Wait, he's helping them create his character? Say what? Who fired Jean Ron and made him HW?

SO exciting! But I wish he was back at GH!

It would be revealed that Luis Alcazar is alive, the Balkan and out for revenge against Brenda for leaving him 8 years ago

Damn! Finally a hot guy on OLTL with presence who can ACT. This show is moving slowly in the right direction. Nice.

This solidifies my belief that Easton is on his way out.

I'll be surprised if he actually has a relationship with her, unless they make him a psycho. I think this is more to bring the character in.

I hope you're right. Blair is poison to male characters just like Cristian is instadeath to female characters.

WTF cares?! I have more faith in these actors to come up with decent story than these recycled hacks.

Wow, another man after Brenda. Because there just weren't enough yet. No thanks, I'm good with this. KDP's carried almost the entire current contract cast at one point or another in the last 10 years (excepting Strasser and Slezak). She deserves a Ted King from time to time.

I sort of feel like they are what the show makes them -- I really liked John/Blair and the show threw that away for John/Marty. I liked Natalie/Cris, but even if Fumero hadn't left that probably would have ended. I also enjoyed Layla/Cris, but the show didn't want to give Tika story.

I hope he is a good guy and pair with Blair. I am tired of Blair getting F'd over by the TIIC! She is a great character and actress.

If this is long term, I can see OLTL getting rid of Cristian, Gigi, and Brody.

Christian has been useless since 1996! DITCH HIM.

Oh Marceline, your theory about Michael Easton would be icing on the cake!

He cannot come cheaply, so someone is gonna be leaving.

I like Brody and I hope he will stick around.

This solidifies my belief that Easton is on his way out.

I think someone should give you a few good slaps for giving us all false hope. That's just cruel and quite sickening.

LOL. I'm no John/Easton hater but he is just there for me so I wouldn't mind! Just put Jessica and Natalie with Cristian and Brody and be done with it! And I don't even know who I'd want with who in this case.

Good point. Nevertheless, I don't think it's the actor's job to help create his/her character. Certainly, once the actor begins playing the material, and the writers see on-air how they are "responding" to it, they (the writers) can adjust their vision better to suit his or her strengths. However, a character's initial conception should be solely the domain of the HW(s). This (the EW article) is just making me see "storyline control" and all other red flags in regards to TK's deal with the show and ABCD.

(Plus, there's the fact that I detect the slightest whiff of shoehorning an(other) actor into a new show strictly b/c of his popularity on another, and not hiring him/her because the new show has created this character already, and they believe he is the best one to fill that hole on the canvas.)

No orgy then? OR, you know, polygamy is all the rage these days.

It's Ted King, people. I'm not seeing the downside unless the haterade is just that delicious.

For me, the "downside" is that Frons has once again foisted one of the GH/PC darlings upon OLTL b/c he simply has no faith in the vets' ability to draw audiences again. Believe me, every criticism we make against Michael Easton/John McBain right now? We'll be doing the same about Ted King and "Luis" very, very soon.

How do we know Frons did this? And doesn't Blair need a love interest? The character's been around since 1991. She's a vet.

Luis was his GH character. It's not this one. And also, Ted King is actually talented.
