Bring g it on Susan and Michael, Take a leap of faith and see if you still have it. Would love to see you both.

I would LOVE to see Michael E Knight on GH! As Tad or a new character, just get him back on daytime ASAP. Come on and make this happen!

NOOOOOOOOOOO stop with this nonsense…..why doesn’t ABC listen to the fans and just bring back All My Children and One Life to Live……General Hospital is a show about General Hospital…..the citizens and characters of GH and Port Charles…..not Erica Kane and Tad Martin and Nora Buchanan from Pine Valley and Llanview…….stop stop stop….this is craziness!!!!!!! GH has 50 years of history and stories, does not need more characters, especially characters from other shows to take up space and air time…..Frank V doesn’t have good stories for the characters he has now, why would he add other characters from other shows…..he needs to step down and a real Producer needs to come in and fix the show!!!!!!!

Yes…visit…also want Dee Ryan to show up and visit Ava in jail!

I would love to see Erica, Tad, or any of the OLTL characters visit Port Charles…but not until the show hires new writers who will give the characters good material worthy of their talents.

Yes, I would love it! I miss these characters as if they were family. It would be nice to see them for a short visit.

I think I’d enjoy this if the characters appeared in short story arcs, kind of like guest appearances.

0hh dear gawd…
going backwards, again..
It’s like dancing to the oldies with Erica Kane and Tad Martin , Disco baby!
Why not get brand new exciting new something different new never done or seen before new, like new stuff from the 21st century new world of media stuff..

Anyways I liked the that guy on Y&R, so cool with that..
But I’m not ready for the Queen of Camp, the diva, that’s too much campy even for me ahaa!!

but hey– It can’t get any worse so why not ..

They need to be careful with Erica. She’s not a GH character and made All My Children what it was. Don’t want to ruin her character with some stupid storyline. And just what Frank Valentini said about messing with the GH brand. I do think she and Scotty could get something going on! He could be her 11th husband or however many she had!

While I’m sure it would be fun to intermittently have visitors come to GH now and then, the extremely rich history and characters of All My Children and One Life to Live will NOT go away. Agnes Nixon created something very special. The alphabet network needs to stop beating around the bush, admit and correct its huge mistake. Merge All My Children and One Life to Live into a single one hour program. They can take over the production facility that Prospect Park built.

The character of Erica Kane doesn’t fit the vibe of General Hospital at all. And the show doesn’t need another goofball character like Tad Martin — they already have weird Finn and weirder Franco. Enough already.

Yes, yes!!! 1000 times yes!! I started watching Young and Restless just to see Michael E Knight in his temporary role. To see him again as Tad… YES!! I miss AMC so much.

For a short run to augment some current GH storylines, I wouldn’t mind it at all. You’re talking some iconic soap characters here, who wouldn’t want to see them drop by Port Charles, provided as Frank said it doesn’t infringe on the GH brand. If it would make the AMC and OLTL fans happy to see some of their favorites again, and if it benefits GH, I’m down with the idea.

Does anyone at ABC stop to wonder why Y&R is so popular? It’s because they are giving their fans what they want…LEAD stories involving their core family characters who have been there for generations. GH lost that with the past 2 writing teams. They’ve flooded GH with characters that GH fans are not invested in and taken away good LEAD stories from most of the favorite GH characters.

It’s gone on to the point where GH is not even GH anymore. They’ve got to stop this idea that bringing on characters from other shows is somehow going to bulk up the viewership. They need to WRITE for the GH characters that carry on the legacy of GH and STOP with adding more characters that belong from other shows. This is supposed to be GH, not a variety soap show.

No, no, enough already!! Does Frank Valentini truly not realize that he long ago infringed and quite possibly wrecked the “General Hospital brand”?? Frank should explain himself: In 2017, what exactly is the “General Hospital brand”? The show is so far removed from its glory days of the early-mid ’80s (or even the late ’90s) it’s hard to believe that it’s the same show.

Imo, he and those two past-their-prime female head writers are doing a poor job coming up with interesting stories that move along for the characters the show already has, especially the vets. The show does not in any way need even more characters/actors from other soaps (especially cancelled ones) and newbies that fans don’t care about taking away valuable air time!! It’s utterly ridiculous!! Time for him to go and get some fresh blood in that can actually fix and refocus this show back to its roots before it’s too late.

I know that AMC and OLTL are missed by many people, but many times, it’s just far better to let things rest in peace. GH doesn’t need to be any more of a dumpster fire than it already sadly is.

I would watch La Lucci read the phonebook!!!!

Absolutely not! There are way too many characters on GH now as it is with not enough screen time for any of them. I agree that ABC should just bring back AMC and OLTL instead of trying to squeeze more into GH. In the long run it will backfire.

This would be great for a hospital story. Erica could be booked to speak at an event and her bus is in Ana accident. We all know that Miss Kane does not like being in the hospital. Talk about chaos and temper tantrums………this would be fun. Now Tad would be a great diversion for Nina. I also think David on the scene with Ana would be great considering their history. What is there’s a third Ana child (Leora) is alive and been in David’s mad science lab.

That’s very short-sighted when they don’t have room for their own vets on the show. Bring back Wally Kurth, Tristan Rogers and Ian Buchanan on contract, full time, with story then we can consider guest appearances by some of these other non-GH characters. Honestly, I’d rather see Emma Samms or Jack Wagner do guest appearances because I’m sure they cannot do full time, contract work and they are a bigger draw to GH fans.

And if these actors don’t accept such a deal then fine, but I’m sure at least two of them will accept it. The entire FV excuse for not being able to give fans what they want and require is that there’s not enough budget. And I’m sure a guest appearance by Lucci will not come without mega-dollars attached to it.

It’s negligent, at best, when they’ve got icon Genie Francis on maybe twice a month with her love interest and GH vet played by Jon Linstrom. We hardly see their love story developing. They are beginning to take vets like Kristina Wagner and Jackie Zeman off the year-round backburner so there’s slight improvement which I applaud but I don’t see Lynn Herring much outside of the Nurses’ Ball and I don’t see John York outside of weddings and funerals. I really feel those improvements are due to Jelly and not Frank at all.

Let’s remember GH is also known for stars like Rick Springfield and John Stamos, the latter which RC got into a terrible public argument with during the 50th anniversary resulting in his not appearing on the show so we don’t need to rely on non-GH big names as a draw. I’m not saying I need to see those big names whether GH affiliated or not. I’d rather use the actors who’re more dedicated to GH and with current ties on the show. It’s not like it’s the 80s and we can get Elizabeth Taylor to play Helena Cassadine. Let’s be realistic and save money for story purposes and actors that can strengthen the core GH families.

Susan Yes, Michael No. However would love to see Jill Larson go over for either a short role as Opal or maybe recast her as Betsy Frank. That would be a sight to see.

I’d love to see any of the characters from OLTL and Jessie and Angie or Tad and Dixie from AMC. Cady’s main squeeze, Jon Lindstrom, is already on GH. Just don’t ruin the integrity of GH.

Just because you can doesn’t mean you should…

As much as we may love the actors and characters from other ABC soaps, I don’t think that GH should incorporate any additional such characters onto their already bloated cast.

I think we are better off remembering the beloved AMC and OLTL characters as they were. Besides, my formerly favorite soap, GH, would taint these characters. GH is known for stunt casting, followed closely by casting aside the actor. The 50-year anniversary of GH brought quite a few former stars to the show, only to put them out to pasture in due time.

Just look at the fiasco presented by introducing 3 OLTL characters into GH since the demise of OLTL. Because of legal issues, the characters had to be removed. Then the actors (Kristen Alderson, Roger Howarth, Michael Easton) were reintroduced to GH as new characters. It just became too messy and farcical. The writers had to become contortionists to plot the changes. And can anyone keep up with all the characters on GH played by Michael Easton?

In addition, let’s not forget: when these ABC shows were running concurrently, there was ratings (and other) competition among them. Sure, they were a part of the ABC “family,” but the competition to achieve higher ratings, Emmy nominations, and buzz was palpable.

Let’s just have some respect for our former shows and not bastardize them any further…

If anything there have been comments about GH not doing enough with their vets and core legacy. And I’m so loving Tracey, Monica, Olivia and the rest of the Q’s idea to buy the hospital ….fits right into what I think Edward might have done. And solves that nagging left-alone-story, about the clinic Michael was going to build in AJ’s memory.
So instead of “diluting” GH anymore with more characters, no matter how memorable or not, like to think our OLTL and AMC friends have been on a long vacation, and are coming home again. Don’t mind a few dropping into Port Charles on their way back to hopefully at least 1/2 hr shows of their own again, picking up as best as possible main themes where they left off, with new material being added to reflect the now.
The bonus to ABC is that you will have new-again, forgiving viewers in an otherwise tough afternoon schedule.

And yeah, lets have Joe Namath play quarterback for the Jets again! ITS OVER! GH is GH, AMC was AMC and OLTL was OLTL! Keep these people off GH! PLUS, the writers they have on the show right now would FLUCK everything up!
