I thought Michael was Pluto and Mcbain was Droopy Dog

Nope. I'm specifically speaking of the interlopers, two of which I absolutely loathe!

Pluto is Starr. Pluto is no is no longer a planet but a star. Get it?

Steve Burton gave an interview with Fairman where he made his displeasure known. Ha, I knew that he was "anonymous" unhappy actor from GH. He is whining about all sorts, but bottom line, he is getting squeezed to the side by Michael Easton.

I knew from day 1 it was Steve and I don't blame him one damn bit!

Don't care one bit. I can't stand McBain but Jason is a bigger bore.

After thinking about it, I have come to the realization that they are both equally dire. Women fling themselves at them for no comprehensible reason and the characters are played by actors who look perpetually bored.

Didn't SB only sign a 1 year contract which expires in Sept? He might be worried that FV might expire Jason when the time comes with no option for renewal

Cheap, I was thinking the same thing. They've separated JaSam and Carly's new bestest buddy is Todd. Spin hasn't needed a master in a very long time. I was telling a friend that it wouldn't shock me if Jason was gone soon.

ITA it's like watching the same character twice for me.

I TOTALLY agree

I think thats a good possibility. This is a business and there is only so much money to go around. Ive wondered how they have been able to afford 5 high priced actors already, Geary, Bernard, Burton, Howarth, and Easton. Something has to give. Firing or writing out lower priced talent only goes so far.

Easton and Burton are in essence playing the same character. Is there really a need for 2 of them

Is Finola on contract also? Wouldn't she be pretty high priced too? And Laura cuz she's a lead and KellyM since she's been a lead for awhile also.

I think that pay cuts are far more likely than GH firing Steve Burton. I have no inside info, but I would think that Easton and Howarth are making less than they did on OLTL and less than Geary, Benard, and Burton. I can see GH slicing Geary, Benard, and Burton's salaries some more and taking more supporting characters off contract. By hiring Easton and Howarth, GH has strengthen its hand in future contract negotiations. They can let Burton walk away without to much fuss if he balks at the salary cut.

Btw, Kelly Monaco also signed a one year contract.

This is a sexist industry and I doubt any of these women are making the money the men do. Look at how much Hollywood pays male stars vs females. None of these women are Susan Lucci and are relatively disposable. Particularly since most are over 40 or close to it. It's an industry with a huge double standard.

I have to say, if GH got read of Geary, Benard and Burton, I would welcome these OLTLers with open arms.
