of the most propped characters I’ve ever seen!

I was not a fan of Hayden until they paired her with Finn. I love Fayden aka Hayden and Finn.

Love Hayden, from here to forever!!

I am glad I am not the only one, Hayden is horrible. I fast forward through her scenes.

Thank you “posts” who agree that GH is so obvious in the prop department

these soiled characters with no real connection to GH are wasting our time

Hadyen and FInn can look as happy as can… all cured lovey dovey and making their mark just so precise … with complete smile and even with aura

give me a break. AND LEAVE BRAD ALONE… he just wants in on the patent

why did they drag this out that much more? not enough fawning over.. because he’s McBain from OLTL . so he’s getting Griffin to write him opiate prescriptions?

there is absolutely no chemistry with these two…. I WILL POST… Hayden should have died. she has no value

her acting is too contrived… not real… because she knows she has that 4 year conract , and as his pet… Frank Valentini has spiraled

I wonder how much cache’… GH would bank… with firing Sonny / Carly / Jason / Sam / Finn / Hayden – may as well add Franco – the dullards

just makes the firings and letting go of GOOD ACTORS that much more frustrating… Paul / Morgan / Dr. Joe / Sabrina / Nicholas… these 5 characters left an indelible mark… and lasting impression… I miss them

you know… really good actors with the rest of the cast… and you throw in characters from AMC and OLTL. with good writing… this is A LOT of Potential. we don’t need the dullards

I would like to see Erica and Tracy lock horns!

Awwwww…Shaaayyyy,
Why? LOL.
Amazing how we perceive characters, eh?? I have always liked Rebecca ….since her AMC days.
Later.

Oh, no no, My lovely Shay.
Susan Lucci may be classy, but too old to bring innovative ideas to Crimson. She’s old enough to be Michelle’s mother.
Nina has spirit and spice, which is exactly what the show needs.

Out of context….Could this Frank that Carly is talking about be Carly’s bio father? Could Bobbi have ceded her to him and never told Carly he was her real father?
Carly said he left her and her adopted mother when she was three. So, perhaps, Frank started a new life after he abandoned Virginia and Carly. Nelle being the product of said, new family.
Many posters did say that Carly and Nelle may be half sisters.
Was Frank ever on the show, or is he just mentioned in the abstract?

Walt Willey, Julia Barr, Kassie D, Susan Lucci and the characters of Opal, Jamie and JR

PS.
Hi again, Shay,
I may have worded my comment indelicately….by no means would I deny Susan Lucci a welcome to GH. I love her…always have. She doesn’t live too far from me.
I was only referring to that setting; that is, editor of the magazine.
I think Nina is perfect for that job, and Maxi adds youth and oomph.
Susan would be great as a beauty consultant or as the resident dowager of the castle. Yeah, make her Valentin’s mother.
Methinks, I’ve been reading too many British Romance novels, LOL.

I marvel that some think a gorgeous, glamorous female of 70 can’t have “innovative” ideas… a woman who’s life was centered around beauty and glamour…as “too old” to run a fashion magazine…but yet think a 70 year old man with NO political experience can suddenly run an entire country and impose his views upon the world. Just a thought…

Celia – when I watched this episode I understood this as Frank was Carly’s adopted father, married to Virginia. I do agree that I think Nelle might be Frank’s kid but not sure why that would make her bitter towards Carly since it would be a whole other family. Just wish they would bring this one to an end or make it more juicy while we wait because I can’t stand Nelle and it’s time to move on.

Cannot stand Hayden

Love Finn , adore McBain and Jolie!

Now Hayden is financial officer at GH? Can you say PROP much? What a joke. Well Dr.O was chief of staff so…..

Hayden,Nina and Nelle can either exit stage left or fall off of Windermere’s parapets and they would never be missed! Not a fan of these characters at all.

Agree with Jamie. A grifter, a thief and an assaulter now financial officer for GH. I can’t stop laughing. Enough already. How many shoehorns have you used with Hayden and Nina. Really?

She is an excellent actor and would add a lot to the show. I just wonder if they would do her justice though. The writing would have to greatly improve. Only wish Asa was alive- he could take over for the Cassadines and give the Q’s a run for their money. Could you imagine – Vicki, Asa, Adam Chandler/Stuart , Bo all together on one show. Wow!

That would be great.

Roxy cant come back as Roxy. Ilene Kristen already recurs as her Ryan’s Hope character Delia. Things cant get too convoluted!

Franco needs to be killed off.

Do not want Nora wasted propping him like everyone else.

Worst romance in the 20 year history of Liz’s character.

Todd is also not needed back and the Howarth show needs to stop.

Bring back Tyler as Nikolas with the open payroll from Howarth after Franco dies.

Roger is an Emmy winning actor and gives 100% to everything he does. You can still see bits of Todd in him which makes him that much more endearing.
Roger and Becky together is going to make one fantastic and exciting couple. Excellent actors that will be anything but boring.
Outside of Jason and Liz or Jake Doe and Liz – this is one of the best pairing she has had.
Get rid of the boring couple they are tying so hard to prop to keep them going. With sam gone…Jason can finally find someone to love and not feel propped.
Actually – like Steve Burton said – he wished the writers actually explored the love between JAson and Liz and built on that. Maybe a triangle between Liz, Franco and JAson trying to win back the woman he always loved from the day they first met. If not for his mob connections and danger – he would of been with Liz a long time ago. She is his soul mate . His coming back as JAKE Doe and him being immediately drawn to Liz proves that. Then the writers had to try to PROP JAsam as usual and they messed it all up..and it’s been downhill ever since.

well su…we can agree on Franco. love how the character has evolved…and loving Todd and Liz!

LOL…was “multi-tasking.” I meant FRANCO and Liz!

That scenario makes me very happy. I interviewed Tonja a few years ago and she was floating the idea of Olivia/Alex being one and the same then. I hope this comes to fruition. I’d like them to connect the shows more (like they started to do with Alcazar/Tomas). I have a stupid hope that enough of these OLTL and AMC visits will spark more interest in reviving one or both shows (and please don’t lecture me that those shows are dead and done…. everyone said that no OLTL or AMC would ever appear on GH again and well, that’s not really true is it? 🙂 )

another “prop” that seems so obvious… and I can’t stand it

how things just fall in to their lap and they rarely do anything…

is Sam and Jason… all they need are their matching black leather jackets and off they go

Sam , finding that yellow paper ‘ NOTE from Franco… locked in the storage unit.

@GH… has propped Jason /Carly / Sonny / Sam so far up arse… no? give me a break Frank / Jean / Shelley. these 4 suck… they always will.

ARGH … i’m disappointed that this is the lamest excuse of a story for Seth Baker to be show acting this out. he’s a good actor… he’s exacting revenge for his family…. they all nutted so it seems.

to bad… looked like Michael Rodrick (Seth Baker) had some promise as an actor .

I hope so, Andrew. I’d love to see OLTL characters integrated if they could somehow do it in a way that doesn’t lose the feel of GH…and brings back GH vets, as well. Tall order but if they find a way to do it might just save…or…evolve…the daytime soap genre.

Agree wholeheartedly, Tomas. They need to do a better job of spreading out the air time. I don’t mind the top storylines getting the most air time, cause that’s how it is. But spread it out a little more, get some of the other characters represented at least once or twice a week. I don’t think that’s too much to ask.

That’s what I loved about GH when I first started watching, back when Wendy Riche was exec producer, pretty much every character and every storyline got some air time at least once or twice a week. You didn’t go weeks at a time without seeing certain people.

Yes!! And I agree she was geeat

Finally, dmr, someone who is not a fan of Dante and Lulu. But, it seems that we are not to express ourselves on this site. We HAVE to like those characters whom the most aggressive posters demand of us…wah, wah, wah…..
I would love to see Genie and Kevin enmeshed in a romantic storyline. So far, their relationship is just ‘understood’….step it up, I say.
You are so right…Laura’s job is to showcase lalahead Lulu. I guess a mother’s job is never done? LOL

Love Laura, but I have had no use for Lulu since Julie Berman took a hike.
This one is as perky and cute as a muppet while the old Lulu was ethereally beautiful and yet, street wise. Julie as Lulu was a perfect representation of what would happen if Luke and Laura had a child.
I do like Dante, however. I just don’t like him with this Lulu.

Why can’t they ever seem to write a story for Genie/Laura? I could do without Lulu! I did enjoy the prior actress in the role

Alan, THAT is an excellent idea!

I love it!

Well, this Shay person seems to right on point here.
