There is a report today that has surfaced from ABC Soaps In Depth that indicated they have heard rumblings that both Ted King (Currently Tomas, OLTL and Ex- Alcazar on GH) and Michael Easton ( Currently John, OLTL and Ex- Caleb, PC) could be headed to General Hospital in which the duo would reunite with the new GH creative team ( and former OLTL team) of Frank Valentini and Ron Carlivati!

According to SID, “King, will possibly be returning to Port Charles in the new year, and he may be bringing Michael Easton (John) with him! A spokesperson for the soap reminds that GH does not comment on rumors, but word is that both actors have a tentative start date set for late January.

It’s unclear whether King will return as an Alcazar brother, or his OLTL role. And one source reports that Easton would most likely be appearing as his Llanview Police detective alter ego.”

The item goes on to hint that Kristen Alderson (Starr, OLTL) could possibly be being considered for the role of Kristina, (Sonny and Alexis’s daughter) last played by Lexi Ainsworth.

So what do you think of a King/Easton arrival in Port Charles? Let us know!

I hope Frank and Ron are given enough time to turn the soap around. With Katie’s show set to debut in September, it isn’t much time. Michael Easton’s John McBain would make sense in PC, but what about Natalie? Not sure about Ted King..though he is a good actor. Time will tell.

I love OLTL, but Ron/Frank need to be careful. Too many Llanview characters and they will piss off long time GH fans. ATWT brought over Jake McKinnon from AW and it was successful. It can be done. I hear rumors that the actress who plays Starr is being considered for the role of Kristina on GH. Time will tell. OLTL should have never been axed.

But agree with what said about KA.

As someone pointed out here, I don’t think GH fans wants their show to become Llanview. And I would go as far as saying that some OLTL fans probably also don’t want GH to become the new OLTL.

I have to disagree Many of the actors have moved on and some probably already have found a job. A return of AMC and OLTL at this point would mean shows with a bunch of recast or new characters. That would be AMC and OLTL in name only.

I wouldn’t mind TK or ME coming over to GH – especially if they paired ME back up with KeMo (a la Port Charles). I can’t see KA as Kristina AT ALL. I think that would be a very poor choice. I think GH needs to step up its game, regardless of these casting decisions. Pay more attention to history, families, love/romance, even comedy (Diane Miller? HELLO???) and stop with the violence, bad pairings and rushed storylines.

If anyone here is a Y&R fan you noticed how them bringing actors from other soaps that were cancelled works. Think Genie Francis, Maura West, Debbie Morgan. Fix the characters you have FIRST! Please everyone seems to think they are the 2nd coming I beleive these are the guys that gave OLTL the Ford brothers, Cutter, Rick Aubrey, and not writing for the longtime vets. I can bet you GH actors will not be happy with this. And for the record Lexi Ainsworth was a good actress and a lovely person and if she got fired becasue she wasn’t old enough or sexy enough. Kirsten Alderson is not the recast for this she grew up on OLTL if this is how it is going down add another nail in the coffin.

Ted King is a GH alum so if he wants to return as, what a third Alcazar brother…maybe but not need to bring ME over…
And if they got rid of Lexi cause she wasn’t sexy enough Kristen would not be a good a choice besides…there are way too many blondes on GH

None of these three recasts sound like a good idea and certainly not so soon in late January. They need to concentrate on core characters. Easton I guess would be OK if they can’t get Lucky back but why would they need him if they have Anna, Robert and Mac? Ted King I do not want to see as either a mobster or an agent. Again, we have some core characters that fill both of those roles very nicely. And I would love to see Duke back as the grey, sophisticated mobster. The Lexi situation is very sensitive. Cartini had better tread carefully with fans who’ve been denied SO MUCH of what they want over the past years.

jennifer i agree, you know what needs to be done? all these people who take over shows need to stop thinking they can make a show better by adding new characters and not paying attention to what they have already in place. GH problem is not the on air talent but the behind the scene talent who time an time again make the same mistake and start firing actors we love and replacing them with “their talent”.

kcl replied December 23rd, 2011 at 9:54 pm
I have to add my voice to yours, too. With Sonny’s gang and the Zaccharas, Port Charles already has more mobsters than it needs. What is GH gonna do, bring back Ted King as Lorenzo Alcazar and have a hate triangle as opposed to a love triangle?! The show needs to tone down the crime and violence and pump up the romance and core families. They could do both with the original Duke Lavery, GH’s archetypical gangster with a heart of gold. Lorenzo could never be more than a pale imitation of a guy who took down two mob families and captured none other than Anna Devane’s heart.

As much as I love and am going to miss OLTL, I don’t think that it would be wise for FV and RC to risk alienating GH fans with these sort of casting moves. For instance, Ted King is a good actor, but bringing back Lorenzo Alcazar (or ANY Alcazar) would only serve to perpetuate the mob nonsense instead of lessening it. As for the character of Tomas, would he really leave Blair, Tea’ , Dani and his new niece or nephew to relocate to PC? I can’t see it. Same goes for John re: Natalie and Liam. These people belong in Llanview. That’s how I want to remember them. And KA, as likeable as she is as Starr (JMO), is totally wrong for the role of Kristina. Frank and Ron need to concentrate on making GH a much better show by improving the quality of the stories and scripting for the cast members that are already there.

I would not mind if Ted King comes back to the show, but not John McBain, I can not see him working with Dante and Mac/ As far as Kirsten Aldreson as Kristina, that makes now sense as she is the same age as the last actress and she is blonde does not look like a Corrinthos( can not see her with dyed brown hair) I think the character just needs to stay at college. GH will be off the air in May so very sad..

I thought that katie (the ,I got fired from cbs because I couldnt do the nightly news ,and now abc hired me because I can do a talk show now.) couric, will be killing gh in september.and as far as john mcbain goes ,he will fit in very well.and kirsten alderson can pretty much do anything,I have watched her grow up on oltl and she is a beauitful star. gh needs help,there is to much crime and the stories are boring.and if I had a choice of which soap I would keep on abc ,It would be ONE LIFE TO LIVE,It was never boring.sure they had crime ,and bo and john could find the bad guys,but gh goes on and on about sonnys life its sonny this and sonny that ,and yes i grew tired of GENERAL HOSPITAL,If they have a chance to save it ,It has to be done now.

I’m very well aware that Katie Couric has a show that will take General Hospital’s timeslot.

I’m not saying that General Hospital is not going to cancelled nor do I say it’s going to get cancelled.

As recently two years ago, everybody said One Life to Live and Days of Our Lives would both go before All My Children. Well look what happened. All I’m saying is let’s stop thinking about the future and let’s live to the present. Because the future can hold many surprises.

I agree ,and I hope that we do get a big surprise, that one life to live stays on tv and all my children makes a comeback.there are alot of fans that will support the shows ,they will be watched.I am getting worried that general hospital will start getting the stars that belong on one life to live.As far as that pp (the online network ) say. that one life to live and all my children still have life,I hope they tell the soap fans something ,this waiting game ,is crazy,anyway all the soap fans that are on facebook go to the sight ,daytime fans unite ,hit the like button to get counted as a soap fan ,we are trying to get to ten thousand by this weekend.

The LAST thing GH needed was Carlivati/Valentini. So I hope they don’t destroy the show and making it boring like OLTL has been for years.

If King came back, I’d want it as al Alcazar brother, and as for Easton? I don’t want him nor need him. And if Kristen comes on as Kristina, I think I could tolerate that, as Lexi was a tad annoying and Kristen is less annoying, but I hated that character regardless.

GH doesn’t need new cast members. They need to condense their cast and bring back the two core families: Spencers and Quartermaines.

seriously ,you dont like one life to live? you think it is boring?the best thing for gh is the writers of oltl.Ive watched general hospital pretty much since day one and in the last 10 to 15 years its been boring. instead of giving sonny another kid,which he has to many ,they should have brought laura back.and get rid of franco.now thats boring.bringing robert and anna is a good idea to.I still would like oltl stay on tv and forget about anyone going to gh.

Valentini/Carlivati are a way of saying f-you GH fans and goodbye to the series.

ABC has been cheep with one life to live ,and valentini /carlivati where keeping the costs down ,the cast all took cuts in pay, and they still put on one hell of a good show.valentini /carlivati are not the reason amc and oltl were canceled ,abc wants out of the soap business,there changing everything on there daytime programing,if anyone said f-you it was abc to the cast and the fans of amc and oltl.abc wants to go CHEEP,and soaps do cost alot to produce ,I could be wrong but I think abc made a big mistake alienated alot of abc fans ,abc was always my choice to watch daytime and night,now all I will watch is gh after oltl is over.and by the way wasnt the gl/atwt on cbs?those two soaps being canceled have nothing to do with why abc canceled amc and oltl.and oltl was never any slower than any other soap,keeps you tuned in every day,and thats why they call them SOAPS. ,they go on and on and thats what keeps you wanting more.one life ti live is like my family for 43 years ,its not going to be easy letting go.

Yes, ABC is alienating their soap following, or should I say Frons was. Times are changing, and mothers aren’t staying home to watch soaps. Times are changing and this is a reflection of the times.

And I only referred to GL/ATWT because of everyone losing AMC/OLTL. I’m a CBS guy at heart, have been since I was three years old. OLTL is slow, and that DOESN’T make people tune in. Slow means it’s slow; they drag storylines out for too long and some of them are just outrageous. OLTL is slow, and I don’t think Valentini/Carlivati are all they’re cracked up to be. I give them a month before I stop watching GH.

barbara t replied December 28th, 2011 at 8:11 am
you really should give gh more than a month ,I still do not agree with you about oltl being slow,if you watch gh lisa going after robin was one of the longest stories that would not end ,I thought it was over when she was in a coma and johnnys crazy father (I like him ) woke her up ,insane.oltl seems more like family .gh is the sonny corintous show and I dont like that in a soap,gh killed the quartermaines ,they are hardly ever on whats left of them and why they killed aj and alan doesnt make sense. I watched gh since its beginning ,my friend and I would run home from school and sit with my grandmother and enjoy,and why abc couldnt keep the soap channel ,well we will never know, theres a love channel food channel western sci fi whats wrong with a soap channel ? they could put all of them on . including the ones that are gone.but seriously you have to give the writers longer than a month .takes longer then a month to create a good story.and frons was a abc puppet ,hes not the only one who killed the soaps.

Heather replied December 30th, 2011 at 3:58 pm
@barbara t

Soaps have always been cancelled in the 1960s, the 1970s and the 1980s. But when a soap was cancelled back then,it was usually a short lived soap opera being replaced by another soap.

NBC’s cancellation of Passions most likely did not influence ABC because 1) Passions was a short lived soap opera and 2) NBC has a reputation of being a soap killer with little stability in its daytime block. But CBS is a different story. Like ABC, CBS soaps were on the air for a very longtime. Like ABC, CBS had a stable daytime block. So when CBS eliminated GL and ATWT to replace them by junk shows, that pretty much set the standard for ABC to make it acceptable to cancel long running soap operas and replace them by yet other trash shows.

Now, the next step for broadcast networks is which one will be the first to exit the soap opera business and to set the “exemple” to the other two networks. CBS has two soap operas,so it’s unlikely that they will be the first network to exit the business. It will most likely be ABC or NBC. But once a network breaks the ice to exit the industry, the other two networks will follow suit.

I do believe that soap operas will return in 20 or 30 years from now ,albeit in a new format. But soap operas as we know them today, meaning the soap operas that were created by Irna Phillips and her descendants (Nixon, Bell, Corday,etc), are unfortunately going the way of the dinosaur.

Scott. replied January 1st, 2012 at 2:08 am
@Barbara sorry but I’m not giving them more than a month. I fail to see the power of the mighty team of Valentini/Carlivarti. I found everything they did on OLTL to be boring and slow.

@Heather if anything, ABC would be the first to exit. NBC is really giving DAYS the light of day, finally. CBS wouldn’t cancel Y&R nor B&B, Y&R is their second highest rated programme to-date, and B&B is one of their highest. NBC is truly investing into DAYS now, especially since their reboot. It’s ABC that wants out of the daytime industry.

Heather replied January 1st, 2012 at 11:07 am
@Scott

But the reboot has done nothing to improve the ratings of DAYS. Every weeks, DAYS is competing with GH for the dead last position in the ratings. If ratings remain the way they currently are, there’s no way NBC is going to renew it in 2013.

I don’t think NBC necessarily invest more in DAYS than ABC does with GH. ABC has recently renovated some of GH’s sets as well as hiring Valentini and Carvilarti. ABC and NBC run promos of GH and DAYS in similar proportions. But more is expected from DAYS than GH because NBC does not own the show like ABC does with GH.

Scott replied January 1st, 2012 at 10:15 pm
@Heather
But in retrospective of the dwindling stance of daytime, it’s ratings are good. The reboot really rejuiced the show and NBC’s dedication to it. I remember a time NBC wanted out on soaps and now they seem to be holding on as I heard they tried buying AMC from ABC.

As for Carlivarti/Valentini, that’s to sink GH. Not to save it. I fail to see how amazing these two are. IF they were amazing, how come OLTL is cancelled? Huh? Someone care to tell me that? If they were so masterful, the show wouldn’t be ending.

Heather replied January 2nd, 2012 at 8:15 pm
Days ratings are not by any means good. It is dead last among the five soap operas in terms of total viewers, even behind ABC’s two soaps . In December, Days recorded, not one, but TWO all-time low ratings among the 18-49 women category. This is what NBC wants to renew in 2013??????? You tell me.

AMC on AMC is a rumor that was started by hardcore AMC fans on Facebook. The same fans said that AMC would go on OWN, USA and Bravo, all of which turned out to be false. AMC is not going anywhere and certainly not on NBC because 1) ABC won’t sell it to NBC and 2) NBC doesn’t want it on its schedule.

To be honest with you, I don’t expect much from the Carlivarti/Valentini duo on GH. I was trying to make a point that NBC does not necessarily invest more on Days than ABC does with GH.

Heather replied January 2nd, 2012 at 11:38 pm

Here, here. I totally agree! As much as I LOVE Michael Easton, GH needs to focus on the Spensers and Quartamaines. Bring back Alan. Let it be all a bad dream, ala “Dallas”. That will be the GH I knew and loved back in the day.

Scott replied December 26th, 2011 at 11:03 pm
GH doesn’t need Easton. He’s the last thing they need. Wolf did the base work for bringing the Quartermaines back in, now they need someone like Lorraine Broderick to come in and bring it all together. Wolf said mob would be a back story, but it’s still too much on the forefront. Sonny is too much of a focus, though seeing him in Bensonhurst has given me a slightly new light to him.

Gh is has always been my favorite, and i have stuck with it through ups and downs. OL and AMC are the one’s that I did not always seen consistently because they got boring. But AMC was always my second pick. I do not want to see all the shows gone. But sadly they will be ….

Please POST that ALL orver this site and on Facebook- BC there are soaps fans not on facebook like myself. You can’t expect to write that 1 time for everyone to see when there is just so much to read and comment on, on this site, as well as the abc.com comment section. You should go to abc.com and post (the above) a few different places on that site for people like myself who aren’t on Facebook, or twitter. If you are part of a MOVEMENT you believe in, you have to make it VISUAL. Also, make it CLEAR in YOUR WRITING what the Fans should do. And DONT FORGET TO JOIN US, our MOVEMENT in sending bar’s of soap to the ABC Studio in nyc. Let the abc executives be BOMBARDED with bar’s of soap coming from folk all across the U.S., and Canada. Now again POST THIS (Please write to Vicky Dummer and NBC and let them know we love the soaps and want them on, and they need their own network! ) everywhere and everytime U get on this site and abc.com.

I will start rewatching GH if Michael Easton and Kristen Alderson come over. I was never impressed with Ted King. His character Tomas never developed. SEnding Roxy to Port Charles and having her open up Foxy Roxys would definitely save the show.

I would love roxy to open up a foxy roxy in port charlas,she knows how to run a business and keep us laughing,I do like ted king,on any soap he has been on, he can bring his sister tia and blair with todd 1 and 2. I dont think that landview is far away from port charlas so there wont be a problem moving .I love the whole cast of one life to live and there are alot of people leaving gh ,ethan should stay, he is underused,robin to, Ive watched her grow up on gh.cant let her die that will be to sad.

Natalie is very spicy and could hang in Port Charles. Dont’ see John leaving his new family behind if he goes to Port Charles. They should move them along with Rex, Gigi, and Roxy. Just for maybe a storyline.

Although, I am wondering if GH is next….seems like ABC is not really supportive of the soap opera genre anymore.

Well, I recognize that some people don’t like Natalie she is the love of John Mcbain’s life and after waiting a very long time for their storyline to wrap up and with John getting his son, it makes little sense to separate them. But I guess time will tell.

I have been a huge GH and OLTL fan for years, and while I would love to see OLTL continue online or somewhere, somehow, if that is not to be, I am THRILLED (for them and us) to see Michael Easton and Ted King go to GH. I would also love to see Alderson as well, I think she could make Kristina work, being Sonny’s daughter is not such a far stretch from being Todd’s daughter.

Happy, healthy New Year to all !!!!!

IF the former OLTL writers wanted to bring super-cop McBain and super-secret agent Tomas Delgado to General Hospital for a shoot-out with Sonny and Jason for the GH finale, I MIGHT be tempted to tune back in to General Hospital for the last couple of hours before the show lands in that big soap opera trash can in the sky. But that is the ONLY potential story line which MIGHT be able to lure me back to GH. Otherwise, just bringing some OLTL stars over to GH would NOT be any sort of inducement. After all, several years ago, when OLTL tried to imitate the “general hospital” mob infestation, OLTL fans rose up in disgust and OLTL quickly dumped the Llanview Mobsters story lines into the nearest dumpster. So the ONLY mobsters which would interest former OLTL viewers would be mobsters on the way to the slammer – OR on the way to the nearest graveyard!

Bringing Michael Easton and Ted King to GH would be a fantastic move. Pairing Michael Easton with Kelly Monaco would be a very smart idea. They have proven in the past that they are great together…so put them back together again and let them light up the screen again. I really hope this isn’t a rumor and both of these talented actors are headed to GH.

I love Michael Easton and have grown to like Ted King. I really really hope they go to General Hospital. At least I will still get to see them. Since soap operas are notorious for bringing people back they should bring Kaitlyn back for John. I wonder how that would work out? I firmly expect to see a lot of the actors/actresses from OLTL show up making General Hospital their new home. There will be a lot more money with just one soap on ABC.

Scott,There is no way a story can be created in a month ,not on a soap,your mind is made up that gh will be trashed ,and oltl was boring and slow so I cant change your mind about that ,but if you care about the soaps no matter which one you watch ,they have to be saved or they will be gone.One life to live was my choice of best soap ever ,and I have been tuning in for 50 years of soap watching ,even michael agrees one life to live ,best soap,and it is ,the best writing and the wonderful cast.and GH will not be gone because of the writing ,It will be gone because abc wants it gone,and Im afraid thats what is happing ,if abc cared about there soap fans they would let agnes nixons stories go to another network instead of hanging on to them ,In other words,there not going to have them ,but no one else is either .Thats ABC for you .When gh is gone ,I am to.

Starr is too blonde and white to play Kristina. Plus, she has been Starr for so long, it would be difficult to accept her as an established character on GH. If they want to add her to the cast, a new character would be soooo refreshing!!!! Laura and Luke’s long lost daughter that Laura had while suffering from amnesia while away from Luke, maybe with the Cassadines!

Sorry Barbara. I met that message for Terrrie, that I just sent to you. But you told Terrrie right, (which I didn’t see and that’s why I was responding, No need to now). Yes, we have already had that story and I state that as well, meaning Nickolas, being the child she didn’t know about.

1loveabcsoaps replied January 8th, 2012 at 10:10 am
I think you hit it on the nail when you said she has been Star for to long, it would be difficutl to accept her as an established character on GH. Agreed, because I have thought ‘same’. Star needs to take some time off, and then should she resign with another soap, it should be on another channel. Signing up with abc, and GH would be a disaster. For the record, that was a Good idea you had about Star being a long lost daughter, BUT Laura was in a facility while she was suffering n amnesia. And too, she already has a child she didn’t know about, It would be too far fetched. Star needs to go to another channel in due time. That is what would be refreshing.

I disagree with you that kristen alderson played star for so long she cant be on general hospital or play any other role ,she is a actress and a very good singer,Did you see her sing that song the way mr pron guy wants her to sing it ?pretty good .I would love to see her on general hospital ,not as lauras daughter.and k a . does not have to take time off she has already, since abc threw everyone out after taping at the abc studio,thats long enough ,my point is I know she can be anyone she puts her heart into doing she an actress,and if its gh so be it,gh needs help, people are leaving ,maybe there jumping ship before abc sinks it ,but something has to be done to gh its boring ,it needs all the help it can get ,the stories need to be changed ,my writers from one life to live can do that .still I would rather they stay at ONE LIFE TO LIVE.and continue the millions of stories that are left for that soap.I am so disappointed in abc.

Ted King back on General Hospital as someone besides the character he played on there previously and Michael Easton back in Port Charles as someone besides Caleb Morley?

The Chemistry between Michael Easton and Kelly Monaco was electric so I’d LOVE to see them together again. I don’t know how its going to work out BUT if gNat goes to GH, they have lost a 30+ year fan because I will stop watching at that moment.

I would love to see ME on something. The reason I started watching OLTL live was because of him but if he is going as John McBain I will only watch if Natalie and Liam are with him. It would not make sense for John to fnally find happiness and a family to up and leave them so there’s no way that I would bother watching if that happened. Now if Natalie and Liam were to go with him just tell me the first day and GH has another viewer.

I love the fact that Michael is coming to general hospital. was a fan of his since he was on days of our lives. oltl should give him and natalie a send off as they are relocating. then they could join gh together as their character from oltl. As a GH fan, i would love to see a love story that has finally been built up to work continue. With Robin leaving they could be the couple of the year on GH

If I hear “just want to keep you safe”, or the word “safe” again from the GH charcters, I dont know what I’L do. It’s sickening hereing that damn word everyday from someone, pracically the entire cast. I read someplace that GH is a male chovonist show. I dont agree with that, I do like a soap that gives men alot of playing power, but that worid “safe” all the time, kills me as much as the mob bothers some of you. I dont mind the mob just as long as its not over kill. GH has always been the soap to me that centered around 1 storyline, other’s would be going on, BUT it would be one central one everyone would have a connection to. I have never liked that about the show early on when I noticed that and that was very early on….. Yet, I am a fan and I will be with it and the abc soaps until they expire, and then no more abc for me, BC Desparate Housewives is ending, so I wll need nothing from abc but the evening news IF THAT.

I don’t know about anyone else, but I have watched General Hospital off and on since it started (I was a little girl and my grandmother never missed it). Over the years there have been many memorable characters that I still miss and many I am glad have left town. I have never missed Ted King and don’t consider either of his Alcazar brothers to be memorable or necessary to the canvas. And as for Easton, he is okay but GH already has characters that we never see and are not used properly. Do we really need more unless they are necessary to the storyline? I would rather see the Scorpio family reunited before Robin leaves yet again.
