agree. but I also like victor and would love to see him in port charles ,let the story of 2 todds continue,I thought it was a brilliant . and let tia find clues that victor is alive and let her also come to general hospital,the story of 2 todds is better then anything going on a gh right now .the one bright spot on general hospital was patrick and robin and now shes gone,Hopefully not dead.

Hey Curtis: Well you are correct about who the REAL Todd is, and of course he originated the role, BUT get ready for this, ANYONE with a brain knows that Trevor St. John is the BEST Todd, and for most we feel protrays the REAL Todd… LOL! I had to say it, BUT I’m just kidding with you, LOL. Because you are correct! Just was having some fun because sometimes at night when I get home (over a glass of wine) I LMAO from some of the comments people say on here to one another, and they’re serious too LOL, unlike me.
Footnote: But who knows, the writer’s could have come up with the role of Todd later, just in time for Trevore St. John. LOL They have been known to develop a character and not move forward on it immediately, sometimes for year’s. Naturally what I say about Trevor is subjective, bc I prefer him. The critic’s and concensus is that Trevor protrayed Todd BEST. I happen to agree. Have a Great day.

I have a couple reasons why I prefer RH over TSJ. One of which is the fact I am related to him. Never met the guy, never talked to the guy, but we are distant cousins. So I will side with family! LOL! Even though we are liked 3 rd cousins twice removed and wouldn’t know me from a hole in the wall. The other is that after I found out about him being on OLTL in 93 I believe, curiousity more or less got me to tune in. After I saw him play Todd, a character that morphed from what was supposed to be a temporary character to a “beloved yet reviled” character is all RH and his talents doing. TSJ, I must admit did a great job and I got used to him after awhile, but RH without a doubt gives Todd a more intense, complex, persona. I really wish they had kept Victor on and had them be like a more homicidal, whacked out, more devious version of the Ewings on Dallas. I think they both played well off each other. As far as the true Todd though, I’m gonna have to go with the man who made him who he is…Roger Howarth. Roger, If ur reading this…throw a distant cousin a bone amd hook me up with Bree Williamson. : )

Your the Greatest Curt. Honest about your opinion and WHY you prefer one over the other. And you know how to take a joke! Cause some folk on here ain’t joking at all…! I dont agree that RH plays him more intense and complex, BUT your know what? That’s depends on whose judging. I thought TSJ was as complex as it gets, BUT I like the idea you suggested with the two of them “homicidal, whacked out, mere versions of the Ewings on Dallas “. Thanks again.

just this morning ,I think it was at, t v line,theres something about general hospital ,they show the promo,anyway I thought that I disliked sonny ,someone said in there post that someone should put the fatal bullet in sonnys head and when that happens they will watch g h again, they lost alot of fans with those dragged out crime garbage stories,I know ,I had plenty of long naps when its on.I get pissed off at sonny, but I have never said that,but I got a good laugh out of it.

it was a good letter to wendy williams ,I knew you would like it,and I do love your posts ,we can agree to disagree and still respect the others view, and I like that.wasnt that letter good?before I even read the whole thing I said1loveabcsoaps has to read this.the writer was pissed off at her,and I dont blame her,I never pay attention to talk show people ,but you were spot on about her.

i have always look forward to see-ing what the ratings are, and like sonny or not,historically when they put him on the back burner the ratings go down,in the summer of 2005 when they put him on the backburner for the story of maxie and her late sister in the hospital,I forget what they were in there for,it was planned as a long term story,the ratings went down from the low 3’s to a 2.6 and the story was quickly aborted

I hate the mob stories,but I love johnnys father ,as I have said before,he has a way with words.And I do hope he is married to tracey ,I like them going back and forth with there nasty remarks to each other and throwing luke in the mix is fun to,its funny,and I like a good laugh in a soap opera.thats what I liked about ,yes I will say it ,one life to live.and I have to agree with heather, about sonny,all the dam stories hopefully will not all lead to him,the mob has to go ,not all of it,but 99% of it ,and john mcbain is the man to do it,he will get those bad guys and lock them up in jail,where they will stay ,sorry diane I really love you, but no more getting all the bad asses out of jail,sonny,jason,anthony,johnny,they have to change the way they make a living sonny can open a diner and hire roxie,johnny can continue to fix cars ,jason can go to med school and finish what he started so many years ago ,and anthony ,he can open up a port charles flower store,he has nice roses,hey 1loveabcsoaps,glad your back .

i have a lot of faith in the new E.P. he knows soap opera, and these networks are that desperate for ad revenue we soap fans have lived with squezzed credits,bring back the end theme music,it heigtins the drama…..

not any more, the mob/crime stories are a turn off for alot of fans,general hospital has lost alot of viewers because of the writers obsession with sonny and jason.I never left gh, I stuck with it ,but I was not happy with the stories ,every character was tied to sonny one way or the other.every day it was sonny this and jason that,boring.agree with you about genie francis ,she should never have been let go ,I feel when she was written off the stories ,for me ,were never the same ,she had a rich history in port charles and I cant understand why she was let go and the 2 times she did come back ,her stories were dumb,I say bring her back ,shes a treasure , and we have new writers now,hey you never know .

Can’t wait to see the new episodes. The only way Robin would leave her husband and daughter is by death. I completely understand it and am glad she didn’t die from complications of her HIV status.

Who knows, maybe she will return later and this will have all been a set up involving her parents and Holly.

I agree with you david,but I heard ,keep in mind a rumor, at ghh and facebook ,blair and todd may be back ,so dont count out our beloved manning family yet.general hospital has to change for the better,and ron and frank will do that ,just stay tuned.and I hope that robin walked off with a memory loss,they cant kill robin.the firefighter said the fire was so hot,thats my little spark of hope that she is still with us.

So much potential, but unfortunately no one has utilized that potential. I hope it changes soon, for the better. Sonny needs to go on a much needed vacation. I could go a good 3 to 6 months without seeing, hearing or thinking about Sonny Corinthos….LOL

first of all ,I would love to twitter ron ,I have several stories to tell him to use on general hospital.and I also would tell him that I am glad he is with general hospital ,but would much rather have one life to live back,but thats not going to happen,so here we go ,we are not evacuating the city of landview and moving every one to port charles,not going to happen at this time or ever, we only have todd ,blair,star ,and john heading to the big hospital,how does that hurt anyone? new families move to the soaps all the time,the mannings will be a new family.general hospital is sinking in the ratings ,the one life to live fans will head over to g h,hopefully,thats a good thing.now to robin ,I still believe she is not dead,but the explosion caused her to loose her mind and she walks off into the sunset,robin is such an important character on general hospital ,its wrong to kill her,I told you victor is alive ,well so is robin,I could be wrong but like you said ,if she wants to come back like emily did, and that did not work out ,we do not want a twin ,I dont care what anyone says ,a woman knows what going on and they are not going to sneak a kid out of you and you dont know about it ,when patrick left for that split second robin could have left ,and remember what the firefighter said the fire was to hot for anything to be left standing,it could have melted,that yellow cover means nothing,anyway,thats the way I would have wrote it ,no way would I kill robin off shes a loved, and very important character,Im keeping my fingers crossed shes not dead.also before I finish,where the hell was all the security,when that alarm went off? are you kidding me ,the national guard should have showed up along with several people working at the hospital,just a thought,maybe its because of robin,gave her time to sneak away,to hopefully come back in the near future.she will be missed.

I Twittered Ron I did not want OLTL 2.0, anything OLTL I don’t want.

The way the death was written was very off to me. Nothing about it seemed right. you’d think in a hospital explosion, everyone would be in chaos, not calmly walking around.

I didn’t think Ron wrote the Robin death stories…..I thought that was done before his stories kicked in, but who knows, I’m not for sure. As far as the whole Robin death story though…..I didn’t really care for it. It seemed very unrealistic….An explosion occurs in the hospital, and all the hospital staff seem to be walking around as if nothing has happened. Security, firefighters and policemen would have been there as soon as the alarms sounded off. I am a OLTL fan, so I’m tuning in to watch…..have never been a strong GH fan, but I will try and support it, and see what happens.

agree with you david.theres no way you can tell anything from that promo,looked good to me ,and no one was favored from one life to live .4 people coming to port charles ,and that bothers a few.I dont get it.Ive watched all 3 abc soaps,watched gh since the beginning,you would think they would want to see general hospital saved ,I know thats what I want,general hospital has been unwatchable for so many years ,it needs a change and how 4 people from landview that can ruin everything in port charles I just dont get it.I also need help in trying to understand ,what the problem is?and being able to see that in 2 episodes ,I didnt see anything that says one life to live ,at least not yet.general hospital will never be one life to life,it should have never been canceled ,if it was the soap that was spared,we would all be singing a different tune here.

It’s sloppy writing, I hated OLTL it was slow and sloppy. And now Ron is bringing the same to GH to send it off.

IMO Fiason got to Robin. She is very much alive. That is typical Ron writing. Leaving the door open………and it will be opened, if not thru the end of GH then if JT decides to leave. She will be back.

I would LOVE a visit from Vicki!!!!! 🙂

THEN WHY DON’T YOU TWITTER RON…. DO IT BARB!

Did you read what I said about you to Scott above at 11:25pm, and here U go again…. ” sonny can open a diner and hire roxie,johnny can continue to fix cars ,jason can go to med school and finish what he started so many years ago ,and anthony ,he can open up a port charles flower store,he has nice roses, ”

LoL. Funny! I did post yes’d that Sonny could do something else, other than the mob. We got to have some mob, because that’s Sonny’s persona, and what particially made him popular other than these gorgeous dimples and handsome dark looks. The Mob and it’s activity has brought G.H allot of male viewership, but the writer’s RUINED it with over kill. I wish they RE-VISIT the Brenda Sonny love story. She needs to come back and do justice to that story, EVEN if she can’t tape but TWICE a week for a 2 year run, OR tape her segments 3 weeks in advance just like they do when they are on haitius/ vacationing, BUT we don’t know bc the character is still being aired. Venessa can work something out. Hell, working like that, she can stay on for 3 years if GH last that long. But again, that would give Sonny alittle normalcy YET happiness with her True Love and give us the viewers what we what too. And HEY, if Venesa Marcil had to be away for awhile making a movie (although she ain’t that busy) they could always substitute her with Johnathan Jackson’s REAL LIFE wife, who played Hannah Scott, and show her in segments interacting with Sonny (in bed) and far away until Venessa returned from wherever. Therefore that keeps the audience Happy and Venesa wouldn’t be missed for her short term comittments. That woman looks enough like Venessa to get that off.

Its to late to twitter ron as far as robin goes,still I am hoping she is not dead.maybe ron came here and read my pleas ,dont kill robin.bring victor to complete the todd story ,I know I want to see it end or begin,and bring tia to port charles to.Im reading all these different sights that alot of one life to live fans are following the mannings and john to port charles,no ,I dont watch martha stewart,but thats a good thing, we need to raise the ratings.from what I hear abc is making a decision about gh in the next few weeks.hey did you go to daytime confidentcial ,the letter she wrote to wendy williams ,Its a real good read.janet hubert lets wendy have it about whitney houston .she saying everything you said,I fell asleep early ,I put my house tape on and thats it for me ,Im so pissed off that house will end in may,I love that show.and him.

No the writers are lazy with research, and think they can ‘sell’ to us whatever they put out. How disrespectful!

Hold your horses, those faces will show up from Landview. BUT don’t expect their storylines take off immediately. 1love.

In the event you are living in a cave, this show is hanging by a thread.
With the writing thus far this week, I see no change. Ron had his hand dipped in the ink months ago. Robin’s storyline should not have played out like it did.
I wasn’t calling you a dummy, I stated it was ‘written’ for dummies.
Take it how you may.

No of course you aren’t a dummy. That is why it bothers me when the writing staff shows no respect and throws out a mess. I personally don’t believe that Ron had no say so in the hospital setting scenes. He has been around. His advise had to be given!
That said, you are correct. I do have to give Ron time to put GH back together again.

I also don’t believe Robin is dead.

Ohhh Stop the todd, blair stuff. LOL
Where U been? I looked for you on line last night while I watched the NIGHTMARE of what I call the “Bachelor” .

One thing about me Barbara (and I’m glad you see this), when I speak about something, I have my FACTS in order. I could care less about winning the discussion. It’s more important that I’m speaking the TRUTH, based on the Facts. If I’m talking about something I Believe, or Feel, I will state “In my opinion’, so and so. Thank You for pointing out my being correct about Wendy Williams, and keeping an open mind about whatever the discussion, just like I told Scott that you do. : )

No I haven’t diappeared. I wasn’t on last night. I posted below I didn’t like how they handled Robin’s demise, and I listed 6 reasons why I didn’t like it. I dont know about anyone living in a cave, it’s hard to do that THESE days with texing, faxing, computer’s and Youtube. One thing about U, you take comments with a grain of salt. That’s what makes your post so pleasurable (dispite typo’s and your many coma’s) LOL because your personality shines through. I think Debi was saying that the writer’s took our judgement for granted concerning saving Robin. I dont know WHO wrote those shows, but WHOEVER did, it was a fiasco! I started reading the news on line while it played out to conter my fustration.

or when patrick wasnt looking, and he left for a split second,she got up not knowing who she is and walks off ,to return sometime in the future.the fireman said that the fire was to hot ,that was my clue she is alive .maybe friday we will see her get on a greyhound bus ,as we watch it drive out of port charles.hey anything is possible.

just call me cave girl ,according to debi ,Im living in a cave ,because I dont think Im a gh dummy or ill be honest ,or agree with her on the writers writing for the dummies ,at least not yet.whats tonight ? am i missing something here.or maybe ive been living in a cave for so long .I have no idea what anyone is talking about.what I do know is rons writing just started ,we have to see where the robin story goes ,to bad it seems to be leading to jason,sam,and Im sure sonny is right around the corner. patrick will give in , he has to save jasons life ,robin loved jason,and she would want him to save him ,tomorrow is friday,maybe robin will get on that greyhound bus and leave town.Im keeping my fingers crossed , and so are fred and barney.

hey ,is it time for your disappearing act again ? I hope not ,its friday and there will be alot to post about at the end of general hospital today ,hopefully we will all be in shock to see that our robin is very much alive or maybe not find out for a few weeks that she is ok.anyway there will be alot to say at the end of this day.

me to ,gloria ,me to ,now things should change ,ron is now in charge of the paper and pencils in the writing room .general hospital has to be saved .and it has my support.

I thought that was pretty unrealistic myself how no one showed up when there was a explosion. I heard the new writers tweeked Robin’s death story. Whoever wrote it I was not impressed.

hey I like barney and fred.

Barney & Fred? Cute. 🙂

I would like to know in what hospital are there emergency warnings that the doors will be locked?? In a lab?

I would like to know in what hospital when emergency alarms go off, personnell don’t automatically go to the area.

I would also like to know why we went from a catastrophe to having to watch Spinelli & Maxie. Or LIW with Ethan & Ewan. Shawn shows up at another man’s house with Carly in her robe and wet hair to confess his feelings to her? WTF were these writers thinking. Even Guza would have done better.

I emailed Mr Lee from GH. He is the force who wants GH to stay on the air.
He can forward my email to the appropriate people. I agree, Ron didn’t just show up for work one day. He had a say on how this disasterous of a story played out.

Very saddened and disapointed by this weeks show.

Barb: Get tonight. OK

I agree with u Christie I think Cole dies cause it said 4 onelife to live charcaters our heading to portcharles not five, I think Hope will die too that is why Todd is going after Sonny. Todd isn’t going 2 care if Cole just dies by himself. As 4 Star she will probably get with Michael later on and Todd wont like that. As for Robin it is sad she leaving but the way she died I think she will return later on because of the explosing, after patrick gets with someone else probably Elizabeth. Long time ago Robert and Anna was supose to die in a explosing and they didn’t they returned.I think Robert and Anna set that up it probably has something 2 do with Faison. I will be glued 2 GH now 4 awhile.
