Liberty City

At this point bring him in and bring Jill Phelps back in... because it's clear, despite their grievances, they didn't give two shîts what the network wanted, and fought against it... more so than Valentini. Varni has to go, too.

I just knew, given his Locher Room interview and other interviews, this could be a case of "I'm doing what I want to do," and it did not bode well. I'm also hearing a few things, but won't disclose. But this is a MESS! Absolute shît show, especially during Sweeps month.

I just don't think the match of Mulcahey with TPTB at General Hospital & Disney-ABC was a match in 2024.

What the absolute fück is going on at this fücking soap?! You don't hire a name like PATRICK MULCAHEY, saddle him with a co-head writer and then fire HIM after five-months of writing. This has to be the quickest turn around of writers in forever, and I can't even process this. Honestly... I think Disney-ABC, Frank Valentini & Nate Varni did not realize how much of a "no" man Mulcahey would be, and it was off-putting. They clearly didn't like that she was starting to shake things up... and they clearly want the ass-kissing of Sonny & Carly, and then for Jason to return to the mob. It's all so off-putting. You don't hire a name like MULCAHEY and then fire him in five months, and then keep the previous regime for YEARS. This is mind-numbing. I give this soap a year. I'm kind of done with American soaps, honestly... I'll watch as a supporter of General Hospital (the only American soap I watch), but both Australian and English soaps go above and beyond, in terms of so much.

I can't recall if they did, either... but again, I wasn't sold on the pairing, any way. Even Ava & Nikolas had a low-key wedding, piggy-backing off of Nina & Valentin's aborted wedding ceremony.

Curtis & Portia were not an event wedding. Sorry. Hell, even Curtis & Jordan weren't an event, despite Kiki's murder, haha.

I mean, I have ideas... but I doubt they'd be well received. Oh, I never have. I remember being real opposed to her, and then realizing how sad I was she left. When she pinch-hit for one-day last year (?) I was so happy to see her again. She had that natural pizazz Brook Lynn always kind of had, but also that maturity she needed to grow. My guess....? Carly & Jason had a decent turnout, but event-wise? I think Brenda & Sonny, maybe?

DAMNNN

This would make me care more... but, it won't happen, unfortunately.

Finally getting into solid classic General Hospital... beginning in January of 1991. So rich. SO rich!!

NGL, loved this era when it was clear adults were playing the teens, simply because I feel like today's teens look too young, and it's uncomfortable to watch.

Now we're gunning for Drew Quartermaine? Is this how we're growing the Q name? 🙄 And, per usual, Maura West has undeniable chemistry with Adam Harrington. Whew.

Cynthia Watros vs. Maura West is everything I have wanted since Watros joined General Hospital. So much more intense and worthy of airtime in comparison to Michelle Stafford vs. West. My guess? A backup incase something went wrong...? Who knows. I feel like this commonplace now. Instead of hiring new people / re-hiring former writers (Mulcahey-style), this was likely a fail safe, via Korte's request.

They really said, "Fück the 'soft' and just reboot."

I have ideas... but I still think recasting Lucky is a heavy task.

They were pre-SORASing of Lulu with Berman.

Yes. Stephanie Allen played Lulu from 2001–2003, and Tessa Allen was Lulu from 2004–2005.

How about the original scores from the '80s and early '90s?

Honestly, that's part of the allure of wanting Miller as Lulu: having both Abigail's on the canvas, and just how cheeky it could be. But, in reality, I've wanted Miller on General Hospital for some time now, even pre-dating Kate Mansi's casting as Kristina (and I casting I quite like). Miller has that ethereal look that I adore, and her acting style just suits a soap opera, but would also suit Lulu as a spitfire Spencer, which is who should return post-coma (way past due). Plus, Miller has rapport with the General Hospital cast, so I do think she'd fit in quite well. And, visually, she just suits the role (from my POV).

I don't believe so, but it's clear there is going to be an intent for him drinking... at least, from my POV, which could lead to a spiral and [hopeful] exit. Hence why, realistically, he should've been a Nathan recast, instead of a new character.

I'm so glad you've brought this up. I've done the math. Casting Miller would de-age Lulu, yes, but it would de-age the role closer to what her actual age should be in real-time, and technically, Lulu is meant to be 35 years of age. Introduced in 1994, and her "birth date" was revised to 1988 with the casting of Julie Marie Berman, who is aged 40. Emme Rylan (aged 43) is the one whose casting kind of shook things up a bit. To me, Miller would be the PEFECT casting for Lulu, talent-wise and appeal-wise. She has that spitfire that Lulu needs back, and I know she'd shine opposite Genis Francis & Dominic Zamprogna.

Marci Miller as Lulu is all I am asking for.

Ted King to The Gates? This could be exciting!

During a Zoom, York did previously mention he'd be back by May, so I'm happy that came true!
