Rick Hearst did it. Megan Ward did it…and it didn’t matter. NuKristina had one within a nanoweek of joining GH. Know what it is? A CONTRACT!
**BREAKING NEWS SID just reported on 7/1/09 that YES, Lisa LoCicero SIGNED a contract today! I guess they read my blog and just did it. LOL.***
Usually when players are dropped to “Recurring” it’s a sign of bad times to come. “We’ll call you when we need you”…or if they are down to “Day Player” we know something might be up. BUT, what happens when a popular character who’s part has expanded over time doesn’t have a contract? Hmmmmmmmm. Boggles the mind. I’m talking about Lisa LoCicero…
She came on as Kate’s cousin, threatening to tell “Connie’s” secret to Port Charles. She’d drink a beer (out of the bottle!) at Jake’s. We kinda knew it was coming; she actually had a son by Sonny. (because you know, even in HS Sonny’s ‘boyz’ were on the prowl). Since then, Kate’s evaported (notice the dropped Crimson storyline)– and Olivia’s moved on to have a hot steamy romance with Johnny. In any other actresses’ hands, this could have been a campy disaster. In LL’s, it’s magic.
So, it’s a puzzle. Why do some vets get knocked down to recurring, others “hold out” for a better contract, some sign and get ditched anyway? I do know that on recurring you don’t get the same benefits as a contract player. Guess it’s a good way to save money. All I can say is that GH has lost a good actors. Don’t make another mistake. JoLivia and Spixie is about all there is left to surprise me on this show. Now the spoilers say Olivia and Sonny are going to heat up. GOD FORBID any woman escapes those clutches!!

I can’t believe that Lisa L. doesn’t have a contract yet, just like I can’t believe that Sarah B., who is really a lead actress as far as I can see, has been on the show for so long and not in the opening credits. I think the girl who plays Kristina is pretty good – reminds me of the young Amber Tamblyn, but Lisa is fabulous.
I agree JoLivia are totally hot. Then again who doesn’t have chemistry with that hunk Brandon Brash. They need to explore that relationship some more. Of course he needs to be shirtless as much as possible.
I really don’t want to see Olivia hook up with the destroyerofstrongwomen Sonny Cornithos. Although it seems the writing is on the wall for those too. I would rather have Kate come back and fight for Sonny. While she’s at it, kick some Claudia butt. Sonny’s love scenes (if you can call them that) with Claudia are a total gross out.
Yea…I am quite bothered by this…I just do NOT get it…How do you not have Sonny’s baby mama on contract?…Besides the fact that LLC is a fabulous addition to the GH cast….
I really don’t want to see Olivia with Sonny, either. Right now, Olivia is one of only a handful of characters I can stomach on this show (Alexis, Johnny, Robin, Patrick, Tracy and Lucky are the others). Putting her with that greasy sleezeball will destroy everything I like about this character. She’ll become one of Sonny’s “womyn” who will lose her fiesty independence and must be “saved” by our two-foot tall, Napolean-complex mobster.
Regarding Kate: Does anyone know the background story as to why they are just turning this character so invisible? I don’t understand the laziness of writing her “on a cruise.” The character has such huge potential. Is Megan Ward difficult to work with, or just “not into” the hectic pace of daytime tv? I know that there have been good actors who have gone into daytime and just couldn’t get used to the tons of script memorization and daily work schedule.
Just some of the reasons that Gh is tanking right now.
And I love MB-but seriously, does Sonny need to have every single woman on the show in his bed? I think only Elizabeth and Monica have been immune.
LLC was brought on and I thought we were going to get a good s/l SURPRISE she has turned into the new good Claudia, really since the beginning of time who want’s to see the SAME woman over and over again? Not me, Megan Ward was the actress with the potential to give GH a intelligent women to go along with Alexis, Dianne, Monica ect, But No she had to become the one that was destroyed, as much of GH has been destroyed for the same old, same old. By the ratings and the coveted18-48 group they are losing not winning, when the Skate s/l was HOT the ratings were off the wall, what do we have now, two identical women, Claudia & Olivia, and back to the mean, ill-tempered, Sonny, he was interesting with Kate, he is unwatchable with SJB & LLC, come on writers you had the s/l and blew it, also there are so many of us Meganites that we only catch up with GH on the web, the young s/l are already becoming boring, Boy would it have been great to see Crimson take on the nurse’s ball, would have been fun to see Kristina want to be a model instead of the same old teen rebel. And Oh to have seen Kate take Olivia down a peg, and to see her fight for Sonny and take Claudia on, I think Kate was the original baddie from Bensonhurt not the Mrs Robinson we are getting, to bad GH, you had it and blew it, BUT I think the ratings viewers aka TPHB are seeing that already.
Jodi-
Don’t forget about Alice and Epifany they have escaped Sonny’s clutches. Has he really been through all the leading actresses on the show? What a man whore!!
He was never with Bobbie, Laura, Lucy Coe, Chloe or Gia!
I have never understood why he gets all the women. What about Mac?
[...] Lisa LoCicero just got a contract on General Hospital. Will it matter? Either way, we’re happy! (Wubs.net) [...]
It’s just all so lame. I don’t know how anyone watches it. Megan Ward being bumped down to recurring and now this chick getting a contract? Are you serious GH? It is so unfathomable that Olivia has literally STOLEN Kate’s entire story. And for what? Sorry but LLC is 1/10 the actress of Megan Ward, not to mention it is ridiculous that these complete rewrites that have messed up the last 3 years of history have completely made Kate’s character seem like she is an obsessed psycho when it couldn’t be farther from the truth. I can’t wrap my mind around the fact that Megan was bumped down to recurring. And the fact that llc got a contract… I can’t even go there. So unbelievably retarded.
I for one am livid at the fact that LLC was given a contract. She is not NEAR the actress Megan Ward is. There is literally ZERO chemistry between LLC and Maurice. They come across more like a crappy version of Sonny and Lois to me. Who gives a crap that Sonny and HOlivia banged as teens? That wasn’t even a fact until Guza got his grubby little hands on things. The re-writes of old and new show history is appalling. TPTB expect me just to forget that SKate ever happened and now they want me to try and stomach a SOlivia pairing (‘aka’ CheapSKate). It’s contrived, it’s ridiculous and the fact that this story was handed to her, on a silver platter, at the expense of the actress who put her time, heart and energy into it, she should be ashamed of herself for riding on someone else’s coat tails into getting a contract. Dante is here now. Soon as Sonny finds out about him, Olivia should pack her bags and head back to Bensonhurst where she belongs. I’m sick of her.
You know, these are hard times for anyone to find a job, and actually be able to keep it…so for that matter, I’m happy that Lisa has gotten some sort of reassurance for the next year or so. But what I don’t understand is why new actors are being hired every month on GH, yet they keep letting actors whom have already been on the show, and have huge fan bases, get away. Losing Rick Hearst was bad enough, but now the writers have completely “lost interest” in the character of Kate, and I feel so horrible for Megan Ward. As one of the many fans that Megan has accrued, I can assure you, that this is just shocking. It’s pathetic that in less than a year, the story for Kate has diminished to nothing. Seriously…for goodness sakes, Kate was the reason Olivia was introduced to Port Charles, and yet now Olivia is getting loads of story but Kate is not. And the funny thing is…is that most of this story for Olivia has already been played out before, by KATE. Why swap one cousin for another? Okay, and this is not my bias showing here, but it’s not like Megan has performed any less than Lisa…in fact, I think Megan has been absolutely amazing…so why treat her as if her character that she’s worked so hard to establish, doesn’t matter and never has. It’s disrespectful to the fans, and most importantly, it’s disrespectful to Megan!!!!!!
This is so wrong all way around, again fans don’t get what they want!!!
IMO the way things have gone down over the past nine months at GH – they have shown their true colors and they are ugly! The way Megan Ward was treated in particular makes my stomach turn. She deserves SO much better and so do her fans and the fans of the show who had invested time and faith in the storyline written over the past two years. With complete disregard they bring in this character (one first thought to support Kate’s character) only to have her forcefully injected into Kate’s shoes for God’s sake and suddenly Kate is no where to be found in the storyline and/or completely out of character saying or doing something anyone who payed even half attention knows just isn’t right.
LLC deserves GH and vice versa – screw them both! I’m done. I have to believe what goes around comes around and believe me when I say that if and when Vanessa says she wants back in – LLC will be a very distant memory.
Popular character? You did NOT really use the word “popular” to describe this train wreck of a story-stealing, Carly-cloning, over-dramatic, insignificant character??? Woo hoo lucky for LLC to have her contract. As you pointed out, Megan Ward had herself a contract too. So that the show could use her for whatever they had planned for Sonny, and then could drop her in a second when their “looking at the shiny object” mentality kicked in. Course they need to make sure she’ll be there for the “big” Dante story. But beyond that, she’s unnecessary. I would wish her good luck, but then that would be insincere.
PS Once the Dante story is over and the predictable, forced “Solivia” union backfires, LLC will be gone. Contract or not, they can be ended every 3 months. And it should hopefully take about 3 months for this ridiculous Dante story to be over with.
During the past few weeks, fans of GH have had to endure seeing Sonny in scenes with Claudia and Olivia. The ratings have been dropping like a rock. While I realize many things can play into that, I feel that these characters are part of the issue.
I still keep asking myself, why is Olivia even in Port Charles? If she wants to keep Dante a secret from Sonny, it would be much safer to go back home to Bensonhurst. She now seems like a Kate wannabe after making digs at Kate for leaving Bensonhurst to make a better life for herself. I find Olivia to be just another Carly, with her manipulative, hypocritical, lying behavior. GH does not need another Carly.
Add to the problem that rewrites have created a faux-livia Bensonhurst story that many do not buy into, and you have a recipe for disaster. GH should have cut their losses with Olivia months ago. Olivia is all over the screen, but let’s face it, she is an expendable character. She really has nothing to do but to usher in Dante. Instead of seeing more of Kate since Olivia came to town, we see less of Kate. It feels like the tail is wagging the dog.
I find nothing to root for in the upcoming storyline. Placing Sonny between TWO manipulative, hypocritical, lying women is not root-worthy or even worth watching. Olivia is one of the reasons I do not enjoy GH anymore. I miss the depth that Megan Ward brings to the screen and to her scenes with Maurice Benard. I only hope someone at ABC/Disney steps in and salvages this show. I think wrongs will only be righted when Megan Ward gets HER contract back and HER storyline back.
Offering contracts to expendable characters while putting major talent on the backburner is not endearing to viewers. Insulting the intelligence of the viewers is not the way to maintain viewership or to draw new viewers.
This is in response to Zak’s question…
Zak, I know that the lack of Kate’s storyline has nothing to do with Megan. It has been stated numerous times, and by many different people, that Megan is a gem to work with. And I don’t believe it has anything to do with Megan not getting “into the hectic” filming of daytime. I actually recall Megan stating that she enjoys it, and thrives on it.
I hope that answered some of your concerns. Poor Kate just didn’t stand a chance after Port Charles inherited the Flopsy Triplets…meaning of course, Carly, Claudia, and Olivia. I guess the writers believe that only one type of woman can survive in PC…and Kate being one of the strongest women on the canvas, just didn’t belong.
I’m very disappointed in GH but what else is new. They dropped Megan Ward for an utterly talent less person. Megan has more talent and ambition than LoCicero has in her pinky. Kate should be involved in Michael’s recovery storyline and this “Dante” crap. Kate knows both these secrets and yet she’s nowhere to be found. It’s like she never existed. And Kate owns Crimson and yet Maxie and Lulu are always running it while Kate’s “in Europe” or wherever the hell else TIIC decide to send her so that they don’t have to write a story for her. Ridiculous. I guess congratulations are in order for Lisa LoCicero but I don’t really care and I probably wouldn’t mean it either. I hope she has a wonderful time working with all those lovely people. I won’t be watching.
And calling Olivia a popular character is quite the overstatement, don’t ya think?
POPULAR?? POPULAR my foot!!!! UGH!!!
This is the BIGGEST slap in the face to Megan Ward fans. Megan IS the Popular one NOT Ollie the TROLLEY (LLO). Megan Ward is stripped of her contract, and NOW LLO gets one? UNBELIEVABLE! GMAB if viewers didn’t care about this “two faced Carly wannabe” in the beginning, Giving LLO a contract, is NOT going to make viewers suddenly watch her now!!!!
THIS IS JUST SO WRONG!!!!!
very overstatement kristina
Congratulations to LLC for getting a contract,it couldn’t have happen to a better actress.Seeing as GH took Megan Ward ,Rick Hearst off contract and refuse to give one to Carolyn Hensey(sp),I don’t find it unbelievable they would give one to the obviously “talentless”LLC,I mean she is in good company,they also gave a contract to the equally “talentless,”Nathan Parsons.So,congratulations,LLC,you swim amongst the mediocre acting pool of GH.
Good Lord. I write a blog about Lisa LoCicero getting a contract, and it’s like the gates open for actress bashing. I never understood why fanbases can’t just BE NICE–I never said Megan Ward wasn’t a good actress, infact, I’ve been very vocal about her leaving and the way she was treated. Ditto Ric Hearst. Why do you have to like Megan OR Lisa? Come on–it’s NOT one or the other. Sarah Brown came on the same time–Natalia came back, and there’s been MALE actors too. Why would anyone think that it was a choice between Megan and Lisa?
I expect this type of thing from couples fanbases, it goes on forever–that’s why I refuse to have “who’s the better couple” polls and that kind of crap. One site even went down due to robovoting when they dared ask about recent GH pairings.
And yes, btw, I do think Lisa’s character of Olivia is popular. My opinion. That doesn’t mean I don’t think SKate were popular or that the character of Kate/Connie needed to be written off.
Like I said, BE NICE. Geesh…
I can’t blame LLC for wanting steady work and pay but what GH has done to Megan Ward is disgusting (as has already been mentioned). When Olivia first came on the canvas there was hope that she would be an allie for Kate and bring more of the Bensonhurst story out. But what she was actually there for was to steal all the story away from Kate. I do not care one bit for all things Olivia and actually I do not care about GH as a whole.
I did enjoy Sonny when he was with Kate and I think that was because Megan Ward really kept Maurice Benard on his toes. The two had good on screen chemistry together and they made you want to root for the couple.
Congratulations LLC but as soon as the writers are tired of writing for Olivia she too will be destroyed and never heard from again.
Contract or no contract, the problem of course is that I simply do not buy Olivia’s backstory with Sonny. I don’t care how hard they try to sell it.
I mean I buy that Sonny banged her as a teenager, but the rest of it doesn’t work for the simple reason that it is Kate’s history with Sonny being passed off as Olivia’s.
Sorry but I watched the last two years of the show and am well aware that Connie was the first girl Sonny ever loved. That he was going to leave the mob and run away with her. Not her hypocritical backstabbing cousin who doesn’t have a clue what family loyalty means, even though she’s been spewing venom at Kate about it since day one. Interesting that it was Olivia that blew Kate’s secret out of the water two seconds after hitting town, while Kate continues to keep her cousin’s secret about Dante, against her better judgment I might add.
And let’s not forget the dressing down Kate got, on her wedding day no less, for daring to leave her family and Bensonhurst. Yet surprise surprise who has done the exact same thing despite wanting to keep her son away from his father. Of course it would then make sense to move to the very town said father lives in. Hypocritical bitch, thy name is Olivia.
I could care less about Olivia. Really. She is a non-entity to me. The thing that is unforgivable is the blatant way the writer’s have handed Kate’s story over to her. I feel for Megan Ward, who worked her ass off to make the story fly without any of the propping Olivia has enjoyed from the get go. Not to mention Kate’s fans and the Sonny and Kate fans who dared to invest their time and emotions. This is dirty business.
Well here’s news for you, I will not dumb myself down to accept whatever drivel those in charge deign to hand me. I have too much self respect to pretend I didn’t see what I saw and hear what I heard.
I hope the ratings continue to tank. There should be a price for breaking trust with your audience. Good on ya GH, keep on rocking with your “bad”, and I do mean rotten, self.
I didn’t realize there was SUCH a nerve out there about all this! wow..really, I didn’t. I had my rants over Lindze Letherman leaving and such…Scott Clifton. Not bringing over TR and FH over from NS.
Didn’t know there was such a revolt with the Megan Ward stuff. Knew Liason fans were pissed too.
Hmmmmm. Interesting.
Seriously, you had no idea there was such a nerve about this?

You are entitled to your opinion as are we.While I loathe the character of Olivia and it has nothing to do with Megan Ward or the character of Kate,it has to do with for me the actress herself,not the individual person per-say(because I don’t know her) but her acting choice and the persona of Olivia..Her acting grates on my final nerve that was ebduring the torture that is GH.So,fine if you find joy in that you like her or that you think she is popular.I don’t share the same sentiments as you and haven’t since the day she slithers into the bar to meet Sonny.There is just something about her cheap “ghetto’walk and her over- exposed boob, one-note facial expression and over the top acting that just makes me want to put my hand through the screen and give her a good slap across the face for inflicting such mysery on me(as if I have done something to deserve it,save for the fact I like looking at Mo) that she has made Sonny unwatchable for me,when Mo/Sonny is the only reason I watch GH.I have no desire to stare at the the character or the actress for that matter in anyway,shape or form.If you can’t handle the reaction you get when you blog then don’t have a comment box.If I though LLC was any quality actress then I would simple applaud GH for giving her a contract but as I stated before,when a show hands out a contract to Nathan Parson,then it shouldn’t be farfetched for then to give a contract to LLC because clearly GH is investing finally in mediocre talent because they don’t know how to write for the talent they have or had(Bruce/Stephen/Rick/Staurt and Jenie(sp),all actors that LLC,NL or NP are not obviously cut from the same cloth as.So,again,congratulations LLC for swimming amongst the same mediocre cesspool of GH acting talent as NP.
Most of what I’m thinking or feeling has already been said above, but I must post anyway. I’ll be honest up front here. I’m still bitter to say the least that Rick & Megan were put on recurring status when Nathan Parsons who can’t act or speak was given a contract and has been chewing up the scenery and hogging airtime ever since. So, LLC getting a contract is just one more WTH thing in a growing list of what’s wrong with GH and why the ratings continue to decline. Sonny with Claudia (the sleazefest) clearly didn’t work, so Fronsie & Luza came up with the most brilliant idea to take Kate’s history and story with Sonny (which was well-established over 18 months) and give it to Kate’s backstabbing hypocritical tramp of a cousin (I know that phrase was used above, but there’s no better way to put it…it is what it is). Sonny & Kate were extremely popular and their story is what hooked me on GH again (but I was enjoying other storylines as well). I am insulted that TIIC think they can make me forget what I watched and very much enjoyed. This rewrite was disrespectful to the viewers who invested in the original story and to Maurice and Megan who put their heart and soul into bringing it into our living rooms. And quite honestly, I’m still trying to figure out why GH would not embrace and be proud of such a wonderful, well-written (for the most part), and romantic story of first loves reunited 20ish years later. But they’ve chosen to destroy it.
For the most part I just read recaps now….waiting for improvements to be made such as fixing this mess, but it looks to me like they’re still going in the wrong direction…DOWN. Whatever.
After the way Megan was treated by GH, I’m surprised at anyone’s surprise that her fanbase would be just a wittle itty bit unhappy at the subpar replacement that GH brought in. And whether it happened overnight or over a period of 8 months, that’s exactly what LLC is and Megan’s story on GH reflected that from Day One.
To those not paying attention it might not seem that way, but for us who were 100% invested in Megan’s role as Kate saw it each and every step of the way. Starting with Kate’s shooting at the altar, then the “revelation” that Olivia had a son Sonny, changes in the timeline as well as changes to the backstory, the decreasing amount of screentime given to Megan until it was to the point where she was only on if her character was written to do something spiteful or vindictive, to when her contract wasn’t renewed, Kate was completely absent when Michael woke up (but Olivia, of course, was there in full defense mode of Sonny), Megan was taken off the credits, and NOW LLC has a contract.
Next, LLC will be in the credits and Olivia will be in a full-fledged romance with Sonny. Then, the truth about Dante will come out. And who knows where it will go from there- if the show carries on this pattern of not listening to the audience, I suppose LLC has some job security. Otherwise, all this contract means is that she’s bound to GH for the Dante story. LLC fans should be careful before investing in any story she does or thinking that this contract is a sign of anything. GH needs her for this period of time. And when a new, worse, cheaper looking and sounding actress comes along, buh bye Lisa.
But yeah, Megan’s fans aren’t happy. I don’t see why we would be. Especially given that LLC does not measure up to what Megan brought to GH, and she never will. But maybe that was the plan – LLC doesn’t threaten the GH “leading ladies” like Megan did. So maybe she will last. It’s just a shame when talent, popularity and a strong fanbase can work against someone.
I also just want to add that the disdain on our part isn’t unwarranted- Megan Ward got screwed by GH, and so did her fans. The thing with LLC is obviously a touchy issue given that she basically is Megan’s replacement, and that’s a shame. She didn’t have to come in that way, her character could have been an “original”, and then perhaps there wouldn’t be this amount of unhappiness about her “good news”. It’s just you need to understand this contract doesn’t mean anything except the show wants her to be there so they can do the Dante story. No coincidence that THIS is when they finally offer her a contract. From experience, just don’t get comfortable. Lisa’s the next sitting duck and she’s being built up and getting excited about all the promise of what GH has to offer her and she’s getting material she likes– just like Megan was. And GH yanked the rug out from under her. I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. Anyway, FWIW, we’re an unhappy fanbase but the underlying issues apply to all of us whether we’re fans of Megan’s OR Lisa’s. If the name is Sarah Brown, watch out.
*UGH!!! I meant if the name ISNT Sarah Brown, watch out. She’s the only one immune from this treatment…
It’s not a matter of fan bases versus other fan bases. We know that it doesn’t have to be Megan OR Lisa. Some people just don’t like Lisa and it’s not because they’re fans of Megan. The two things are not related. And I’m sure a lot of people were being as nice as they could possibly be. It’s just wrong for the character of Kate to have been pushed aside and for Olivia to have been put in her place. All the scenes that Olivia is in now are basically the ones Kate should be in. It’s just a slap in the face to Kate fans.
LOL ‘If you can’t handle the comment, don’t have a comment box”
Bajeebus.
Life is too FREEKIN’ short for this shit. I can handle ANY comment you bring…but I can respond too. I was just wanting people to calm down and stop slamming the actors that’s all.
Yes,I said it and I stand by it.Life it not too short,incase you are not aware people are actually living to be beyond 90.I don’t write “shit”I even though I can I don’t wish to.As I said before you are free to have your opinion as are we and you are free to respond as are we,this is not Iran.This is not the first actor to be dislike by fans and I am certain she won’t be the last.People like LLC and some dislike the character,strange as it may seems there are even people who like Olivia and dislike LLC.Personally,I loathe Olivia and LLC,acting choices disgust’s me.LLC/Olivia,Guza and Frons can chew on LLC mediocre acting and contract.For the poster above,You are also entitle to your opinion but I happen to respectfully disagree about Megan keeping Mo.,on his toes because Maurice has proven by himself over sixteen years that he is a stellar actor and worthy of any nonsensical material given to him and he doesn’t need anyone to keep him on his toes.Megan/Katew did bring something different to the character of Sonny because she was a far cry from all things Carly and her clones and allowed us to see the Sonny we fell inlove with from the Labine era.Kate gave some something different and a pairing outside of the mob,that challenges his mob code and gave him a much needed conscience that Guza stole from the character but I don’t believe for one minute Megan made Maurices performance better.I just believe he was happy with working with Megan and having a lighter storyline than the dark and disgusting mob elements and he revel in his new role as a romantic leading man but Mo., as an actor as proven his worth time and time again with Guza’s lame-brain and insane storylines and writing.This is my opinion and I stand by it 110%.
Ok! Ok! Lol…I get it.
Let’s just leave it at that…I do appreciate when people take the time to read my stuff and respond, that’s for sure.
I do hope you’ve read my blogs about how I thought Megan got a terrible deal. I think both MW and LLC are great actresses, btw.
Have a happy 4th.
Sonny has been with alot of women but I may be wrong.I don’t remember him raping any of them.So,why are people blaming him for having many women.Why not fault to the women in their apparent inability to keep their legs close.Sonny is a sexual man(do I like how he is written no),he likes sex,if the women are willing then obviously he wouldn’t be able to sleep with them.I can’t fault him if the women are easy and the man wants SEX.I do fault him and Guza and Frons for Claudia,though.”That’s a dog in heat “he never should have climb on.Sonny slept with all these women but I didn’t seem him dragging any of them into his bed,so why is everyone hating on the man.His it is fault women wants his body.Hell No!!!Althought this is way off topic.I still loathe LLC acting.They should pair Olivia with Ethan,now that I would tune in for.I would have a unhappy day,coming home to watch those two jokers act.It would be better than any comedy.Seeing this little fishes trying to act with the big fishes.Throw NL and you have a hell of a three-O.They can be on my new show,”Think You Can Act.” Or “Acting Biggest Losers.”I am still piss off that instead of taking her and her weird looking son Dante back to Bensonhurst,so I can return to watching GH they infect the show with her by giving her a contract and more airtime,as if she didn’t torture me long enough.I am pissed for myself and for Sonny.
Actually,no,I didn’t, this is my first time on your site.Happy 4th of July to you too.
KDmask – It is very nice that you want to acknowledge the news that LLC has been handed a contract. Jolly good news for her.
The response you are seeing is as a result of some very passionate people who have grown to appreciate one very fine actress, Megan Ward, and the even more impressive human being she is. The way GH treated her has left her fans feeling betrayed and outraged to say the least. It is as simple as that. And the fact that LLC is benefiting from that, well that’s life I guess, but quite frankly it still stinks like poo.
I see my post is still awaiting moderation, I guess because it has links. The SOS/Save Our Soap campaign has had multiple press releases and the third one was published on several different soap sites. The Facebook page has all the press releases posted and many of the postcards that went out to TPTB. SKate fans have not quit fighting for Megan or SKate. GH needs to make changes to be a viable program for ABC/Disney and SKate fans feel that fixing the integrity of the Sonny character, putting Megan Ward back on contract and back into HER storyline, and reuniting Sonny and Kate are PART of what needs to happen.
GH needs to address many issues. The campaign covers those as well. Historical integrity is a big issue for GH right now and, sadly for LLC, her character for many is a symbol of the lack of respect GH has shown for the history of the characters and for integrity in the writing.
I JUST ok’d your post, Skate, didn’t see it awating moderation until now. Sorry..yes, if there are links I have to OK it (keeps the porn down)
I thought SOS was for the writing, I don’t often read other stuff because I have no time.
Guza’s been around what? 6 years?? Skate was the first attempt to really get Sonny OUT with a plausable reason– I thought FOR SURE the Michael thing would do it.
How wrong was I??
I do think Megan needs her contract back and a decent story.
I’m also VERY glad the ratings are starting to reflect what we’ve been saying all along it’s about time.
Dear Wub Tub-
As a Skate fan I am underwhelmed by the out poring of support of Olivia and Claudia in this blog. Now that the ratings are out and GH hit a new low–1.7 compared to the Skate ratings of 2.4 to 2.7, I hope you understand why fans are so passionate. Clearly, Olivia and Claudia fighting like shanks over Sonny in the last month has turned off viewers and as a result GH ‘s ratings in are cancellation territory. Why shouldn’t viewers be enraged. It is amazing to me that you were surprised unless you favor cancellation of GH.
Fans are angry, because they had with Skate a love story they clearly enjoyed and I do not think that fans were opposed to the MOC( I was looking forward to Kate vs. Claudia ) that is just typical soap angst but to make the story disappear and fans had to indure feeble Frons/Guza attempts to redeem the irredeemable Claudia character was a ratings killer. GH made Sonny into a sexually confused moron which I do not enjoy and that impacted ratings in my opinion.
With Olivia now being paired with Sonny, stealing/obliterating Skate history is not only stupid but an insult to viewers’intelligence.
