GH50: October 2013 Discussion

[Mr. Vixen]

Now you know damn well Ava's adopted parents will be characters from the Edge of Night.

[cassadine1991]

Not unless they want to get sued by P&G, but I definitely could see that happen

[Eric83]

Don't know what you were expecting in this day and age of soaps. This is hardly a big deal but to each his own...

[Khan]

Not unless ABC owns the rights to EDGE OF NIGHT. Last time I checked, P&G/Televest owned 'em.

[Mr. Vixen]

Not having the rights has never stopped Ron before….Hence Kaka, SyphSilas, and FrancNo.

[cassadine1991]

very true...

[Khan]

Kiki and Silas are original characters (...well...technically, they are...) and Franco existed already in the GH universe.

True, Kiki and Silas were created (and Franco was recast) because PP's lawsuit against ABC forced Ron and Frank to relinquish the characters of Starr, John and Todd. But I've a feeling ABC has made it very clear to the two NOT to include in any way direct references or connections to AMC and OLTL (at least for the time being).

[cassadine1991]

Kiki, Silas and Franco are basically Starr, McBain and Todd under different names that's what Mr. Vixen mean

[Khan]

Oh. Well. That I can agree with, lol.

[AMCHistory]

Haha! I regret not moving to NYC sooner when I was more engrossed in soaps. I've had a fun time with random run-ins ever since.

[Vee]

I'm sure RC's a very nice guy one on one. There's a lot I'd like to talk to him about, and a lot I agree with him on. I was his biggest cheerleader before anyone knew who he was, and I thought his first year or so of work at OLTL was almost flawless. And I know all too well how the Internet massages our personalities.

But if you ask yourself - as I do - how GH today can bring back so many beloved characters and integral elements of the show's history yet still often feel slapped together and half-assed and not properly servicing most of that ensemble, that I think goes to the heart of the issue with the criticism in this thread and of the writer.

[Mr. Vixen]

LOL I was saying that the reason we have Kiki/Silas/Franco is because Ron didn't give a !@#$%^&*] about not having the rights to characters and therefore took many liberties with Starr/John/Todd…Resulting in Kiki/Silas/Franco. So I was joking that he wouldn't give a !@#$%^&*] about taking any character he wanted, lol.

[Khan]

Thanks for that, Vix. I didn't catch it before, lol.

[DRW50]

Will Morgan ever stop saying "MIkey"? Please?

[reallyhateskateonlost]

So Derek/Julian was distracted by Sonny's dimples and couldn't see that Sonny knew about him...lol

Shut up Loo-Loo
