Ambrosefolly February 14, 2017 Share February 14, 2017 Yeah she is. She has a movie coming out. And CS is still largely associated with playing Serena. If you are going to do a recast a role like that, it can't be a lateral move if the person is still acting, it should be a SORAS. Link to comment

jsbt February 14, 2017 Share February 14, 2017 I wouldn't call it a swap out since Carly Schroder is not currently in the role of Serena and hasn't been for over a decade. That being said, I don't want KA playing Serena and I would welcome Schroder back (or anyone else playing Serena). 4 Link to comment

Harmony233 February 14, 2017 Share February 14, 2017 (edited) I Remeber a couple years ago Lucy and Scotty mentioning that Serena was younger than lulu and Maxie although technically she was born before lulu then again Maxie should be a few years older than lulu but the show acts like there the same age. That said I doubt there casting Serena anyways. Edited February 14, 2017 by Harmony233 Want to add something Link to comment

Cheyanne11 February 14, 2017 Share February 14, 2017 Burton's latest: Quote Steve Burton (ex-Dylan, Y&R; ex-Jason, GH) has launched www.burtonnutrition.com, a guide for losing weight and becoming fit. The online program offers tips, recipes and products to purchase to help achieve a healthier lifestyle. There’s also a VIP Club to join that offers more benefits, such as weekly webinars with Burton and other fitness celebrities. The actor tweeted, “So excited! A family business!

Asp Burger February 15, 2017 Share February 15, 2017 Oh, no. That hits me hard. I did not even know Jay Bontatibus's name, but I certainly remember Detective Andy in 2002-03. He was the kind of recurring character you noticed. JB was a very striking man. There was a scene in which he carried Liz in his arms out of some kind of danger, of course making her look as heavy as a 5-pound sack of potatoes. People on message boards were already shipping them, just on the basis of that! The writing ultimately took him in a villainous-cop-on-the-take direction, when he was revealed to be a Luis Alcazar associate. Anyone who missed him or wants a refresher can see him at the four-minute mark of this vid, beating up Stefan Cassadine (who then gets his face burned). RIP, Jay. There is just nothing to say when someone dies of something so terrible and prolonged at such a young age, other than to send best wishes to his loved ones, and be grateful that his suffering is over. 3 Link to comment

Of course, Robin was born offscreen BEFORE both AJ and Jason, which means that J&R technically should've been an older woman/younger man relationship, so what do I know?

I think it was the overexposure of Sonny, as well. There was a time he was a lead and the show was extremely popular, good, and well-written. But, the fact is, he should have been written off (or given significantly less screentime) by now, along with a bunch of other longtime characters. The show needed to evolve. 12 Link to comment
Asp Burger February 18, 2017 Share February 18, 2017 (edited) No argument on the Sonny issue, but I put up with that for a long time. But there was a time there a few years ago when suddenly it seemed General Hospital wanted to be any show except General Hospital. I was more or less rolling with the OLTL imports, even Starr. But then when they started up with the vampire BS, as if tying up loose ends from a spinoff that had been dead for a decade were of utmost importance, and suddenly the TWoP equivalent of this board was swarming with people talking about Port Charles storylines, I was out. (Not that the non-Port Charles-holdover storylines were much better around that time. Pickle relish. Then General Hospital became a promo for The Chew for a week.)

ulkis February 19, 2017 Share February 19, 2017 More from that fan event: Ok bear with me as I'm on my phone. Just spent 5 hours with Laura, Robert, Hayley, Finola, Jeffrey, Bryan, and will. As for Killy, Laura was a no, but Robert and Hayley said yes then maybe or at least they had been together. Lol I asked Will why he, Nancy, Kelly, billy weren't doing GH convention and he said they didn't like how it was organized on a that end. No specifics. Laura is the protector of all things GH. When I asked why must Franco be around Sam, she said they aren't together. I said I know but we Sam fans hate that she has to interact with him. She said there's drama in it then asked why I cared so much. I thought that was weird as you'd think they want us to care. Lol Will asked how we felt about the livers coming to GH and everyone but me and a handful of others think it's great! Finola is my new favorite! She's witty as hell. And itty bitty. Laura is a normal size person which was nice to see. Bryan said many want Morgan back and after meeting him in person, I like him now.hes not as childish. Someone asked if he's getting married and he said not yet and Laura told the person that's none of their business. Mother hen I tell you. I did ask him personally and he said he and Kelly were on a break and working through stuff. Someone mentioned not liking Nelle and Laura got defensive. Lol 1 Link to comment

I mean there's defending your show and then there's being a bitch about it and she seemed to veer into the latter. But that's just one person's account and also it is hard to tell in writing exactly how someone comes off. Still I personally always get a vibe from LW that keeps me from being able to really like her. Also, the 'ha ha' Carly laugh she does is the worst thing I have ever witnessed. 10 Link to comment
