Ingo Rademacher Makes Another Return To General Hospital!

49
The character of Nelle isnt working as i originally hoped…i found Carly too accepting of Nelle into her home just because she gave kidney to Josslyn…and at first it seems she was forced to give the kidney…who lets someone into their home they barely know-i dont want blood relatives in my home as it is-lol…Nelle maybe Nina’s daughter…at first i thought maybe she was Carly’s with Tony Jones but then she should be older than Micheal?…Jax i can take him or leave him-i know he is popular but i never cared for the character…i always felt he and Linda Dano… Read more »
i like Sonnys haunting dreams about young Morgan but i hope he doesnt end up in bed with Nelle…like a redo of Carly and Tony!!!
Where is Lucas…all the hospital drama and then his nephew Morgan ‘dies’ and he isnt around!!!
Couldn’t agree more Jimh including Linda Dano..never warmed up to Felecia on another world and that tiresome trio of her, Cass and wallingford
Felicia was too campy…and Linda was often side glancing like she was reading cue cards…people would talk as if she was the best thing to hit AW…ratings really werent that great when she was on and AW wasnt the top soap it once was…its the 70s era when Beverly Mckensie played the scheming Iris who was obsessed with daddy Mac and hated his young wife Rachel when the show was at its best and was hugely popular…When Bev left the show lost one mllion viewers…she was the actress here to remember as well as vicki Wyndam and Jackie Courtney who… Read more »
you had me roaring with laughter…. “thank you” “…who lets someone into their home they barely know-i dont want blood relatives in my home as it is ” right ? I agree with you … that Nelle is losing track; steam ; edge ; mystique at least thus far.. she isn’t smothering Michael… like Carly she’d mow him down. Please soap gods… do not pair her with she’s gotten in too fast… with ; Sonny and Carly business… to even make it interesting… down the road… right ? it’s beddie bed time… and see the fallout is this going to… Read more »
Jimh I also have to throw in Jennifer Leak as Olive Gordon. I loved that character almost as much as I loved Barbara Rodell as Joyce Coleman on ATWT. GOTTA get rid of Jacquie Courtney’s alice..once the actress moved to llanview as Pat Ashley/maggie that’s when I liked Jacquie Courtney…as well as the actor who played Steven..not until he became Tony Lord on OLTL
Yes…she was another great actress from the show…and there were many back then…i did hate it when they had her kill off John Randolph-dont recall if the actor wanted to leave or not …also enjoyed Roberts Blossom as the evil Cory servant Sven…and the late Barry Jenner who played Olive’s lover Evan Webster!!!
LOL, Jimmy….please, soap gods; let Nelle be Nina’s. Give this woman a break. I have this ominous premonition that Nina will be ‘searching’ for a baby, in every ‘way’ possible!!!!
It would be some twist, as I mentioned weeks ago, if Nelle and Kiki were twins. MadMaddie gave one baby to Ava and the other to an ‘adoptive’ mother. I do realize that the twin-stories on any soap has been played out….but….
I think it falls into the category of very soapy and bubbly. Don’t you think? Too stagnant? LOL.
Nelle and Kiki-faternal twins separated at birth…Yes, The Stagnate Twins do belong to their Stagnate(no dna needed there-lol) Mom Napni(means Nina puts me to sleep-lol)…Sorry, C-i know you like Michelle(Nina) and i tried to at least tolerate her but to me she is like nails on the chalkboard!!!
@Jimh(leave it to beaver). Hey, there, my friend, I will admit, that’s too funny, Jimmy. Kiki did very well this past week. Nelle? I keep liking her less and less. She’s always an ear-shot away….looming. She just appears out of nowhere. Sonny has had multiple nightmares–what follows? There’s instant-Nelle right behind the door. Isn’t she supposed to be upstairs tending to Avery? But, that’s ok, say what you feel…I like that…. just too funny. Yes, I love Michelle, but Nina needs to go on Morgan’s meds ( sans Ava’s placebos), LOL. Yet, I do love Nina, as well…I love her… Read more »
Hello Celia ^ Funnnny ! about “instant-Nelle within ear-shot – looming -” if only the Corinthos could be as funny ——— yeah, shucks… ie: Nina character… I was / am actually interested in Curtis… helping Nina… regardless if it’s “against” the law… and even if it works against him wanting on the Port Charles PD… so what… this is Curtis.. and his chemistry with Nina… works i’m hoping that the writers get Nina character all fired up and in charge.. when Valentin gets back… as these two are stratosphere bigger than life. ahem GH ! get Nina out of the… Read more »
Agree with you–character of Nelle is not working–she’s a cold fish, introduced poorly.
Any character who comes on and tells the story that her parents sold one of her kidneys is doomed. No prep, hazy background story, muddled storyline, etc. It’s a shame.
Nelle WILL sleep with Sonny. Either he will be drunk or he will be drugged. She is creepy! Mr. Corintos! Mr. Corinthos! WHAT!
We agree, Timmmy. That has been my impression of Nelle from the onset.
Jimh agree…as for John Randolph Harding Lemay who over saw and wrote AW’s greatest era back then was irritated by certain actors and stories and pushed back against P&G hard to get his vision of Bay City on air. He couldn’t stand the two actors who were most popular as Steve and Alice which is how they ended up at OLTL. He said Jacquie Courtney once became so hysterical in a scene she mumbled all his good lines because she couldn’t bring the meaning across. George rheinholdt was a beast to work with and he didn’t like pat Randolph encumbered… Read more »
so happy he is back , i wish he comes back.perm. the
show needs him, tired of the .julian story and we need
more storys like felix , lucus, brad and bring back nick stable as nicholas.!! carly is an amazing actress, and bring the actress sabrina back too, huge mistake gh
No big surprise here. I think we all expected a return as his association (‘underground’, LOL) with Nelle is not over.
Actually, it’s just beginning.
You’re right, Celia. More in the ongoing saga of ho-hum. I thought maybe Jax was returning to comfort Joss or even Carly, but I’m sure there’ll be a bigger plot (plop?) here. Stay tuned.
You’re too funny, Soaphound.
I agree. There seemed to be unfinished business and secrets when Jax left the last time. He had a “look” on his face, and he just acquiesced to Nelle being there too easily. Wonder what he’s been up to since he left? He has the resources and contacts to find out more. Or maybe he already knew things about Nelle??? Anyway the Morgan story has been a showcase of great acting on the part of Carly, Sonny, Ava, Michael and Nelle. And even the Charlotte story has finally given Maxie a chance to show her stuff, especially in scenes with… Read more »
i am 16 i love one live to life it is my favorite show i love me some vikki, todd, blair, star, jack gigi, rex, cole,danny, rip, bobby, nataile, john,tess and the others, anyways what im tryin to say is even doe im young i love the show please please please dont take it off the air im going to miss it to much im asking like keith sweat baby baby please dont take it off the air
I can not believe One Life to Live is ending! I am so pissed! It is my very favorite! Its like losing a part of myself! I dont even like tv, so i wont be watching the dumb new sows!
Everything you said, Rose. I can’t add anything to your concise and complete account. I think Jax knows Nelle….and knows her well. How? Maybe he was the one who ‘bought’ her kidney? Obviously, there’s a history between them. Good, bad or a conspiracy? As far as the actors/ actresses—-superlative work by them all. And, yes, I loved Maxie’s spunk. So feisty, LOL. can’t kick her around. My son was so upset to see her being thrown around, as he has a crush on Maxie ( he’s seven, lol). I had to explain it was all fake and he wasn’t trying… Read more »
Just love Jax…happy whenever he returns. Wish they could work out a deal to have him recurring. I know he couldn’t appear regularly since he lives in Hawaii but more often might be a win-win.
I wish they would throw us for a loop and reveal that she’s AJ’s daughter out for revenge. As it stands, I’m still betting that she turns out to be Carly’s daughter.
I think she’s Carly’s daughter too but I love the idea of her being AJ’s! As it stands now though looks to me like she’s trying to seduce Sonny…much as Carly did to her mothers’s ( Bobby) husband Tony.
What a great idea, Jason. Nelle and Michael; AJ’s children. The more I think about it, the more I like it.
well… now that we think about it more….
Nelle… does have facial features “similar” to Ms. Tracy
right ?
you guys blew me away… with her likeness to Diane Lane
This is the right thing to do! In the past, GH would tell stories and important people in character lives would be absent when the story demanded they be there. In other words, at Morgans funeral, Jax should and will be there! Nelle is another story Jax disappeared from. I hope he stays long enough to at least explain how he knows her. Welcome back Ingo!
Jax is coming to check on Nelle and to say I told you so to Carly about marrying Sonny again…
I wish they could keep Jax around long term, he’s such a great character and the show is in need of more leading men than just Sonny, Jason and Julian. The newbies aren’t cutting it – Nathan, Andre, Curtis and Griffin aren’t exactly leading men material. Plus, Jax has a long history with the show and chemistry with many leading ladies. And Ingo Rademacher is such a natural performer, he immediately draws you in. I’m still hoping Nelle turns out to be the daughter of Jax and Nina. The writers are so determined to give Nina a child, and this… Read more »
I disagree when it comes to Curtis and griffin
“thank you” Jimmy… and any one else who cares to acknowledge WITHOUT: Nicholas, Dr. Joe , Morgan, Paul MEN with charisma… masculine men, Men with personality … sexual energy seriously… why would we be that drawn to Sonny and Jason ? LOL Julian is STUD as for the men you mention not up to snuff: Nathan, Andre, Curtis, Griffin… I’d definitely add to this list.. Franco, Michael, Finn lackadaisical…. period (lacking enthusiasm and determination; carelessly lazy) let’s even put it out their… not for lack of try? it’s Jean and Shelley writing that being said… Frank Valentini and Jean and… Read more »
Patrick…it’s not like you don’t always have a lot to say, but you really covered a lot of territory with these comments. Agree GH needs more ” Men with charisma…masculine men, Men with personality…sexual energy.”
Hmmmm, Patrick. Curtis is H O T !!!! From the beginning I found such a steamy, spicy and scalding current flowing between him and Nina. Valerie does not have that erotically, titillating substance to sustain Curtis for too long….didn’t work with Dante….short stint; and, it won’t last with Curtis….she just does not possess the IT-sultry facor. If I’m wrong, I’ll…I’ll…I don’t know what I’ll do…LOL. Hayden is veeeery sexy….but, I don’t see her and Curtis going anywhere ‘exotic’. As far as Nelle and Michael. You are right, in my opinion. She has the ‘look’ . She and Michael really resemble… Read more »
I really like the idea of making Nina.. pregnant with Valentin. it’s just maddening… that FV and jean and Shelley were greenlighted and renewed @GH for ??? however long their spiral continues why not call them out ? chemistry .. be it familial, bonding… relating to the cast as a whole… sexual energy… is vital… no two ways about it… the woman are in cruise control… as it were the menfolk are stymied … I adore… Lucas, Brad, Aaron, Julian, Ned I haven’t read any thing worthy @ Franco, Sonny, Finn, Jason.. other than they are veteran or have an… Read more »
I forgot… for good reason
Dante and Dillon… are cruising
Kevin and Scotty… both va va voom in their own right… dramedy… whew!
Mac – crime.. what’s happened to him and Felicia… AIRTIME
let’s just put it right out their…. Ingo Rademacher – drool – is TOP SHELF even after all these years… knock me out Jax was the best part… of Laura Wright’ Carly…. THE REASON, she won a lead actress emmy. fact Jax was the best part… of the Brenda / Sonny / Jax / Carly Saga…. WOAH… at it’s prime… Port Charles steamed us all out. for romance, leading man, fight, persevere, stamina, tall, dark, handsome… you get it – Ingo Rademacher IS ( masculine ) his last visit was blink of an eye I still say his visit prior..… Read more »
Ingo is tall, handsome…but not dark…he’s blond. 🙂 other than that…yep!
I think Carly/Laura can stand on her own. She is one of the most expressive thespians on soaps ( other than Maura West, that is, LOL).
Laura has the power to communicate heart-rending emotions from the most icy person….she’s that good. Her piteous rendering of the grieving mother was too much for me to bear—I had to FF. Her scenes reached deeply, within my being that much!!!!
jax is needed full time, w/ all the drama of morgans death, i would think jax would not want his daughter anywhere near sonny, plus add into the mix his ex carly and bff Alexis, theres enough drama there to keep jax around for a while.
Much like Kimberly McCullough, Ingo is another one I’m always glad to see whenever he comes back. Like others, I wish he could be on more often, but I’m glad to take whatever I can get. I’d rather he drop it every now and then as opposed to not seeing Jax at all.
I think Nelle could be Carly’s biological father, John Durant’s daughter, making her Carly’s half sister. When he got killed in 2006, Nelle would have been probably 12 or 13. Maybe she got put in foster care and adopted out. Perhaps, Jax discovered Carly’s Dad had another daughter and paid Nelle’s adoptive parents a large sum of money for her kidney. Nelle has made comments that she admires Carly for making it to the top and she also keeps looking at their large family. That would be something an orphaned child would long for. Just a thought.
You have better ideas than the writers! The whole Charlotte paternity thing was a HUGE bust. But, this sounds good. Much better than Nelle being Carly’s daughter. Like Carly wouldn’t remember having a child the same age as Morgan! And, if she did, that meant Morgan tried to make out with his half-sister. GROSS!
Hi, Kansas,
Please don’t laugh if I am off, here. I am not familiar with Carly’s story as I should be…..I have only been watching for a couple of years.
I know absolutely nothing of Carly and Sonny snd their child, Morgan, together.
I like what many fans are saying regarding Nelle and her ‘origin’; but, is it possible that Nelle was replaced by Morgan, at birth?
Ho, the possibilities!!! All these ideas are swirling in my brain. LOL. I’ll stop now, while I’m ahead.
Still, if Carly and Nelle being sisters would mean Morgan kissed his aunt. That’s equally as gross, but he didn’t know that at the time. And Nelle stopped it from progressing, maybe because she knows they are related in some way?
I haven’t heard this idea before but I love it! It explains why she is a match for Josslyn, it explains her interest in Carly, but it also closes the door on a possible Michael/Nelle pairing, which I am intrigued by. Another interesting idea I’ve heard is Nelle being AJ’s daughter, and seeking revenge on the people who hurt him. I think that has possibilities too, but it would work better if somehow AJ was alive and they were working together. It would be a cool way to reintroduce him into the canvas and right a wrong that Ron C… Read more »
Hey, Jimmy ( not Jimh? LOL), I can’t tell if you are referring to me about the ‘novel idea’, LOL. If you are? Thank you. It is a soap, afterall….so, replacing Nelle with Morgan is plausible. He doesn’t look like anybody. And, although it is a soap, genetically, Morgan does not have a fraction of Sonny’s ‘look’. Nelle, at least, looks familiar…..falls more in the genetic pool. But, I am, once more, stretching, LOL. I don’t want to erase Morgan’s memory. I think it would intrinsically essential when/if Morgan comes back and a story evolves around this very subject. Perhaps,… Read more »
one. that’s a beautiful thought… as you said… in all likelihood .. an orphan want(s)
yet will exact , revenge?
a mixed up child ? would explain a lot … yet give Carly a lot from which to work
which would help in explaining … Nelle action (s)
dang… there are a lot of possibilities swirling.. this is going to play out
for me selfishly… I hope it’s the “all about Eve ” angle… and she and Sonny, against his better judgment .. beds… Nelle.. and it’s all crosses to bear… for struggling Sonny and Carly.
GH might be turning Nell into an old school Carly type character. Would not come as a surprise to me if Nell has sex with Sonny. Nell is too goody goody two shoes. I am basing this on previous conversations of Carly”s past
