The other thing is that GH apparently tapes 3 weeks, and then stops for a week before taping for 3 weeks again, according to Lynn Herring in a recent interview (http://rdsn.net/buzz/2013/04/18/podcast-498-lynn-herring-of-abcs-general-hospital/), so there would always be that one-week break during which Roger Howarth could fly out to Connecticut and shoot some compressed OLTL scenes.

He could really keep that going indefinitely if the GH and OLTL shooting schedules stay the way they are.

Just his attitude towards the show and Erika Slezak, and his manner of speaking/interacting ... Nothing specific. He just seems really nice and enthusiastic.

Also I think it would be a good idea if Jeffrey was bisexual. Corbin gives off a certain ambiguous vibe in terms of his sexuality, and I think the show could benefit from using that in its storytelling.

How so? A day takes place over two or three days on a soap. The characters were on GH for a few months or they were on for a year. Both and neither are true.

Not just on soaps either ... Degrassi also has a half-year take place over a year. It's not a big deal to me. OLTL will probably leave it rather vague.

Also let's not forget the long tradition of SORAS.

    • Same This show can be so frustrating to watch because of the awful one sided writing.
    • It was quite interesting. Drew is seriously grossing me out. I know they'll never get rid of CM, but this brewing up to a good murder mystery.
    • But their scenes are always fun...given whom HW name is on the top that day.
    • I had to hit FF the minute he showed up on the screen. It's too much.
    • Oh, yes! It's Nurse Ball Week, isn't it?   Lord give me strength...or apparently a good catfight going by the above.    
    • It's still dragged though. Nina and Carly's fight was good, and although it was intensely weird, I actually paid attention to the Curtis and Drew scenes.
    • Dante STFU!! Gawd this Gio hate is so forced. Dante blame your idiot son! He's responsible for landing in the hospital.
    • I think Steve and Chase (with Adair) are dropped fairly quickly into John Whitsell's run as EP. I didn't think Tomlin wanted those characters out especially given how much effort was put into resetting Chase, a character Tomlin didn't create, and Adair by placing them at the paper, testing Adair with Ryder, and then having Chase discover Estelle was alive. Steve got an actual onscreen goodbye, but Chase and Adair later go an offscreen exit to San Francisco or somewhere else in California.  They chem tested Steve Kendall and Suzi in September, 1983, just as Elizabeth Swankhammer started as Suzi. Steve saved Suzi drowning in a lake on location. I felt that Suzi / Steve was meant to be the post-Suzi/Warren story with Stephanie possibly manipulating Suzi and Warren to keep both Warren / Wendy and Steve / Suzi apart. I assumed the plan was (at some point) Stephanie / Lloyd. Or it should have been.  I don't think Bela should have lasted beyond the circus story. If I had to sit through some sort of triangle, I would want to see it end with Bela dead. Even in a bad recycled plot, but ultimately I don't think Bela had any real story potential and should never have been paired with either woman. Under Mayer/Braxton, Sarah became more conservative and judgemental over the course of the last month or so of their run. I don't think Tomlin's version was as layered from what I remember.  @DRW50 I think Conroy lasted a full year June, 1984 - July, 1985. I always assumed he left, but that was just speculation. Phillip Brown's Steve just seems to have disappeared.      Cook played Lloyd's first wife and Steve's mother, who was named something other than Estelle, in a flashback sequence to reveal the secret that Martin was Steve's father. She had a name other than Estelle at that point. This would have been fall of 1983. 
    •   Vanessa is bordering on nasty ho territory. Normally I agree with you @Soapsuds but not on this. Dani opened up to Andre about her insecurities since the end of her marriage, and Andre listened and supported her. Their booty call hook ups are so turning into love.
