GH: Franco spoiler

[AlexElizabeth]

Is this Ron's next attempt at redemption for Franco? SMH!

7/18
(Brain Tumor)

Patrick learns that Franco has been suffering from a brain tumor

[ER Tosh]

At least he does not have a chip in his head like Paul Ryan did (no not the real one)..

[ChitHappens]

Oh, for [!@#$%^&*] Christ's sake! Epic fail is just that, EPIC FAIL!

REEEEEEdiculous!

[Eric83]

This is beyond words. RC will do anything to excuse this character's heinous actions.

[DRW50]

Lazy, pathetic writing, the ultimate copout. Typical Ron. And it will be hyped to the skies as wonderful soapy goodness.

I remember when GL did this with Edmund. At least he was a hot guy who had a wide range of emotions, not a tic-laden TInkerbell.

See gif.

Hardly! It's more about realizing what a complete and utter failure FrankenTodd has been and making an attempt to get the audience to accept him.

You have to ask yourself why this? I say this because 97% of the characters treat FrankenTodd like he ran a stop sign or they are trying to convince Carly that nothing was his fault.

Why do you need a tumor [when FrankenTodd is just an ordinary citizen who made mistakes]? The audience need convincing, so here we go!

Ron has basically become the Lindsay Lohan of soap writers. All you can do is watch him fall apart.

[ChitHappens]

+ 5 million!

Lohan is a waste of life, but not even I would go that far

[marceline]

I just mean that he's determined to self destruct. No matter how hard or loudly people try to stop him, he's determined to flame out and all anybody can do is wait for him to hit bottom creatively.

[Sindacco]

Haven't watched GH for months now but is Roger Howarth's Franco the same character as James Franco's Franco? Or was that an imposter and this is the real Franco?

[ChitHappens]

If Franco had to be resurrected, and that's a big IF, this should have been the way to go (to answer your question - Roger is a recast Franco aka FrankenTodd). Unfortunately, FRon decided, once again, to go for shocking filth that would rest on Roger's delivery of one-liners, and no real vision. Of course that isn't working, so we have to go for the played out tumor to avoid admitting failure

All out of retcons in the Glad Trashbag of Craptini, so a tumor it is!

[Nate4]

Oh poor poor POOR Franco :'( We should start a #Pray4Franco trend!

[Chris B]

So they white-washed everything he did in the past, NOW they're telling us he has a brain tumor? What was the purpose of making him Franco? I just don't get it. He's Franco in name only and has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING in common with the previous interpretation. He also is too old to be Franco. I don't understand why he couldn't have been a Steve or Tom recast. Or just a new character.
