I've been through a lot with GH over the years. Time and time again, they have used vets for ratings grabs, to get fans clamoring, and then royally effed up the storyline. Through everything they did to Robert and Holly, I kept watching this show. I liked the character of Sonny, and a few of the others. I will wait for the story to play out, just in case they have something up their sleeve, but if Duke dies..........GH is off the DVr. I will not watch it on youtube. I'm done. It took them from 1980 to 2015 to get me to this point. But Duke is the final nail in the coffin.
I loved Duke and Anna, but I also loved Ian Buchanan. He just seems like a generally good person. He appreciates and interacts with his fans, he's fun to listen to. He always seems to be having a good time in interviews and appearances. And he is damn nice to look at.
I just don't understand any of this.

I have never been a Duke and Anna fan, but I can sympathize with your affinity to this couple and your love for them. I have a deep and abiding love for my couple, Robert and Holly! They have been screwed over, royally, as their many fans have been also. But I continue to watch, periodically, to see if the writers will change their course. IMO, making Ethan Luke's son, was, by far, the worst bit of character destruction that has been done on any soap. At first, I thought making Holly a terrorist was utterly ridiculous and unfair, but then they turn around and made her a cheater, and have Luke's illegitimate child. To add insult to injury, we fans (I did not watch), were subjected to Anna and Robin being in Holly's home....that we watched the Scorpios in for years....with Holly nowhere around when he was dying. It was like he never had a life with Holly! However, I still had hope. Alas, since AG's departure is the opportune time to correct the injustice shown to this couple, I will never watch this show again!

I really sympathize Commish.. Granted, I have never been a Duke and Anna fan, but I understand your utter frustration all too well with GH. I felt all that and more when Holly was trashed and R&H was screwed over and it only got worst when, in my opinion Tristan and Emma was totally disrespected by the show, cast aside after a few days and they didn't even get any invite for GH 50th anniversary. Totally insulting...I totally swore GH off and now only watch it on you tube and that's only if I read something interesting about it. I won't ever give it my viewership, not unless Tristan or Emma are on it, and that's only because I'll always support Tristan and Emma and watch it when they're on.

I'm a Duke & Anna fan but even if I weren't, killing 1/2 of a GH supercouple is just wrong. Sometime, I don't think FV and RC THINK. Ugh!

I'm with you, commish. So mad about their treatment of Ian, of Duke, and of DnA. I have quit the show and have started hoping for a new regime bc I don't want to see RnH written by this one.

p.s. I didn't see 2006 Holly live, I can imagine watching Duke become a mob boss over the last year was what that felt like, and, I know this is an RnH board and so people are going to put this conversation into that context, but I think the only thing comparable to what's been done to Duke/DnA is what happened to Rick/Rick and Lesley. Because, after all is said and done, Robert and Holly are both alive and off somewhere together, which means we fans can have hope for them. What has been done to DnA this week was a deliberate attempt at destroying any hope for them.

IA with you rhda. However, with this regime, Duke ending up alive may not be impossible. They've done it so many times before. Maybe they'll change their minds. I saw plenty of people angry about this and it wasn't just some select few DnA fans. Until the show ends, there is always hope.

I don't know how I didn't see this until yesterday. Commish, I don't understand what GH is doing either. Seeing Duke go is inexplicable. Somehow, I think the nice actors get screwed over by writers( whoever is writing) and i makes me sad. I want to believe there is hope. Dr O just faked a death today...
I haven't quit, but I don't watch day. If R&H come back, I will be watching. I won't be able to help myself. I have a feeling Emma will be back for Luke's exit. Praying TR will be able to join her too.

Not watching...not sure I ever will again. From what I've read, this show actually seems worse than it was during the Guza reign of terror, something that I never would have thought possible.

I have to agree, this is worse than the Guza regime. And Carlivati is rude, obnoxious and childish towards DNA fans on twitter. The inmates are obviously running the asylyum or ABC would have taken his account away by now.

And he is "behaving better" now. but just because he doesn't post crap, doesn't mean that isn't how he is... Hoping R&H fare better with Emma Samms returning.

My favorite tweet from Varni was where he said the ABC lawyers did not want him to comment on Ron's twitter problems. Now, I have seen tweets that NV is no better than Ron, but I haven't seen evidence to support that. He seems to be more politically correct, at least in public.
