Members DRW50 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 All they should do is have Todd say something to the effect of: "Got a call from Tea. Slo-bro's not dead. Yay me." End scene. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 LMAO Carl I like Olivia, Konnie needs to hit the door, seems like what I've read in various places, people are over Kate/Connie I don't want TSJ anywhere near GH, he seems to think he's better than soaps, let him stay away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 But the thing is, Todd is now part of GH's canon and he's been the most popular transplant. Therefore, everything that relates to Todd can be deemed relevant. No, it didn't happen on screen on GH, but 95% of Todd's story didn't either.

Members ChitHappens Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 In the words of Miss Blanche Devereaux: "Isn't he briliiiiilyant" Thank you, Carl! This story is not needed on GH. They need to find a way to write GH w/out having to include OLTL characters! Tale of 2 Todds? One is already eating up too much airtime - WTF do you think 2 will do? This has nothing to do with wrapping up that story but everything to do with focusing the show on more OLTL crap! Damn! I'm getting heated again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 All the more reason to build story for Todd that ties him to the GH canvas, not waste precious time on a show facing cancellation rehashing a story from another canceled show featuring a character that has nobody knows or cares anything about. A character where half the conversation will have to be long-winded exposition because not only is the character meaningless to the audience but his story is a full year gone. If Todd is the most successful transplant, the show should build on that. Bringing on TSJ for a fly-by squanders that capital. Let me put it another way: other than playing spoiler in a dead baby story, how much did anybody care about Tea? What was her value other than being a familiar face from OLTL?

Members alexisfan07 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 It's awkward to have Todd on GH and not address the Victor issue, especially since it has been a year. If OLTL were still on, Victor would've been rescued by now. If the character of Todd never came on, then obviously leave the issue alone. But since Todd is on, it's just...odd.

Members chicklitsandfantasies Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Alot of GH viewers did not watch OLTL so it's not odd for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members alexisfan07 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Very true but FV has said he brought the three on to bring in OLTL viewers so that's mostly where my focus was Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 I still cannot believe Frankie and Ronnie thought bringing on those three would entice OLTL viewers at least to sample GH if not become converts altogether. Just shows to go you how misled they were and are about their appeal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members marceline Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Again, I completely get the desire to have resolution for that story but resolving it doesn't do anything for GH. Victor's fate means no more to GH than Erica Kane's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 IA. It would be like saying a writer shouldn't bring up anything from a new characters past of build a story around it bc it happened before they joined the show. To me that's ridiculous. Characters should only have story that is based off events that happen after they join a show? Todd's past is valid of they want to bring it up and work it into whatever story to want for him next Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Frankly, if I had been in Frankie and Ronnie's shoes, I would have been more inclined to bring on Sean Ringgold (Shaun), Shanelle Edmonds (Destiny) and Mark Lawson (NAKEDBRODY). Maybe not the biggest draws among ONE LIFE's cast, but Lawson's Brody was a virtual naked clean slate; and although Ringgold and Edmonds aren't the greatest actors, their presence alone might have gotten that Black story up and pumping [/Maria Arena Bell].

Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Unless someone's life hangs in the balance, and in order to survive, they need Erica's heart, which means having to shut off her life support system. Because, you know, JR Chandler shot her. (Don't act surprised, you know Ronnie's thought of it already.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted December 14, 2012 Members Share Posted December 14, 2012 Frankie and Ronnie are in a "damned if you do, damned if you don't" situation, if you ask me. If they do bring on TSJ in order to resolve the Tale of Two Todds, the whole "OLTL-ification of GH" debate will only rage on; and if they don't, it'll be forever the 800-pound plaid elephant in the room that is GH's Todd Manning's backstory.
