PC's Destiny

Port Charles had its final airdate on Friday, October 3. The serial, which is a spin-off of the network's popular General Hospital, launched on June 1, 1997.

Interview with PC's executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers

Carruthers says that vampires weren’t a mistake, but continuing with the angels, avatars and witches were. That PC changed it’s universe too drastically and while doing so they failed to make the characters believable, accessible and relatable.

Also she says that there would have been werewolves in the next arc, but not to the degree it’s been published. None would have been seen but there would have been talk of a pack and a queen.

GH is considering other PC actors as possible additions to their cast - no names but probably if others are “called” like Monaco they won’t be the same character. Carruthers says not to look for PC characters in any of the soaps, with the possible exception of Kevin and Lucy, that the PC characters only worked in the PC universe.

Vernee Watson Johnson has been cast as Madea, Imani’s grandmother would may fill in some of Imani’s blanks.

PC PROSPECTUS

Now that outgoing Port Charles executive producer Julie Hanan Carruthers has snagged the top spot at All My Children, could the faithful members of her PC clan be making their way to Pine Valley in the near future? Several names have popped up to make the jump, including Rebecca Staab (Elizabeth), Eddie Matos (Ricky) and Nolan North (Chris).

ABC daytime president Brian Frons has stated that he'd like to keep as many PC players as possible in the ABC family. He has already made inroads with Kelly Monaco (Livvie) who joins General Hospital in September, and Michael Easton (Caleb), who's been cast on One Life to Live. While AMC is keeping mum on upcoming casting news, North's manager reveals to TV Guide Online that for the moment, the actor's plans don't include a move to New York City where AMC is shot. "He's very adept at comedy," he states, adding that North would like to star in a sitcom. "We're going out for pilot season." As to the rumors that Nolan has been courted by AMC, he laughs, "If there's any talk about it, it hasn't gotten as far as his representatives."
