Doesnt move the needle for me!

I think this character is supposedly suppos to have some back history with Lily ! Lord knows Cane and Lilly need something ! Yawn

too young to be an ex-boyfriend of Lilly’s. I dont know, to me, he is like that Ashley stalker Ravi, whats the purpose?

Went and looked up ages he is 27 CK is 29 also other pictures show him to be more mature looking will see just think Lilly and Cane need some pot stirring if they are going to continue on the show.

Relax, Kay. No one said he/she did not like it….we are discussing our feelings. Opining. Isn’t that the point? I would never stop watching, no matter what. Smile.
How did your volunteering go? It is fulfilling is it not? Does the body, mind and soul good.
Later, Kay.

I agree, Timmmy. Revolving door. Dylan isn’t even out yet, and already a new character is brough in.
Something will happen to Dylan– or so everyone will think.
As I said, the door is left open for an eventual Dylan return; whenever.

Stop it she has not fired anybody SB chose to leave probably he did not get the same cushy contract the dragon lady provided now relax take a deep breath give them a chance they have ten years of crap they have to sweep up! If actors can’t be patient then exit left she will get it straightened out it is not about YOU it is about the show

Y&R has always been slow character driven this is what she is getting back to if you do not like it for god sakes then turn it off I am thrilled that all of these characters are becoming themselves again is it slow hell yes but I am willing to sit by and watch them weave their magic! This is the writer who wrote Lauren being buried alive Cassie’s death etc etc ! Give her time

I’m rooting for a trip to Cougar Town with our favorite Glow worm…

If they wanted to bring in a “photographer with serious swagger,” why didn’t they just bring back Malcolm? Even if Shemar Moore wasn’t available, they could recast the character as he already has deeply established roots to the canvas, and could be involved in both the Brash & Sassy story and Winters family drama.

That would have been a perfect idea, since I thought the new writers were trying to incorporate some past cast members into the new stories

Great point.

Shemar may not want to come back, Jimmy. There is that.

Great looking young man but that makes the third young new male character. GC needs some young women to come to town.
That cute computer nerd cannot be following Ashley around like a love struck puppy forever–give him a girl about his age!!

What about the female computer nerd that had the hots for Kevin, who was last seen working for Victor? They would have a lot in commen. She might be little pushy compared to his shyness, but it might be worth as shot

Natalie. Yes….whatever happened her her? It was like…poof–gone.

You’re talking about Natalie. I like the idea you just mentioned but to add some icing to this cake, how about if we have him somehow connected to Hillary? Just another reason for her to keep on being bitchy? That’s when Hillary works best for me!!!

Natalie would be terrific paired with Ravi. I love Ravi, do not want him paired with Ashley.

Sharon and Victor, my friend, was even worse. He is ancient compared to Sharon….HOW, I ask??

Hi, Rhonda,
I agree…NO ASHLEY. She’s old enough to be his mother. We’re not talking about about a few years, here. We’re talking decades. He’s 26. Thirty years!!!!!! Gross.
I like Ravi myself….. easy-going, good-looking guy. He is merely infatuated with Ashley. Maybe he has Mommy issues.
As a nerd, myself, LOL, I get him. He and Natalie would be perfect. But, I do not trust her.

Nothing against Ashley, because I have always loved her but putting them together would put them in the same gross factor as when Sharon slept with Victor. EEEWWW

why wasnt tyler brought back?
redaric had a front burner story with chrisal years back and the two were hot together
would have been fun to interact lily and cane and possibly stir things up even briefly
tyler was a photographer if i remember correctly and cane wasnt a fan..wld ve been perfect
tylers older sis leslie pops into genoa city once in a while ..it would be great to have tyler return every so often too…even to run into abby or mariah, lots of unfinished business

I completely forgot about Tyler, but that’s a good idea! I wasn’t much of a fan of the Michaelson family, mainly because their backstory had no connections to GC and seemed to be mostly an afterthought filler story, but Tyler dropped off the canvas with no explanation, and could have easily been reincorporated into the story.

Abby is single, unless they put him with Victoria. They love to put them young men with older ladies.

LOL.

NO!

Tim…I AGREE…N-O!!! Now…speaking of Abby, WHAT IS UP with Abby’s (current) wardrobe?!?!? To me, it makes her look like a high school student…BLECH!!!!!!!!

Have a good one, dude.

he will obviously turn out to be adopted and looking for his birth mom, who will turn out to be…wait for it….Drucilla….she had given birth to him before she made her appearance in Genoa City….he and Lily will bond and come to realization they are related….it will also turn out he was an adopted heir to Constance Bingham (Adam’s faux mom) and Hilary will jump him because he would be another billionaire to get her hooks into….thus creating conflict with him and Devon…..or maybe he’ll be a gay character and have a hot romance with Noah Newman….Noah hasn’t had any interesting storylines lately and maybe he’ll come to realize he’s gay because he cant make any relationships work with women……so he would be tied to the Winters and Newman clans….I know Sally Sussman is moving everyone around the board like chess pieces, but she needs to pick up the pace….it’s starting to get boring….don’t scream…i’ll give her six months but hope something exciting comes out soon…..

WOW, Scott!!!!! I love the way you think. What a good storyline that would make. Drucilla’s son. That’s a good seed to plant in the writers’ minds. Let’s hope it yields some fruit. One never knows….

Isn’t this character a man from Neil’s daughter past? Hoping it will be a good triangle. 🙂

That’s a fantastic premise, as well, Nik.

He could , aslso, be Hilary’s brother? Or a new beau, considering the fact that as soon as Devon snaps out of it, he will drop her in a blink.
I think TPTB are paving the way for Jack and Hilary to get romantically involved. I have seen this coming for a while.

N-o-p-e. Next……….

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.

‘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.
