I thought the whole reveal scene was HILARIOUS and not in a good way. So ridiculous.

He wants them to ENJOY the show. DOOL are you listening?!?!?! Such a contrast to MarDar saying that pissing off fans was a good thing. See the trajectory of the ratings for the two shows, IIC.

I've been so jaded over the years with new writing teams changing personalities and "direction" that I almost EXPECT to be disappointed. I honestly thought that it was just another case of an old character returning to foil a couple (in this case Luke/Anna) without any regard to history or a once great love story. I'm surprised that I'm not disappointed. I think that's a nod to some good writing - although I'm only cautiously optimistic (!).

Guza hated writing for vets and only did it sparingly, I'm grateful that there's a headwriter that can have fun with the soap while keeping it interesting! If only General Hospital Night Shift had been under a time of RC and FV, it could have been something different!
