Interview: Ron Carlivati Gives A Preview of Things To Come!

Ron Carlivati recently joined General Hospital as the show's new head writer. Ron's no stranger to serials – he was part of the One Life to Live writing team for fifteen years, the last four of which he spent as head writer. Ron won a Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Writing in a Drama Series during his tenure there, and brought One Life to Live much critical and fan acclaim. Now that he's at General Hospital - alongside his longtime OLTL colleague Frank Valentini (who is now the executive producer of GH) – he sat down with ABC.com to give us a preview of things to come!

ABC.com: First of all, congratulations! Everything really seems to be hitting the ground running these days.
Thank you, yes it's a very exciting time in Port Charles!

ABC: You have a history of being a fan of General Hospital, even before One Life to Live. Can you talk a little about that? And what are characters and storylines that made the biggest impact on you when you were a viewer?
Sure, absolutely. Even though I'm most closely associated and identified with One Life to Live – I was a writer on the show for 15 years and I was a big fan of it way before then – I actually started watching General Hospital before I ever watched One Life to Live. General Hospital was my first soap. If my memory serves me correctly, I've been watching it since 1978.

Spoilers/News: Month of February and March Pt. 2

News:
We now know that Kristen Alderson was offered, and accepted, a three year contract with GH - even though we all know that the standard is 13 weeks. It has also being said that Michael Easton was offered the same contract. No word yet on whether it was accepted. He is currently rumoured to be staying a minimum of 6 months.

Regarding Lulu, please do not fret! Addiction and metal illness are not the only family legacy that she will be reminded of. When ancient ties and feuds are resurrected, Lulu will also remeber that crime-fighting, ass-kicking and saving the world are also part of it.

Spoilers/News: Month of Febraury and March

Now that RC and FV have officially taken over the reigns, many are wondering what will happen, and mainly they are questioning the future of general hospital. Anyone who tells you that RC and FV are not trying to save GH are receiving the wrong information. They really want the last remaining soap to remain on ABC. It is being speculated that the past may bump into the future a la Dallas.


NEWS:
Maurice is very excited about where they are taking his character and he even tweeted that "Frank Valentini is the Jim Harbaugh (the head coach for the San Francisco 49ers ) of daytime. He is kicking ass"

Many are understandably a bit skittish about the arrival of the OLTLers, but RC promises that after their departure, your favourite soap will go in a direction you won't see coming. A fire will break out at the hospital

News: OLTL To GH!

So for a while now, I knew that some OLTLers were coming to PC. Didn't know who they were exactly till a few weeks ago.

Earlier today Soap Opera Digest confirmed that new Executive Producer Frank Valentini had announced he'd be bringing some familiar, Emmy-winning faces from Llanview to Port Charles! OLTL alums Kassie DePaiva (Blair), Roger Howarth (Todd), Kristen Alderson (Starr) and Michael Easton (John) are set to reprise their beloved roles on GH and will report to the set later this month."

Spoilers: RC and FV's Plans

The following are Spoilers/Rumours/News under the new RC and FV regime:

Supposedly, the first order of business for new HW RC is to fix the "mess" that is Liz right now. RV considers Liz character a "legacy

Hearing that JMB is not happy with her characters direction (i.e. alcoholism). If JMB bolts, that role would be assigned to BW.

If JMB were to leave, Lulu would be re-cast.
One of the changes to Robin's story is she will now be presumed dead, instead of dead dead.

Skate-Sonny fully opens his heart to romance and their relationship reaches new heights in Jan.A looming threat may derail their happiness

Liz/Matt/Ewen- still smarting from Lucky leaving Liz has Matt and Ewen in her life to deal with. BUT not necessarily a romantic triangle, she may just get a diversion
