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**

They show clips of Starr Todd Blair Carly Jason Sonny Sam

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.

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.

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.

"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.'"

    • I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.
    • For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

    • Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next. 
    • I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew. 
    • Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol
    • Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?
    • I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.
    • And of course Mama Ru herself appeared on All My Children.
    • The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
