ME Gone From GH After February 8th

This is bullshit:

THANK YOU...

I heard a rumor of some lovely people who were going to stop by the studio for a certain riff raff's birthday. Some others who wanted to deliver a cake. Even more wonderful folks who wanted to send cards and treats and I want you to know I am incredibly humbled by these gestures but unfortunately I will not be around to enjoy them. I've been informed, that due to some ongoing legal this and that, I cannot be at "General Hospital" after February 8th and since I know many of you go to great trouble to do something special, I just don't want to see anybody's efforts go to waste (especially the lovely person who always sneaks in the fine Irish Whiskey). If it's not too bold, may I suggest a donation to The American Cancer Society instead. Then some good will have come out of this...

...Miss you guys already.
Michael

Needless to say, if he (along with RH and KA go), so does 50% of what's left of my interest in this show.

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.

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....

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.

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...

Yep!

I just wonder if there will be any difference in acting. Easton seemed to lose all interest in Caleb after Tainted Love.

  • Member

It stinks that he is being forced out JUST as his character finally has a GH centric story integrating him that actually works

  • Member

It mostly is stuff shoehorned in from PC. He still has zero connection, or chemistry, with GH characters.

  • Member

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
