Gering to ABC?? A month after Galen Gering was said to be transitioning to DIRECTV in August, a source close to the original cast member says he might not be sticking around for the move after all.

"Brian Frons, President ABC Daytime, offered him a job very recently," says the source. "It doesn't seem as though Galen has signed on the dotted line with DIRECTV, so he might be jumping ship." Gering's contract negotiations with the soap through the past eight years have notoriously gone down to the wire.

According to a setsider, the group heading to DIRECTV signed two-year deals. "If I do another soap, it would be in L.A." Gering has said, So that leaves GH and it's spin-off. "If it's a soap," winks the source of Fron's offer. At press time, a spokeperson for Passions assures, "Gering is going to DIRECTV."

SOW

Not so fast: Despite an official Passions release announcing he would continue with the show on DIRECTV, Galen Gering reports, "I haven't actually signed anything. I'm not sure whether I should." A show rep declined to comment but reaffirmed that Gering was set to make the move to DIRECTV. How long he stays, however, remains to be seen.

Wont be missed By me. He's over rated anyway.

I wouldn't even rate him. He's just eye candy.

""If it's a soap," winks the source of Fron's offer"

What does this even mean? Um, it's not even a complete sentence!`

WEIRD.

AS for Galen, stick with family. Stay in Harmony. And why shouldn't you?

It could mean that the offer if for a daytime game show or talk show.

LMFAO, oh god, stick GH with him.

That won't happen. ABC won't do another talk show. There is no money in a network doing its own talk show. Syndication is where the money is at.

LMFAO, oh god, stick GH with him.

Not that I want him there but Galen is close to Greg Vaughn and Jason Thompson. I could see him jumping at the chance to work with them and going to GH.

GH can be blessed with his talents. LMAO That's great. Bwhaha.

I hope Galen doesn't fly the coup. When he left Passions before he was definitely missed; at least by me.

If you read the whole part of it you'll see that they meant if it's even a soap he'd been offered. They meant it could be something else.

If he joins GH, who would he play? A new love interest for Sam? for Georgie? for Skye? I bet for Skye. Maybe a long lost relative of Lorenzo's?! Maybe a Lorenzo re-cast?

He usually is difficult at contract time but I really have a feeling he will bolt. That is why when he was on the list of those staying I was shocked. Sounds like Passions jumped the gun. GG is overrated but he has a big fanbase and losing him would be big. I have a feeling he may be someone for either OLTL or GH but I have no idea who he would play.

I am not big on him but I love Luis/Fancy so this would upset me a bit.

Um, that sounds like SCOOP to me. How do you know this? Where did you hear it from? How close ARE they with each other? Dish?!

As a Lucy fan, I'm devastated.

And if this comes to pass and Galen's a Greedy Galen, then I hope to GOD they kill Luis off that show. You just can't RECAST that role. Sorry, guys, who wanna make fun, but Sheridan and Luis (back in the day) were the John and Marlena of "Passions." That role is HIS just like the Sheridan role is MAC's. Others my do the role some form of justice (as seen with Kam's stint as Sher), but Mac is SHER and Galen is LUIS. It's that simple.

I'd prefer that GG stays, but if he doesn't then BUH-BYE! I'm not one who thinks that certain characters/actors make or break anything. One hottie goes and another hottie is brought in to capture the hearts and attention of fans. It's that simple! Soaps do it successfully all the time and this would be no exception. For the record, I'll be sticking with Passions with or without GG. And if he's always this difficult at contract time then it sounds to me like they should just say BUH-BYE to him and move on by hiring a string of newcomers. It would be the perfect way to give the show more of a new beginning so to speak. A combination of old characters with a string of hot, sexy, interesting new characters and it'll be GALEN (LUIS) WHO?
