I’m unsure why Tristan is going. Maybe more budget cuts. I don’t know. But Robert and Holly getting a happy ending? I’m all for that. And I hope we get visits from them in the future.

Toward the beginning of this interview, John and Maurice talk about Frank Valentini. The way they talk about him is the vibe I’ve always gotten. Whatever went on that led to Kelly Monaco leaving the show, I do not know. But I truly believe, as they say, if it wasn’t for Frank’s producing, General Hospital would’nt still be on the air. I thank him.

Holly has long been a favorite of mine, too. This is a jarring retcon, and Samms has being doing her damndest to play that Holly made the best of a bad choice. Maybe a return down the road can have some way for Holly and Sasha to bond.

I have to say I am very concerned with the way the character of Holly Sutton is being written these days. Back in the 80's, Holly was one of my favorite characters. She and Robert were one of my favorite couples.

I am not against the idea of she and Robert having a child, in fact, I like the idea, however I don't like them splitting up one of my other favorite couples, Sasha and Cody. I can't see a way forward for them.

What I am troubled by is how the show is making her the town pariah. Holly has always been a con artist, that's for sure, but I can't imagine her being an unloving mother. After all, she helped raise Robin for years and Robin adores her, and now suddenly she's Mommie Dearest??

The writers are really changing up the show, getting rid of main characters while throwing in big time twists to the remaining characters lives.

I get that the new writers want to shake things up, but it is getting hard to keep up with all the changes in story lines and cast changes.

I hope the writers don't go to far in turning Holly into a villain. Emma Samms is still a favorite of mine and I hope she stays that way.

She is correct. Love it or hate it, it has you talking. GH, all soaps, need that to survive.

I like the description Emma Samms gives about Holly’s justification of her con artist ways. Holly isn’t evil, just a different line in the sand than most.

Still unsure of the paternity reveal. Maybe they want to set up a Dante-Lulu-Cody triangle? Mix Sasha back in with boring Michael and Willow?

My preference would be to have Holly be mistaken and Robert isn’t the father, but Bill Eckert, Luke’s lookalike cousin, turn out to be the real dad. Sasha would be related to the Spencers and still free to date Cody.

Whatever it is, upset or not, it is soap writing. Gotta make it shocking. Boredom = Death for a soap.
