What are your thoughts on the return of Stone Cates?
» The story: Michael Sutton to reprise role as GH's Stone

It's great. I think having Stone's 'spirit' help Robin is a great idea.
Stone and Robin's story was great, but I don't like visits by spirits.
I didn't like the Stone storyline and would prefer that GH not revisit it.
I'm not sure that I want GH to bring up Stone in current story.
I have no opinion about the return of Stone Cates at this time.
