Members VirginiaHamilton Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 This is bullshit: Needless to say, if he (along with RH and KA go), so does 50% of what's left of my interest in this show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Wow, I wonder what the story is there. PP? I swear, the drama behind the scenes of these soaps is 100 times more interesting than the soaps themselves. ETA: According to DC, there is legal drama that is sending RH, ME, and KA back to OLTL. There is no reason that ABC cannot bring back ME as a different character. RH and KA can stay at OLTL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted February 1, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Until I see an actual season of this PP-funded online OLTL in the can, I'm of the opinion that their power-tripping isn't worth yanking him off GH for... ... that is, unless he'll be able to find a loophole by playing Caleb/Stephen as a way to stay on the show....

Members Eric83 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 They can't force ME to do OLTL so I am sure he will end up playing Caleb, especially with his son now on canvas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 For what it's worth, Caleb is already going to appear on the show soon. There's a story about it in this week's ABC SID. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members VirginiaHamilton Posted February 1, 2013 Author Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 So, let me get this straight: Though PP has the rights to McBain, they can't dictate what ME does? So, if he wanted to stick around, Ron can bring him back as Caleb (or Stephen)? Just want to make sure before I breathe a sigh of relief...

Members DRW50 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 I just wonder if there will be any difference in acting. Easton seemed to lose all interest in Caleb after Tainted Love. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 It stinks that he is being forced out JUST as his character finally has a GH centric story integrating him that actually works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 It mostly is stuff shoehorned in from PC. He still has zero connection, or chemistry, with GH characters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 There would be no story without him and depending on how they play this, he has connections with Lucy, Kevin Rafe and Livvie/Sam. There's obvious more to the story and I fear it will now be altered to accomodate his exist. He's been integral to Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 That's all based on PC stuff though. Most of the people on GH still have no reason to care if he drops dead tomorrow. The only one is Sam, and I don't think the chemistry is there anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ann_SS Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 So what if is PC based? I always considered the shows to be intertwined. It is very likely that most people watched GH also watched PC. ME should brought back as a human Caleb with no memory of his past. I have no problem with ME finding a place as Caleb on GH just like Kelly Monaco moved from PC to GH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 I've heard that they're bringing ME back as a whole new character named Shaquon X. A source I trust said that they saw him at a hairdresser's on Crenshaw getting cornrows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted February 1, 2013 Members Share Posted February 1, 2013 Quite a few GH viewers never watched PC. I think that's one of the reasons many GH viewers struggled to see this amazing chemistry ME and KM were supposed to have together. Hell, I watched PC, and I never saw it. If you have to airlift story and characters from a different show and just try to push them onto an already existing canvas, one which had nothing to do with the character the actor was playing, then I think it shows a core failure in that character. ME never seemed to fit into PC after Tainted Love, IMO, so I'm not sure if GH will be any different. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
