I have to say, I'm not thrilled about Ryan running around town unchecked, but ... I'm thrilled that in the past few days we have seen Mac, Felicia, Lucy, Kevin/Ryan, Laura and even Monica today! Wow, I can't remember a recent time when so many Vets have graced our screens and have story lines. As a 40+ year viewer of this show, it feels really good and old school GH to see them on screen again lately.

As another long term viewer, I agree. Now let's hope they don't kill off any of the characters you mentioned.. Except Ryan can get sent far, far away. .. (we'll still have Kevin) -
I'm good if they kill Ryan (again) ... he's the only Vet I can get on board with killing, because, as you said, we will still have Jon as Kevin on the show.Originally posted by McShirls View PostComment

I'm doing a happy dance that The Vets are front & center...it's about time...they have been sorely missed...I'm so excited my Laura is back...and Felicia & Mac being focused on too...plus JL is doing great playing the duel roles of Kevin/Ryan again...it feels like the old days

Maybe she'll get suspicious and he'll kidnap her. Then, she can be a victim and still survive.Originally posted by PinkDiamond View PostMy only fear is Lucy may be a casualty

Sadly I fear for more impact and they are the only ones that Ryan really knows that one of The Vets are going to be one of his victims...so as much as hate it to be Lucy...I think I could accept it...since I could't bare it being Felicia, Mac, Bobbie, Monica, Scotty...or even worse Laura...but hopefully Lucy somehow survives it too?

I am thanking God that they are finally starting this S/L and that Genie Francis is back one month early! She's been gone such a long time. I wonder how she'll fit in now, besides being on the hospital board. I still wish Laura could be mayor.
Jon has been doing a fabulous job playing the conniving and deceitful Ryan. Like with Felicia today. He is one scary dude.
And yes, I love the vets. The only thing that would make me happier is a return of Holly and Robert as a couple. I still miss them. And Ethan should've been their son, not Luke's.Comment

I agree...it was also great seeing Robert again...plus to add Holly & Ethan would be even better...let's hope that this storyline involving The Vets makes the ratings go up...so TPTB realize this is what us long time loyal viewers have been waiting for...and they start bringing back more favorites from the pastOriginally posted by LisalovesJaSam View Post

The show is so much more enjoyable with all our beloved characters back. It's just a shame that it's to be slaughtered by this serial killer. I hope that is to just add tension and the characters who he gets will not be our vets.Comment

Although I am not young. I am not a long-term viewer of GH. I do not believe in the phrase 'let's make GH great again' by highlighting the entertainers of years ago. It is o'k to show them at times. But I do not believe that GH will continue to survive if the program becomes geared toward just the entertainers that long-time and gradually leaving viewers only want to see. But, I realize that I'm fighting a losing battle here that frankly is not worth the fight.Comment

I would LOVE for Robert to be back full time on my GH screen. Whenever he returns, it's always a great time!Originally posted by momq325 View PostComment

I agree. Like bipalova says, a sprinkling is a good thing. The vets should be peppered through out in major storylines, too and often.Originally posted by 17June View Post
Yet to have them run story, consistently won't appeal to the demos advertisers are attempting to attract They just don't care and GH gotta pay the bills.
I still think to showcase vintage GH, like The Collection series is an answer to bringing younger and newer viewers up to speed, so that we do care.

I couldn't disagree more. Soap operas are a unique medium because they last for decades. Viewers WANT to see their vets, especially running story. I don't care at all about newbies who have zero ties to a storyline or a character, and GH was making a huge mistake by introducing so many and giving them front-burner storylines. Soaps are ALL about vets. Y&R is getting serious blowback for getting rid of their vets, and GH is finally doing the opposite. There are enough young and interesting characters to lure in new, younger viewers, but that doesn't mean that the writers should forget about those of us who have been watching for decades. Like I said, soaps are unique; they are not like primetime television where shows might last five years if they are lucky. -
I understand the sentiment Maxum and advertising doesn't. They pay the bills. They're about the demographic most likely to buy. It's all about the money. 4 SOAPS remaining proves that.
And I still think, a regular viewing like, The Collection, will give opportunity to many of us to care about the characters, so many love and want front & center.
Personally, for example, I didn't know "Laura" I don't have the same kind of attachment to this character, as you may have. A selection of episodes would be ideal. -
@jaxjoy. TPTB can't seem to figure out that older people have more money than younger people, and from what I see as commericals on tv, most of it is geared to regular people and not necessarily the younger demographic. I mean it's car commercials, cosmetics, aging creams, phone plans, food, etc. How does that exclude an older audience? The ratings have been down for GH with all their years of newbies and boring storylines involving them. Vets are very important to a soap opera, and I think plenty of young people love their soap vets too. As for Laura, it's okay that you weren't connected to her way back when, but whether you like her as a character. I agree that TPTB should use their "repeat" times more wisely by showing vintage GH with the vets we have on the show now.

Maybe that's one of the reasons, Ryan is back. He's "The Cleaner"Originally posted by believeinme246 View PostComment
