Members titan1978 Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 Looks like Avery Pohl is finished on GH for now. They spent so much time with the character, the ending we got was such a letdown. https://www.soapoperadigest.com/content/avery-pohl-esme-exits-general-hospital/ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 I thought it was altogether "fitting & proper"! I think they wanted her to be the kind of all-out full-time villainess that can't be kept on the canvas for too long. The alternative would have been to have her pay a price & then have her possibly be a full-time person who was sly & devious but not evil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted February 2 Administrator Share Posted February 2 Aw damn. She was favourite out of her age group. Esme was the most interesting and most fun when she was scheming. Every show needs a schemer like her, someone who drives the story forward. I had hope that Patrick Mulchaey would get the opportunity to write for her and Heather because he's very good at writing parent/son/daughter scenes. I think he would've liked the Heather/Esme dynamic, or at least he would've improved that dynamic. Pohl/Chavez were so good together - they definitely brought out the best in each other. I guess it's fitting they left together. She was also really good with Lindstrom and Mills. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members John Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 Well neither character are probably dead and Esme could return for stints from time to time 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jdee43 Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 Full of potential, but written poorly, and in the end wasted -- a typical GH character. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 Bye, Esme! Avery Pohl is very talented but they played the character out for a year wasting her on trifles trying to half-ass a redemption arc. Esme is a fine villain and can come and go, she does not need a contract or to be defanged. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Liberty City Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 A strong, talented actor wasted in a dead-end role that should've ended months ago. Much like Chloe Lanier and so many others. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members titan1978 Posted February 2 Author Members Share Posted February 2 I liked her too, and she could easily have been the type of character you described for years. Look how long Sami lasted on DAYS before she was pretty much fully redeemed. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Contessa Donatella Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 I'm sure she will return. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 Esme and her awful-sounding name are leaving. It's a good day. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dio Posted February 2 Members Share Posted February 2 Avery Pohl and her gorgeous shampoo commercial hair. lol If she's really gone, I expect one of the other shows to snatch her up. I can already see her as a Ciara recast on DOOL, and since RSW is still on the show why not? A mess. Or maybe a new model on B&B? Maybe, she could be Sheila's daughter? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members slick jones Posted February 7 Members Share Posted February 7 Out with the Escarole... It's about time. If they had had her struggle between reverting to form and "the new Esme" maybe it could have worked (keeping her). Having her switch right to form put the proverbial nail in the coffin (for now). The bottom line is #firefrank will bring her back over and over, just like Chloe Lanier's Nelle and that Hannah O'Connor on OLTL. I'm sure this bad penny will return soon enough. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members j swift Posted February 9 Members Share Posted February 9 I think it is funny every time you mention hating the sound of her name, but in hindsight, it was a missed opportunity to explain her unusual moniker as a portmanteau of her biological parents names (Ryther? Hean?) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
