Roger howarth became famous and know for his role as lovable bad boy Todd manning . He played it for 20 years on one life to live . when that drama ended he was given the chance to cross over his role to general hospital . He succeeded there from march 2012 to march 2013. Then OLTL got the chance to continue as an become online webshow and howarth was forced to leave gh . But the people in charge of GH decided to bring him back in May 2013 as as recast Franco
James franco was on GH sporadically from November 2009 to Jan 2012 and played a serial killer who was also an artist . Named Robert frank AKA Franco . He also raped , set up rapes and kidnapped people .
Fans detested it . He was not one of those "love to hate villains " but he was just hated by everyone . Ratings hit record lows when he was hogging airtime
He was killed off in Jan 2012 . But in May 2013 when they need a role for roger to play again they decided let's make him a recast franco . They whitewashed all his sins and blamed his crimes on a tumor .
You will recall last summer I was so giddy about RoHo being franco and making all these posts and polls about it .
Months later I realize maybe it was not a good idea . He is not well integrated into the canvas . Very isolated . He isn't really connected to any of the bigger umbrella stories . The press and most soap fans detest him as franco
RoHo has only taped 4 episodes since jan 31 and rumors are rampant he quit
So is it true ? Is my god of acting roger howarth not perfect ? Is his franco a flop
