In the final moments of Monday’s episode of General Hospital, viewers got their first glimpse of Michael Easton in his new role on the ABC soap as Dr. Hamilton Finn.
How did it all come about? Monica Quartermaine (Leslie Charleson)! Thanks to Monica’s concerns for Tracy’s (Jane Elliot) worsening medical condition she picks up her cell phone and dials up a medical expert she feels could really help figure out what on earth is going on with her sister-in-law.
When Monica launches into the phone exchange about how she met Hamilton and why she is calling him, fans of GH and Easton see him petting a very specific reptile, a bearded dragon! Looks Like Dr. Finn has an intriguing taste in pets.
Watch the introduction of Easton’s new character after the jump. Then let us know from the little you witnessed, how you surmise Hamilton to be? The story continues with more with Easton on Today’s episode. Share your thoughts below!

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Tells Nina He Knows Exactly Who He Is; Jason & Carly’s Wedding Comes to an Explosive Conclusion
Is it game over for Nina Reeves (Cynthia Watros), or does she have another trick up her sleeve to keep Sonny (Maurice Benard) to herself, now that he remembers who is he?
On Friday’s dramatic episode of General Hospital, “Mike” looks to be gone and Sonny has come back in full force complete with a super hero moment escaping from being trapped underneath the beam that had fallen on top of him inside the burning Tan-O. Sonny makes his escape after inhaling so many fumes, that he needs medical attention and is rushed to the hospital with Nina going along with him.
Inside the hospital, once given the all clear, Phyllis (Joyce Guy) tells Nina, “Mike” is asking for her, while Jax (Ingo Rademacher) pleads to let the doctors handle this situation. But, Nina heads inside the room to see Sonny. Then came the dramatic moment that many GH fans were waiting for. As Nina calls him “Mike, he rips off his oxygen mask in anger and says that his name is Sonny and he remembers everything! Nina does a pivot, knowing she is caught, and says the name may have have been a fake one, but they cannot deny the way they feel about each other. She tells him that she honestly loves him and Sonny defiantly tells her NOT to say that. Meanwhile Jax confirms to Phyllis that Nina always knew that “Mike” was Sonny and hid it from her and Sonny for months!
Back in Port Charles, Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly’s (Laura Wright) wedding comes to a conclusion! No one interrupts the wedding and the two look lovingly at each other to start their new life together as husband and wife.

After the ceremony, mobsters Ms. Wu, Vincent, and Charles have a moment where she says “be wary of tomorrow”. Jason and Carly have a moment alone where Jason looks truly in love with Carly now and all of those feelings he had buried for years have now come back to the surface. How will this all play out when Sonny comes back into everyone’s lives, alive and well?
After the reception had ended, Jason and Carly get in their limo to drive away as newlyweds. She asks Jason what Ms. Wu whispered in his ear at the reception, he says she confirmed something he already knew. Meanwhile, Vincent and Charles get in their limo. Charles shares the world is about to be a better place without Carly and Jason in it.
Next, Carly tells the driver to start the car, and we see a bomb device under a car and the chapel blown up as the show comes to its conclusion.
Our bet is that the Novak/Buscema car was blown to bits, not Jarly’s limo thanks to a Wu double-cross, but we shall see next week! Great performances from Maurice Benard, Cynthia Watros, Laura Wright, and Steve Burton throughout this one.
So, what did you think of the moment Sonny told Nina he remembered who he is? What did you think of Jason and Carly’s nuptials? What do you think will happen next? Share your thoughts and theories via the comment section below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Sonny Remembers Carly Just as She Is Marrying Jason
After nine months of being “Mike”, Sonny Corinthos (Maurice Benard) had a major breakthrough as his memory is all coming back to him now (as the Celine Dion song says), and in the process the Tan-O has burned to the ground, signaling the the probable end to the Nixon Falls arc of the story.
As the story picked-up on Thursday, Nina’s (Cynthia Watros) plot to keep Sonny for herself and away from Carly majorly backfired on her. Not only does Phyllis (Joyce Guy) now know that Nina lied about “Mike’s” identify the entire time, but Peter August (Wes Ramsey) is running wild and free heading back to Port Charles to claim his baby and Maxie (Kirsten Storms), after setting fire to the building.

Since “Mike” ran in to save Nina and got hit by a beam in the process, he is alone in the burning Tan-O enveloped by flames, but that triggers the beginning of his memory coming back.
Meanwhile, back in Port Charles, Jason (Steve Burton) and Carly (Laura Wright) are at their wedding, with the five family mob bosses present with a plot of their own and everyone wondering if Jarly will say “I do'”. The two light a candle together for those loved ones no longer with them … ah, Sonny!
Back the burning Tan-O, Sonny is visited by the vision of the real Mike (Max Gail) who tells him it’s time for him to go home now. A conflicted Sonny tells Mike he is very happy in Nixon Falls with Nina, but Mike tells him he needs to know his past in order to move forward. When Sonny has flashes of his violent past it frightens him, and he says whatever family he has is better off without him in their lives.
Jax (Ingo Rademacher) tries to text Maxie while still in Nixon Falls with Nina to watch out for Peter, but she is attending and managing Carly and Sonny’s wedding, so she doesn’t pick up the phone!
Inside the Tan-O, Sonny sees a vision of woman, who when she turns and faces him is Carly. While Sonny is lying on the floor and is engulfed in flames and trapped, Mike tells Sonny he can die as “Mike” or live on as the man he truly is, Sonny. It is then Sonny calls out “Carly!”
So, what did you think of the episode? Do you think Carly and Jason will get married? Will Sonny tells Nina he remembers? What will Nina’s next move be? Are you glad Sonny seems to have his memory back? The episode featured another strong performance by Maurice Benard. Share your thoughts below.

Lame! Hoping he turns out to have Cassidine connections after all.
Maybe he will be the male figure in the painting of Helena’s teapot
Perhaps he was the one who added a specific deleterious “ingredient” to Helena’s teapot, being the renowned “infectious disease specialist” that he is????” I certainly hope not, especially since I want to see the “Dragon Lady” alive and kicking for another of her cunning capers. And speaking of “dragons,” I wonder if Reptile Roxy secretes any poisonous substances????? (Would that qualify as a “service?”)
@Mary SF/ Shay.
We may joke about it, LOL…. But, I think you are both on the right track. I think there is an association between Finn snd Helena. The lizard is smack in the middle of it.
What if Helena took Silas’ body ( dead or otherwise) and created a monster?
Oh, Shay, as usual, you drew a chuckle from me. As yourself, I did liken Roxy, the Dragon to Helena, the Dragon. Are they sisters? Love your symbolism.
Then, there’s Griffin….a mind teaser….getting even weirder. Does Griffin know Claudette? Is he here for revenge? Is Griffin Nathan’s brother?
@Shay/ Mary.
I just wanted to say that I was watching ‘old’ movies on TCM, where Constance Towers was interviewed ( during the intermission) on her role in the movie SHOCK CORRIDOR (1963)…it will be shown tomorrow, if you have that network. I will DVR it….
She has such impeccable manners; is so intelligent and just beautiful inside and out ….WOW!!
Anyway, I wanted to let you know, since we share a common admiration for her.
HAPPY EASTER.
Sooooo thrilled Michael is back! I think he & his gal pal Roxy make a great couple so far. I’m just happy he’s on. Marie
I felt pretty confident that I had figured out the reason for Roxy, and the reason for Finn to keep her with him. That is until I read this thread. I began to doubt my concept due to some of the reasons posted here. Now, however I am holding to my original thoughts, and wondering only why I seem to be the only one who is thinking it. Currently I am holding back because if I post it, I may be the spoiler for those enjoying the question more than attempting a discovery of the answer, which now I believe… Read more »
I love it that Monica was in the center of this introduction. More Monica time!
The bearded dragon is disgusting! I thought if it were a chameleon it would symbol him not being who we thought he was and changing personalities or his identity!
Rumor has it the bearded dragon’s name is R.C.!
Below you i put Frank…lol
Great minds Jimmy!
More Monica time, indeed. Loving all of the Monica w/Tracy scenes. I loved the look of delight on Tracy’s face when Dr. Finn made the remark about his bedside manner.
Is his pet named Frank…lol
Shay mentioned Hamilton Finns possible link to David Hamilton who Laura killed hundred years ago…maybe he will have a story with Laura…wanting revenge for Davids death…David might have been his father or whatever…
About 99% of today’s viewers have no clue who David Hamilton was…the sleeze bag who used Laura to get to Leslie before Laura cracked his head open on the fireplace. And the first man Laura dumped Scotty for! But I do like that idea! Hope he isn’t Laura’s long lost son.
@Joe…That storyline long preceded my viewing of GH, too….I just recalled the mention of it in later years, as when Laura told Luke of the incident, so the name, David Hamilton, stuck in my mind. (I had to look it up online for the details…..) As you have explained, he was the first of Laura’s many ill-fated mishaps with unsavory men through the years…..talk about setting the template for future failures!
I hope he isnt her son too…
I am in the 1 %! That was the storyline that got me watching the “stories” after school with my mama, Tias and Abulas! It must have been 1975?
I remember the love letter written by Laura it was ripped up but the letter “L” was torn up thrown in the air and found in the chandelier. That was the proof they used to throw Leslie in the clink and she took the wrap! Laura had forgortten it!
This again was long befor Luke or Scotty !
Fabulous soap days- thanks for remembering!
I remember it well. I was home from school sick. David told Laura that he never loved her and some other nasty things. Laura cracked his head open–with a bookend? Leslie discovered her, and David’s dead body. Leslie took the blame and was in jail until the guilt caused Laura to almost break. I loved that storyline! I’ve loved Laura, Leslie and Rick ever since.
How could Michael Easton playe Genie Frances’s son when he is about her age, give or take a couple of years? It’s bad enough she is playing the mother of Nikolas when Tyler Christopher is only ten years younger than Genie (but looks her age at least).
I was thinking he could play a love interest for Laura–Good Lord, her son?
That would be ridiculous.
It’s most likely too much to ask that he would have some connection to the show’s history, but I love the idea.
Correction. David tore up her love letters and threw them into the air and laughed at her. She pushed him and he fell into the fireplace head first and died.
The old days, the late 70s and early 80s, were my favorite times. Love Rick and Leslie, Alan and Monica, Scotty and Laura. Of course, I loved Luke and Laura, too. When Laura killed David, she took off and Scotty went and saved her. Seems like he keeps saving her.
Those were the days. Monica Q deciding to have Leslie’s hubby Rick, Amy Vining and nurse Lucille. Aunt Ruby. Good times.
Monica, Tracy, and Dillon had some great scenes in this episode. Tracy asking Monica to be healthcare directive cause she won’t make sentimental decision like Ned/Dillon and Monica responded by saying if she thinks she doesn’t care about her she couldn’t be more wrong was such a powerful moment. Monica leaving the room and fighting back tears was another heartfelt moment and her talk with Dillon in the hallway was just great with him telling her that he knows his mom loves her. The hug that Monica and Dillon shared was touching. I also like Dillon on the phone with… Read more »
Jay….Feel much the same about this episode for a change. Actually laughed when Carly opened the courtroom door, starting the nursing moms and the supportive black, lacy reveals.
Good post. But Diane didn’t really let Alexis win…just teased Alexis while saving face. Love their friendship which used to be so fun when Diane was on the show regularly. That’s another thing GH needs more of…friendships!
Seriously, a fifty second clip of him sitting at a desk and what did we think? The attention being paid to this return, starting with the ridiculous promo that the rest of the cast was duped into doing is just ridiculous. But what did I think, I think he has the same low, unexpressive voice and they have to give him a pet lizard to try and give him a personality which says a lot. No matter how much anyone pretends that Michael Easton is a big deal, it’s not going to happen. This return also came at the end… Read more »
Obviously it appeals to your mentality since you watch and complain about it more than most people.
I’m right there with her. GH was marvelous for decades. And now it might have a couple of good scenes a week. It’s easy to critique and complain about. And Michelle Stafford IS playing Nina in a really weird way.
I think the breast feeding story rivals the worst of RC’s terrible writing.
And I will KEEP complaining, as I imagine AJQ will. So get used to it.
So then there is a simple solution. If you go to a restaurant and you dont like the food, do you keep going there? You may post an online review saying how bad it was, then in most likelihood not go there again. Or you may at some point give it another try but if you still dont like it you stop going. You don’t post a daily review complaining about how bad it is do you? But some people will watch a soap every day, then come here and complain. I’d ask why they watch every day but I… Read more »
Well Sean, you’ve obviously given this a lot of thought and taken the time to express your thoughts so I’ll help you out. First, your analogy of a restaurant is flawed. As opposed to a TV show, to go to a restaurant means exactly that, you physically go. So you take time, you travel and then you eat a meal and on top of that you pay money for it. A soap on the other hand magically appears for free on your TV, you don’t have to move from your chair, you don’t have to physically consume anything, and you… Read more »
In that case if you don’t give it your full attention then you shouldn’t be complaing about it every day. A soap does not “magically” appear on your screen. You have to chose to put that program on I just don’t get it, for over years now you have been on various sites complaining about GH. If I dislike a show that much I do the simple thing turn the channel. The show seems to make you so miserable, yet you still take the time to write about it every day which tells me that is your sole purpose of… Read more »
then if you dont give it your full attention then you cant give a critique that means anything because you yourself say yo don’t pay attention. But you obviously do since you point every little flaw the show us and have done so for 4 years now. there are plenty of other programs that you might enjoy that you could put on “in the background”but you chose GH for the specific point of come here to complain about the show that “magically”comes on for free. Umm yea last i checked you have to chose to put it on that channel
I’m with you Sean…and your restaurant analogy was appropro.
AJQ…Nina is not “physically” or “mentally” challenged. Physically she’s able-bodied and stunning. Mentally she is coming off a 20-year coma. Caused by her mother. Lost two decades of her life. She’s since evolved into a strong woman with a creative mind, and has become an adept problem solver all while still dealing with the traumatic events of her life. Considering how disgruntled and angry some get over the fictitious world of GH, I thiink Nina is doing remarkably well comparativelly!
Sean and Rebecca, you’re both way off the mark here. Listen up–those of us who complain about GH have been watching for years, and therefore, we have invested not only time into this show, we’ve invested our emotions. Yes, we get to complain and I do not abide by this love it or leave it mentality which some of you attempt to thrust down our throats. It actually really pisses me off when you attempt to censor those who do not jump up and down with utter adulation for a show that we’ve watched for many many years. AJQ is… Read more »
The breast feeding in public controversy seems very antiquated and totally ridiculous. They think they’re making the women look self actualized and strong but in reality they’re making them look just plain silly. Put a blanket over the baby’s face and the nursing breast when breastfeeding in public and there is no controversy. Yes, it’s that simple and yes, it’s a matter of social etiquette to adhere to the cultural climate. If they really want this group of hens to address the sky which is falling, then address real issues which are equal pay for equal work and how women… Read more »
Likewise Harry, I usually respect your opinion…or at least the inoffensive way you express it. However, in this case, not so much. I don’t need to be reprimanded…I didn’t tell AJQ not to express her opinion or to turn GH off. But AJQ is extremely sarcastic on most of her replys to anyone who disagrees with her. Ironically, unbeknownst to her it seems, I defended her on another post weeks ago when she seemed under attack. However, I have since been on the receiving end of her snark on the thread about Eastman’s promo. Sean IS right. He neither told… Read more »
Handsome! Interesting!! I can’t wait to learn more!!! So grateful he is back!!!
IT IS GOOD TO SEE HIM BACK….HOPE HE BRINGS AN INTERESTING STORY LINE BECAUSE GH NOW AS SO MANY SOO NOT INTERESTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT IS BEST TO RECORD AND FAST FORWARD…
Hi Laura-
Do you think he has had any “help” getting a bit more handsome?
No judgement – he just didn’t need it!
I don’t think Michael has had any “work”done. He doesn’t look like he did…and doesn’t seem like the kind of person who would do anything even if he did. He’s busted his nose three times and never fixed it…and if you look at him before so much damage you’ll see that even though he’s still very good-looking he was even more so. I think he just looks rested, cut his hair (I think it’s darker) and gained some weight. He looks great…has that sensual look as always.
I’m happy to see ME return but not as a quirky doctor. He had played a doctor previously so I would have preferred him in any other type role instead.
First of all, Hamilton Finn is a terrible name. I thought Silas Clay was bad, and I’m not sure who came up with this one, but it’s definitely worse. Second, I’m not super impressed that Michael Easton is back in a totally new role. I would have preferred if he joined the cast as an already established character, like Thomas Hardy or Valentin Cassadine or heck, even a recast Steve Webber. And third, what’s up with his pet lizard? I’m not sure where they’re going with this character but I really hope he doesn’t end up being a wash like… Read more »
You are hilarious! The names are ridiculous!
They are as fake as that facelift!
see what I wrote to you above…don’t think there’s any lift…other than what many of us feel when seeing him! lol…
Its Michael Easton. Pretty much guaranteed to put me in a coma unless he’s playing crazy. Has to be a better use of $.
So happy to see ME back.
I’m looking forward to having ME back on screen..
I can only hope he will be written well and not stupidly (a whole lot of stupid scripts are being played out) and that this time around he will get some meaty drama the kind that makes me go WOW! .. Easton is at his best when he is a bit on the darkside ..
I can only wish his character as doctor Finn will be mysterious. exciting, intelligent and gripping..
bottom line; GH doesn’t need another boring saint..
Su…just a thought. Whose to say you can’t be a doctor and long lost Cassidine with an agenda?
Really, Rose!….I’m expecting the mysterious Dr. Finn to be a multi-layered character…..and not just a wonderfully weird and eccentric infectious disease specialist with a penchant for reptilian pets! There is definitely much more to him than meets the eye! (And speaking of that, what’s up with the Naomi Dreyfus-Berlin thing? Please tell me that Hayden, Rachel, whatever….is not related to that great GH legacy grifter galore, Holly Sutton Scorpio! Bilking people was her specialty. I realize that may be out-of-the-box thinking, but I’m racking my brain trying to decide who else from Port Charles past could have elicited such a… Read more »
My initial gut reaction is it’s kind of disappointing that Michael is playing another doctor. I was hoping for something different. Like I know a lot of people were hoping he might be the often spoken about, but still yet unseen Valentin Cassadine, which would have been really fun. But who knows, maybe he still could be. Hamilton Finn is such an over the top, almost fake sounding name, that I’m hoping it’s an alias, and over time we’re gonna find out he’s really someone else. I know a lot of people will pass their judgment already after one scene,… Read more »
So far I’m liking GH right now. I’ll suspend reality about Silas Clay…just love Michael being back, and the Q’s, Griffin, and Brad in Drs. Mayes and O’s faces. Wonder what O’s problem is? Is it more that usurping her authority, or something else? I really had some comic relief with the breast feeding court case, and the Crimson comeback. Love to see Alexis and Diane in court. Have wanted Maxie and Crimson to help add a little glamor to Port Charles. And it gives something for Nina to do. And now with Val and the PI, Julian will get… Read more »
Well said.
GH has been really good since the start of 2016.
I’m enjoying GH more these days too Rose. I love Matt Cohen and am wondering if he’ll play the good doctor to balance out the good from the “evil” or not-so-upstanding characters…which is part of the role Patrick played. And the good guys ARE needed! Or, will he be involve in a total y different direction… As you already know I’m completely happy Michael’s back and I feel from the little I’ve seen I’m going to love his character… It’s been great having Monica back and her presence should be required! The mystery oh Helena and Laura’s invovement ala the… Read more »
I’m going to wait n see, I’m not sure they should of made him another doctor but let’s see what happens. Maybe most of us are stuck thinking he’s better suited playing a cop but it’s not fair after only one episode .
quirks, oddity, flamboyant, delves in to his own inner sanctum
defines himself as creature of habit…
snap out of it… if Ava and Hayden are in your realm of manning up
Is he supposed to be a Bond villain?
Classic Michael Easton. I like the pet! I loved the way, Finn said “Go on”, so pleased Michael is back!!!
btw- I’m hoping Finn will interact with Nina. I always found Michael Easton had this great ability to balance out Michelle Stafford’s random quirky side. Looking forward to what I hope, is a “reunion” of sorts for Michael & Michelle.
So far, I have been enjoying this new Dr. Finn character too.
I liked the way Hamilton Finn carried himself. He appeared arrogant, but it was subtle.
Totally agree
I really enjoyed Hamilton Finn’s introduction in this episode. Welcome back Michael Easton.
There are still a lot of “conspiracy therys” floating around out there about who Hamilton Finn “really” is.
I hope he’s jus Hamilton Finn and NO ONE ELSE!
I don’t want another evil Cassadine who’s Nathan’s daddy or some other far-fetched character. Let him just be a doctor!
I know. I do not want him tied to Helena or Ashton or whoever. I hope he had nothing to do with Tracy’s illness in the first place. I’m hoping the lizard isn’t his own personal laboratory for evil serums. Please (writers) just let him be a cookie, quirky doctor and build new stories from that.
I need to see more before I can comment on his character.
I agree!
I’m happy to see Michael back on the show. I was not happy with the reptile gimmick because I don’t like “wacky” on the soaps. I was disappointed that the characters all referenced Finn’s resemblance to Silas. It would have been a cleaner entry to just let it go unremarked upon. If the other characters treat him like a brand new character with no baggage it’s easier for the audience to accept him – unless the resemblance comes into story play later. This quibbling aside, I think Easton is a valuable asset to the show and look forward to seeing… Read more »
@ Mister Media, I too had hoped that the resemblance to Silas would have not been addressed by select characters, thus far. Like you said, perfectly, “it would have a cleaner entry to just let it go unremarked upon.” Oh well, what’s done is done. Happy ME is back, too!
I just can’t shake the feeling that the ridiculous name and the eccentric choice of pet was the sum total of the thought put into this character…
He is a Cassadine and love love love it!
Aside from the fact how silly it is when the other characters casually mention how identical he looks to Silas, who was told how identical he looked to McBain…, I just have to believe they’re breaking the wall to let us in on the joke. But!!! I absolutely LOVED seeing Michael and I totally believed him as this mysterious, dark-seeming doctor. I didnt get a sense of Silas. Michael looked great, seemed like he’d gained some weight (he seemed thinner than his usual thin self as Silas). He had swag…attitude…. love the new role and Easton. Soooo glad he’s back!… Read more »
Rebecca…If this is what it takes to get MIchael back on GH, I just decided to have fun with this, too. And when you look back at some of the other storylines and characters GH has given us over the years, the new Finn/Silas/vampire look-alike (with no explanation so far), fits right in with Casey the alien. I’m still holding out some hope he is a Cassidine who went to med school.
Lol…I’m open to all possibilities Rose. I really felt a rush when he appeared. Just something about this actor that evokes joy…even when he’s sullen, somber and dark! Go figure!
I can’t take this show seriously anymore.
In a word Stupid !
Well intriguing. .jean passanante has a strange knack of writing a well rounded doctor with a strange name. .i.e. reid Oliver who came between luke and noah on atwt..a smug smart-ass know it all. .and that will be Hamilton Finn this go round on gh so don’t be shocked when you like him/hate him. .lol
OK-
some are believing that Finn is a Cassidine..
I wish it were true but do not see how that could be now.
Finn’s backstory has been established by Monica.
Her knowing of him and meeting him. Finn is now established as an renowned expert on infectious diseases..
It is a long road in the medical field specializing to become a Doctor of his high stature..
That being, then his being a Cassidine is extremely farfetched.. lol
(( I mean–psssst what kinda Cassidine is that, anyways!
Is he from Shriner’s Childrens Hospital?
Amazing how he looks like the dead Doctor who looked like the vampire who looked like the detective from Llanview. I find it a bit amusing they would name that iguana Roxy (as in Foxy Roxy), and diagnose Tracy with brain worms on his first episode. Let’s blame the worms on Mexico! I’m already looking forward to Easton’s fifth character.
hey Joe..
wouldn’t it be 3 characters??
Easton; GH–
John McBain (short lived Prospect Park lawsuit..
then–
Caleb alter ego of Michael Morley (alternate identity)
Stephen Clay (alternate identity)
All ^^^^ the same 3 guys
Then Silas ..
LOL 🙂
He also started days of our lives in the 90s he was on it for about a year . I think he was twins? Tanner and Janner? Don’t really remember details?
Lol…agree Joe. I noted “Roxie” too…a nod to Foxy Roxy. Funny!
Hamilton Renee Goldsberry (Evangeline) who stars in the Broadway production of Hamilton.
Hi Olivia…you might be right as to why they chose Hamilton. From what I recall Michael and Renee became good friends on OLTL. I mentioned this on another post but I met her in an organic marjet in Manhattan…she’s very nice.
For su0000: Easton played: 1) Caleb/Stephen Clay. 2) John McBain. 3) Silas Clay. 4) Hamilton Finn. When they kill off Ham Finn, he’ll probably come back for character #5. That’s what I was referring to. I think Easton may have a soap record for the most characters played on one soap opera.
Joe is right
I thought the first scene with the dragon was a it odd, but I liked his interactions with Tracy. He was confident, clear on his knowledge, and had sense of humor, unlike Silas. I’m just so glad that ME is back on screen… I will wait until his character is fleshed out before worrying too much.
Wouldn’t it have been cool if he was Dr. Rick Webber, Jr. That would’ve made more sense for Monica to call him. Or, he could have been a Hardy. Maybe he’s a Cassadine? I just want some tie to history. We have too many characters now that have no ties to the show (Nina, Liesel, Franco, Jordan, Curtis). History matters. It’s a great way for the audience to connect with the character even more.
I agree – history does matter! These are all great ideas; hopefully one is in the works.
Not watching, but my twitter feed was all about the lizard, not him. “Roxy” is the most-buzzed-about new character GH has had in years, lol
Now both GH and Y&R each have their eccentric, not-typical new doctors…and they are both Michael’s. Love Y&R’s Dr. Neville , especially with Ashley. And so far I’m liking Doc Finn. Hope GH and Y&R can keep up writing good stories for both of these talented actors.
I honestly cannot believe that I’m watching a show about a f*****g lizard. Such poor judgement; such a waste of time and talent. Long live….ahhh, screw it.
Oh Roxy is a service animal. That’s great. Of course we all want to know what service Roxy serves!
Well if you are going to have a Doctor with a lizard, love the fact they honored OLTL by naming her Roxy. Finn is definitely creepy so he just may last especially, if he’s really Valentin. Sorry, but every time that I see Michael, all I can think of is John and how much I still miss JOLIE and OLTL. ABC, it’s ridiculous that you can’t get those rights back and resurrect the best soap ever. Still so disappointed. So missing JOLIE, Vicky, Bo & Nora, Blair and Todd, Roxy, Jessica and the list goes on. These are true characters… Read more »
My goodness Gentry, you are pulling at my heartstrings! Loved , loved Jolie on OLTL? Can we have Melissa Archer join Michael Easton on GH? I would be thrilled..
Heck yes those two are magic and need to be reunited again!
Has there ever beeen a lesbian kiss in a soap? (Christina and Parker)
OLTL should be resurrected, it was the best soap on daytime. Somewhere along the line the writers and producers lost their way and forgot about the show’s ground breaking history.
Awesome to see the great Bearded Dragon pet lizard on TV! They make great pets and until you meet one it’s hard to understand. So easy to care for and so portable!
Roxy needs a Beardie Bag! Don’t be dragg’in that dragon…carry Roxy in style!!
