Speaking with TV Insider on his recent return to GH, Davies shared, “I know Nancy was wanting to work with me again. I ran into (former GH head writer) Patrick Mulcahey at (Santa Barbara co-creator) Bridget Dobson’s funeral and we had a lovely lunch together and a lovely visit and I think it was just the synergy of all those things coming together that did it. Patrick saw me and realized that I hadn’t completely deteriorated over the years and thought, ‘Well, this would be fun.”’

Rather ironic he spoke to head writer Patrick Mulcahey about getting some work at GH, and now he’s in and Patrick’s out. I really do feel bad about that. I was so taken aback by the way-too-many and way-too-quick changes Mulcahey made, but the show has been so good this past week that I think they let him go too soon. I’m frustrated that he didn’t pace himself with all he wanted to do which might have cost the show ratings and/or generated a lot of complaints. He should have made changes gradually. But since the news of his being let go the following episodes have been fantastic. I think the show is heads above what it was with the previous writers. Now I fear we’re going to get the same old/same old again. Maybe Valentini should rethink his decision…

For a long time, the problem has been Valentini. HE NEEDS TO GO.
As far as Lane Davies is concerned, wow, he sounds 90! What happened to his wonderful voice?

Set you all up said the most out their things you fell for it my only issue with Nancy is why can she say whatever she wants but if someone challenges her we are the bad guy!! By the way I wish we had a young person running for President with new ideas to save this nation but they all get a big pay check and live in la la land. Our founding fathers did not intend for these guys to stay in office become wealthy they were suppose to serve the people they do not do it they serve themselves .

He really felt like a father figure to me in so many ways. Still does. He’s such a good human being. He’s been around the block in life, in Hollywood, and then some, and he’s just a wealth of knowledge. And he’s a humble human being.”
