Members titan1978 Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Steve Burton actively tanked Jason/Carly, even to the press. Kelly Monaco tanked her reunion with Jason because she wanted to stay paired with her real life partner, Billy Miller, and then was just mad they wrote him off the show. Truthfully there was a lot of wrangling about couples by the actors on GH through almost all of the 2000’s, especially when JFP was there. Don’t get even started on whatever Sam/Jason/Liz was supposed to be and kept being dismantled by the talent. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Excellent memory! That was the way they started. Neither side was sure whether it would work out, so that was what was behind that, initially. Now they're in hog heaven, she's happy & they're happy. She's agreed to stay longer & they've left it open-ended. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 I don't know exactly how their long break-up happened or why, but it's often been put on one or both of the actors. I do know HBS was very unhappy about the ONS with Sam Rappaport though, and tried to get killed off over it. She wanted Nora to die in childbirth, she was that upset about the story. Regardless, they took to the reunion wholeheartedly when it finally occurred and it was like no time had passed, and they both were clearly thrilled both onscreen and off. Doesn't always happen that way. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members John Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Yeah I think they are leaving it open. She is basically recurring now like WK, LL, KS & LH 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 I think we should also consider that GH's ratings have been tanking this year, so they might be desperate. Personally, I've enjoyed the recent sweeps. As well as a more just focus across multiple characters. However, if TPTB feel that SB will bring back viewers, then they might scoop him up. I always say that the only thing that Steve Burton's acting inspires for me is the memory that we should be wearing more sunscreen as we age, because that skin is rough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 No "might" about it. Only waiting out the "no compete" clause. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 (edited) Productions in California can't use non compete clauses due to state regulations that are currently the model for a federal ban by the FTC (look it up, it was a big story last January), so that is an uninformed opinion.

Members titan1978 Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Yeah I know all about her feelings about that story. I believe I read an interview with her that she went right out and said they broke up a popular couple to help prop up JFP’s agenda with the Rappaports. Everyone involved seemed to love CH as Lindsay, and nobody seemed to enjoy working with KB as Sam. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lye-C Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Interesting. I thought she said she was moving to the East Coast. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members wingwalker Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 No idea how much DAYS paying him, but I hope DAYS uses his salary to bring back some characters viewers actually give a damn about. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 I'm pretty sure Hillary and Mark Derwin famously dunked on KB while barely not mentioning his name in Jeff Giles' book - referring to an actor they both worked with who just read lines strewn in hiding spots on the set. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 I doubt it with Ron as HW. The show has gotten so much better now that he's not writing it. He was already blabbing how great the show will be again in six months. That's when returns as HW and I tune out again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted January 4 Members Share Posted January 4 Here is where it gets ironic. How many of us are dual fans - both DAYS and GH? How many of us dual fans do not care for Burton? We're about to experience him on both of those shows, probably for several months. Geeze. WHY did I have to think this?! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
