Starr receives a mysterious phone call from Langston and suddenly decides she has to go to L.A., leaving Michael.
John receives an offer he cannot refuse from the F.B.I. and gives up his attempts to help out orphaned Raiff and ends the relationship he and Sam have been moving towards.
Todd gives up on Carly after receiving an urgent message from his daughter Dani and returns to Llanview.
What soap fans know is that One Life to Live is currently back in production and after much legal behind the scenes attempts to share the characters of Starr and Todd and John, General Hospital had to give up these characters.
So Sam and Michael are alone again and Carly adds another failed relationship to her long list. Will One Life to Live acknowledge what happened when OLTL was off the air?
Reports are that All My Children (which will be starting anew in April) will flash forward 5 years in the future. This way they can make up for the loss of characters like Erica Kane (as if) by focusing on the younger Pine Valley residents who will age to young adults. Five years in the future (in soap time) brings the preschoolers of Angie and Jessie, Zack, Bianca, Tad and others to teenage and young adult. Maybe they are doing this to attract younger viewers as watching daytime soaps online is something your grandma is not as likely to do.
Meanwhile One Life to Live is banking on the idea that fans of GH who came to know Starr, Todd and John will follow OLTL when it starts airing in late April.
General Hospital is currently focused on the return of so many "old" characters as they prepare to celebrate their 50th anniversary. Maybe they are hoping that fans will be distracted by the return of Luke and Laura and not notice the awful way they abruptly killed off the storylines of Michael and Starr, John and Sam and the antics of Todd.
What do you think? Will you be watching the resurrection of AMC and OLTL?
50th Anniversary
