TeeVee329 January 8, 2015 Share January 8, 2015 Ron tried to tell that story with Nina, but only in bits and pieces and only for laughs (e.g., Nina "goggling," which admittedly was kind of cute). And that stupid joke about apps vs. appetizers, meh. 1 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow January 8, 2015 Share January 8, 2015 I can't say shit about that line. Apparently, Drunk Me got angry that apps for Windows 8 did not include Spinach and Artichoke Dip. I think I have to get another laptop. I have other ones, but that was the one to play on. Link to comment
Francie January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 General Hospital's bumper to the intro on hulu plus still features Todd Manning. One can easily tell it's Todd Manning because it has the characteristic Todd Manning scar. Funny with the pending lawsuit that they still are using a One Life to Live character. 5 Link to comment

jsbt January 9, 2015 Share January 9, 2015 Me three. And I agree with Jsbt. It was absolutely done out of spite. Well, we really don't know - who knows how the arrangement with Hulu works, I think it's far more likely that that company is just too lazy to update it or that ABC and GH hasn't had the time to bother. But there are moments when I watch them pushing Franco at all costs and I'm like, 'fuck this, they're doing it to me!' 3 Link to comment
Chairperson Meow January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 Hulu is really lazy. I cancelled my subscription, but I have friends who have it. I was told NXT is still advertised on there, despite the WWE claiming it's WWE Network only. So they could be lazy. Link to comment

tvgoddess January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 I wonder what their reasoning was. Certainly, Cartini would never tell her she sucks as an actress, would they actually admit that Kiki has been a complete and epic fail from jump? Makes me nervous about Ava though. That can't be a good thing for her. The only positive would be if Maura goes, I could give up this show forever. 3 Link to comment
ulkis January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 Strangely enough, I used to think Ava was a goner and now I'm not so sure. She's been very genuinely remorseful and taking responsibility for her actions the past few episodes she's been on. 1 Link to comment
tvgoddess January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 I mean, Maura's still taping, so that's a good sign. But you just never know with this regime. 2 Link to comment

UYI January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 The sentimental side of me that loved her as a kid on OLTL wishes me her, and hopes she uses this opportunity to finally go to college. This is all she has known since 1998, when she first began in daytime. Like her old co-star Erin Torpey before her, this will give her a chance to breathe and try something new.But the side of me that is tired of her taking over GH and Kaka the Vortex of Suck?BYE, Felicia! 2 Link to comment
MSquared January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 Yeah, that's what I thought too. But I guess she's been replaced in their hearts by the kid who plays Spencer, haha. I mean, maybe it was her choice?? I had the similar thought about the Spencer kid! It could have been her choice. IIRC, she bragged that she had signed a three year contract back in 2012. Well, the three years would be up. 1 Link to comment
ulkis January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 (edited) Yes, but they signed new contracts when they came back on - the ones they had as the OLTL characters were broken when they left. I guess it's possible their new contracts could have been only for two years or a year and a half or what have you.

Deputy Deputy CoS January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 I feel terrible but I am going to say it anyway, I hope she was fired. If she was, it'll mean that FV/RC are making a conciseness decision to fix some of the things that is not working on GH. I'll place the firing and replacement of the Sloan character into this category. I don't expect drastic change but change start with baby steps. 6 Link to comment

But it was pointed out on another board that there was the blind item about a multisoap actress on the way out and she didn't even know it. As of now, at least, KA could fit it. 3 Link to comment

Sadly, it looks like that is not the case. *sigh* So the only way we'll ever get rid of the pets on this show is if they leave of their own accord. Blech. Or just wait long enough for another episode of Ron's ADD to kick in and he gets so bored with them he bumps them down to recurring. Edited January 10, 2015 by BinkyMimo88 1 Link to comment

admiralrodcocker January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 Why are they trying to fill in the gap though, by either recasting or writing in a new newbie 20 something female? Focus on the ones you have, son! NuKiki or NuNewbie will be just as lame as the rest of the 20-30 something set and costing GH more money at the same time. 3 Link to comment

But I also doubt they'd ever let her go, so. It was probably her decision. And it really doesn't speak well that Kristen Alderson, who probably won't have much of a career in front of the camera, decided to quit. Her and the her OLTL are giving up on the mess of a show. Nor do I think KA and Kiki leaving would vastly improve this show, the only thing that will is replacing RC with someone that can write a soap and looking at the current pool of the usual suspects of head writers, that doesn't look very likely and FV stops hiring these super expensive name actors and lets Mark Tesseral(sp?) cast the show.

Aprilshowers January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 I'm glad she's gone finally, ironically she didn't bother me as much lately. I am kinda thinking MW is out and possibly ME too. I know there are supposed to be some others leaving. Link to comment
Deputy Deputy CoS January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 (edited) Chad's quick retort is suspect but I am inclined to believe him given the longevity of the showrunners' paternal relationship with Kristen. Regardless of whether or not she was fired, I am glad she's leaving. I'll always associate her with my childhood as Starr Manning, as part of the things I LOVED about OLTL despite what became of Starr in the latter years. Starr was the spawn of my all time favorite soap couple and was a Crammer and Lord to boot. I'll always have a soft spot in my heart for her for those reasons. But only as Starr Manning. However, she/Kiki is one of things I hate most on GH. She just doesn't fit and her acting is no longer my cup of tea. She should have a nice nest saved up as she's been working consistently since was 6 years old. She is young, if acting is no longer in the cards for her, she'll find another field to succeed in. Hopefully. Edited January 10, 2015 by Deputy Deputy CoS 6 Link to comment

ulkis January 10, 2015 Share January 10, 2015 Chad's quick retort is suspect but I am inclined to believe him given the longevity of the showrunners' paternal relationship with Kristen. I keep going back and forth. If she were fired, I don't see either her or Chad wanting to admit it, and like you said, given her relationship with the showrunners, I think they wouldn't feel the need to spread it around that she was actually fired. And she still has not said anything about it on twitter. That is weird for her. And I remember her interview from October about talking about how Kiki is a core character: “So much is happening right now!” the Pennsylvania native enthuses of her “GH” storylines. “She gets involved in people’s business, other than Michael’s (Chad Duell) business, which is really fun. I am really excited about the storyline coming up. It was so fun to shoot, and I feel like it’ll be really entertaining.” And the reason Alderson loves it so much is that she feels Kiki is finally getting her stride — as is the show in general! “I think that we’re really focusing on the core characters again; for awhile, we were bringing in a lot of [past characters], and I think now, they’re kind of like, ‘Ok, the characters that we have now, let’s really broaden their horizons,’” she explains. “And that’s how I feel, at least, as a character. The stuff that I’ve been filming recently that will be airing soon, I feel it was meant for Kiki. It’s making her really cool and independent from Michael, which is really exciting. I’m really proud of [headwriter] Ron [Carlivati], and I think that [the writers] are on the right track.” Though Alderson has been playing Kiki for quite some time now, she admits that she’s just now starting to feel that she has fully embraced the new character without too many elements of Starr. “When the change had to be made with Kiki, it was really tough. I called [Carlivati], and I was like, ‘Hey, am I playing Kiki right? Is everything good?’” she recalls. “He said, ‘You’re doing great, but it’s hard for me, because I instantly start writing you as Starr!’… Just because they all grew up watching me as Starr, which is great; that’s what makes the characters connect to me. So if that’s the way it works, that’s the way it works. And now I feel like there’s still enough Kiki from the beginning, but there’s also a little bit of Starr. It’s a little mix, and I’m proud of Ron, that he’s been able to do that, and grateful, because that’s why the audience is still liking me.” Talking about how Kiki is a core character, and that the audience is liking her, and talking about how tough it was to transition to Kiki, doesn't scream an actress who wants to go and try out new and varied roles.
