General Hospital spoiler. The show is going to kill off Alan Quartermaine. TV Guide reports Stuart Damon is being let go (well, they said "fired" but then didn't tell any story that sounds as scandalous as "fired" does).

I haven't watched in years, but that just seems wrong, somehow. Let him fade away or move away, or something. Sheeesh.

Guza is really pissing off all of the long time fans with the way he's treating the old guard. the GH comm i'm in is going just a bit nuts and starting a campaign about this.

i'm tired of the Sonny and Jason show and if they were smart, they'd have Jason regain his Quartermaine memories and shake things up.

He still hasn't regained his Q memories? That's just dumb. I sort of love Steve Burton, but ugh.

I just think it's dumb when Soaps kill people off, because they so often end up bringing them back, and it's not like you get an urn of osirus on e-bay (any more) and barf up a snake, in Port Charles.

Heh. Just because you're talking about GH here, I feel compelled to mention that Colleen the evil nanny is a good friend of my bro's and went to my high school. She was at my bro's wedding and my dad made sure to get his picture taken with her so that, in his words, he could "Show off the picture when she got really famous."

Dad and evil nanny.

Me and evil nanny (with extra random girl).

Really? They're killing Alan? Can't they just send him overseas or something? Sheesh. I am guessing, by the way, that this will tie back into the "Who Really Killed Rick Webber" storyline. Because in addition to being Laura Spencer's stepdad, Rick was a major romantic rival of Alan's back in the day. They were both after Monica.

That's where I came in, Narrator, before Luke and Laura (although after Laura killed David Grey), when Rick was cheating on a frigid Lesley with Monica, and Alan was more of a homicidal jealous type (who was also sleeping around) rather than a good humored doc. I think the last time I watched, Alan and Monica were getting divorced (and it seemed for real -- they maybe even had gotten divorced).

Teppy, that's so cool! If I still watched GH, I'd be having a fangurl moment. For which family does her character work?

Edited, because I just remembered how Laura would put the star on the Christmas tree with Scottie, and make her wish. I think her birthday was around Christmas, wasn't it? It was always the schmoopiest Christmas thing, this side of Amends (which I should watch, tonight).

I feel compelled to mention that Colleen the evil nanny is a good friend of my bro's and went to my high school.

she plays crazy very well. she was in an episode of something else that i just watched recently and i can't remember what it was now...

For which family does her character work?

she's Nikolas Cassadine's baby's nanny. well...was. he let her go with insistence from Emily cause Emily knows crazy when she sees it. now Colleen has really gone off the deep end and is planning on stealing Spencer.

Is Emily the baby's mother? (Nic named his baby "Spencer"??? How times have changed!!!)

Whatever happened with Elizabeth and Lucky?

I love how the closet soapers emerge from the woodwork. (I watched GH throughout my childhood, but not since becoming a 9-5 wage-slave.)

Is Emily the baby's mother?

no, Courtney (Sonny' sister) is the baby's mother. she died soon after childbirth. conveniently.

Whatever happened with Elizabeth and Lucky?

well...Lucky got addicted to pain pills and had an affair with Maxie and Elizabeth went to Jason after she found them in her bed. she slept with Jason that night. Lucky went to rehab (shortest rehab i've ever seen) and is now back on the police force and trying to win Elizabeth back.

Elizabeth is pregnant and the audience is the only one who knows the baby is really Jason's.

ahhh...soaps. nothing ever changes.
