GH Character Edit
A one night stand does not equal a lover or "lovers" in the context that it is used here on the page. Please stop adding that onto characters who have only had one night stands with others. It's not necessary as it can be found on the characters full pages and only cramps up this list and makes it longer. Thanks. Sparrowhawkseven (talk) 05:20, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * A ONS is sex, so they were lovers. And there are many other ONS listed on this page which includes Mayor Floyd to Alexis, among many others.

These ONS and lovers are an essential part of who the character is connected to, which is what this page is. Things that you have added like friends seem far more frivolous and not as accurate since many characters have multiple friendships that change at all times.

I will reword Sam McCall's entry, but that affair was a huge part of who the character is and one of the biggest moments in her entire history, so it should be included here - far more than some casual friendship with Maxie which has no impact on the character. That should be in the main page, but the ONS should be in the brief bio.Chex4 (talk) 12:48, 8 January 2011


 * A ONS is, "hooking up with someone for one night of sex with no strings attached and hoping to never see them again, a one time occurrence." Lovers insinuates "a continuous sexual or romantic relationship with another." Therefore they are very different things. I have removed the ONS between Mayor Floyd and Alexis and have removed some others as well, such as the one between Maxie and Franco. I was working my way through the page, doing a cleaning and removing information such as that which seems frivolous for a brief summary of these characters, which is what the page is meant for. You seem to be fairly new to editing or at least editing here, but if you've noticed the information on several characters has been drastically cut as to shorten the page. The friendships may be frivolous and if so, I will remove them, but I fail to see how a ONS is any more important, it only adds clutter and the page is long enough as it is. For this information, readers can go the the characters main pages and read more about them in detail. I also don't see how that ONS was a huge part of the character Sam McCall's history, or any of characters history seeing as it is just that a one night stand. It was a part of the character(s) story but not life changing. I will remove both the friendships and the ONS. If they want to know more about the characters they can find it on the character's main page. Sparrowhawkseven (talk) 07:58, 8 January 2011 (UTC)


 * On other soap pages I have seen ONS in the quick stats sections, but if this page does need to be trimmed, I can see not including ONS as long as other frivolous data such as friends isn't included as well. Chex4 (talk) 12:11, 9 January 2011 (UTC)


 * I agree with you completely and would love for you to help me trim the article down some. Sparrowhawkseven (talk) 02:14, 11 January 2011 (UTC)
