I’m sorry I don’t like ME on Gh at all

I am fine with him being Silas on GH. Delighted we got RH and that worked out for me

I will never get over what ABC FV and RC tried to do to OLTL

John was a bore on OLTL, but on GH he really came alive. Its to bad. But, Il take him anyway I can get him on GH! Im glad he did not return to OLTL. OLTL is a big mess. I can’t wait to see what GH has planned for him & the others, people need to relax & give them a chance.

PP really screwed these people over. I know it’s business but it still sucked. Now Todd, Starr, and John would have to be played by other people.

i’m not liking silas either, and this is the first time i’ve disliked ME in anything.

Not a fan of Silas….but I don’t think I’m supposed to like him.

I definitely think the whole situation could have been handled better. Those three actors and us fans are the real losers in this equation. All the powers-that-be acted childish IMHO.

all I can say is, I quit watching GH shortly after the latest incarnations of Franco, Kiki and Silas arrived .. I had reached the limit of my patience. They are NOT the face of GH for me. I want to see the Scorpios, the Jones, the Spencers, the Quartermaines, the GH families! I’m just watching OLTL online now, and I love the way Roger Howarth is able to do both shows. Todd&Blair are back to being the way I remember them. I hate what Natalie is turning into with John gone. Desperate for a roll in the hay with Cutter of all people, and we never see her little boy, Liam. And JOHN! Why did GH and OLTL have to go and make John such a POS .. cheating on Natalie, NEVER to see his son again .. that is NOT the John McBain I remember!

GH sucks big time now. Earth to ABC and Cartini- wake up before it’s too late.

I agree with what ME says. It’s about time some fans stopped whining and let Cartini flesh out their characters.

I’m giving all three characters a chance because I love my GH. It’s seemed slow to warm up to them but I think we’re getting there. Super actors/actresses.

I just watched a little of OL.I liked ME on both shows. I like Silas,I know he is a doctor and his darkness is because he is an oncologist. Dealing with death, lots of death and with kids. So if he acts like he doesn’t care I see why. he is not on enough to eat the show the way the others are. Kiki I couldn’t care less. Stay go .? RH go I have never liked him in any role. he does eat the show he is on to often in to many shows. I didn’t enjoy his beating, I also didn’t feel poor Franco. he went from a gang rapist, to a evil lunatic. The devil incarnate. Franco has no redeemable qualities and he needs to go. GH has lots of great characters of their own, and I would like to see more of them. Not the mob.

Im happy with all three actors on the show its not their fault that the show isn’t integrating their cast to the best of their ability, the show just needs to utilize their cast better & not leave stories hanging. It’s a simple fix . It’s not brain surgery.

I love and miss ME, but will not watch GH, they are on AbC and they royally screwed up. Not only did they cancel OLTL in the first place for The Spew and Katie (How’s that going for you ABC?), but they wouldn’t work with PP so both shows could enjoy the actors/actresses. ABC wants in all or nothing which screwed the many OLTL fans from having there original Starr & John back, seems like they really enjoyed doing this to us. Love watching OLTL on line and just as good another time around on OWN (Oprah’s network). Happy 45th One Life to Live!!

Have not watched GH in 2 months after 37 years. Too much behind the scenes drama with PP and ABC. I still wish GH so much success. However, loving One Life to Live and All My Children right now on OWN and HULU. I am so glad they are on TV even if it is for only ten weeks.

(My comment on Logan’s page) was that Michael Easton certainly makes it clear which side his bread is buttered on. Michael is a smart guy and clever with words, but this is a one-sided view of the ABC/Prospect Park situation from one who chose a side very early on. Congratulations to Michael Easton on doing what was best for him, however, no need to regret John McBain’s blaze of glory. There is still plenty of fire to burn for that character, and the actor who chooses to play him, on One Life to Live.

I’ve been a soap opera fan all my life, and have ben a fan of Michael’s for a log long time. He’s being as gracious as he can be, without getting into trouble. Like someone else said earlier, I’m giving all three of the actors a chance. I like this new development between Ava and Silas, and it could be the reason Silas is the way he is. Anyway, with so few soaps left, we have to continue to give them all the support we can. Except for that crazy bitch Sharon on Yn R.

I miss John McBain period…..This situation could of been handled better that could of worked out for all parties. I hate that he just disappeared. I hate what GH did with his storyline when he first came to PC. I did not find it that believable since when he was on OLTL he was all about his son that GH seemed to ignore.

I love Michael Easton whoever he plays. This was not the actors fault and I just wish people would go with the flow. There are twists and turns to this story because I know Frank and Ron. I am 100% behind them and they have done nothing but bring me happiness for many years. I am just happy to still be able to see the OLTL 3 everyday. Go GH!!!

He is a working actor who is probably happy to be working. As soap fans, we need to be happy we have our shows, even if they sometimes are not perfect in our eyes. GH long was disappointing to me — too much mob darkness — but I stuck with it. I think the anniversary reinvigorated the show and I hope the energy and attention to history remains (although I have a low tolerance for the sci-fi Cassadine elements and constant resurrections). Still, we are going to have new characters… The centerpiece of GH is the H, a hospital, a transient place by nature.

Im just glad all three of them are still on the air and I think they are all doing a great job with the new characters.

I have not really been watching GH and when I do I fast forward a lot. I did watch regularly when they first brought John, Starr & Todd on. I found I really liked the McBain character better on GH than I did on OLTL. On OLTL his brooding was just too much. The character seemed to have a little more life to him on GH. Cannot judge Silas just yet….but not jumping for joy at this point.

I do not like RH as Franco. First, the character was just awful to begin with and should have been left dead. I like RH as Todd, but am disappointed to see that Franco is now Todd-lite. I now that RH can do better…he was totally different on ATWT as Paul. He just seems to be rehashing Todd as Franco now.

HATE Kiki. I have always thought KA was a talented girl and she always did a wonderful job as Starr. But, Kiki is just annoying.

Bottom line….I think the team of FV & RC either need a shake up or really need to refocus themselves. The ideas are old and they are not bringing their A game to GH at this point.

situation in any work environment are usual..
The 3 are employees and not property of the fans ..

I see great thing for them as their new characters in GH. it has only just begun..

Things in ever ones life change, and there to be change in all lives, the 3 will be fine, its only been a couple of months, they will own their new characters soon, give it time..

I am loving Silas !!!!!!!!
A great character and made for ME ..

ME couldn’t spend his life in the John McBain persona, he needs to explore and grow ..

I love GH–so I will give all 3 a chance to prove themselves and do not like that they could not come back to GH with the names and characters they were when the left.

I don’t like his new character at all. Would love to see him back as John on oltl anyone else playing John won’t be the same.

I would like John McBain to come to GH. I don’t care for Silis at all.

If you are all so disappointed in the way that GH is portraying the new characters and don’t really like their storylines then by all means stop watching but before you do just think that if you give up on this program then you should give up on all ABC programs…………..the network is doing all it can to keep everyone happy yet you are all playing the blame game for something we all know nothing about………………are we all involved in the behind the scenes goings on? not to my knowledge…………………the way I see it at least the actors have a job to go to everyday and they are still in the publics eye……………..whether you like the characters or not, it really is not a reason to stop wathcing all the other characters that you have come to love on any shows that you tune into…………….I will keep watching GH and all other programming that ABC has to offer…..don’t get me wrong I was totally devastated when the network cancelled OLTL and AMC but I can understand why they did it………We live in a reality based world of tv and that is just something that we will all have to deal with.

The problem with the characters is that were shoved down peoples throats and out of everyone character Michael Eastons is the one i like the best It is not Prospect Park they owned the characters and if he wanted to play john so bad why didn’t he go to PP and play him like roger did. What the actors do is their business but pp owned the characters and they got what they owned. ABC are just acting like spoiled babies. New characters have to be introduced gradually for audiences to accept them not shoved down peoples throats. HOW DO YOU EXPECT PEOPLE TO REACT! I hope they recast your character— if you don’t want to play him give him to an actor who does. And I DO NOT WANT THE CHARACTERS ANYWHERE NEAR ABC RON OR GH — so they can destroy them again leave them with Prospect Park and move on with the 3 new characters you have.

I do like Easton (preferred his original GH characters, to Silas). I’m really over Kiki and Franco–next!

i am a fan of michael easton & i support him in any role he plays………
i knew all that crap i was seeing on line was not true – so glad he finally spoke up & set the haters straight……………

Loved Michael Easton,as John McBain on OLTL,and on GH! Since he’s my favorite,I’m giving him the chance he deserves playing his new role as Silas Clay. I was never a fan of GH until Michael,Roger,and Kristen came to Port Charles,now I love it! Keep up the good work Michael,you are a very talented,and handsome man!

Has anyone seen Silis Clay on GH the past two weeks? Acting a lot like Lieutenant John McBain gone undercover as a doctor. Silas Clay is not an enduring character and will not last. Shame on Ron and Frank for destroying the integrity of John McBain.

John McBain is one of the most important characters on OLTL. He is critical because he always interacts with everyone and no one better than Natalie. He has been the heart and sole of Llanview since 2003. Jolie Rocks. No better SOAP couple since Luke and Laura. JOLIE has had the best stories and adventures.

If OLTL wants to succeed, they need Michael Easton playing John McBain. Prospect Park needs to do whatever it takes to woo him back. I know Michael doesn’t want to uproot his family but why play a mediocre role that won’t last when you could continue to be the star of OLTL. No one had more scenes in the past ten years nor was involved with more characters.

Look at ten years of JOLIE clips on Youtube. Chemistry wise, it doesn’t get any better and it’s Ratings Gold. Michael, please reconsider and come back to NY. Your OLTL fans love and miss you.

I love Michael Easton. I remember him playing in “Two” almost 20 years ago. That’s when I first saw him on tv… Even though it took me a little time to get used to Michael paying Silas Clay on GH, he’s such a terrific actor that he actually made me forget about John McBain. I’m glad he’s on GH and hope he will stay for a long time !

I am glad he said what he said… they do deserve abit of time to get into these new characters. What is unfortunate is that each of these three new characters are so unlikeable and for me unlikeable translates to I don’t care about them or the stories they are in. Th most unfortunate is RH recast is the ile and disgusting Franco. At least with ME/Silas I am seeing that his character has a mutlitude of possibilities… he is tied to new and old characters and is looking to be the most intriquing if it is written well and if ME handles it well. I am happy for the three of them that they have jobs in this economy and network jobs are better than what PP is offering. There is a HUGE opportunity at the moment with all of these people getting DNA tests all at once! There is also a huge opportunity that the main characters handling the DNA tests are Silas, Ellie and the vile and disgusting Brad! I can only hope that RH is determined to not be Franco based on DNA and we get to see RH morph into a better character… one that has some potential to be interesting and someone we can care about. As for KA/Kiki… I like KA but I am not liking Kiki and maybe when she finds out she is not Franco’s child hopefully she will become a better person and I hope KA gets her groove and we see more of an interesting and complex character develop. I agree about too much of them at the moment… part of that is probably to give them the chance to work, to develop the characters, to fuel the story line… that clearly has them tied together and most likely there is a reason why the three are all unlikeable characters… it must be a part of the story line. I could see having one or two be unlikeable and characters that we don’t care about but all three and all at once… there has to be a reason for so many new unlikeable characters in the mix at the moment (Franco, Kiki, Silas, Brad, Taylor, Morgan, and Britt). They really make you want to see more of Tracy, Luke, A nna, Duke, Carly, Sonny, Ava, Mac, Felicia, Laura, Scotty, Lucy, Kevin, Nik, Maxie, Spinelli, Olivia,Dante, Lulu, Patrick, Emma, Liz, Same Alexis, Rafe, Molly, Felix, Milo, Sabrina, Helena, Heather, and even Connie! I think we must be on the verge of something very good and very interwoven and complex… and I can’t wait!!! Would love to see Robert and Robin even if they are not in PC!!! For me it still is the number one soap and is my first and foremost watch… because of the stellar cast and the majority of the characters!!! I will keep hoping and cheering them on for all of the good things they do and I will join in on the unfortunate when they… Read more »

Michael Easton is a class act I so wish oltl and pp could have worked things out so he could be online and on TV. I for one miss John and and Natalie and Liam. He and Melissa Archer will always be my favorite couple.

Sorry Michael I don’t think RC is doing the best he can. Silas is not a bad character but after he cures Danny there is no reason to stay same as John. RH being Franco is the reason I’m not watching GH right. Franco and Kiki were on every day and other characters that I want to see are on the backburner. Not good. Hire a new writer ABC and then I will watch again .

It’s 1 p.m. here, have to go and watch reruns of the new OLTL on Oprah’s network! Miss you ME, but not GH at all.

Im just happy ME was able to come back to GH where I think he belongs!

I glad he is here now on GH!!

(NOTE) RC……..

GIVE SILAS and SAM A BABY GIRL!!

SHHHH! Dylan is having a baby with that (CHICK ON CBS)!

So disappointed with the PP/ABC issue . Unable to tolerate the “new ” characters for Alderson, Easton and Howarth. Happy to see OLTL again, however I am so disappointed that Cartini decimated so many OLTL characters and relationships. This is especially true for John and Natalie fans. Easton and Archer are magic together , truly golden. Would love to see Jolie and Liam again as a family. One can only hope!

I understand there are many details we are not privy to, however the ultimate success of these stories is dependent on the fans and with the way things are now I refuse to watch GH. Enough is enough!

I don’t think many of you actually read the interview with ME; you just want to complain! And I don’t think many of you understand that ABC and the GH writers/producers LEGALLY had NO CHOICE but to create new roles for the “Llanview 3” and that they couldn’t keep ME as a cop and simply change his name to “Jack McVeigh” or something like that; they would risk even MORE LAWSUITS!

So instead, they are making ME a doctor, which is a noble profession, just like being a cop is! And for all of you who complain that RH is playing Franco, a psycho, um, wasn’t Todd Manning a RAPIST? And didn’t he try to also rape NORA? And to rape Marty a SECOND TIME? And didn’t he do a bunch of other horrible things? Yet somehow everyone managed to overlook all that because you find RH’s portrayal of him redeeming somehow. That’s what the GH writers are now trying to do with the Franco character-he’s becoming a lovable yet reprehensible character. And wasn’t Starr Manning kind of a brat at times on OLTL? Well that’s how Kiki was at first, but now she’s becoming a bit softer, just like Starr did as she grew up! It’s just more accelerated on GH because the writers are tired of all the naysayers and haters!

And for those of you who say “UGH I’m never watching GH again because they spend too much time on this one or that one,” then why are you reading about GH on this blog/website if you’re not a viewer anymore 😉 ?

Mr. Easton, would love to see you “reconnect” with your OLTL family.

Ditto. OLTL and JOLIE forever!!

the situation wasn’t the greatest, but I like him on GH, whomever he plays, and yes, Silas was jarring to begin with, which is a testiment to how well he was playing an annoying -no bedside manner- jerk of a doctor…. but I’m warming up to him as the character is showing more caring, little by little. I have the feeling that whatever went down between Silas and Ava is the reason he was such a jerk … and now he’s becoming more of a character you could like.

same for kiki and franco. I like the actors well enough, I really don’t care who they play, I just enjoy watching them and I’ll go along for the ride for them as they work all this out.

and I miss their old characters, they’re still on my old OLTL tapes and lots of youtube episodes, so they’re never really gone.

Michael Easton was made for the role of McBain .An oncologist, no way. The raw, broody cop with the steely blue eyes and the vibrant, fiery Natalie that knew how to push his buttons. How great would it be seeing them raising their son? Miss them like crazy!

My resentment goes back from the day they arrived as the OLTL characters. The way he was introduced and the character assassination of Jason and Jason and Sam as a couple, not to mention what they did to Carly and Michael to fit these people in an established show. And the way the writing is.???? Its horrible and sad what has become of this show and the fact that the media, soap bloggers, and soap mags supports this writer and exec is so beyond me. The show has some real problems, and there’s not one media outlet that is willing to call it like it is. When you have drop in ratings, twitter going crazy filled with resentment, hate for what has happened to the show. I have watched this show for over 30 years and this is the worse its has ever been. I also have resentment from the actors, execs , writers and soap bloggers, soap mag writers that feel we are haters or not really fans, or we should suck it up because its a soap. Just once I would love for some media to call this show out for what it is.. Michael Easton, IMO based on his answers doesn’t really like Silas, but is going along because he really has no choice. It was also clear to me that he may have wanted to go back to play John McBain.. The fact that they have him right back in Sam’s orbit tells me, they had this agenda from day one.. The man has absolutely no chemistry with Sam. Caleb may have had it with Livie, but John McBain/Silas and Sam have nothing. I think the damage was done on that one.. But they are so persistant to have ME and Kelly Monaco together. Its also my opinion that even the actors themselves think that whatever they had in the past is gone. I think based on his answers that he’s there to fill his contract.

Ron and Frank,

You need to let Kelly and Michael go. They don’t have any chemistry. Stop forcing it. It’s such a joke.

Michael, please return to OLTL. You have smoking hot chemistry with Natalie and you are integral to the show’s success. It feels so empty without you and the police stories lack excitement and adventure. You bring that to the show as John McBain. You are this girl’s hero. Not only because you fight for everyone you love, always try to do the right thing, but your enduring love for Natalie. Please come back!

The Jolie story is not finished. Michael and Melissa can knock this one out of the park. Are you listening PP?

JOLIE and McBain fans,

Please continue to speak out. Hopefully, Prospect Park and Michael Easton will hear us. If Michael Easton returned to OLTL, I think OLTL would absolutely take off and be a huge success. Then Prospect Park would be able to afford to hire some more vintage characters back and create more vintage Llanview sets.

Prospect Park, Michael Easton playing John McBain is worth every penny and Michael, John McBain always steals the show, especially with his true love, Natalie. Please come back to One Life to Live!

I too would love to see Michael Easton and Melissa Archer together again. Let’s face it Cartini destroyed them on G H and all for what? Jolie fans realize Michael and Melissa’s potential and want to see them continue their story with their son as a family. PP if you are truly want our feedback here it is. BRING BACK JOLIE PLEASE!
