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?

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.

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

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. wacko.png 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...

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."

Wait! tongue.png 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

      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.
