...but that probably won't be today.
Monday was the first day on the job for General Hospital's new head writer Ron Carlivati and executive producer Frank Valentini (who both made the jump from One Life To Live). Yesterday it was announced that Tristan Rogers will be reprising his role of Robert Scorpio on GH (joining Finola Hughes as Anna Devane). Robert and Anna are two of my all-time favorite GH characters (and there are rumblings that other favorites will return).
Then today it was announced that four OLTL characters--Todd, Blair, Starr, and John McBain--are crossing over to GH!
If this were happening under the previous craptastic writing regime (still currently airing), my reaction would've been: Ugh, don't get any icky GH on these fine OLTL characters! But I have confidence in Ron Carlivati's ability to turn GH around.
Of course, ABC will probably still cancel GH later this year, even if its ratings go up. But at least Carlivati and Valentini are doing everything they can to give it a fighting chance. And if it does go off the air, at least its final months will be enjoyable (which is more than I can say for the past many months!).
