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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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

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……………

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 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 are… but… I will continue to support them and hope that they will be around for at least 50 more years!!!

Thanks for sharing the interview Michael!!!

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 .

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

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!
