I guess at the time, Don Galloway was something of a get for the show, as he was a prime time star. He was on Ironside in the 70s. Not surprising they would try to make his character something of a lead. I wonder why he would want to put in a couple of years on GH. They must have paid him nicely.

Don Galloway was getting sporadic primetime work in the 80's, so maybe having a steady income on GH suited him at the time.

He didn't score another series apart from a sitcom flop 'Hizzoner' in 79.

He had a prior relationship with Gloria Monty as they had worked together on secret Storm in the early 60's.

And with Chris Robinson on the way out, maybe they were looking for a similar charcter to fill the void. They were only a year apart in age and even looked similar

He's an amiable and charming presence, but plopping him in with all the youngsters is just odd. To say nothing of his name.
