Yeah, OLTL actors/characters have been on GH more than AMC characters cause they kept getting people that didn't give a damn about AMC and just cared about OLTL. I just know that cluster started with RC and he brought on all those OLTL characters before they were forced to leave for the doomed PP reboot. I think RH and ME are both on there but they play new characters, but it's obvious they are on there cause they were the pets of OLTL. Didn't they also have ME play Caleb and shoved mentions of Caleb and whoever KM played on Port Charles down everyone's throats? Like I said, what a mess. It's General Hospital, not extreme fanfiction for cancelled soaps. I can't imagine how bad GH is now, especially with all the OLTL shenanigans lol.

I think there have been more OLTL actors because of Frank Valentini, he was the producer for years at One Life and then went to GH when it was canceled like Ron Carlivati, but unlike Ron, he's still there. It's why I think Roger and Michael still have jobs, despite the fact that their both on their third character. Frank loves them. Kristen would probably still be there but it was her choice to leave. I know Kristen even said that Frank was the one who asked her if she wanted to come to GH with him.

For me it just wasn't the same. I love Todd and Starr, but when they were on GH they were in a new town and interacting with different characters. What made us love Todd and Starr was because of their interactions with other OLTL characters, they were great individual characters but also part of an ensemble that we loved. They should have never brought Todd and company over, because they belonged in Llanview.

I forgot about FV, so that explains it. I knew it was something but didn't know what, cause I always heard RC left a while ago. That fact that he is still there and still trying to make GH a halfassed OLTL is sad as hell. He needs to get a life and move on, cause OLTL was cancelled 12 years ago. Let it go.

You mean the character "Todd"?

Ron was fired from GH in 2015 I believe. He's been at Days since 2017.

Yeah I don't think Todd, Starr, or John belonged in Port Charles. I believe the only reason the actors are still there now though is because the producer likes them. Roger played Franco first after Todd and then they killed him off and brought him on as a doctor named Austin. I don't even know the names of Michael's other two characters.

Well, his character ''Austin'' on ''General Hospital'' is likable I think & do not mind him on there, though he did help Ava with getting rid of Nicolas body. Unfortunately there are not many soaps that he could be on currently.

MaybeSomeday

I've seen lots of complaints asking why he's still there, but of course that's not everyone. I mean that's the life of a soap actor, there's not as many as there once was so when your off one you find something else to do, be it acting in other things or whatever else, just like all the other ex OLTL actors have done.

I didn't know he was fired LMAO! He's always been a horrible writer, so it's what he deserved but I guess he's destroying DOOL now. I forgot RH played Franco after Todd was written off. Of course they had him play another disgusting rapist, I blocked most of this crap out. Blech!

I was not watching this show then, whenever about that was.
