GH: Natalie & Liam spoiler

[SFK]

Ugh, killing off characters for s/l "convenience" is so uncreative and insulting. And babies at that?? People break up, people divorce, people don't work out, people cheat, people move away. A knock down drag out fight between John and Natalie in a hotel room with the baby screaming in the corner would be so much more effective than some lame plane crash or whatever. And you know the OLTLers want to see Viki, Jessica, Clint, et cetera mourn Natalie and the baby, so why rob us and even go there?

[dragonflies]

From what I've been reading, you can thank Prospect Park for Nat/MA not being able to come to GH.

[SFK]

Huh? Some weird boobie contract? I'd think all ties were null and void.

[Cheap21]

I dont see what that would have to do anything but in any case its for the best. She doesnt need to be continuing on GH. Her story arc was rather complete

[SFK]

LOL, and I meant boobie as in trap, not:

[dragonflies]

that is according to Valentini at the TCA Panel. I guess they're only letting a few at a time come.

Michael Easton confirmed the same thing at the GHFC luncheon this past week

[dragonflies]

yeah here it is:

NO NAT… FOR NOW | On the possibility of further complicating John McBain’s love life by at some point getting his Llanview love Natalie to Port Charles, Valentini confided to TVLine that “legal issues, in terms of the Prospect Park deal [that almost gave OLTL an online home]” were among the reasons why Melissa Archer has yet to at least cameo. “I can’t really talk about it, but I will say that Melissa is a very close friend of mine and I adore her, and she’s a phenomenal actress.” (Easton, for his part, told us he’d love to reunite with Archer, since the “one-sided phone calls” between John and off-screen Nat are getting to be a bit much.)

[SFK]

Hmm, very interesting. Thanks for sharing that. Not that I'm pressed for Natalie or anyone else really to come to GH, but damn you Prospect Park, that's effed up.

[dragonflies]

PP sucks monkey balls. They aren't going to air the series online but won't release the rights, that's fucked up

[Mr. Vixen]

I want Melissa Archer and her chest on my screen, though.

[Eric83]

+1. It is the least those bastards could do.

[Money]

Blaming PP for Archer not coming to GH makes absolutely no sene to me. It's not as if she's an exclusive actor or had an exclusive contract from those who were slated to sign with PP. This sounds all too convenient for Valentini and co.

The bottome line is that neither Archer nor Natalie fit into RC/Valentini's plans for McBain's love life.

[DRW50]

I agree. I don't buy that they can get all these other OLTL people for short or long stints, but not her.

They had no reason to bring Natalie in. They are passing the buck, as they always do.

[alexisfan07]

The rumor that I've read is that they'll only release three at a time. So they released John, Blair, and Tea so far.

[dragonflies]

Yep that's what ME said at the FC luncheon. Roger & Kristen never signed with PP(thank god) so no issues there
