As The Worm Turns- For Reals This Time: A Warning to the Major Players on GH

Okay, so it seems the most interesting thing happening on daytime soaps is behind the scenes. The "creatives", as they're called, are more into making their lives into drama than they are into making their shows drama. Hey, Nimnuts, if you wrote your boringass show as interesting as what's happening behind the show, maybe you'd have some more viewers. Sheesh.

So, my former friend Frank Valentini, seems to be throwing a hissy fit and stamping his feet because Prospect Park took their toys and are going home. He's all angry and stabby and wanting to throw things because he can't keep "his" characters.  He's smearing and spitting and threatening and trying to use everything in his nasty man playbook to make sure "his" Trio of Terrror remain on GH.

Give it up, Frank, you lost and you look like a bitter bitch. And a traitor at the same time.

So, here's where we stand. Todd, Starr, and John are going home to Llanview which, thankfully exists with old writers and familiar faces.  I have to just say this-  VIKI!!!!!!!!!!!- okay, feel better. But former fangurl and producer, Frankie Boy, is angry he can't go, too, and wants to keep his people with him. Now, Dude, that's desperate and bitter. You're acting as if you're the rebound girl who can't handle it when the real thing comes along and you got dumped. Or you're acting like the old girlfriend Middle Aged Mel found on Facebook and leaves his family for, only to be left when Melly misses Mommy and little Maureen and Max.

Let it go, Buddy, you're pissing off everyone.

At any rate, that's the deal now but Buddy Boy, as any jilted woman would do who's bitter and angry, doesn't say "Go, be happy. I always loved you". No, of course not. He says, "Oh yeah, well, I'm calling your wife and telling her I'm knocked up. You have to stay with me!"  Nice, nice move, Frank.  He's trying to hold on to the actors so they can't go back. He'll create new characters for them on GH. This is basically a Neener, Neener, Neener as at least two are on long term contracts- ME and KA- and Howarth is as flighty as a girl with too many dates for the dance.  He'll go wherever he chooses for whatever reason.

It is being reported that Mr. Howarth signed for only one year and that makes sense. GH was- and is to some of us- on life support, so why sign more and he signed for a year allegedly with OLTL, so why would he sign long term?  That really rings true to me. I believe that in the morass of "insider" info lately.  Also, PP, which is handling itself quite well in all this compared to ABC's smears and bitchslapping in the "soap press", put out a release discussing only ME and KA in terms of negotiations. 

Now, even a first year PR student can put the correct content in a press release. Well, at least mine can. So, they left out Howarth for a reason.  THEY MEANT TO!! Not only won't they be open to "share" Todd Manning, they don't have to deal with ABC on Howarth as he's probably a free agent. So, all in all, it's about what will Roger do? Will he stay, will he go? What?

Is anyone else tired of Howarth's contract antics that have plagued everyone for years? I am. I am so over them. In fact, after this stunt on GH, I'm pretty much over Howarth in general. I was never into him other than as Todd and as I've been yelling from rooftops for almost a year, I don't dig Todd out of Llanview. He needs his "peeps", especially those who hate him! 

Oh, and I need to say this- NORA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!- yeah!!!

But I digress. Howarth, Dude, if you want to stay on ABC and be a crap GH character, bless ya, Baby. Go for it. I no longer care. PP, recast. Really. I'm done with all this crap. I think it's a massive mistake but you're the one who played the insipid and sleep inducing Paul Pablum Ryan for who knows how long. And, really who cares how long? It was not good and not fun and I'm not interested in watching Howarth's not so pretty face. He's, well, not my type. I loved him as Todd on OLTL but at this point, he's an annoyance to me.

If he's so stupid,  let him stay. Ya see, Frank, this is a massive mistake. You're pissing off everyone if you try to get Howarth to stay and make him Joe Blow who's crawled up Carly's ass. The GH fans aren't interested in general and you'll make him the star of the show. The OLTL fans are already hating you. They'll go, for sure, so what do you win? The ones who just want to see Roger nekkid? Yeah, that's good. Okay, you take them and be happy.

But remember this. We are a fanbase of women and gay men in general. We don't forget or forgive easily.  Are you listening, Roger?  We see that you aren't a team player and we get that. That's your prerogative. Yet the only reason you have the cushy situation and that nice salary is because we welcomed you back as Todd. You took off before. We all lived and didn't hate you. However, this time it's different.  This time, you'll be a traitor. And that can't be good. As women and gay men, this is you essentially leaving us for another woman when we're pregnant.  And that's ugly.

This is your show with your people and your fans and they're trying to make it work again. You, not coming back, is really nasty. You can help make it happen and be a success. I have no doubt it can work without you.  Oh, and I need to say this-  BO!!!!!!!!!- yeah!  But, I digress. And David!!!!!!

Sorry, it's getting worse, almost like Turret's.  Anyway, if you don't help, I know they'll recast as Todd is too necessary. And, ya know what, I'll happily support that. Because, if you don't come, you're an asshole. That's all I have to say.

Frank, you're being an asshole, too. You are angry you can't go and you're being a pisser about it. Let us have our damn show back with the damn actors. If Alderson wants to stay, fine. I would like to have Easton back as he seems like a doll in real life and he's kinda cute and I loves me some John and Bo, but I'll live with it if he's Caleb. I think he and Monaco are kind of hot. But Howarth??  That's a low blow to something you claim to love.

And I know you do. And, think about this, Frank. It's the same for you as it is with Howarth. What if OLTL works and GH will undoubtedly be pulled soon enough. What  then? What if you wanted back in? Who would let you? The fans already are starting to really hate you. But, we know, we're irrelevant. But PP might hate you, too, and Disney. You're being a petulant child. And we know bad boys and girls never get to go to Disneyland again.........

So, think about it. You have a lot to work with on GH. Be happy with it. But stop being an asshole. Oh, and Roger, Buddy, don't be a moron. Todd's the bread and butter for you. If you screw him one more time, he may not be around to feed your kid in the future.

Remember, Guys, "you take my ending, I take yours"! And this time, it may be an ending in real life, too.   Imagine this in about five years, "Roger Who? Oh, that guy who used to play Todd? Oh, I hear he's doing dinner theater in Padukah...and he's fat".

But Ronnie's right. Maybe this show isn't for you. And then you aren't for us either. It was nice knowing you but we can move on, too.
