Finally, I am most put off by the "Shelle Reunion" aspect of your “Snap Poll” choice #3. I only know who or what "Shelle" is because I have made it my business to find out; however, I can assure you there are many GH and ABC Daytime fans who have never watched one second of Days of Our Lives (DOOL) and would have no idea who or what "Shelle" is. Fans of GH know who Maxie is. We watched her grow up. Maxie was never on DOOL, so choice #3 is invalid and meaningless. Yet, the effect of providing choice #3 and couching it as a "Shelle Reunion" has apparently garnered support, apparently from DOOL fans voting in your poll who fondly remember the characters Shawn and Belle (affectionately referred to as “Shelle”). I submit those interested in a "Shelle Reunion" should implore Days of Our Lives to give them one. But, that is not an appropriate option for this GH instant poll.

Sadly, DOOL fans yearning for their "Shelle Reunion" have mistakenly been enticed to vote in a poll where there is no possibility for a "Shelle Reunion." General Hospital has had the character Maxie Jones since her birth nearly two decades ago. Now, we will apparently have a new male character, but his name is not Shelle. To intimate to DOOL fans they can tune in to General Hospital for a “Shelle Reunion” is patently unfair to them and to GH fans of Maxie Jones.

I realize these instant polls are strictly fun, non-scientific polls. I even understand these polls have no influence whatsoever on network decision-makers. However, these polls do mean something to the morale of these characters’ fans. This particular instant poll was so badly conceptually flawed as to render its outcome meaningless. I urge the poll be immediately removed; the results invalidated, and a more appropriate poll with existing GH characters be put in its place. Thank you in advance for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
