Hahahaha! You're right. If we get lucky and she dies this week, next month I will pay homage to her with a nice collage of pictures spotlighting every single trampy, too tight outfit she wore in her tenure on the show :)...Oh wait, who am I kidding? I don't have enough room to post a picture from EVERY episode she ever appeared in!

LOL

oops, my bad... thought there was ground work laid for it this past week (since i was away, i only caught up today on my episodes), so i threw it out there... nevertheless, it will sadly be a minor story since it doesn't involve brenda or dante, so it's not even worth bringing up

I'm looking forward to seeing Sonny interact with Molly. I like the fact that they have a relationship, in spite of his hostility towards her father.

Although I never liked Rick, I must admit that he is sorely missed from the canvas right now. It would be interesting to see him being a father to Molly. It would also be interesting to see his relationship with Kristina. The only thing I ever liked about Rick was his step-father love for Kristina. They toyed with messing that up, when Rick was going evil again, by having him be a little cool to Kristina, during the custody suit over Molly. I remember one scene that made me cringe a little, but as far as I recall, they never took it way over the line and had him reject her outright.

And I would have loved to have seen the tension between Michael and Rick, especially before the recast. Drew Garrett vs. Michael Hearst would have been pretty cool to watch. Then again, I would have also loved to see Drew Garrett go head to head with Billy Warlock, had AJ not died.

I still can't believe they did that recast of Michael. That decision summed up a lot of what is wrong with GH and ABC Daytime IMO.

I agreed with you on everything right up until the michael recast... I actually find CD is growing on me, and I enjoy his michael as much, if not more than I did with DG in the role... the chemistry that Michael and Abby have is pretty big, in my opinion

    • Oh that liberal media. Amazing how many people are lining up to do anything for such a repulsive and deeply uncharismatic man.
    • I agree. And as I said above, most of the interim stuff worked. Especially the Ryan saga with Felicia and Mac.
    • Didn't he also have a terrible relationship with Potter? Really terrible? I know Potter was long gone by then but it probably wasn't a happy memory for him.
    • I think Riche sets a tone almost immediately for the type of show she wanted "General Hospital" to be. Even if the stories weren't always the strongest, the stories were rooted in human emotion. No matter who was writing in those early years, the characters seem to connected and invested in the world around them. There are stakes. I think even in some of the weaker stories, there is something to find of value. Actions had impact and often ripples across the canvas. Romance was also back. Characters relationships were central to the drama. There is a feeling of community in Port Charles. All of this was in place by the time that Labine and team arrive and run with it.   Part of me thinks that it was for the best that Robert and Anna left when they did. It forced Riche to shift the show away from the action and adventure stories that had been the show's staple and required the humanity to be returned. Bringing the hospital back to the forefront was very smart. Characters who were ignored were given material of substance. I do think Riche leaned into her TV movie background and, at times, the stories may not have seemed like soap opera stories. Sometimes it worked, sometimes it didn't.  Personally, any episode from 1992-1993 is stronger than the material I've seen in 1990-1991.  @DeliaIrisFan I looked at the summaries again. Bill inherited land from Fred Eckert which he used to get into business with Harlan Barrett. My apologies.
