peachmangosteen February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 LMAO RC is such an idiot. I have to assume this announcement is super lame and he's embarrassed and like trying to get someone the fans might actually care about to agree to do an episode so he can announce something not dumb. 3 Link to comment
TeeVee329 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 In trying to be all clever, they really shot themselves in the foot with this. 2 Link to comment

TeeVee329 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 And you gotta love how this happened during Fan February. "We love our fans, this month is all about YOU! ...Uh, sorry, we're too busy to deal with you and make the announcement we said we'd make after already rescheduling it." 5 Link to comment

TeeVee329 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 And now FV and RC are tweeting each other back-and-forth teasing the reveal. JUST FUCKING SAY WHO IT IS! 1 Link to comment
HeatLifer February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 I just saw that. They don't even have to try anymore. They're officially trolls. 5 Link to comment
KerleyQ February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 With all the details they miss on the show, I wonder what they do in the notes meeting. I assume it involves them passing notes back and forth that say things like "OMG, the fans are such whiners!" and "AJ was totes fat!" 10 Link to comment
TeeVee329 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Who else was on Knots Landing? Joan van Ark, hence my JvA as Silas' mom theory. ;) 1 Link to comment
KerleyQ February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Lord, the back and forth between Frank and Ron trying to draw out the suspense. They may as well just be tweeting "I'm awesome!" "OMG! I'm awesome, too!" "I love me!" "I love me, too!" This is a whole new level of believing your own press. Jasus, they're obnoxious. 8 Link to comment
peachmangosteen February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 (edited) I'm so pissed it's for a new character. It's totally just gonna be something former YnRer yet again. Edited February 10, 2015 by peachmangosteen 2 Link to comment

KerleyQ February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 I'm 99.9% sure they scripted this back and forth last night and thought it would play as witty, off the cuff banter or some such shit. 1 Link to comment

KerleyQ February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 I can only hope that their emphasis on "Killer" role means she's a serial killer coming to town to off half the cast. Hey, Rebecca, I've got a list for you! 6 Link to comment
TeeVee329 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 I was very sick of Greenlee by the end of AMC (...although I guess it was more Ryan/Greenlee together than Greens herself), but Rebecca Budig does have talent and it's good they cast someone in a younger demographic for a change. Do I think this was worth the stupid, stupid games they played with this announcement? Noooooooooooooooooooooo. 1 Link to comment
ulkis February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 eeeeh, she's okay, but too many bad Rylee memories for me. And at this point some of the cast has got to go. This is crazy. Link to comment
Sake614 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Seriously? Daytime Confidential retweeted Luke Kerr @Luke_Kerr · 6m6 minutes ago Emme Rylan, Maura West AND REBECCA BUDIG on the same soap? It's my holy trinity! #GH #ATWT #AMC 2 Link to comment

HeatLifer February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 The jury is still out on how I feel about this. I actually really like Rebecca Budig. I adored her on AMC (not with Cam M., ugh). But this cast is already way too big. They can't even write for the characters already on canvas, damn. I don't know. Unless her character rescues Robin, I just don't care. 1 Link to comment

Gigglin' and laughin' like a bunch of young broads sittin' in a schoolyard. Well, let me tell a joke. Five guys, sittin' in a bullpen, in San Quentin. All wondering how the fuck they got there. What should we have done, what didn't we do, who's fault is it, is it my fault, your fault, his fault, all that bullshit. Then one of them says, hey. Wait a minute. When we were planning this caper, all we did was sit around tellin' fuckin' jokes! Get the message? Boys, I don't mean to holler at ya. When this caper's over - and I'm sure it'll be a successful one - we'll get down to the Hawaiian Islands, hell, I'll roll and laugh with all of ya. You'll find me a different character down there.

TeeVee329 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 And you know what, thinking about it? How does this qualify as a "Fan February" treat for "General Hospital" fans? It's really a treat for "All My Children" fans or fans of RB herself. 1 Link to comment

They did specify at some point that this casting announcement was separate from the poll about Serena/Mike/Stefan/SWSNBN, but they still were treating this RB announcement as part of "Fan February".

OnceSane February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Yeah, I thought this was supposed to be a treat for us, not AMC fans. Link to comment
UYI February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Having Joan van Ark on the show would make JZ's and LC's faces look positively natural. Which is just so sad. She was so pretty way back when; now she resembles a melted corpse. She should have listened to her old costar DM on how to do it right. Link to comment
Sake614 February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 Every one of these women should have visited Jane Fonda's plastic surgeon. That man/woman is a genius. I wish I looked as good as her and I'm 20 years younger! Link to comment
jsbt February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 (edited) I think Rebecca Budig is really talented and I think she'd be an asset to most soaps. That being said, she often struggles with bad writing and will check out on it entirely (see: most of her last decade as Greenlee on AMC, when she did not care for the Frons-forced Ryan/Greenlee supercouple). This will be a problem. What's more, GH is way too overloaded with extraneous people and "big gets" like her. It doesn't need more new folks. Unless she's playing Dr. Sarah Webber or something, I can't see a point. They're still so hyped about hiring anyone and everyone big vs. righting the balance of the show.

Ambrosefolly February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 (edited) I think that would be a good role for her. She kind of looks like Rebecca Herbst. She would be easier to swallow as someone connected to a legacy family and a doctor. Edited February 10, 2015 by Ambrosefolly Link to comment
UYI February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 (edited) The Fan February stuff was announced when I was spending less time here posting, so now that it will be soon, all I can say is this: It was a load of horseshit in 2003 when I was almost 14, and I am fairly certain it will be a load of horseshit now that I'm almost 26 (my birthday is on the 28th! :D). Aside from the obvious question as to why they bringing back something they only did once 12 years ago, there is the matter that, having watched the OLTL Fan February episode way back when, which featured the actors acting out a bunch of bizarre movie fantasies. Who the fuck was asking for that? The worst for me was watching Max & Luna act out some 007 homage crap (not that my bias as Gabrielle fan/Luna hater has anything to do with that ;) ). And it sounds like GH's episode that year was just as dumb. That said, I DO think fans wanted to see Cat Hickland and Michael E. Knight onscreen together, back when they were still married. I know I did. (I'm still kind of sad they divorced tbh.) And I guess I'll concede that there were Max & Luna fans who wanted them onscreen again. But do I HAVE to? ;) I am kind of interested in seeing RB on the show, although AMC, to me, was always the show I'd catch the last few minutes of before OLTL came on (and personally, I wanted Greenlee with J. Eddie Peck's Jake.). Edited February 10, 2015 by UYI 1 Link to comment
HeatLifer February 10, 2015 Share February 10, 2015 (edited) I'm laughing at all the people speccing that this is a Robin recast. Forgetting that Cartini specifically said "new character," but they would have to be dumber than ever to troll the way they did and reveal the recast of a 30-year vet during "Fan Feb." I'm cryinnnn.
