Members frequentsoapfan Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Soap vet Richard Steinmetz (ex-Martin, PASSIONS; ex-Jeff, LOVING) has been tapped for a new role on GENERAL HOSPITAL. "Richard is playing the son of a former character who will have big story with Sonny," teases Executive Producer Frank Valentini. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Is this going to go back to Deke again? Or Frank Smith? So much for less mob, as we keep hearing about as justification... I wish they'd cast more Loving actors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Cheap21 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Then why say he's a son of a former character and not a former character himself? This sounds like a brand new character Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members soapfave06 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Why does he have to be related to Sonny's story! I can't believe I had hope for a change when Valentini came on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Susan Hunter Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I'm going with he's either the son of Frank Smith or Mitch Williams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Who was Martin on Passions? Was that Luis' brother/Sheridan's husband that "died"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 Martin was Pilar's husband and the father of Paloma, Theresa, Luis and Antonio. He was pretty good, but this is just stupid. I hate when they do that long lost son deal when the original actor isn't on canvas. I HATED when Guiding Light did that with Sebastian and Carlivati loved making everyone related to former characters on OLTL, just so it wouldn't seem like a total newbie.

Members DRW50 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 It's hiding behind history. I still have no idea why Cookie Cutter and Kim had to be Alex's kids, especially since it made a hash of her backstory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 That's bc the show got cancelled before those plans could play out. Obviously Kim and Cuttet's story wasn't over and it was set up to continue in the online edition. Besides the reveal was the best thing to happen to Alex in years. It humanized her and made her come across sympathetic, something which wasn't there through all her selfish comedic hijinks in the years prior to that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted May 24, 2012 Members Share Posted May 24, 2012 I doubt we would have seen Kim again (unless they recast) and Cutter was so boring and smarmy. I just wanted to see Alex the way she was in the early 90's, before they made her into a comedy character. The whole idea of, "Her kids are grifters like she was, LOL history!" annoyed me. Alex was not interesting when she was a grifter, she was interesting when she was a lunatic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
