No more Ric ????

I read this week in one of the soap opera magazines that Rick Hearst is leaving GH. He had been dropped to reoccurring status and was quickly snapped up by The Bold and Beautiful. Rick is a great actor and just last year won an emmy for his work on GH. I know all the soaps are suffering from budget cuts, but they need to hold onto to their good actors. GH has always been a show that was rich is history, but lately we have lost so many great actors and they keep bringing in these new characters who I really could do without and whom I know nothing about. I know the character of Ric was bad at times, but I also liked him. There was so much they could have done with his character. I was hoping in time that Ric and Sonny could become real brothers and like each other. He could have been a supportive Uncle to Michael and Morgan. Not to mention that he always had a great chemistry with any of the ladies they put him with. I liked him best when he was with Elizabeth. She always brought out the best in him. I could go on and on, but it would do no good. The damage has been done and we will be losing another great actor. Oh well Ric. you will still have a place in my heart..........

Welcome Back Michael

I'm usually not a fan of aging the children so fast on the Soaps, but sometimes it can open the door for a lot of great new storylines. I loved the little boy who played Michael for years and will miss him. But I think I will like the new Michael as well for different reasons. Michael is awake and well and not pleased with his Mom right now. The only time I liked the character of Carly was when it was played by Tamara Braun. Tamara was able to play Carly with her hard side, but she also could bring out a soft side in Carly that none of the other actresses have been able to do. Ever since Carly rolled into town, she has been hell bent on stepping on whoever she feels gets in her way. She came into town to destroy her own Mom and break up her marriage and has not stopped rolling over whoever she wants, with Jason and Sonny always covering her back. Now her own Son who she has drug all over Port Charles from home to home, has a problem with her. He is too big now for her do drag around and she has to face the music. She has no one to hid behind. I'm looking forward to seeing how she deals with this . I think the aging of all Sonny's children will be interesting ..I guess time will tell...

Hello Again

I took some time off blogging because I had a little run in with carpal tunnel. I decided since my work involved so much computer, I would limit my time otherwise. So back to General Hospital,I still have been watching and much has happened. Take for example Sonny and Claudia!!!! Who would have thought ????? I'm not sure who I want with Sonny, but it is not Claudia. She is the reason his son is in a comma.... It makes me cringe every time he is tender with her. I'm hoping that Ric will be the father. Sonny has enough kids and drama for one soul. Ric could use another off spring. Who would you like the father to be?????
