GH: People magazine special for the 50th anniversary

[OldGHFan]

Well why not put Zander, Brian & Claudia, Dan Rooney, Ruby, Michael, Joe Kelly and Jimmy Lee Holt on the cover? They were all supporting characters and fan favorites. You know why. It's because covers really do belong to the most iconic GH characters. How many SOD covers did those characters get? Not too many. But now we are talking People magazine and the 50th anniversary. The people on the cover should be iconic GH characters. But I can see we won't agree. No worries. Like I said before, I don't hate the cover, I just don't think two of the characters belong on it.

I think they were looking for someone younger people would recognize, and KS is known to alot of younger folks as Zenon.

You guys are forgetting the simplest answer - they needed someone of the current cast (presumably a girl) that had a photo done for the GH People shoot. McCullough isn't around and the only other options then are Monaco, Berman or Storms.

Considering that they've used stock photos from earlier days for the rest of the images on the cover, I see no reason why they couldn't have done the same with KMc.

This thread is hilarious!

None of those photos are new to prove your point.

Storms is a photo taken by People so...yes, there is

No I agree but they needed a new photo of someone otherwise it would look stale and it wouldn't make it related to People in any way since the photos were taken by them, for this magazine

Isn't that one of the promo pics from the shoot that was months ago?

[alexisfan07]

Not one of the ABC ones, the current GH cast (well, from like December I believe) did photos for People like the AMC/OLTL cast did for their goodbye tributes

Still doesn't explain why she's on the cover.

[alexisfan07]

Make a case for Monaco or Berman over her or drop it lol

Regardless of who is on the cover, the layout is not that great. They should have used a different photo of Antonio Sabato, Jr. or had the other insets as a beach theme. His photo just looks out of place. The space is used terribly. That 50th Anniversary logo should be smaller and placed closer to the top right corner or down at the bottom with the 50 years of love tagline. The gold background in the Sonny/Brenda photo clashes with the color of the magazine and instead of leaving the background in that photo and the Duke/Anna photo, they should have made it transparent to blend in with the other photos. Maybe then, the Jagger photo wouldn't seem like it doesn't fit. In fact, they probably should have placed it across from Maxie's instead of perpendicular to it.

The first few pages are viewable on the Barnes and Noble link

You can see tiny versions of every page if you hover on the bottom thingy. There are BEAUTIFUL pictures of the current cast but UGH to the OLTL three being included!

Lynn Herring, Tristan Rogers, and Kristina Wagner all took pictures?!

I need this like now.

Monaco and Berman don't need to be on it either!

Steve Hardy should've been on it and he wasn't!
