For those of you have been missing Diane Miller as much as we have, we are in luck!  On-Air On-Soaps Podcast co-host Carolyn Hennesy took to Twitter to announce she is on her way back to General Hospital after Diane has been MIA for months!  Carolyn tweted, “Morning…almost afternoon muffins! Well, for those who guessed GH…you are correct! Diane is coming back to PC!”

The once smart and sassy mob lawyer was reduced to a gossip columnist by the last regime, on GH, so how will Diane re-enter the canvas this time under Ron Carlivati’s pen?  Details on just how long Hennesy will be sticking around, we will scope out!

Carolyn also took the opportunity to pay homage to former cast mate John Ingle (Edward Quartermaine) who passed away this past weekend tweeting,  “John Ingle. Shared his dressing room (on his days off.) Always left the NYTimes crossword for me to finish. Pure class. RIP, dear friend.”

So are you excited to see Carolyn back on GH?  Should Diane come back on as a lawyer, gossip columnist, or something else? Let us know your thoughts!

All I have to say is that it’s about time!! Diane has been sorely missed & there is no one like Carolyn Hennesy! Hopefully she’ll be back as the sassy legal eagle everyone loves.

i am so happy carolyn hennesy is coming back to general hospital as diane miller. she is a wonderful actress. please put carolyn on contract. she is a beautiful classy sassy lady. i want diane and alexis to be a lesbian couple. that would be a great storyline on general hospital.

Lawyer Ms Miller, needs to protect Sonny’s coffee business. Love Alexis & Diane combo funny gal pals. If I’m lucky back with Max. Thank you GH!

i agree margie love alexis and diane as gal pals, the show needs that kind
of friendship between women as we all know, not a lesbian couple no way
she needs to be with max and handle sonny’s legal trouble and or business.

great move gh

I can’t wait to see Diane go head to head with Todd.Fireworks are sure to fly.

Tough attorney & cougar to Max’s boy-toy!

Love Carolyn. She’s the epitome of a classy lady and I hope she’s back for a long time.

I think Diane should be Todd’s lawyer on GH. He has making up to do since he fired her to hire Heather. It will be great to have Carolyn and Diane back!

Absolutely love her character, I enjoy her work with the characters Spanelli, Alexsis, Sonny and can’t wait for her character to interact with Todd! The comedy between them two would be hillarious. Great comic relief.

oh yeah so true debbie she has chemistry with all of the cast

and she can kinda handle sonny sometimes even though he may not like her]
opinion or input but that makes good soap vieweing,

and her and todd would be a hoot

YES!!! WooHoo… laets get her back and someday let’s find out she is Spinelli’s mother!
Welcome back Carolyn… you were missed!

I am so happy that Diane Miller is returning to Port Charles. Carolyn is such a great actress………Would like to see her as the barracuda attorney we grew to know and love.

Don’t remember her????When exactly was she on GH??? She reminds me of Tiffany …Shawn Donnelly’s wife….From long ago….

OMG! You must not have watched in the last four or five years! Diane was brought on as Sonny’s lawyer. She quickly showed her toughness and ability to stand up to Sonny – while enjoying a wonderful friendship with Alexis and finally steaming it up with Sonny’s bodyguard Max. She wrote a book with Spinelli and her overall snarkiness were a breath of fresh air. LOVE HER!

I have been watching GH again since OLTL was cancelled…Like GH a lot lately…Thanks for the info…..

Diane Miller, is one of Sonny’s funnier and better lawyers. She’s a hoot! She is Alexis’ best friend, and she’s shopaholic (loves shoes!), also was friends with Kate Howard. She had a thing with Max, one of Sonny’s guards. She was on from Jan 2007 to early 2012.

She’s a fiesty little redheaded, no nonsense, shoe-lovin’ shopaholic lawyer. She’s very funny! She’s been mentioned by Alexis occasionally as being one of Alexis’ lawyer partners, but the actress has been off doing other things including True Blood.

i love she’s coming back!

Sounds Good!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Looking forward to seeing her on GH…..Thanks!!!!

She also was writing the gossip column for Crimson…but when Todd took it over and changed it to The Sun, he was blackmailed by Heather into giving her the job. He fired Diane over the phone – so we can’t wait to see her meet him face to face. 🙂

Should be very interesting !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This actress, this character… this is why i like daytime drama… and GENERAL HOSPITAL.

I do hope there is a lasting place for Carolyn and Diane in Port Charles.

wouldnt it be great if diane came back with all the money from the jerry jax con and took over port chuck lol

I have missed her so much. Very good news.

Well amen. Get her back into bed with her man! I love her.

AMEN!!!! I have wondered for a while when she would be back and how she would be written for. Great Great Great

Very good news. She has been missed. GO GH!

Awesome! I miss her comedic pleasure; hopefully Cartini don’t lose that pleasure at all. I hope she returns as a lawyer, though. Alexis seems to be failing at her job.

Super Glad that Diane/Carolyn Hennesey will be back on GH soon! I have missed her wit and sometimes acid tongue!
With Kirsten Storms back and now Carolyn H. General Hospital will be Rocking! Yay!!

So happy about Carolyn/Diane returning to GH! I want her to come back as the tough, sassy lawyer she once was, and resume her affair with her “flexible” beau, Max! Lol! Scenes between her and Todd ought to be hilarious!

YAAAAAAAAAAY!!!! Doing a happy dance! 🙂 Diane has been SORELY missed on GH. Her interactions with everyone are so real and hysterical! Can’t wait, hope she brings Max with her and they stay for a loooooong time. 🙂

Love, love, love her as Diane Miller!!! Can’t wait!!!

I wish it were Scotty Baldwin returning.

Great news! I hope she reunites with Max.

Great news! Carolyn will bring a much needed spark back to GH. She is smart and clever and is great on your podcasts, Michael. Hope you will have one soon…

Nancy Lee Grahn’s Star-Studded ALS Fundraiser Reveals “I’ll Be There” Video Featuring Soap Opera Notables

Talk about your impressive line-up! It’s a soap fans dream and for a great cause. General Hospital’s Nancy Lee Grahn (Alexis Davis) is prepping her one-night only ALS fundraiser which will feature many of her friends and co-stars.

The benefit is set for May 4th in Glendale, California. Slated to participate are Genie Francis, Jane Elliot, Peter Bergman, Maurice Benard, Eileen Davidson, Thorsten Kaye, Michelle Stafford, Stephen Nichols, Rena Sofer, Jason Thompson, Kelly Monaco, Melissa Claire Egan, Maura West, Kristina Wagner, Gregory Harrison, Trevor St. John, Kate Mansi, Kirsten Storms, Cynthia Watros, and many others.

On Wednesday, Grahn took to her social media and released an “I’ll be there” video shout-out featuring, Monaco, Elliot, Bergman, Bernard, West, Harrison, St. John and more. In a touching and important moment in the new video, Michelle Strogny, who is battling ALS, is featured.

Previously, in speaking with Soap Opera Digest on the impetus of the event, Grahn recalled, “I was actually doing Zoom events during Covid and I met this woman that I just fell in love with, Michelle Strojny. At the time, Michelle had been living with ALS for four years. Now, it’s five years. She is a mom of a teenage son, she has the most wonderful husband, and she has been dealing with this [disease] for quite a while. And obviously, there isn’t a cure yet. It’s not survivable yet. But as she says, it’s not incurable. Nothing is; it’s underfunded. But anyway, I just really dug this woman. She is so grounded and filled with grace, and she spends all of her time working to raise money for the cause. We did a fundraiser for her last year and then I thought, ‘You know what? The soaps don’t ever get together to do something for charity.’ Collectively, we have this amazing community and we don’t collectively use it for a good cause, and I think it’s such an easy thing for us to do and we could potentially really make a difference.”

As GH viewers know, Gregory Harrison is playing the character of Gregory Chase, who is also battling ALS in a touching storyline that is currently playing out shedding a light on this disease.

Check out the video featuring Nancy’s friends and co-stars below.  Now let us know, your thought son the line-up for the benefit and helping raise awareness and funds for ALS research via the comment section.

‘General Hospital’ Writer Shannon Peace Let Go, and Shares on Sprina: “One of My Only Regrets is to Not Have the Opportunity to Develop That ‘Ship’ Further”

As General Hospital’s new head writing team of Elizabeth Korte and Patrick Mulcahy gets off the ground and running, there are still changes a foot on the writing team.

Now comes word via breakdown writer Shannon Peace that she is no longer on contract with the long-running ABC soap heading into its 61st season. Peace shared a heartfelt message on her Instagram, thanking the fans, and the show for the opportunity and the importance of diversity in the writers room.

Peace began, “After almost 3 years on staff and 106 episodes penned, I am no longer on contract with General Hospital. Writing for this country’s longest running television serial drama has been an education of epic proportions; I will forever be grateful that I earned my WGA card on a daytime fixture that holds memories for so many.” (Peace pictured below with GH EP Frank Valentini and script writer, Charlotte Gibson from about ten months ago).

Shannon added “Even more importantly, as the sole Black breakdown writer (and only POC in the writers room) during my tenure, I pushed for vital interactions and discussions that prioritized inclusion, visibility, and representation”

The writer pointed to the example of vital interaction when in story, “Stella and Portia’s frank July 2022 conversation about the role race played in Esme’s framing of Trina is just one example of the impact I’m gratified to have had.”

Acknowledging former GH co-head writers was also part of Peace’s farewell expressing, “Appreciation to my former bosses, Chris Van Etten and Dan O’Connor – not only taking a chance on me, but for valuing my opinion and championing my voice.”

Many GH fans know that Peace was key to the development of the love story between Trina Robinson and Spencer Cassadine as played by Tabyana Ali and Nicholas Chavez. Shannon gave a special shout-out to ‘Sprina’ fans, “I also want to thank fans who were supportive of my work, especially the recognition of my love for ‘Sprina’. One of my only regrets is not having to develop that ‘ship’ further.”

She concludes her statement with,”In the aftermath of a historic writer’s strike that shed new light on the troubling ways writers are regarded in daytime, my sincere hope is that General Hospital recommits to valuing staff writer efforts and input, with a more intentional focus on diverse viewpoints — and thrives for another 60 years.”

Accompanying her post, Shannon added, “Thank you all for the love and support these last few years. I hope GH fans get all they hope for and more!”

So, what do you think about GH not renewing Shannon’s contract? Will there be more continued changes afoot? What do you think is the future of ‘Sprina’ anyway at this point as viewers wait to see if Nicholas Chavez officially returns to the show?  Comment below.

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Jason Learns Britt Died and Tells Anna He Has Been Working For Cates Since November 2021

On the Tuesday, March 26th of General Hospital, Anna (Finola Hughes) and the viewers learn about where Jason (Steve Burton) has been for over two and half years. However, Jason gets some news of his own.

Anna is visiting Jason at the PCPD interrogation room. She asks him if he shot Dante (Dominic Zamprogna), which he flatly denies. Anna believes him, but she tells Jason it doesn’t matter, because video footage shows him on the roof at the time of the shooting

When talk turns to Jason not willing to speak without his lawyer present, Anna can’t grasp why Jason would instead spend an hour alone talking with John Cates (Adam J. Harrington).

It is then that Anna brings up that John went by “Jagger” and that the two of them knew each other in high school. Jason doesn’t recall much of his time in high school following his brain injury, but then he gets furious realizing John knew about “Jason’s” past. That is when Jason slams the table and tells Anna, “I’ve been working for John Cates since November 2021.”

Next, Jason explains further that he has been working as an informant for the FBI. Anna wants to know how this came about and he tells her that after the tunnel collapsed, and he couldn’t make it to Britt (Kelly Thiebaud)… all of a sudden he sees Anna’s face drop.  Anna is the first person to tell him that Britt died and was murdered. She tells Jason the killer is in custody, but he continues to be shocked, overwhelmed with tears welling up in his eyes. Realizing he has to pivot to save his life, Jason continues telling Anna how he wound up working with John.

Jason explains that after the tunnel collapse in Greece, FBI agents grabbed him and placed him under arrest and took him to Quantico where he met John. At Quantico, John played a recording of RICO violations and offered Jason a deal if he agreed to be an informant against Pikeman, the illegal arms dealer.

Anna hears from Jason that he thinks Pikeman is selling illegal arms to anyone flagged by the NSA but has ties to the WSB which they needed a civilian to infiltrate their organization as a military soldier, a mercenary.

Jason tells Anna he was a part of the team brought into eliminate Sonny (Maurice Benard). Every time an attempt was made on Sonny’s life over the last two years, a different team was sent to do the job. Anna gets furious when she learns that John told Jason his job was to kill Sonny and she was with John at the warehouse that night. Jason ensured the sniper missed Sonny and left the rifle behind. However, they were supposed to meet an extraction team. Before he was shot, Dante saw it was Jason on the roof and when he turned around with his hands over his head, Dante was shot by the other guy. Jason says if Dante dies, he’ll be charged with capital murder and then will be useless to the FBI.

Meanwhile, John visits Bobbie’s and runs into Carly (Laura Wright). She learns Jason is in custody and is going to head to the PCPD. Before she does, Carly has some words with Cates when she learns not only does John have a vendetta against Sonny, but Jason too.  Carly tells John he should recuse himself from the case.

So, what did you think about the moment when Jason learned Britt died? What do you think of Jason’s return storyline thus far and what we learned about Jagger/Jason and more? Comment below. But first, check out a moment from today’s GH with Jason and Anna.
