New Blind Items

[John]

GH did Lucas bad. I wonder if Morgan was gonna be gay???

[Cheap21]

thats what the blind item said

[John]

i checked with Jamey and he said not happening but some still think it is. UGHHH

[RomeAt50]

There was a rumor a few months or so ago about GH doing a Dallas style story. I wonder if RC was the one who pitched it. But if its not happening than thats great. I don't think there has ever been a Dallas dream style story that fans have liked.

The gay story thing can only be Y&R or GH. IIRC they are the only ones left who have done one before that was botched.

[John]

I think the gay botched story was Lucas on GH

I remember seeing that but I thought it would have erased like 10 years of Gh though, not a year

I don't think they remember Morgan because the newspaper article about Sonny said he had two sons and listed only Dante and Michael.

[RomeAt50]

That sounds like GH. There probably has not been as much network meddling since Frons left. I hope this doesn't mean more teenagers.

I'm leaning towards Y&R with the gay story. Their story was more recent and got more buzz and criticism.

Wasn't that supposed to be more of a bisexual story?

[dragonflies]

The only soap I wanted a Dallas type storyline was AMC, especially if it undid the unabortion and everything Pratt wrote

[frequentsoapfan]

Gh will probably be bringing in more teens just because RC loves them, but youthful essences is about DAYS who hasn't had a head of Daytime for awhile. There was a rumor about DAYS shifting focuse to everyone 40 and younger.

With all the alpha males in town, GH does not have any room for a teen set. Then again, they could get rid of all the hospital cast and problem solved.

[Susan Hunter]

I think Days' current younger set, except for Will, is the lamest group of young people I've ever seen on the show. I would get rid of all of them and start over.

GH's young set is pretty lame also. The actress who plays Starr annoys me, they should recast her part and start all over. Michael just needs a personality.

[frequentsoapfan]

Michael needs a recast too. CD is awful. Nothing about him is appealing.

[JaneAusten]

Drew Garrett was a far better Michael but they had him playing anger boy. He would have been another Will on GH screaming and yelling at everyone.

[DRW50]

Drew Garrett was tic-laden, like Chompers and JJ and others. I think CD is average but not that bad, it's just the writing.

I don't think the Lucas story was ever seen as botched. They may not have had the actor they wanted, once Ryan Carnes quit, but they told a basic story, did a PSA, and moved on. Y&R, meanwhile, rewrote Philip's death, had a big controversy which smeared Chris Engen as a homophobe, and then told a story that amounted to an evil quasi-bisexual seducing a brain dead twink for legal help (complete with hilarious crossdressing jokes - really hitting all the bases).

GH does seem to be going younger, as Kristina is returning and they are auditioning another young man for Starr. DAYS seems to have about the same amount of younger characters as usual - I think the "younger" is just an excuse NBC gave to fire some actors.

I wonder if the part about a couple who are talking up former love interests refers to MTS always bringing up John Enos in interviews.

thats why people are saying this is in reference to OLTL's Kish, not Lucas. RC wouldnt need to try and make up for the Lucas story as he had no part in that. He however did write the messed up Kish tale. He possibly may have pitched an idea for GH which got nixxed by FV as to avoid any potential backlash based on what happened before from people still bitter over how that went down before
