Emma Samms got a very bad case of "long Covid" and couldn't film.
(putting detail behind the spoiler tag so as not to derail this "future anniversary" thread.)

  Reveal hidden contents

The Holly storyline was written just before COVID, and then was delayed when COVID hit, because GH was stretching out the already-filmed stuff by airing reruns etc.   Her storyline began airing during the beginning of COVID, and Emma Samms couldn't travel from England.

Meanwhile Emma Samms had caught COVID way back in March 2020 which
developed into a really bad case of "long COVID", so she wasn't up to travelling to the US even when it was safer to travel. She said she was having brain fog and extreme fatigue, so she couldn't really do acting at that time.
Emma filmed a ten-second scene from her home in England, (and that clip aired in Sept 2020, shown as if it were video footage on the monitor of the kidnappers' room.).

Tristan Rogers said in a Cameo.com video in Sept or Oct 2020 that GH had to drop the storyline indefinitely.

Emma was still suffering from Long Covid one year later, in March 2021.  Still extremely fatigued.

I guess we can hope that she's recovered enough to return to GH by the time the GH 60th anniv is filmed.

Lol. Agree. Hilarious.

 

God is good. 

what i'd like for the 60th🤔

60 episode release on Hulu, let's say 10 of the best episodes from each decade, or some thing like that.

some sort of major talk show promotion either on GMA or The View (perhaps the view because they did well for All My Children & OLTL finales). 

Fat chance but.....a week of classic episodes on abc itself. 

Get rid of several useless charachters, Brenda & Lucky's returns, Luke to be alive and some sort or tribute to Monica. Is the actress that played Audrey doing well or available?

Bring back the Hardys in some shape or form... Have the family buy the hospital or something. Then become arch rivals with the Cassadines... Kill Sonny! 

Bring back Wendy Riche and fire that idiot in charge now. Expand Coopers family to become the top family on the show with a more robust Asian Cast also kill off the dead weight actors.

For y&r, I'd like to see SOMETHING happen.  Maybe a character die in a car accident, bring back some popular actors and recast some past characters like Andy, Steve or any grown  children/grandchildren from any of the Foster boys.

For Y&R's 50th I'd to see the three Ashley's together and the three Phyliss' like what GH did with the 3 Carlys. Have Mary Jo come back. Do a new Sheila versus Lauren storyline, and the reappearances of Drusilla and Olivia. Bring back the David Kimball actor as his twin brother or something to terrorize Nina.

The thing about y&r and its not necessarily a bad thing is with their cast stability there isn't a whole lot of fan favorites to bring back..  Dru, a return visit by Jill.  50th anniversary would be a good opportunity to reintroduce either the brooks or foster families If they choose to.

As part of GH's 60th, here are a few ideas for short story arcs...

Lucky (Jonathan Jackson) returns when Robert contacts him to help rescue Ethan with Holly.  He bonds with the boys and he helps Elizabeth deal with her parents presence in her life. Possibly just a three month arc until Lucky needs to return to undercover work.  

 

Lulu (portrayed by Alexa Havins-- just a thought) comes out of her coma.   With Tracy returning, Dillon comes back to make Chase and Blaze's music video.  Dillon-Lulu-Dante-Sam quad develops.

 

Robin stops by for The Nurse's Ball (Patrick is busy working on his Medical Podcast 😉). Emma decides to transfer to PCU and stay with Anna. Emma helps a spiraling Cameron, working at Kelly's to make spending money, driving Josslyn crazy. Both are pre-med students, and a rivalry ensues.

Spencer and Trina get to kiss before they turn 40 🤣.

Austin and Mason return to Pawtuck, never to be heard from again. Maxie marries Spinelli and goes recurring.

Just some random thoughts

I want the ambulance opening back and Y&R to get rid of actors names in the intro.

GH, just actresses: Jane Elliot, which is happening. Denise Alexander, which surely can happen & Emma Samms, which no idea if it could. 

David Wallace’s Tom and Stephanie E. Williams’ Simone back on GH to introduce Dr. Tom Hardy Jr. 
 

Y&R:

Get those Brooks and Foster back on the scene! 🗣️Drucilla back from the dead!

I'd love all that but it will never happen.
