I don't care about Hope, I just care that they had to do some stunt death for a child for no apparent reason other than more of Michael making doe eyes. If your character is so destroyed that random kids need to die for people to feel sympathy for you, then it's time to go. It also gives the idea that RC just has no real stories to tell.

So, we've had explosions, car crashes, gunplay and three deaths all in five episodes. Tell me, again, Daytime Confidential, why RC and Valentini are godsends when it feels like Guza and Phelps have simply come back from vacation?

A child we met five minutes ago. I have no connection to these dead people.

As a OLTL fan I find this disrespectful. I HATED when ATWT killed off several MAJOR Another World characters and I never watched that show! It's so unfair to the fans of that show. Why not just send these characters back to their original town when the story ends? It's not like you're going to have a big, splashy AW/OLTL funeral for them or anything. In this case we know at least Hope will be alive, but how long will we wait to find out? If it's a long time, then I don't wanna watch Starr grieving or falling in love with Michael instantly. There is also NO WAY she'd stay in Port Charles when her huge family is in Llanview. She's not even 21 yet.

On OLTL Carlivati killed all of Jessica and Natalie's love interests (and both of Jess' baby daddies) and now Starr's daughter AND baby daddy? Just in the context of GH, we had to deal with Jake last year and this is just as bad IMO. We watched Starr grow up and this is the daughter of an important family. Nobody wants to watch a child die, let alone repeatedly in a silly story. I don't care that she may eventually be alive.

I was feeling confident, but I was still worried about Carlivati's take on GH. I now see I had reason to worry. I know many were worried he'd turn it into OLTL-lite, but I figured it would be a different kind of stupidity and I was right.

      John Black actually was the ultimate good guy soap hero. So I don’t mind the town gushing over him. It’s deserved.

      Be glad it wasn't a Perry production.

      The whole town gushing over John Black as if he was a saint is eye rolling.  I guess death really colors people's memories over his many flaws, but I guess that is normal and human nature. I'm still confused as to why Leo hasn't been written out.  The actor stank up two soaps with his sub par acting, what does he have on TPTB's to remain on these soaps.   What's the point of Cat?  I hope the new head-writers figure out her purpose and develop her character. And I much prefer scenes not focusing on John's death because life does go on for the world when someone passes.

      Wasn't there a break in Zaslow's first run? I thought Roger was off-screen for a while, and when Zas came back, Roger was hiding at the boarding house and Nola figured out there was something hinkey about him. I'm pretty sure Simon chose to leave the first time and was replaced by RVV. I don't want to assume Jordan's issues played a role in his first departure, but Maeve said in an interview that at some point, it became very hard for her to work with him and she asked to work with him less. That seems to fit 1986, where suddenly Vanessa is essentially Ross' law clerk and not at every Lewis family moment.

      I didn't know of any interruptions for Maeve Kinkead after her 1997 return. Her runs would then be 1981-1987, 1989-1996, 1997-2000, short arcs until the end. I knew Maureen Garrett second run was interrupted from a 2009 interview but I couldn't recall the exact year. Her runs would then be 1976-1980, 1988-2000, short arcs until the end.

      As I said in May, I have no problem with Martin and Bradley being married. You can still do all the fun introloper storylines with them as you do everyone else. Both men of a certain age, and it is very believable for them to have either a first love or have been previously married. And, you can do it without either of them cheating!

       I said something similar during the premiere week. Bill was the perfect age to play Martin as Vernon and Anita's child. I would've much preferred this version, but oh well.

      I don't know how you want to count Maeve. She "retired" in '00, but would come back for appearances. I don't know however if she made an appearance in '01 or '03. In '02 I believe she came back for Josh and Reva's wedding. I assume she came back when Gina Tognoni took over the role of Dinah. And I know she was back for Ross' memorial service. Maureen Garrett was around until at least '00. I don't think Holly was in town when Ben returned though. I just got pissed off about Jerry all over again.

      So, pretty sure Zaslow, Garrett, Kinkead, and Newman all chose to leave the first time. (If that's wrong, please correct me). Bernau - not sure why he left the first time. Was it voluntary? Or did they decide to write him out? They were writing so many out during that time period. It always seemed odd to me that they introduced Alex, FINALLY giving him someone he could talk to, and then he was written out. Or maybe that's why they made Alex his sister, so she could take his place as the head of the Spaulding family? Would love more intel on that if anyone knows. Simon - was he replaced by RVV? Or did he voluntarily leave the first time? It seems to me like one of those times TPTB decided to sex up or glamorize a character (and it clearly flopped). If he was fired, interesting he came back. Again, would love if someone could spill the tea. Clarke - I've always assumed he left because of his personal issues, but not sure if that was the case the first time.
