Well, they can hardly just go for the geriatrics, can they? Believe it or not, I do know people who watched both (I gave up after the vampires) and are over the moon about this. But I don't really see the harm. I think it just adds to the whole exploration of the vast panorama of GH history. And I'm really very curious as to what crazy [!@#$%^&*] they come up with to explain all this.

Well then I think they should have Tracy go crazy when she finally realizes that Olivia is really JOCELYN from the City!

Erin Hershey Presley? That's random. Most of my memories of her are shackled to the unwashed, stuttering angel. Not to be rude but any scene they had together seemed like a speech impediment class.

I hope this means we might see her grandmother Amanda again.

EHP is just awful. I was hoping like ALW we would never, ever, ever see her again tbh

I actually liked her with Jamal but she was awful to watch once they moved her away from him. I'm also not sure she ever learned how to pronounce "Rafe."

In another thread I mentioned how if Prospect Park were successful and wanted to expand to a third show they could bring back Passions, but Port Charles would probably be more likely since it's owned by ABC. If there were ever a time for a supernatural soap, it's now. They could also go much darker than soaps did before which would draw in a bigger audience. To me, the biggest flaw with Port Charles is that it's set in the same city as GH. For that reason alone I'd never bring it back.

By the time PC ended there wasn't much to bring back. I liked Jamal, and that Joy Bisco character, and Frank, and Chris, and perhaps Allison's mother. Most of the rest seemed played out and built on the corpse of Tainted Love.

I so get the feeling Sam is going to be Livvie with some kind of memory wipe or something

Oh, God.

I think Ronnie C. was better off not acknowledging Caleb, Livvie, and the rest of that junk. Even if they retcon all the supernatural stuff as Lucy's delusion, it still would come across as a slap in the face to all PORT CHARLES fans who invested emotionally in those stories. I don't know about you, but I don't like being told that everything I watched was a dream and a waste of my time. But that's just me.

Why stop there? Why not have Tracy realize Carly is really Ally Rescott as well?

(I always said ABCD and Angela Shapiro's concept of synergy would come back to haunt these shows someday.)

I seriously doubt ABC would ever license another show to PP, particularly one connected to one they seem to want to keep on the air at least for a few more years...

Yeah setting it in the same city (the same hospital in fact--not a suburb just outside or something) was truly a mistake, even if it seemed attractive at the time because it saved money.

This is how I feel. Like Knots avoiding Dallas' shower dream, I think it's just too distant to try to connect them. Of course we'll see to what extent it is, but shouldn't Olivia have been seeing vampire hallucinations etc? Yeah GH has always had more sci fi than the other ABC soaps (outside DS of course), but... It seems like a can't win situation (aside from a few winks to the audience that I'm fine with, although RC has done that a bit too much). If PC had *just* finished, I might feel differently, but it was over a decade back... If this does make PC fans really happy, wouldn't they want them to bring back the vampire aspect?

D'oh TOTALLY forgot about that (even though I really liked the actress back in the Ally days...)

I dunno, one cross over is fine. Tracy worked well at The City and I don't mind that they've mentioned Soleito from it and her relationship, Anna was fine on AMC (although the whole Alex/Anna thing was a mess), Angie was fine on Loving even with the awkward Jesse/Jacob stuff (which is actually far less awkward than all the times we had Ghost Jesse on AMC under Passanante saving Tad's life etc). But I think to try to go back and aknowledge why certain actors played the same character on different soaps and then meet actors they should know who are now different characters.... Just ignore it--soap audiences are more than used to being able to handle that.

If this Lucy stuff were a special Fan February style fantasy episode--I'd be all for that. Otherwise...

A part of me likes this kind of crazy story. Sometimes RC reminds me of some dorky comic book writer who wants to fix continuity errors that nobody cares about. Maybe soon Carly and Olivia will start to remember to EDIT: Nevermind some of you made the same joke.:

It's funny how people COMPLAINED how PC could exist along with GH but no one on GH aware of vampires, yet they do this and people still complain *smdh*

So GH not only got a OLTL invasion they're now getting a PC one? This feels like not just an arc but a continuing storyline that here's to stay especially with Erin taping, if that's true.

Weren't those complaints from about ten years ago?
