It gives one hope of a OLTL revival, doesn’t it? Still one of all time favorite TV shows.

and hopefully they’d skip over that dreadful storyline from the online version! seeing trevor’s face there just reminded me of the beginning when he got loose from crazy allison and ran for his life, ended up in the hospital waiting room with the rest of the family and there was no reaction from any of them. guy was shot “dead” and suddenly reappears and absolutely no reaction? worst writing ever on that web version. glad i get a bit of my oltl fix watching john easton and roger howarth on gh. oh, and james paveva and the gal who plays… Read more »

ugh; the online version was the absolute worst!!! there wasn’t one thing about it that I liked. With that said, I always find it annoying that characters never seem to have a reaction when someone pops up after being presumed dead. After a few facial expressions and conversations, it’s done. Remember the two Todds on ABC? Even then, when Roger came back, there was barely a reaction. And poor “Todd 2” LOL, Trevor St. John. Vicky, Blair; they all just tossed him out as if they hadn’t loved him for the last few years. Worse treatment (or at least comparable)… Read more »

My most favorite Day time Drama – EVER !
It would be grand if it could be revived,sadly I don’t think that will happen.
I’d be very happy with a one-off or stand alone (those seem to be popular),episode.
Or perhaps a 3-part arc of “where are they now” ?
Miss these people !

Marsha Hubel

YES!!!!!

I was sad when the show was cancelled. Still holding out hope for General Hospital to bring the 2 actors they have employed (Roger Howarth and Michael Easton) back to their former OLTL characters now that ABC won back the rights to the show and it’s characters. The characters these actors play on the show now are ok but not as exciting as they were when they played Todd and John.

Guest

Jimh

Yes…rather have John and Todd-bored with their current characters…we never found out who was watching Starr after her accident??????

Guest

Jacob

I always assumed it was Cole … I’m sure Ron would have gone in that direction had the characters remained on the show.

Guest

rebecca1

I don’t think playing those characters would be the same on a different show. For example: I loved “Nora Buchanan” but on GH she does nothing for me. The character seems different, she’s out of her element without Bo and friends, etc. I love Roger as Franco. I can’t see where Todd would fit in on GH without Blair, Vicki, Starr, etc. Same for McBain. No Natalie? No Bo? Would rather remember them as they were… 🙂

Reed

Hey Rebecca, replying here because I couldn’t above re: James DePaiva’s creepy turn as Dr. Bensch…although he may be hitting the mark if they’re trying to “Weinstein him,” as he takes just a little too much interest in mentoring young Kiki. And if I may be permitted a creepy moment of my own, what was the bigger disaster, the earthquake itself or that dress they had Kiki in for the wedding? No great loss to the wardrobe department or actress if that got ruined during the shooting of those scenes! Yikes, that was hideous, and only Haley’s incomparable beauty could… Read more »

It is amazing that so many people still actively miss OLTL, as I do. No soap can compare with the excellent family storytelling that OLTL delivered. It would be wonderful to see it again but truthfully it would never be the same.

Guest

Iakovos

I loved OLTL too, moreso in its earlty and midlife, before storytelling got too wacky and contrived. Any revival would not be the same, that is true.

Guest

jimbo

I watched OLTL back when it was a half-an-hour, black-and-white and came on right before “Dark Shadows.” When it ended, I tossed my set. If they’d bring it back — even for a few episodes now and then — I’d go out and buy a TV.

Guest

Sassy Duck

jimbo. I remember that time, as well. I was teaching school and got home just in time for OLTL and then Dark Shadows. What fun times they were. Dark Shadows was so campy, but I loved it. From time to time, you would actually see the shadow of the mic boom on the screen. But, I loved the characters. That was back in 1970, for me. Was sorry to see it go off the air. OLTL became one of my favorites. The characters and storylines always kept me riveted to the screen. Unlike you, I didn’t get rid of my… Read more »

I sure do miss OLTL, and all the characters. I almost did not recognize Trevor St. John with those glasses in the first photo I looked at, I really did love that show, and was so sad when it ended. Hope all is doing well.
xoxoxoxoxo Everyone looks great!

I have never stopped missing this show. Please bring back OLTL!

jaybird369

I look at it like this: IF and WHEN a OLTL revival does happen, don’t let that DIRTBAG Brian Frons get anywhere near it.

Just saying……….

Guest

Margo

Brian Frons was fired not long after he executed OLTL and AMC.

Guest

jaybird369

Margo…true. B-u-t…as far as I’m concerned, that man is capable of anything negative or self-destructive. Yikes.

Take care.

So wonderful to see these talented people again. I miss One Life to Live everyday. The finest daytime drama with the finest cast ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guest

Terri Skarzynski

I completely agree it was the most consistently fun, heartfelt, and wonderfully acted soap I miss it !!!!!!

Guest

Celia

Yes, Terri….It was also the only soap which gave great storylines to teens–Starr, Danielle, Langston, Jack etc…..and the much younger crowd…..

Guest

Trish

OLTL was a truly great show, but don’t most of those people have other jobs now? How much of the cast is left to repopulate Llanview?

Guest

rebecca1

I doubt it’ll ever come back. I think they just had a “reunion.”

Guest

terry wexler

I truly hope that oltl could come back ! Ending the story of Victor and Todd so abruptly when it would have been fabulous back and
Forth between the two “Todd’s” getting along with the family and finally giving Vicki some brotherly love. I miss the whole. Crew. Great cast good acting!

Guest

terry wexler

I miss the show a lot. WAtched from beginning. And juswhen you had the two “Todd’s”
Victor and Todd together the story ended just giving us a taste of brillance and deprived us of Vicki signing in desperation over the Todd’s behaviors! Miss Blair and her love hate with Todd. And start and her love for her dad’s

Guest

Jacob

OLTL was always that show that was on between AMC and GH but I grew to love it over the years as its own thing. I watched in the Marco Dane/Karen Wolek years. So good. The trip to Heaven was just about the best thing I’ve ever seen soaps do. I loved all the Max and Luna and Marty and Todd and Nora and Bo stuff in the 90s and loved when they had theme songs for everyone. The AIDS Quilt stories is one of the best the show has ever done. The show lost me for awhile in the… Read more »

Jacob, well said. And GH was so lucky to have Gerald Anthony’s Marco for as long as we did. He left us way too soon, but what a talent! He and Jane Elliot were such a comedic force. And as for OLTL (or AMC) returning, you make a good point about a “back door pilot” to test the waters. While I wouldn’t want to dilute GH in an attempt to relaunch one or both shows, organically weaving characters into the GH canvas makes sense. Giving us someone we already know and identify with is a much easier sell with greater… Read more »

Guest

Jacob

Thanks, Reed. Yes, organically! Nora’s appearance was great – they could have used a day player lawyer, but they made a great choice to cast a known character even if we unfortunately didn’t get any crumbs as to anyone around her (Bo, for example). I always thought Crimson and Enchantment would be natural partners (Kendall comes to Port Charles for a few days to close a business deal). And yes, good point about the clock ticking. And GREAT point about all the reboots these days and how it seems a natural thing to then extend that to a soap. For… Read more »

rebecca1

Funny; I didn’t enjoy Nora’s spot on GH at all. I was looking forward to it; one of my favorite characters on OLTL. But as I said in a comment above on this page, the individual characters out of their “element” without any of the other characters just loses something for me. It was the “relationships” I enjoyed. I loved the Buchanan’s. I loved Vicky, Clint, Bo, Natalie, Jessica, Renee, Asa, etc…I loved Bo and Nora. Todd and Blair and/or Tea. I will admit when I first heard three OLTL characters were coming over to GH after OLTL was canceled… Read more »

Guest

Reed

Jacob, I’m with you on all fronts. ABC was such a champion of the genre, even devoting an entire network to it via the former SOAPnet, which may have been ahead of its time, given the present-day reboot/nostalgia craze (i.e. the dearth of creativity we now find ourselves in). A re-launch as a true `a la carte offering or streaming channel would probably be more viable today, given our viewing habits, platforms, and propensity for binging. The thought of those endless hours of entertainment just waiting to be mined and why the networks can’t figure out a way to monetize… Read more »

Ashton Arbab Says Farewell To General Hospital: “It Was Such An Honor To Have Worked Alongside Of Such Talented Actors”

November 24, 2020

Yesterday, viewers of General Hospitals witnessed that as a result of the bomb explosion at the Floating Rib; it meant the end of the road for a couple of characters. One of those was Dev, and thus ends Ashton Arbab’s over two-year run in the role.

In key scenes, Dev dies in the ambulance ride to the hospital and thanks Sonny (Maurice Benard) for making him a part of the family and tells Sonny to tell Josslyn (Eden McCoy) that he is sorry. Will Sonny recall what Dev said and pass that on to Joss? Will anyone figure out Dev’s duplicity in keeping Joss and Cameron (William Burton) apart? Stay tuned.

Meanwhile, Ashton took to Twitter on Tuesday and shared these words of praise and ‘thank you’ for his time on the ABC daytime drama series.

Arbab expressed: “I am forever grateful to Producer Frank Valentini and Mark Teschner (casting director, GH) for this amazing opportunity. It was such an honor to have worked along side of such talented actors and I’m beyond blessed for your friendship. Most of all thank you General Hospital fans.”

So, what did you think of Dev being killed-off? Will you miss Ashton? Share your thoughts via the comment section below.

Mark Lawson Shares Heartfelt Sentiments As He Exits General Hospital

November 23, 2020

General Hospital fans knew Monday’s episode would bring with it who might have survived the explosion at the Floating Rib, and who might still be in peril or who did not make out.

This afternoon as viewers were learning the fate of several characters including Dustin, who was proposing to Lulu (Emme Rylan) as the bomb went off, his portrayer, Mark Lawson took to his Instagram to announce his exit from the series.

Mark expressed: “Actors know this moment is bittersweet. Job well done, but leaving a set full of like-minded, inspired people. Playing Dustin was a joy. Every day on set was a gift, as were: Emme Rylan, Kirsten Storms, Brian Lane, Dominic Zamprogna, Lisa LoCicero, Maurice Benard, Bradford Anderson (And others that don’t have social media!) Thank you General Hospital. Honored to be part of television history not only on this show, but to be among the first actors back to work in town post-Covid. The set always felt safe, and I was proud to be in front of the camera in such a strange time Thank you for everything. Stay soapy.”

Check out Mark’s post below.

So, are you sad that Dustin is no longer on the canvas in Port Charles? Will you miss Mark in the role? Comment below.
