Members Wendy Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 And the very early announcement of this proves to me that GH knows it sucks and is doing anything to raise ratings. (Good luck with that.) Emma Samms is returning as Holly Sutton-Scorpio. She starts taping at the end of April for May sweeps and her stay is open ended: http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/03/emma-samms-retu.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AdelaideCate007 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Emma Samms to return to 'General Hospital' EW has learned that fan favorite Emma Samms (and her alter ego, Holly Sutton Scorpio) will return to General Hospital just in time for May sweeps. Samms, who started on the show in 1982 and was last seen there in the summer of 2006, starts taping at the end of April, with scenes set to air in mid-May, says a show insider. Little is known about her upcoming story arc but Holly will be reconnecting with a lot of the older characters, such as old flame Luke (Anthony Geary), as well as younger characters, including Lulu (Julie Berman) and newcomer Ethan (Nathan Parsons). So far, her other paramour, Robert Scorpio (Tristan Rogers), is not set to return as well, but "there's always a possibility that other vets will be returning," says the source. Samms, who also played Fallon Carrington Colby on Dynasty, is not on contract and her stint is open ended. http://hollywoodinsider.ew.com/2009/03/emma-samms-retu.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Eww, is Ethan going to be her son? Holly and Robert never got to have a child, and that mess is going to their child? Why? As if the last return wasn't bad enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Wendy Posted March 11, 2009 Author Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 Luke's newest Australian protege whom he met when the guy tried robbing the Haunted Star. And he knows Holly and has a picture of Luke and Robert that Luke does not know about...and has befriended Robin. And then...I quit watching, because the show sucks that much. So I have no idea what is going on now. But those are the basics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members brimike Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 I love Holly (80's Holly - not the mess Guza brought back a little while back), but this is just the world's worst idea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members CassieFan Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 YAY for Emma returning, but Chipmunk Teeth being her son is yuck. Recast him, please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 I like Nathan Parsons, but I'm sorry that he's going to play Holly and Robert's child. I'd much rather he be Luke's. Oh well. I guess it will be nice for Robin to have a brother. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 11, 2009 Members Share Posted March 11, 2009 What great news. Emma Samms is great and hopefully this Holly will at least try to blend some of the old Holly into the new Pod version. Emma Samms I will take over any of the recent returnees because she just is more fun than they are. Ok, I would take Sharon Wyatt over her, but Emma just lit up the screen in 2006 (and she certainly put everyone to shame at the Emmys). Between Helena and Holly, GH is sure to be entertaining this spring. As for Ethan, I think he is a good fit for the show, the actor is perfectly acceptable, and Tony Geary has really come to life recently. This version of Luke is a lot better than old heart attack victim Luke. If Tristan Rogers comes back, it will all be complete, and maybe, just maybe, these people can rescue Kimberly McCullough from her own terrible turn as a lead in a story. Fold Robin and Patrick into the Scopio/Spencer story coming (hopefully) and everyone comes out a winner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Love Emma Samms, but why bring on these vets for their big money stints when you've got other characters, like Bobbie and Monica, who languish on the backburner with nothing!

Members MarkH Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 Seriously, and we have all discussed this before, I think JZ and LC's "freakishness" is a turnoff for many viewers...so they are basically hidden from view. But GH is a case study in mismanagement, so one cannot assume sound decision making is at the root of ANYTHING on that show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjjg Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I guess we'll find out who Ethan's daddy is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tina m Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think if they want to keep this going with Ethan and bring on his mother, father and even Emma then they MUST re-cast him. This guy is an awful actor. But I don't think GH really cares what the fans think anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members quartermainefan Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 but isn't that they way so often? You can't get a raise or a promotion, so you have to leave the job for greener pastures, then the first job wants you back with a better title.

Members Y&RWorldTurner Posted March 12, 2009 Members Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don't understand why she would want to come back, given what Guza wrote for her the last time around. But I guess everyone loves to get paid... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
