Carolyn Hinsey Of SOD tweeted about OLTL

Tony Geary and Maurice Benard dish the "new" GH to TVG's Michael Logan. Note: If GH's ratings soar, OLTL will return!! http://www.tvguide.com/News/General-...w-1046065.aspx

@irishbangers Frank and Ron would be involved. Be positive!

@JRowley122 If GH's ratings are good, there's a chance. Thats why I keep saying WATCH GH!!

@marjenjr Im just saying, ABC Daytime is in turmoil. The better GH's ratings are, the more chance there is of OLTL coming back in some form!

My Take:

Seriously Id love it BUT IT AINT HAPPENING. how can someone who considers herself a soap fan & "Journalist" Tell these LIES. Book sales down Carolyn. You should be ASHAMED of yourself

They should cut GH to a half hour and then do a half hour of both GH and OLTL

"IF GH's RATINGS SOAR, OLTL WILL RETURN!!!111!!!1" Bitch, NO. The ratings have and will not soar under this awful team and the "renewal" had NOTHING to do with them. This girl is unbelievable with her delusional comments; Afternoon Delight sales must REALLY be down.

I'm laughing about Blowhard Geary saying, "Those who don't want to work harder will not stay." I wonder how many months he's planning on taking off this year.

I just think its horrible to put these lies out there. ABC is not telling GH its got Years if anything every April itll either get renewed or canned. So ABC would not bring OLTL back

Funny how CH's tune changed from OLTL will return to more of a chance and then to there is a chance. Wonder if her boses saw this & chewed her out

He's gonna take off 10 1/2 months and then come back and hijack an Emmy. Good thing they are now being held in a non televised alley! Not that I dislike Tony, but I just don't see what his contribution is any longer. He's gone more than he's here, and once he returns, NOTHING! The time has come...

I've begun to dislike Geary in the past couple of years, and it's all because of the sh!t he says in interviews.

General Hospital's Anthony Geary and Maurice Benard Weigh In On The Show's Reprieve

I *might* believe this if ABC had a gushing press release announcing any sort of intentions where GH is concerned. Something saying how excited they are about the new direction and look forward to celebrating the 50th anniversary. Some more press for the show, crossovers with primetime and The View (or even The Chew). Something.

+1! Everyone's weighing in but ABC.

Silence from ABC's corner. Not even a press release. Odd.

I've begun to dislike Geary in the past couple of years, and it's all because of the sh!t he says in interviews.

What did he say wrong here? He has always been the official mascot for GH, trotted out when a face needs to be put to the show for the press, and he is being head cheerleader. That's his job more than anyone else from cast or crew. I just hope GMA tanks also.

A head cheerleader who misses all the practices and only shows up for the Homecoming game and then lectures everyone else for not working hard enough.

To be fair, he's not the only actor to have an extended vacation in his contract. He's doing the show a favor by compromising and staying when he would probably prefer to retire. In Geary's case, we don't ever see him on Twitter or booking films or primetime gigs. He does his day job and calls it a day. I see no problem with that. I like that he still seems passionate about his character in interviews, much like this one. I'm sure there are people on set who hate the new, faster filming style and more efficient procedues. Jill Phelps was legendary for giving into the outrageous cast demands and now that everyone is pretty much on a level playing field, I can see how that could piss off some of the "stars." It doesn't surprise me that Maurice Benard isn't one of them. As annoying as Sonny is, I've always found him to be very reasonable and a nice, pleasant guy (for the most part).

I wasn't aware of that. Who else has the kind of extended vacation Geary has? I know Burton has been taking more time off, but he isn't off the show for months at a time. I can't think of anybody else among the leads who is gone like that.
