Since Prospect Park now owns OLTL, they own the rights to the characters of Todd, Starr and John. I don't understand all the legal stuff, but the way I understand it, ABC can't use the characters until PP says they can, essentially. So, the three of them are supposed to leave like in March and be gone for a while. I think PP wants them to be on OLTL to help get them started, but it's ultimately up to the actors if they'll appear on OLTL. However, all three of the actors (Roger Howarth, Michael Easton and Kristen Alderson) are all under contract with ABC, so once PP says that ABC can use the characters, they'll should be back on GH. (Unless ABC decides to keep the actors and make them different characters, like making Michael Easton play Caleb Morley or something). Anyway, it's a big confusing legal mess.
