Rooting for the "villain"

[cowgrrl]

The problem with being a vampire fan is that (especially in older media) the vampire gets killed at the end. I hate that! I've always tended to root for the underdog and the vampire is no exception.

My beloved cheesy and badly-written soap opera, Port Charles, was canceled last year (after it started getting decent ratings, go figure!) but I've still got about 2 1/2 months of the end of the series on tape that I've not yet watched. Recently secret_willow and I started watching the episodes again. Last night, Caleb (the vampire) had a wonderfully triumphant moment, as he finally got something he'd wanted for a long time. I chose to end our evening's viewing on that high note. I'm still savoring the moment! But I just know the writers are going to have it end badly for the "evil" vampire characters. *shudder*

It scares me that the writers will make this go really bad really quickly. I am sure that they will do everything they can to cancel out every supernatural element of the show in the next month or so because really there universe must make sense with GH.. which is not canceled.

GRRRRR!

Well, as far as we know only Lucy and Kevin (both of whom started out on from GH) have actually appeared on GH after PC's cancellation. I'm guessing most of the other characters were created for Port Charles and have never been on GH (though occasionally GH characters have made cameos on PC.)

So there's no reason to totally cancel out the supernatural element, especially on a soap where the writers never cared much about continuity! But they probably will, anyway, just to annoy the fans. Grrrr!
