Members Khan Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 I can't think of one OLTL actor I'd want to see on GH. I mean, besides Mark Lawson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 I hate to be disagreeing with you so much lately but how particularly does Carlivati love big returns, atleast compared to any other HW? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 He did bring back Janet Zarish. I want her as Alexandria Quartermaine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 Because it guarnatees probably roughly a year's work anyway, and jobs that pay as much as even fairly cheap EP and HW positions are NOT easy to find. Ron Carlivati is a writer--he can write some plays and shop them around and maybe make something close to a year HW salary if he happens to either write a play that is optioned for a major film or has one of the increasingly rare modern, non musical BROADWAY (not off Broadway) hits, or he could wait years shopping around some ideas for a primetime pilot, or accept a lesser paying job working on a primetime show as a staff writer if he happened to be chose by that team. I can't resent or be surprised at these people wanting the job even if it's not likely to last. Yes I'm a Sondheim geek but it always kinda bowls me over how little Pat Elliott is given to do when she's Broadway royalty, remembered for one of the best reviewed and most awarded 1970s musical theatre roles *ever* in A Little Night Music. Of course a lot of major Broadway stars have had nothing more than cameos on soaps, so I guess it doesn't mean much. I can't tell if you're joking or not... This was a big return? (as much as I love her...) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 It was certainly better than most of their other returns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members EricMontreal22 Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 Wellyes but I'm not sure RC even remembered she played a character before when she first returned... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 For real! Asking why anyone would take this job is like asking why someone would want a million dollars (which I'm going to guess is in the neighborhood of their salary). Why on earth wouldn't they? I felt the same way about the actors who moved with AMC. They did it because they wanted to make their relatively high salary for another year. It's not like these high paying jobs in entertainment grow are a dime a dozen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MontyB Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 Sorry, I don't see Janet or any of these NY seasoned actors moving west for a show that's probably going off the air. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juppiter Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 No way. Over the years the GH audience has all but been told that AJ was responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attacks. No way they would have their golden boy play such a "loser" character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 The tragedy here of course being that he already DOES play a loser character and yet they fail to notice that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R Sinclair Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 I doubt there will be any major cast additions (unless the hypothetical OLTL transfers want to do recurring). I could be wrong, but the signs of this show's limited budget are showing. For instance, Sonny and Kate's Great NYC Adventure all taking place in their hotel suite? One day lasting forever? Long, drawn out Two-Person scenes... Monday's episode featuring only 10 characters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted December 2, 2011 Members Share Posted December 2, 2011 Yep. The show has been looking and feeling cheap for a good six months at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OLTL_fan Posted December 3, 2011 Members Share Posted December 3, 2011 This guy needs to STFU. He knows nothing about soaps. His character has been poorly written from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
