I wouldn't be surprised if Frank did want this pairing, as he seems very hesitant about L&L2 and is probably trying to salvage Kristina with fans. I am not sure ABC would have stepped in, as there's nothing scandalous here, unless Varni or whoever is just a diehard fan of L&L2.

I know Jonathan has always been vocal about wanting LNL2 and not getting it despite promises in 2009-2011. I would not be shocked if he had some assurances this time, and I would not be shocked if FV tried to get out of it. I don't think he will be able to, especially not with the show's rocky past year (and the fact that the response to LNL2 has been pretty good from the audience, minus the Liason spam brigade which isn't part of the social media contingent GH pays attn to anyway).

I do think in a normal circumstance I might play Lucky/Kristina myself as a spoiler to an LNL2 endgame, with another character opposite Liz (not Ric). But after years of shortchanging Liz and FV's preferential treatment I think it's best to go straight for them, at least for now.

Jonathan not wanting it would make sense.

LOL....so does no one talk about Jake? I cant recall the last time either of his parents, nor Danny mention him. Jason and everyone act like he has one child and is about to get his next with Sasha. Liz acknowledges Cameron but Ive missed any Jake mentions

Jake has been memory-holed by Frank and Liz Korte for tiresome reasons.

Barcelona Boy? Or worse Spare Parts? Anyway, fans talk about Jake, yes, but actual residents of Port Charles? Not so much, right?

I do think there is a possibility Kristina could fall for Lucky and it's not reciprocated on his part.  He was just being a good friend and Kristina has a long history of misreading romantic intentions.   It then causes Kristina to spiral further and either have a breakdown or get some real help.

No no no to Esme.  Just NO.

Yes! Yes! Yes’ Esme should come back. I want Heather and Steve too.

Jake should return too. They haven’t done enough with him. He is a great grandson of Steve Hardy.

Nooooooo to Esme! Barcelona Boy, sure, just do a good job if recasting. 

I think that Portia will eventually be the one who murders Drew. She will be found out and her other secrets exposed. She will then go to prison and off the show, and Curtis will be free of her.

Thank fück "fans" (and I quote purposefully) do not write this soap, because they'd tank it harder than it is right now.

LOL!!!! I don't think anyone is going to be murdered, else I mean. The reason I'm laughing is you apparently want to save Curtis from Portia, when I would try to find some way to save Portia from Curtis. Curtis can kick rocks AFAIAC but Portia is soap gold. Obviously I respect your difference of opinion. I'm not laughing at you, at all, instead just the irony of who likes whom in any given pairing. 

I cant get into Portia bc of Brook Kerr. I still remember her stealing her son's money and that changed how I viewed her

Quote

I don't even know what other choices she could make with her material.  Kate Mansi isn't exactly the most warm actress and the dialogue and story she is given is beyond stale at this point.

I said the same about her on DAYS. Chewed the damn scenery too much but people praised her like she was the 2nd coming constantly lol

Hmm, I totally adore both Kate Mansi & Brooke Kerr.

It is two-fold, part of the Train Wreck story and "blue" & how that color relates to Carly & to Jason.
