Apparently a SoapNet promo is airing that says this, from DD and SOC posters

"It did say John McBain intended to Leave Llanview for Port Charles.. And when their worlds collide (snippets of OLTL and GH), anything can happen."

There's also conflicting info that apparently the promo was stated as saying "John McBain and the Mannings" are coming while showing an image of Kassie DePaiva and/or Kristen Alderson

Here's more. Sounds like a huge (temporary) crossover stunt.

I gave a complete description several pages back rewound my DVR several times to type exactly what it said the promo I saw at about 9:58 this morning after OLTL ended it said "Coming this Febuary to General Hospital Just when you thought is was over John McBain & the Mannings leave Landview & head to Port Charles and when their worlds collide anything came happen"

*I just went & watched it again**

Nelson Branco just tweeted about this too.

Yep

if this is anything like the AW/ATWT crossover, I'll pass! ATWT, that damn show, killed my Jake and Vicky! I like to pretend they never left Bay City and are still happy there.

It might be the only good thing that GH will have Valenti/Carlivati as to at least treat the characters better than former GH staff.

I hope Tea and Victor's story continues on GH

What an abomination!! Where is this promo? The Mannings invading GH - just wow. What about Dani and Jack? I care about them more, Tbh. LOL. And Tea.

If its short term to wrap-up the OLTL major cliffhangers, I am pro-. That would be so respectful to the ABC daytime fans.

Longer-term, ala the ATWT/AW merger, would be tough for me to support. OLTL and GH are different shows. GH has a rich history and roster of characters they are already not using. Clouding the current world with more foreign characters would be unfair.

I would love for an AMC mention in passing the next time Skye is back in Port Charles (hopefully she gets one more appearance before their cancellation), where she can resolve what happened at Chandler Mansion with JR shot his gun.

As much as I think GH fans feels it screws them , this is a smart idea IMO moreso than the failed nostalgiafest at DOOL and the stunt casting at Y&R. OLTL is going out on a high so they bring on a few OLTL characters to wrap up cliffhangers and draw in some maybe new viewers. Aside from Me/McBain, I don't see Todd, Blair or Starr staying around longterm unless there is some kind of exodus at GH of the airhogs.

Are you serious !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It'll be interesting to see (actually read) how this is going to work out. It seems like a lot of people hate GH or at the very least have given up on it but I can't see how turning GH into the host for OLTL to feed on will work although I guess they've got nothing to lose ratings wise. Of course once the cancellation notice comes down it'll turn into a circus of hate and blame but that's going to happen regardless.

OLTL's Roger Howarth (Todd), Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Michael Easton (John) and Kristen Alderson (Starr) join GH as their OLTL characters!

"We have a very exciting story planned for the citizens of Port Charles, with Sonny Corinthos at the center of it! I am confident viewers and fans alike will be excited for the arrival of John (Easton), Starr (Alderson), Blair (DePaiva) and Todd (Howarth)," says Valentini in a statement. "Incorporating characters from 'One Life to Live' continue the legacy of the show as we weave them into 'General Hospital.'"
