Members SFK Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I hear you, I just wonder how important Van himself was to them. I'll believe what KA says and think pretty important. He may have been a tough find, and maybe they thought it was too much to recast the role yet again, I have no clue. That was a new baby Hope though, right?

Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Van was great but I don't think they would have had him stay even if he was available. If not for Michael needing a new sadface partner I'm not sure Starr would even be joining GH. That the whole thing has been about Michael's feelings is sort of telling.

Members alexisfan07 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yep, a new older looking Hope Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I really didn't see anything campy about that stuff. It pales in comparison to the typical OTT campy Luke stuff with Helena which is played up for laughs. The stuff today was actually more dramatic and meant to be taken seriously Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I have this fear that the actor who played Ford will be hired as some sort of totally unrelated character/lookalike that only Starr will make a point of noticing. I wonder with the news of Cole's death if they'd ever consider bringing James on as a Michael/Starr potential spoiler. I mean, she already broke his heart, but I'm assuming Starr is going to become the center of a couple dudes' affections just like on OLTL. Lord help...

Members alexisfan07 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 There's no one really her age on the canvas except for Michael though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I think the writing diverged from the acting. Samms and Parsons were awful, and Geary was overdramatic as always, although more restrained than usual. I was watching with someone who came over because of OLTL, and she said, during this scene, "A lot of the people on here can't act." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I had the same reaction to those scenes lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Wait! I could be wrong, but Starr and Michael will probably at least get Markko/Langston-type foils. Starr is not a character who we're used to seeing exist without friends and family so it'll be interesting to see with whom she bonds in town.

Members Chris B Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 I was disappointed to see her comments. She shouldn't have said anything at all. Obviously since Cole is a fugitive on the run he could easily be sent back to jail. Hell, they didn't even need him for one episode if an actor wasn't available. Then for Hope there is just no excuse. This was lazy writing to make it easier to launch an insta!couple we may not even like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SFK Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thanks Eric. Yeah, I had missed some stuff so I went to check it out on YouTube and it is bananas how some fanatics are already acting like Michael and Starr are of Luke and Laura status. I don't get stuff like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Every couple will have some type of following on Youtube. I'm sure Michael and Abby Crane did too. As for Starr and friendships - I'm sure she will get on well with Lulu, as long as she can tolerate a drunken shrew berating her for her failings and talking to her about Dante at all times. Other than that, can't think of anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted March 1, 2012 Members Share Posted March 1, 2012 Yea but what would keep Starr in Port Charles then if she's not forced to testify or if Hope isn't injured in GH? Not saying it's impossible to come up with a logical reason but clearly RC went with the easiest route possible with the most emotional impact. The situation they've created goes for the sympathy points for both Michael and Starr - Michael cause he feels guilty about what happened and Starr, the newbie of the show, is given some of the worst pain a human can go through. In RC's eyes, what better way is there to draw people to a new character than to create sympathy? Without that there is nothing to go on - no history or familiarity with the character, a lack of interest completely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
