Carlivati day at GH

[gwynnega]

Today is Ron Carlivati's first day as head writer of General Hospital. He has his work cut out for him--Garin Wolf left the show in a shambles, and ABC seems hell-bent on canceling the show this fall. But I am excited to see what he does with GH. I look forward to seeing how he writes for Anna and Robert and Holly, and how the soon-to-arrive OLTL characters mesh with the canvas.

One of the things Carlivati had to contend with was the fait accompli of Robin's death in a lab explosion (which aired yesterday) and Kimberly McCullough's decision to leave the show. But knowing Carlivati's writing (on OLTL, Victor and Gigi ended up being "dead" but not actually Dead) and knowing GH (Robin's parents "died" in an explosion almost exactly twenty years ago, and they both turned up alive), I strongly suspect Robin will turn out to be merely "dead" too.

The Carly and Blair toast in that clip really makes me want to give the show another go. I hope you're right about Robin, she's an old favorite of mine.

I love that Carly-Blair toast too. GH is worth watching again (for the first time in a long time)!

I've loved Robin since she was a little girl. I just have a feeling she will prove as impervious to explosions as her parents...
