Put away the hankies. The February 27th death of GH's Alan Quartermaine isn't quite as tragic as it seems. The beloved doc, played by Emmy winner Stuart Damon, succumbed to heart failure, but he will be back on the soap again starting March 8---as a wisecracking ghost. This is no quickie stint. Damon, a 30 year GH vet whose apparant firing had viewers and costars in an uproar, will be around for the forseeable future. "Were going to keep Alan aa very viable character," says Bob Guza. Alan will return to haunt his sister, Tracy, because she screwed with his will. When that's resolved, he'll decide to stay.
Guza admits this is tricky stuff. "GH has never had great luck with the supernatural----remember Casey, the space alien?---so we want to really ground this story," he says. "There will be no etheral, ghostly trappings. Alan will lounge around the Quartermaine mansion in a sweat suit. Only Tracy will be able to see and hear him. The comedic possibilities are very cool"
i've read that this will be a much lighter side of alan.
i have no problem w/alan staying around as a ghost for awhile....esp if he manages to foil tracy & luke's plan to steal emily's inheritance. i just don't want him there for months & months. that stuff gets old fast.
