I knew you would eventually catch Stevemania! Dylan was a brutal Y&R character BUT when they wrote him off, he got to show his acting chops! Steve has been great with Ava and even Huxley has been palpable. I do not look forward to him seeing Sonny and Carly. It will be too sweet and too many bro moments! MY Third Musketeer is Spinelli! I cannot stand him and he will blow a gasket when he sees Stone Cold! Sam, there are TWO reasons I like Sam, no just kidding, I like her. She is more tolerable to me than Liz.

That’s an intriguing theory, jimh! I never watched “The Prisoner,” but I am aware of its premise! However, you are certainly not alone in your efforts to infuse GH’s current storylines with such a creative and logical aspect, since a number of us have previously sought inspirational clues from classic dramas, literature and world history to explain various mysteries, even though I suspect probably none of our breathless suppositions will actually bear much, if any, fruit.

you made me laugh…. rollingly so

it just took me by complete surprise.. that GH is THAT ( fargone ) to invest so much time in Steve Burton

already his eyes look tired

I’m one of five people I know that’s been watching GH for the last 30 years or more. We don’t have any concern that it won’t be around for the foreseeable future.
What’s the matter, did somebody steal your lollipop?

I’ve been watching for 54 years, I think it will still be goung in 3. However; recycling actors as different characters does stretch the limits of what even loyal fans can endure. Steve Burton IS Jason, period.

David, I appreciate your input.
I guess this is a case of killing the messenger? Or maybe more like cursing the weatherman who gives a forecast one doesn’t like?

That remains to be seen

as … long … as “Drew” ( Billy Miller ) breaks OUT of the dullard Corinthos orbit… then I wouldn’t give a damn what … Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco… do

there are enough – uninteresting – characters on GH.. that adding back in .. SB and KM … does not matter.

THE WRITING SUCKS

just , for the love of God, make Drew the missing twin… get his memory back… and lo and behold … he’s a doctor. he’s been missing all these years.. and yes, playing Jason

we can let that go… and it will have to mean a break up of : Billy Miller and Kelly Monaco. so she can go and hide behind Steve Burton.. who made her a star. gave her longevity at least.

IF , I F , if … GH has any smarts left

they will – bank – on Billy Miller as the reigning Quartermaine and give BM the free range to ACT .. as we all know he can. GOD , enough comments have been made… that he’s just not their. he’s trapped with Maurice Benard and Laura Wright… he’s more than a pretty boy toy… he’s no fool ? no? he wants to act… and recall his rise to the top @Y&R . GOD

let Steve Burton and Kelly Monaco.. go back

let them toil squander and WEAR the matching black outfits.

let’s watch a renewed vim and vigor at the GH hospital… and yes.. it’s going to be a reckon… with “Drew” Liz and Griffin.. and Dr. Bensch.

where are all the women @GH hospital… ok bobbie is enough.. still ?
GH simply has to fire Micheal Easton. Finn is a nonessential.

I agree. Steve is Jason and Spenilli gave him the perfect nickname of stonecold. He made that role and plays it to perfection along with Maurice as Sonny. I am glad he is back!!!❤❤

LOL! Burton has the “right to return” but not as Jason! He IS Jason. The idea that Miller is somehow owed the character when he’s totally miscast and a total flop is absurd. He also only signs one year contracts and would leave for “greener pastures” in a minute if he could. That’s unlikely though as his “great acting” is a figment of superfan imaginations. Maybe he was good on Y&R, I don’t know, never saw him. But Miller swallows his words, mumbles his lines and has no range of expressions. He’ll be at GH for a while and not as Jason Morgan.

@MB –  Yes yes Yes – thank you

I’ve posted oft enough –  I haven’t seen Billy Miller – since – Y&R

your post reads “perfectly”

“… his “great acting” is a figment of superfan imaginations. Maybe he was good on Y&R, ”

if GH doesn’t give BM at least a try @Drew as a doctor? just to get him out of … the Sonny and Carly show.

perhaps BM superfans may never get that want. I’m at “last” feeling this way now, about Nina. they are so close yet so far.. because of the friggin stinking writers.

I’d like to see Michael Easton on the chopping block.

I wish Sonny and Carly dead

i’m certain we can all agree on a right turn.. somewhere… the clueless Shelley and Frank, know by now their poop stinks

In any case … “LOVE YOUR last few lines”

“But Miller swallows his words, mumbles his lines and has no range of expressions. ”

is this not close too ? Stone Cold ? two for the price of one set of twin

what is Monica to do ? Robin Christopher for the heat and sensation

in any event : how far does Franco the nut up get with his new found lings ?

it’s always an interesting “charge” when a superfan gets another shot

I never watched Roger Howarth on OLTL. when he showed up @GH as Todd…

WITH Connie. this turned everything for me. I knew what fans meant. naturally, I fell in love

when a soaphopper scores. and it’s vanquished because of that law suit.

this is a great opportunity to flesh out and give Billy Miller and Roger Howarth some new tunes… dance

it really stumps me that @GH writers … give Franco these quirks and oddities… like being so afraid of losing Liz.. and acting jealous. at least this is the last reel we know. I like that “twin” portrait. it’s adding dimension to what could be RH . give him something to hold on to. so that other characters can appreciate him . show him building and gaining character.

if I never get to see BM outside of Sam. what a LOSS.

as for Steve Burton. all I know is his quiet masculine stature. and carrying out order.. and romancing Sam just enough to keep them

oh god.. heres to seeing that mortorcycle back. LOL

this trio of ; is at least far better without Carly and Sonny

I think there is room for both Steve an Billy as well. The only problem is that Steve IS Stonecold which could put him back into the sphere of Sonny and Carly. And I have just had enough of their dominating GH. But what else can a Stonecold do? Just can’t see him going back to pre-accident days and becoming a doctor,

He did to me and Billy is a great actor on his own. Three Grammy’s to prove it. Doesn’t need Steve to help improve his acting. It’s all about the writers and how good the story is. Both he and Steve work well together.

If he leaves it will not be because Steve forced him out. Steve said that Billy was awesome actor. He always signs a one year contract everytime because he’s interested in primetime and if something comes up he wants to make sure he’s tied down for too long.

Works for me but that leaves Franco out in the cold.
On another note, am I just tesy and cantankerous or does Kelly’s manner of speaking get on anyone else’s last nerve?
She mumbles in a monotone so badly that I sometimes need to put on the subtitles feature.

Seriously people first off Steve coming back is the best thing that’s happened to General Hospital in years!!!!! And really…..!? Sam belongs with the real Jason….so let them be together and Liz if something happens with Franco ( I love Franco by the way) let her be with Billy Miller!! I love Billy Miller also!

Yes. Except I don’t want Liz with Steve either. Tamara Braun is coming on. Let him have her she is connected to the storyline.

Except Billy supposedly had his face entirely rebuilt after Ava ran over it in a stolen SUV. So they will use that as a reason to explain why Drew (Billy) looks younger than Jason.

It’s probably the most believable part of this whole twin story actually.

@Steve.
Hey, Steve,
When I brought up the age difference between the two “Jasons”, you sort of nullified my comment by saying that Jason’s 2 youthful appearance was due to his plastic surgery?
Have you changed your mind? Do you now think that Jason 1 and Franco are twins?

@Celia

No, I’m sure that Franco is the spawn of Scott and Heather. I just found Harry’s theory to be funny.

I do wonder what was in the Moore family background to give both Jasons their innate ability to fight. It didn’t come from the Quartermaine side. Yes, Alan tried to blow up a house on Monica and Rick, but he wasn’t a fighter.

Correct on all three counts, Nancy! I’ve repeatedly noted that Ava has overstayed her welcome in Port Charles…there’s too great a sense that this character has already run her course, so it truly does beggar belief that she should experience yet another shot at redemption regardless of her most dastardly past deeds. Ditto for the cougar-themed rerun in which she is now co-starring with Griffin….her May-December rumpy-pumpy with the witless man-child Morgan was certainly bad enough, but this soulless creature sinking her unholy teeth into a lapsed padre’ of “The Church”—especially one so obviously her junior—is downright distasteful at best, and utterly disgusting, at worst. (If Griffin had to fall for an older woman, it should have been Anna…at least their connection would have been emotionally and romantically satisfying, not to mention, understandable!) As for Dr. Munroe’s seemingly simultaneous career paths in the medical and religious fields, I can only surmise he must have been a child prodigy who enjoyed a most youthful running start on his college education.

That’s hilarious. Add to that, she gave birth to the second twin 9 years after she died. If Soap Dish can bring back a deccapitated character, why can’t a dead woman give birth 9 years later?

Steve, I tend to visualize things too much, maybe you do as well.
I just pictured the doctor telling Susan,”Okay, your first baby boy is doing great and the other one is on the way.” Nine years later……………..

I can’t think of the name of it, Nancy, But I think Steve Burton was in a prison drama movie. He was good in it. always thought Burton was a good actor and really underrated.

Brubaker done in 1980 filmed around Tennessee where SB eventually moved it starred Robert Redford and the late James Gandolfini SB was a priso guard I think.

Kay, Brubaker was a great movie but Burton was ten when that movie was released. Redford was in another prison drama movie called,”The Last Castle” which I think came out in the mid 90s and also starred James Gandelfino and Steve Burton.
The late and great Gandolfini praised Burton’s acting prowess which was really high praise coming from him.

I know Harry I have both movies n my files! sorry ! Thx for correcting me ! As for the character of Jason the only reason I would want Billy to really be Jason is to see egg on Sonny’s face he has treated BM on and off screen classless!

Like you, I haven’t given up on Nik’s return.
And, yes, Max was a bit shady on OLTL–but not completely. And I’m hoping he will have shades of gray on GH. More interesting that way.

I remember now – it was with the Soprano’ the late great.. and sexy

James Gandolfini

admired and loved him

@patrick JG has the kindest soul I ever knew and he was not fake I am watching the Sopranos I miss him so much!

I was wrong see above Last Castle was the movie! Thanks Harry for setting me straight! Just got the movies confused but hey they both starred Redford !

Who the Hell came up with the insane idea that Jessica Tuck would be Helena’s mostly mute “daughter” Cassandra, who was running around Wyndemere half naked well into a NY state winter?

That girl was the dumbest plot point Garin Wolfe wrote, and that’s saying something, giving his sickening obsession with turning the entire Spencer family into chemically addled arsonists. But she was in her mid 20s at most, while Jessica Tuck is clearly in the upper 50s. There’s no possible way in Hell that they could be the same person.

BTW, they never did bother to explain how Helena would have had a child who obviously would have been born after Mikkos turned himself into a popsicle.

Sure somebody else could have been Cassandra’s father (Faison maybe?) but then, she wouldn’t have been a Cassadine, and wouldn’t have had any rights to be squatting at Wyndemere while Nikolas was out of the country, and Helena was a resident of Hell (in between her escapes… let’s just say we tightned up the security in the Cassadine compound after that last round of “vacations”)

@Satan
The concept of making Tuck Helena’s daughter was probably wishful thinking by some to try and connect another new character to a long term family. I agree “the lady in white” storyline was beyond dumb, but Wolf was let go before it wrapped. It was Carlivati who made her Helena’s post-menopausal daughter and killed her off all in the same episode. He obviously wanted to wrap it up quickly and clear the deck for his stories. Tuck would be believable as Helena’s daughter, unlike the original actress.

Wolf also made Monica a sudden alcoholic and was planning on permanently killing off Robin.

They do not have the guts to tell a gay storyline on daytime they did on NBC but everybody else is scared
