Fan Fic Friday-- The Barringtons

DelcoDave wrote 90% of this masterpiece!! ENJOY!! 

A new segment that may start (and end?) with this post. Some of you may be aware that Disney is starting a streaming service called Disney+ in the fall. While they have a wealth of product to refer back to, they will need some original programming. 

Who are we to deny them...May we present:

The great Linda Dano will play Amanda in flashbacks

The series starts with the death of matriarch, philanthropist, multi-millionaire Amanda Barrington. She is found dead in the bedroom of her mansion, presumably from natural causes. (She was 96) In weeks to come it will be revealed that her heart medication was tampered with and she died from the altered medication. She leaves behind the following individuals:

Michael Knight as Derek

Robin Christopher as Lorena

Derek (Amanda's son) - Ruthless business tycoon, always out to make a buck at any cost. He is married to Lorena Sharpe, the owner of a nation-wide chain of health spas called Avalon Spas. Unbeknownst to Lorena, Derek has been laundering money through her companies for decades. Once she finds out, she threatens Derek who in turn blackmails her by theatening to go to the IRS. Derek has been less than faithful to Lorena over the years and has flaunted his dalliances to her.

David Fumero as Mike

Real Andrews as Xavier

 Mike Webber (Amanda's grandson) - Derek's son with Ginny Blake. Although Ginny and Derek no longer speak, she will become a prominent adversary to him in the very near future. Ginny is fiercely protective of Mike. Mike is VP of Avalon Spas and engaged to Jennifer Hardy. They were to be wedded next month but they postponed the wedding due to Amanda's death. Mike is a closeted bisexual and has been in a very long affair with an african-american named Xavier. Mike is on the DL and Xavier is getting increasingly uncomfortable with sneaking around. This will not play out well as it will be exposed publicly right before the wedding. A large majority of their trysts have been at the spa behind closed doors. Were there cameras present to capture anything of importance??

Matthew Ashford as Malcolm

Michael Park as Jimmy Lee Holt 

Malcolm (Amanda's deceased son) - Long presumed to be dead, Malcolm was declared dead in a hiking accident and the body was never found. He survived and changed his name to Sawyer Denison. He left the country and started an environmental, green-friendly group called The Greenbelts with childhood friend Jimmy Lee Holt. Amanda knew about this and continued the rouse and silently funded their company. Malcolm is not materialistic at all. He returns to PC for his mother's will and surprises the family but insists that he wants only what he needs for his environmental group. Jimmy Lee is still married to Celia, with several children. It will eventually be revealed that years ago Malcom and Celia had a brief, torrid affair that resulted in a son. The child was believed to be Jimmy Lee's and raised by Celia and Jimmy Lee. Celia and Malcolm have known all along that he was really Malcolm's biological son. Like all secrets, this will eventually come out.

Gail O'Grady as Elizabeth

Elizabeth (Malcom's supposed Widow) - There was no love lost when Malcolm died. Elizabeth was already out of love with Malcolm and seeing another man. She has remarried (more than once) and will find herself conflicted when Malcolm surfaces.

       

Brian Gaskill as Rafe 

Noelle Beck as Allison

Allison and Rafe (Amanda's granddaughter) - Allison is Malcom and Elizabeth's daughter and is married to Rafe . The bulk of the estate, including the mansion was left to Allison. Derek is furious about this as he wanted to take the fortune and use it for his corporate raiding. Allison is very much like her father Malcolm. She is not materialistic. She is into philanthropy, General Hospital, education, assisting many charities, etc. She wants to set up foundations with the estate, but Derek will do anything to stop that.

David Tom as Sly Eckert

Sly Eckert  - After finding out about Malcolm, Derek recruited Sly to work undercover for him by getting a job with Malcolm's group The Greenbelts. It was easy for Sly to get a job with Malcolm as his Aunt, Jenny Eckert (formerly Hornsby) was employed by The Greenbelts in 1991 when Jimmy Lee hired her to protest the SS Tracy. Malcolm welcomed him aboard immediately and has continued to relay information to Derek.








Jenny Eckart, played by the awesome Cady McCain will return to cause trouble for everyone. She's got years of pent up rage behind her and she's not afraid to show it. 


=================================================================


There will be no crossovers from the current cast of General Hospital. Prominent families from GH past and present should have their extended families be a part of this show along with long dormant characters. The locations (the hospital, bars, restaurants, etc.) will crossover, but the cast will not.

Most episodes directed by: Kimbery McCollough 

Show will be one hour a week, added to a streaming service. 

PS. No Vampires were harmed in the making of this Fan Fiction. (Much to Wubsie's chagrin but please look for her new series  "Teeth" to be added soon.  It will be the spin off of Caleb-Livvy days at Port Charles.
