Members SeanM Posted October 11, 2014 Members Share Posted October 11, 2014 You are right, it was JJY. I believe Ingo was another one when he returned in 2001. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AlexElizabeth Posted October 11, 2014 Members Share Posted October 11, 2014 Gotta pay for Filler Miller's contract somehow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 11, 2014 Members Share Posted October 11, 2014 Like you've said, he didn't have much airtime for nearly 15 years. I too would be interested to know what kind of guarantee he had in his contract. He seemed "on contract" in name only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted October 11, 2014 Members Share Posted October 11, 2014 Just another example of Ron putting aside a consistent fan favorite to pay for and prop "his" cast. Just because an actor is from another show doesn't mean we want them here. "His" General Hospital is further and further away from the show most of us have enjoyed for decades. I understand that every show eventually needs to bring in new blood, but Cartini's GH is like the land of Misfit Toys..."Your show won't pay to keep you, we will, at the expense of the actors and actresses that have entertained us for years. He has dumbed down Anna and Tracey to the point of.... his PopUp appearances of vets is only to show they are around, once a month. Why is it so difficult to mine characters backstories and keep these characters relevant, rather than OVEREXPOSE a bunch of characters that the audience has no reason to care for? The fact that most of the action in many characters stories happens off screen shows that Cartini don't care about the fans. Their need to use POP CULTURE references to show us how clever they are has gotten over used, and just plain annoying. THANKS A LOT RON!!!!!!!!!!!! ! Now, JJY is off contract, yet Killer Griller Filler Miller will be on non stop until until it's time to prop their next flavor of the month, and we lose yet another favorite to once[if that] a month appearances Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Gray Bunny Posted October 11, 2014 Members Share Posted October 11, 2014 I wouldn't have thought he was on contract either. Is Kristina Wagner recurring? I'm assuming yes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members BKuzak Posted October 12, 2014 Members Share Posted October 12, 2014 When i saw the subject line about a VET, my first thought was Monica. Although i don't know if she is recurring or a regular. Lord knows we haven't seen much of her in the past maybe 10 (or more) years. Not since they had a producer who decided to kill off Quatermains. I know she's on a little more now but not like before. They even missed a perfect opportunity with the whole first date thing but they just used her to feul the Maxie Jones storyline. I thought that was sad. As she said, it was her first date since the first Bush administration when she and Alan were breifly divorced. But i guess we should be happy to see her in any kind of screen time. Sory to hear about John J York, but if you had asked me yesterday, i would have already said he was a recurring character considering he hasn't really been "front burner" in years.

Members DaytimeFan Posted October 12, 2014 Members Share Posted October 12, 2014 Monica's been recurring for a few years now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jjjg Posted October 12, 2014 Members Share Posted October 12, 2014 I figured he was already on recurring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 Me too. This is almost non-news Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 While it pains me to see another GH character off contract, JJY has always been worthless. I'm shocked he was still contracted to be totally honest. However, I thought LC was on contract? Sadly, she's not! More money for Miller and Stafford! Yay!

Members titan1978 Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 He was recurring before, I'm not certain when he got a contract again. LC got bumped by JFP I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members katie_9918 Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 Mac's been criminally underused for years. Sadly, this does not surprise me at all. I've given up hope that JJY and Mac will ever be appreciated the way both should be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ChitHappens Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 Really? I thought all this time LC was on contract. She told Valentini off and still was called back? Wow! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted October 13, 2014 Members Share Posted October 13, 2014 Yeah, she's been off contract since 2010 if I'm recalling it correctly. When Garin Wolf was HW back in 2011 he brought LC back in a more prominent capacity and it sort of stuck for her. Frank Valentini, for all that can be said about him, is very accustomed to working with difficult people. I'm sure whatever LC told him off about was a drop in the bucket compared to what he's dealt with before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
