Classic General Hospital — Page 56

That had to be one of the funniest will readings I've seen in a while. Luke did look snazzy in that suit!

I hate the new young jerkoff in town...Coop's friend/ex-army buddy. He keeps talking about his long lost father. Would be pretty funny if it were Luke or Scotty.

From this past week's TV Guide:

"Put away the hankies. The February 27 death of General Hospital's Alan Quartermaine isn't quite as tragic as it seems. The beloved doc, played by Emmy winner Stuart Damon, succumbed to heart failure, but he will be back on the soap again starting March 8-- as a wisecracking ghost. This is no quickie stint. Damon, a 30-year GH vet whose apparent firing had viewers and costars in an uproar, will be around for the foreseeable future. "We're going to keep Alan a very viable character," says head writer Bob Guza. Alan will return to haunt his sister, Tracy (Jane Elliot), because she screwed with his will. When that's resolved he'll decide to stay. Guza admits this is tricky stuff. "GH has never had great luck with the supernatural -- remember Casey, the space alien? - so we want to relly ground this story," he says. "There will be no ethereal, ghostly trappings. Alan will lounge around the Quartermaine mansion in a sweat suit. Only Tracy will be able to see and hear him. The comedic possibilities are very cool."



If everyone was in such an uproar, why didn't they do away with killing Alan off completely? They could've done rewrites in the time the news was announced to when he actually died.

Will be interesting to see how they keep this ghost thing "fresh". Do you remember Casey? Cute guy, but ugh.

You should send them an e-mail. Probably won't do anything, but they should know people aren't pleased.

Coop's d--khead friend is SO Scotty's son. Just remember who called it, gals.

Does this Logan know who his father is? I got the impression that he was in Port Charles to track him down, but that he knew his father. And he's already been face to face with Scott, right? But I think I missed a show in there somewhere...

In any case, if he's not Scott's son, my money's on Noah Drake.

Allie, I thought he didn't know who his dad was, but you could be right. I think they're absolutely setting it up to be Scott. And there are the other parallels...Scott chasing after Laura, Spawn of Scott chasing after Lulu.

Wonder who his mom is?

The last thing on Leslie's mind now is where her eyeliner is. She has to move out of that charming little house to make room for Lucky, Liz and Jason's kid. "Oh, grandma WANTED to move to an apartment on 4th Street."

Yeah, right.

Aw. I felt bad for him.

---

Well, there was that bit of drama between Scotty, Luke and the judge. That should be an interesting turn of events if Scott gets named Laura's guardian.

---

Right, Allie?

I'm very confused - why did we have all that uproar from the co-stars about Damon being fired, when in fact, he's staying on indefinitely as a...GHOST?

---

That kid is SO good. And adorable!!
