Crossing Over

ALL MY CHILDREN’s Dr. David Hayward to GENERAL HOSPITAL We’re kind of surprised this dastardly doctor hasn’t found his way to Port Charles already. David, who rivals Dr. Obrecht in illegal medical schemes, was married to PC town heroine Anna Devane when she lived in Pine Valley, and the two shared a tragedy when their baby, Leora, died. When we last saw David, he was getting into trouble bringing people back to life with a secret medical procedure. Our Pitch: David is revealed to have been nursing Morgan back to health after finding him in the fiery rubble of the car explosion. He’s gotten Morgan back on his bipolar medication, performed various procedures to help him heal and more. His plan is to bring Morgan back to Port Charles and get in the good graces of the town’s elite so he can get funding to continue his more experimental and nefarious experiments. Along the way, he will reconnect with Anna, scheme with Dr. Obrecht (perhaps they share a secret past themselves?) and slowly ingratiate himself into the town, putting himself in a position of power that he never had in Pine Valley.

AS THE WORLD TURNS’s Luke Snyder and Noah Mayer to DAYS OF OUR LIVES Luke and Noah weren’t together when ATWT ended, because Luke was mourning the loss of Reid, who was killed in a train accident. But this gay duo had a huge fan base, and DAYS could capitalize on that, especially since they’re losing Paul, one of the members of their current triangle. Our Pitch: Noah comes to Salem to film a documentary on the various crazy stories he’s heard about the town, from demonic possession to people being buried alive. He immediately clashes with Will, who doesn’t think Noah should sensationalize the things his friends and family have gone through, but there’s a definite spark there. Meanwhile, Luke, who is now a wealthy corporate raider, shows up in town to oversee a hostile takeover of Titan. Sonny takes an instant dislike to him, but soon they find themselves attracted to each other and eventually become a couple. Noah finds out that Luke is in town and wants to get back together, so he and Will team up to break up Sonny and Luke. But will their scheming lead to them unexpectedly falling for each other?

ONE LIFE TO LIVE’s Roxanne Balsom to BOLD AND BEAUTIFUL B&B has always had fabulous, larger-than-life characters enriching the canvas, from Amber Moore to Sally Spectra. OLTL’s Roxanne “Roxy” Balsom would fit right in with the best of them. This colorful woman owns her own salon and has her own quirky sense of fashion. Our Pitch: Sally is finally given the chance to design at Forrester, but all of her sketches are immediately rejected by everyone. She reaches out to Shirley for help, and Shirley has one of her “bright” ideas — she calls her friend, Roxanne Balsom, from Llanview, who happens to have her own design ideas. Sally hesitates initially but then agrees to use the designs and pay Roxanne in secret. When the designs go over better than expected, Roxanne comes to Los Angeles to claim the designs as her own! She blackmails a desperate Sally to keep quiet, then sets her sights on a new man — Eric, who’s in the midst of wedded bliss with Quinn. As Roxanne mixes things up for both the Forresters and the Spectras, Los Angeles will never be the same!

GUIDING LIGHT’s Lizzie Spaulding to YOUNG AND RESTLESS Lizzie was a troubled girl who grew into a feisty, strong young woman. But she was also a spoiled brat, and we’d never change that about her. Her spoiled nature would fit in great with the younger set on Y&R. Our Pitch: Having been disinherited from the Spauldings for some mysterious reason, Lizzie Spaulding (played by someone other than her last portayer, Emme Rylan, who is now GH’s Lulu and already played Genoa City’s Abby) shows up in town and starts mixing it up with the various wealthy families, leaving out that she’s no longer got any Spaulding money. We soon learn that she lost custody of both her kids (Sarah lives with Jonathan and her son lives with Bill), and she’s trying to pick up the pieces. When setting her sights on Billy Abbott doesn’t work, she goes for the younger, eager Kyle and courts him for his money. Kyle is smitten by her and thinks he could make a name for himself in the Spaulding family (since he’s not really an Abbott), so the two embark on a romance of convenience. When Kyle starts to really fall for Lizzie, she must choose whether to tell him the truth — that she has two kids, she’s broke and her life is a mess — or go on living like everything’s fine. Meanwhile, a suspicious Summer, who is looking out for Kyle, starts to do some digging and begins to unearth Lizzie’s deep, dark secrets....

PASSIONS’s Julian Crane to DAYS OF OUR LIVES When last we saw womanizer extraordinaire Julian Crane, the billionaire lech had settled down with Eve and miraculously recovered his missing manhood, thanks to witch Kay. But times change, and we just can’t see Julian settling down. Our Pitch: Julian finds himself in Salem after a brutal breakup with Eve and has a drunken one-night stand with a mystery woman. The next morning, he learns that the mystery woman is DiMera widow Kate, and the two are horrified to realize that during their drunken bender, they’ve gotten married! Kate takes the opportunity to go after DiMera Enterprises with the Crane fortune, and Julian is happy to oblige. When Julian meets Stefan, he senses a familiarity and is shocked to learn that Stefan’s mom is Vivian — his former lover! Though Vivian is presumed dead, Julian convinces himself that Stefan is actually his son and tries to stop Kate from going after the DiMeras. But is Stefan really Julian’s son? And how far is Kate willing to go to play dirty?
