For me, I would only reunite Anna & Robert if both characters were leaving Port Charles. But, ultimately, I would prefer a reunion with Holly & Robert overall. In truth, the two Anna reunions I want are with Andre Maddox and/or David Hayward, or somehow one final resurrection of Duke Lavery. If I am being completely 100, I am not a fan of Robert in general.

Hey, we both like Robert and Olivia too.  Which will contradict my next point. I think Robert seems a bit old and curmudgeonly to be viable with anyone.   Anna and Laura just seem so much younger and vital.  Sorry Tristian!

That being said I don't understand the love for Holly/Robert over Robert/Anna.  I know I am wrong, but I honestly don't "get" Holly/Robert or Anna/Duke.

Idk, do we really think GH will end without Luke/Laura as a couple?  I know it doesn't make sense nor do I like the couple much, but I've always thought when the show goes off air, they will end up together.

Oh, I know everyone on this board including me agrees with you.  I just wonder if that's the perception of the entire GH audience and TPTB at GH.  The pairing still gets lengthy clip tributes even in the most recent primetime special.  Idk, it's part of the reason I don't invest in Kevin/Laura.  I just assume at some point they will convince TG to leave Amsterdam for a few minutes to reunite L&L.

From my POV, if Genie Francis has any say in it, I don't see them re-pairing them, even as endgame. She's pretty turned off by the pairing, both in terms of her treatment then, as well as the general idea of the couple given the circumstances of them being paired.

I think that Alexis will return to being a lawyer, because PM wants to write for (Santa Barbara's) Julia again.

Love seeing Laura as the mayor, she is involved in all this drama thanks to that. Perhaps recasting Kevin and giving the couple a more vibrant relationship is the answer? Although I hate it when soaps feel to pair their older veterans in a random way, just in order to give them something. 
BTW the name Laura Collins really annoys me, it sounds so wrong.

This IS predictably what will happen. So many people have said that Tony is not going to return. That he did not do so for the JZ Memorial should tell people something! He's happy in Amsterdam. He was miserable, at least at the end, at GH. And, it would be a big undertaking for a man in his late 70s to fly from there to here & set up at a hotel, etc. Luke is dead. Laura is not a Spencer. And, continuing, neither JJ nor Julie Berman can be convinced to return to the show ... Personally I wish someone could sell Frank on Martha Madison or Alexa Havins but Frank is stubborn when he digs his heels in.

LOL the actors can like whatever they want, doesn't mean it's not a boring pairing and can't be undone at a moment's notice. These shows are not a democracy, as they prove time and again. Just ask Ceara Connor on AMC.

As for L&L, it was Tony who vetoed reuniting them in more recent years. I doubt Genie would refuse to play it if it was put in front of her especially given her loaded comments at the time of Tony's exit (including in her farewell message to him), but unfortunately I don't think it will ever happen. So I choose to move on to something fresh, new and exciting for Laura. I love Kevin but that's not him for Laura and it never was. They were only put together because he was available on recurring and FV didn't want to hire anyone else for her.

I don't! I think it's ridiculous and shameful they unceremoniously killed Luke offscreen with zero impact, and ridiculous how they mishandled L&L before Tony left largely due to his own petulance. If they'd gone there as planned I would have been all for it, and I think it's a black mark on the show they didn't. And I'd argue most of the longtime audience will always be there for Luke and Laura despite understandable misgivings. A handful of dedicated Twitter people do not reflect reality, especially on a couple like that. If you go online you'd think Dex and Joss and Sonny and Nina are insanely popular with their 50-200 retweets lol.

    • Maeve makes a few sporadic appearances, but returns full-time the next spring/summer. She's back in time to see Bill and Michelle graduate, although she skulks around town and wasn't going to tell anyone she was alive.
    • Aww, yeah it's very heartbreaking and I mostly enjoyed the Nola/Vanessa scenes because they finally let their walls down and came together in a beautiful moment. So Nola was at the hospital already and bumped into Vanessa, who had MRI papers that fell out of her hand and Nola went down to pick them up and asked her what was going on. Later, Vanessa confided in her about her disease. Then, Nola told Zachary on the beach (he prodded her and already alluded to knowing something was going on with Van), and then Vanessa found out she told him and got a little upset. Now, however, Nola is strangely absent while everyone is mourning her death. I'm curious if Nola will actually tell people about her MRI results. I would assume so. Only Nola, Rick, Roger and Zachary know anything, although there is the MRI results letter from the mail that everyone has missed seeing at home. I'm sure it'll all come out at some point. But... I just saw the next episode and the opening already cut Vanessa out and added Dahlia and Zachary. I guess Maeve is gone for a long time

       That will break my heart seeing the town continue to mourn her and assume she's dead. I can't wait to see her return though, and I have to imagine feelings will be torn between loving that she's alive and being very angry she did all of this. While I hate what Vanessa is doing, I'm happy to hear it's not totally against her character. I think you're right, had Henry still been around, she wouldn't put him through this. I'm still surprised she is with Bill, though. I get her feelings on Matt, because she wants him to move on, but still very heartbreaking. I'm glad this was Maeve's choice to have a break vs. being fired.    Interesting, so I'm curious to see who they eventually pair Phillip with. They're flirting with a Phillip/Annie pairing, but I'm not sure if they'll go that route with the Jeva drama, her growing pill addiction, and Rick's past with her.  Ugh, yeah I'm so sad to see Bridget do a total 180 in the last couple weeks. She has always been a strong character from what I've seen, but now she's just bending over backwards to get Hart to love her and it reeks of desperation. Yeah, sure, this new Hart is eye candy, but I'm already tired of seeing Hart/Dinah have sex all over Springfield and the Cayman Islands haha.
    • Yes.  I remember them together during the early summer of 1986.  They didn't share scenes again for 30 years until 2017 because Carrie wasn't on the show when Anna returned during Sydney's kidnapping.
    • I can see Kim being that way. Well, Kyle didn't have to say yes. LOL. The suicide attempt feels plot-driven. I don't know if even Long could've made it work. She'd spent so much time trying to make Reva and Kyle into a couple, it feels odd to just have them give up. Not to mention how odd it is to have Maeve agree to marry him. Re Charita---surely they could've at least tried  finding clips with who was still there. Maybe they wouldn't have been "big" moments, but surely she'd interacted with Ross, Vanessa, and Henry. Vanessa had dated Ed, FCOL. But Mo and Rick were there---surely they could've bothered to find some clips of her with them (and they did interact a fair amount) and used them. And with Ed they could've found some shot of her talking to him and just not cut to whoever was playing Ed in the clip. That to me is what feels lazy---they had more than a year to figure it out, and they went with a bunch of photos. If you were sort of centering it on Rick anyway---then find clips with them and use 'em.
    • I definitely think it's time to write off Nina for good. I think her killing Drew might actually be a good idea. She could completely lose it after losing both Sasha and Willow and she ends up murdering Drew and eventually she gets caught and sent away to prison for a long time. 
    • I hope it's okay to post this here(as in from DC)  
    • Quick question - did Christie and Leann share any scenes together in the '80s before Leann left the show?
    • This is the perfect way to encapsulate the situation. So many morally-reprehensible stories were foisted on the show and its characters in ATWT's dwindling years. Rape should never be used as a cheap plot device or in a way that degrades the victim. Jack's sexual assault was another heinous example of how nasty the the show's tone had become. The fact that people like Hogan Sheffer, Ron Carlivati, Jean Passanante, Charles Pratt, Dena Higley, etc., somehow end up winning awards for their material, decimates the credibility and integrity of the awards, IMHO. Soaps used to have a solid moral core and did not originally wallow in the gutter, rolling around in filth and depravity just to be cool, hip, campy, or whatever else modern-day PTB aim for. Thank you. Cruelty, degradation and misogyny are not components which lend themselves to successful soaps, which have always been predicated on warmth, family bonds, and providing a comforting haven for their audience. The genre has been crippled because the cynical and ignorant executives in charge understand neither the shows nor what the audience wants to see.
