Due to legal issues, the three actors who moved over from OLTL (Kristen Alderson, Roger Howarth, and Michael Easton) can no longer play Starr, Todd, and John on GH because Prospect Park owns those characters. However, ABC has all three of the actors under contract. So, in order for them to work on ABC, they have to be new characters. Apparently, they can't even mention the names of the OLTL characters because they haven't, nor have they mentioned the names of GH characters on OLTL. I'm not a lawyer or anything, but I think it would probably be fine if Michael said to "Kiki," "Hey, you look a lot like this girl I used to date," or something. But, I guess they want to completely break ties and just push forward with the new characters. That's why they tried to change the three's hair, so they'd look different.
