GH: O’Connor/Van Etten OUT! Mulcahey/Korte IN!


Recommended Posts

  • Members

I'm convinced that Adam Huss doesn't have a contract because they went into a huddle & seriously tried to decide whether to invest in the Cassadines or not. This lines up with Avery saying they told her they were restructuring the show. If they still haven't decided, maybe PM's opinion will matter. Right now they can technically still stall. Nik is in jail & Spencer is thought to be dead. I would estimate that PM would want to have the Cassadines, so maybe for once the timing is right. 

Now yesterday Ava announced the sale of Spoon Island. Ruh-roh. Is this a sign of an ultimate decision? 

And, as we say farewell to Dan & Chris, here they are ...

IMO, the only reason Adam Huss doesn't have a contract is because they went into a huddle to decide whether to  or whether not to invest in Cassadines. That is also the reason they haven't decided whether to bring NAC back or go forward with his recast. Personally I think *maybe* they have now decided & a Cassadine has bought Wyndemere hiding behind a shell company. If that supposition is correct then things might FINALLY begin to happen.

With Sam possibly in play for Jason again, Dante is too good a character to just waste. While I would prefer JMB as Lulu, I could accept another recast. I liked Marci Miller on DAYS, so why not? Anyone but Emme.

It is a huge waste for Genie Francis to not have her family on the show. It has always played to her strengths, and it’s also beyond time for them to at least try Lucky again. If JJ won’t come back, then find me a suitable actor in that age that is not a daytime recycle. Invest in the character.

Some of the most impactful scenes of the last couple months besides Bobbie’s memorial were her dealings with the Spencer/Esme fallout, and Nikolas showing up at her penthouse. None of that had much weight without her. So if they have decided to move on from Nikolas and Spencer, she needs her other kids.

He has said in the past he was willing to return. After Tony left. The show has never pursued it. No idea if that still stands. Same with Vanessa Marcil- there have been meetings but never a real attempt to get her. It’s one of the reasons I am happy someone at ABC has started looking more closely at the show because we can’t keep limping along with what we are seeing. I am not one of those Fire Frank! viewers. I can’t wait to see what happens with some creative control taken away from him though.

I would rather drink Drano than watch Jason and Sam together again, but I won't be totally shocked if it happens if both Steve and Kelly are looking for more job security (and I suspect she might be). I consider the inevitable return of Steve to be the toll I must pay for Patrick Mulcahey. I just hope he finds something interesting to do with this spent character.

I will not be shocked if PM does bring back the Spencer kids. And allegedly JJ has claimed he'd be willing to appear but hasn't been asked. Who knows how long ago that was or what they could even get him for at this point, but it's undeniable GH shít the bed alienating him out of his contract with bad story in 2010-2011. He's not getting any younger, so I would try again.

Getting Vanessa back would be Job One for me. Maurice cannot handle frontburner story, she can; he can take a backseat to her. That writes itself. If it happens we'll know something has changed with Frank, because we've all postulated that he deliberately keeps her gone because she's too big for his vision.

There’s credits in that episode, and Roger Newman is listed as the Script Writer, not Mulcahey.

Mulcahey (and Courtney Simon) did write a lot of key episodes during this time. Notably, Mulcahey wrote Maureen’s funeral episode which won them the writing Emmy in 1993.

I have seen no evidence of this. If it were true, I think by now something, somewhere, somehow would have revealed it. 

Thanks for that info. I picked it up from another fan. From what their text said it was clear that they knew he'd written one of these Ed/Maureen scenes. They just got the wrong scene & I compounded their error.

I agree. I love me sum Dante. He's one of the few characters that humanizes Sonny and I love their repour. Add on Ava/Sonny as co-parents.

OOoo...Marci Miller is a good choice. I liked her starting off on DAYS. And I know that she flatlined, left, KM came back and left, and Marci came back with some of the spark KM had as Abby. I don't know if she maintained through her on/off appearances before the character was killed, but I think she could do Lulu. 

 

I definitely think it is looooong overdue for Lucky to come home. Like Brenda, he still has soooo many connections on canvas. I mean just off the top of my head, how would Lucky react to the new branch of the family tree with Cyrus and Martin? How would Lucky react to Liz...especially with Aidan coming out? If Nik recurs...what would Lucky think of his going-ons? Would a feud explode? What would he think if Sam/Jason got back together? Would he? I mean there is so much to do.

Yes, indeed. If a loose grip on the show leads to some happy returns ALL beloved characters and not just the ones FV can pick and choose, I am all for it.

Miller would really bring some depth back to the role, and I feel like she'd be amazing opposite Genie Francis & Dominic Zamprogna. Plus, that Spencer sass could finally come back. Plus, she has some connections with the General Hospital ladies, so it'd be comforting a bit:

    • I know Daphnee's back hurts, because she was carrying Maurice through those scenes! Still not loving the idea of replacing the actor, but he was giving very little.  Brandon's scenes with Leslie did not hit the way they were supposed to because I was busting out laughing.  One thing I enjoy about this soap is how it plays with the nuance of good and evil. Kat vs Eva and Anita vs Leslie. There are some things that Kat and Anita said that makes it hard to root for them and how the Duprees can be family over everything to a fault. It almost makes them come across as entitled and unlikely at times. And while what Lesile and Eva have done is wrong in different ways, you can see that hurt and sympathize.  Now, what I don't get is what Lesile thought she was doing expecting the Duprees to accept Eva with open arms. Honey, Eva is a Richardson not a Dupree. In the Dupree world, she's Ted's problem unless they choose otherwise, because there ain't a drop of Dupree blood coursing throught her veins (unless we learn otherwise in some twist). Ted is lucky if they don't disown his ass.   
    • I think maybe viewers needed a break from Aaron Spelling by 1985 or 1986. He had a series, Macgruder and Loud, which I recall, even as a young teen, getting TONS of promotion with even a post-Super Bowl slot, and it failed. Viewers probably were - as said here - tired of soapy fare and went elsewhere. But they must have missed him since, as we know, Spelling rose from the TV ashes in the '90s with Beverly Hills 90210 and Melrose Place!
    • I’ve been enjoying the pace the show has taken recently. Things don’t languish as long as they have and if they are drawing something out, like Gio’s adoption, it’s hasn’t been as excruciating. Also, my nosey nature would appreciate less interaction with posters I have on ignore so I don’t have to click on “options”.

    • Okay...I'm just going to call it. Ambyr Michelle is the breakout star of this show with the young set hands down! There is no character like Eva that pulls my heart strings, and she's playing it perfectly. If Eva and Leslie are on, it's a good episode! If written properly, Eva and Kat's rivalry is one that could go on for YEARS. Of course, it's fun to speculate about who is really whom, but I could see them developing as frenemies after some time. They really need a guy to tussle over to amp it up. Tomas is pretty, but the actor has got to loosen up some in his scenes, I think. He is improving though. It would be good to introduce a new young man in that story for a foursome.  Martin and Smitty finally feel like a real couple to me, too. Hopefully, they locked them into four year contracts.
    • I'll be that guy and say I don't think TMG is a fool. This is a popular contract role on a year-round soap opera for a woman of a certain age (to say nothing of a woman of color). If I'm her I pull a Kimberlin Brown and ride this til the wheels fall off.
    • Tbf it's not unusual for a family when they are dealing with some bad news that changes a life to use song to give out hope.Especially black families. I personally had to deal with that very thing this weekend. Partly off putting, but at the same time, I did get the point and it gave me a bit of hope in the moment.      MM is definitely acting. But Smitty is just so passive. It could turn into quiet strength at some point, but for now...passive IMO. 
    • Am I remembering correctly that the Madison's lived in a Spanish revival-style house? I have a vague recollection of the fireplace looking especially Spanish in style. It is unusual that Montecello had so many architectural styles.  Obviously, that might occur IRL.  But, look at other east coast soaps and there is a definitive style that is throughout (because it was styled by a set decorator) regardless of the income of the occupants.
    • @kalbir MSW was a powerhouse for CBS. Angela Lansbury was a superb actress. In 1985, TV viewers were tiring of the primetime soaps and the like. People wanted storytelling and MSW was great at that and had great guest stars. Storytelling -- an amazing and novel concept. CBS Daytime by 1985 was beating ABC so CBS was on the upswing.
    • I'd say just the opposite - conflict means they will find out and then be at odds. For the limited amount of time people on this show have conflict (if they aren't named Nina or Ric, I guess).
    • Totes mcgoats (aka I agree). But, now the character needs to move forward.  Clyde's exit was 12/11/24.  It is May.  She and Chad have been on one date. I don't think they've slept together. And she was only planning on sticking around for a year.
