Members Khan Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 I agree. IMO, AMC/OLTL crossovers worked, because of Agnes Nixon and the fact that they were tonally similar, but GH always seemed to me to be a different species, if that makes sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 14 Author Members Share Posted February 14 Roger Howarth playing a Latino man? Lord....might as well cast Chandler Massey as Pepito. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 You mean you're not dying to see the Ben/Betsy saga from LOVE OF LIFE finally wrapped up after all this time?

I dunno, I've witnessed only 3 of the 27 characters he played on GH. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lye-C Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 (edited) When we’re down to only one CBS show, absolutely. ————————————— When you see a fellow poster referring to a fellow poster as a “mental patient” or an “it”, report their goddamned post.

Members Khan Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 [!@#$%^&*], and here I thought Y&R had an opportunity before Donna Mills passes away to right a decades-old wrong and make Diane the long-lost child that DM's LIAMST character, Laura Donnelly Elliott, had always wanted. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lye-C Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 I’m advocating for this because at this point GH, as the one and only remaining ABC soap, should be reconfigured as a “super soap” made up of characters from all previous ABC soaps. I’d even change its name but I suspect that would be too complicated. Just bring more ABC Daytime characters to Port Charles and transform the show into something special. In fact, this change should have occurred back in 2012 when Frank and Ron first came to GH. Better late than never. It’s not as if Disney is going to create a new show on Hulu or Disney+ to feature characters from OLTL, AMC, THE CITY, etc. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 (edited) General Hospital does not need to become a super soap lol. I am familiar with AMC and OLTL, but GH has always been my favorite. I don't need Maria on GH. There are plenty of characters from GH's history they should bring back. I don't need the Santos family transplanted to Port Charles. I'd rather the show figure out how to cast Lucky or Lulu instead or figure out a way to use Lois properly.

Members Lye-C Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 It’s GH’s responsibility as the final ABC soap to become a super soap. Hell, not just its responsibility but its duty. If GH had been cancelled instead of OLTL like it was supposed to, GH fans would be clamouring to see their faves on OLTL. One doesn’t preclude the other from happening. It would be so much smarter and easier to bring on the Pine Valley Santoses than introduce a new Hispanic family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members carolineg Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Nope. It's not GH's duty. Is it Days duty to bring on former AW actors because it's the last soap standing? No. Keep GH as GH. I, as a GH fan, would not clamor for Brenda Barrett to show up in Llandview just because I miss her. It would make no sense. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted February 14 Author Members Share Posted February 14 I haven't seen a soap to this day write a Hispanic family properly. I agree with @carolineg post above. This to me is not a good sign with PM coming in as HW. I watch GH on occasion and I had no idea who Blaze was and really don't care to. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Lye-C Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 Yes it is. We’re at a stalemate so we have no choice but to agree to disagree and move on. Passions had the Lopez-Fitzgeralds. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Maxim Posted February 14 Members Share Posted February 14 (edited) Writers should write characters that are interesting and in tone with the show. Anything else is just fan's dreams. And I have seen fans try to destroy shows for years with their absurd ideas. God have mercy on a writer that only listens to fans. I also think it's not the best to always recycle past characters - actors should be given chances to play NEW people. It's additional work and excitement for them.
