Steve did say in an interview, might have been a Michael Fairman interview, that he would read his script and want to smack himself in the head. He went on to say he wasn't happy with how Jason was being written that the ptb would ask him how Jason would react and write the opposite. He wasn't happy with what they did to JaSam for ME and even said he wanted some happy JaSam family time.
Please he wanted them to kiss his ass the way Guza did and when they wouldn't he walked. Yes the writing was terrible, but it was more about being knocked off his pedestal. Personally I don't think its too much to ask that a character you have played for 20 years not be written inside out just so a new character can be handed your storyline. Its pathetic what tptb did to facilitate john being the hero.
That is why its so funny now that Silas is such a failure and Siam a flop. Serves them right lol.

Now it seems the shoe is on the other foot for Mr. Easton. He had the character he played for years stripped from him and is now playing a character I don't think he likes very much. Plus, the pairing was pretty much all his character had. Instead of looking like he just drank sour milk because he lost that pairing, he should be happy they brought on a new leading lady for him. At the very least he should make an effort.

The best part is the screams from the Siam fans (who generally have only watched since ME came to GH) that Sam is "regressing" and Silas is being written out of character. A character that's only existed for a year is being written out of character. A character who has a history of cheating on his wife and then blaming his mistress for it is behaving out of character.

He doesn't mind not being top dog at Y&R. So I doubt you know what you're talking about. In fact, he wanted to move to Tennessee for years, and he finally sold his house after having it on the market for a long time. He wanted to cut a deal with FV where he could schedule his time so he could fly in to tape his scenes. That alone would probably have reduced his screentime and "top dog" status. But FV wouldn't agree to those terms. He got that deal at Y&R. He got what he wanted, so I'm happy for him.

I truly believe that the majority of Siam fans have absolutely no clue who Samantha McCall Morgan even is because they haven't watched her until ME came to GH. They have no clue who Jason and Sam are to each other and no idea of the things JaSM have been thru as a couple. Love them or hate them JaSam have been written as the love of each others lives and have a long and deep history.

Frank probably thought he didn't need Jason and that Sam could just go on with whoever Michael played. Lol what a difference a couple of years make. Now tptb have been there done that with slam and it is awful, they now know they aren't working so the situation has changed.

I was a fan of both GH and OLTL, and bringing on Easton and the other Livers not only crapped on GH, but OLTL as well. The one thing OLTL didn't get that every other cancelled soap got was a proper ending. Frank is just an arrogant prig and Easton is right there with him.

But FV wouldn't agree to those terms. He got that deal at Y&R. He got what he wanted, so I'm happy for him. A different Op...while I do think SBu was given too much clout by Guza (re: his character and what he would do, wouldn't do), I think FV was the one who had major problems with Burton. Even if Burton didn't like RC's writing he was still willing to work with it. I think the show is worse off that FV will not listen to actors about their characters or allow them to have some leeway in how they play scenes. TG is the only one that seems to get that treatment.
It was more than just the script that made me feel Jason and Sam weren't themselves. That was proven when Steve/Kelly begged FV to allow them to play the divorce scenes the way they wanted. They stuck to the script but added their own nuances. It made all the difference. Those were some of the best scenes they had under Cartini. Personally, I thought they were better than the "what if" episode.

I can't believe how little effort they put in to developing the Silas character. They didn't really write much for McBain either, but he already had a fully developed character. I just don't think RC cares to write for him. He will write reams of material for RoHo and KA. Try anything to make them work. M.E. <crickets>
