OLTL Takeover Gets Negative Reaction From Fans

Sorry for not blogging Wed. and Thurs. I was really busy with school work, yuck! I liked the Wednesday episode and the Thursday episode moderately; BUT TODAY, UGH!


Let me clarify, the show is getting better in some ways, but it's getting much worse in other ways. You know -- if GH goes out in the next few months, like it probably will: I want the last few months to be about Patrick, Anna, Luke, Lucky, Kristina, Molly, Morgan, Michael, Carly, Sam, Elizabeth, and even Jason, Sam, Sonny and Kate! I'd so much rather have a show with GH characters than this OLTL shit! I understand that it's an attempt to boost ratings, but as Scotty B (@scooterbeanbag) points out, it's easily becoming the Todd Manning show!

Further clarifying, I have nothing against OLTL, or it's viewers. It had as much of a loyal fan base as General hospital does today. And no one will argue that in its last few months, under the leadership of RC and FV, it got MUCH better. But here's the thing, OLTL is CANCELLED, GONZO, POOF, and it was cancelled for a reason. I'm perfectly happy if Todd, Starr, and Blair move to Port Charles, but they should get less airtime, or at least equal airtime, as the GH cast! When was the last time we saw Patrick? LAST FRIDAY, that's when! When days did we see the Manning family this week? Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. Um, what?! How does this make any sense, Robin just died and her storyline is pushed completely off to the sidelines, to focus on people most of us literally know nothing about. We wanted newbies Maggie, and Cassandra off the screen, and we got that! Great! But to me, and many, Todd is a newbie, and so are Blair and Starr! We don't want them in the town, much less having the whole show dedicated to them! It's ridiculous.  Also, Ron is really forging friendships between OLTL characters and the GH characters. He is writing Michael like such a creep! WTF Michael, go away! Starr doesn't want to see you every 5 minutes (and we don't want to see her! FYI)! Blair demanding drinks at the Metro Court to forge the Carly and Blair relationship, UGH! You're attempts at changing GH into OLTL are transparent.

Where are the Q's and the Morgans. Jason has be demoted from King of GH to being banished! I really hope he wakes up as a Q, RC would really be stupid to not do that. I would gain a ton of respect if he was Jason Q, the doctor, not Jason Morgan, the MOBSTER!

GH fans are pissed; OLTL got their ending, but unfortunately, it seems to be returning! There's so much more to say, but i'll leave it at this: I loved the GH direction up until Tuesday, from there on out, it seems like it's a sad attempt to save OLTL. Ratings are up, and I really don't hope RC and FV take this as a sign that their work is really appreciated. (It's not!)

A lot of people are really upset, and are voicing their opinions on twitter about the OLTL take over (including vet Tristan Rogers--Robert!), I have include some of the MANY opinions below, voice your opinions to Ron: @carlivatiron, and to Frank: @valentinifrank!

  1. I respect your opinion however the negativity on Twitter is limited to a small percentage of people. Be happy GH is being saved by One Life to Live. If it were not for Ron Carlivati and Frank Valentini the hospital would be closing it's door sooner rather than later. Yes I am a One Life to Live fan but also a General Hospital fan and I can tell you that, IMHO, the show has never been better.

  2. Totally agree with Jon. GH is WAY better because of OLTL. Can't get behind this stuff sorry.

  3. General Hospital sucked because of Guza and Phelps and making it the Maurice Benard and Steve Burton Show, What reason in the world could there have been to prop Jason/Steve Burton? His brilliant delivery and acting? General Hospital hasn't been saved at all. It's been jerked around and now is suffering from STUNT casting by characters that have no place on that soap opera. One Life to Live was cancelled, story over. How would you have liked the old Luke Spencer taking over OLTL? Pretty funny to think about. It's not better, it's just that OLTL fans can watch their characters again.

    1. Yes! People hated JFP and Guza for making it the Jason/Sonny show, but atleast we knew who they were, they had background with the show! Now what? We have new lead characters, that we know nothing about!
