One of our most read posts ever at “Let’s Get Soapy,’ is the post about Franco & Kiki’s (Todd & Starr’s) last scene together.  The people who watched and loved One Life to Live knew what was really going on behind the scenes and the written dialog.  A man who had watched a little girl grow up was saying goodbye to her and she him and it hurt them both.  I was not a soap opera goodbye but a real goodbye.

When Roger and Kristen came over from One Life to Live to General Hospital, they came over as the characters they had portrayed on OLTL for over 10 years.  On OLTL they had a unique and loving relationship as father and daughter.  They were a fan favorite.  Many fans came from OLTL over to General Hospital because of them. 

Then Prospect Park the production company that had purchased the rights from ABC to produce the AMC & OLTL reboots on the internet sued ABC for breach of contract.  That lawsuit continues on today, the point being that General Hospital had to cease and desist using the OLTL characters so at that time, a lot of scrambling went on and the characters of Kiki and Silas were created.  It was decided that Roger would take over the role of Franco since he is capable of doing crazy so well. 

Today for the first time the new actress portraying Kiki (Haley Erin) had her first scene with Roger (Franco) and in perfect Roger fashion, he looks at the new girl and says, “You look different.”  It is that kind of humor and delivery that makes Roger a fan favorite and a big reason why there are so many new fans to General Hospital.

Roger and Michele have great chemistry together and Let’s Get Soapy can see them becoming a power couple and family leaders in Port Charles.  When Nina discovers that Kiki is actually her and Silas’s daughter, Franco will get to be her step-father.  The character once thought that Kiki was his child, now she will be his step-child.  Maybe they will bring in one or two more lost children for Franco and really build an empire of crazy meets comedy.  Wouldn’t that be something?
