Hopefully they knock each other out and are both off the show!

I can’t take the Chelsea hour one more minute. I fast forward more this past year then in 30 years.

Chelsea had to be the worst character besides Avery as interest goes.

Chelsea your so annoying

That was the worst fashion show. Chelsea is a not a designer . No way. The character is soooo boring

Elizabeth Hendrickson=GHs new Robin?

Robin will never be recast.. won’t happen ..

never say never, In my opinion Robin should be recast

I thought theyd never recast actors before but they did…it could happen!!!

yes yes I AGREE WITH YOU, SHE WOULD MAKE A GREAT RECAST AS ROBIN

I am done with this storyline…let’s move on. I did say Lauren was not pregnant…menopause. The writers must be delusional to think that we are so stupid to believe this pregnancy nonsense…she ‘s too old…let’s move on from this storyline too. I cannot seem to forgive Lauren for cheating. What can I say, even at this young age, I have higher morals than she.

I must agree with your comments. Someone needs to ask Lauren “Have you ever heard the term menopause?” Her being pregnant would be as ridiculous as the cheating story line. I could not believe that. “My sullen, wimpy son is in jail. I think I’ll hit the sheets with the bartender.” How is that going to help the situation? It just didn’t add up.

Exactly. Most mothers would be stressing out about their imprisoned child’s welfare. I cannot speak for myself, but I see my mother losing sleep over my niece’s skinned knee. Why would anyone be interested in a Lauren pregnancy ? C’mon writers. She is in her early fifties. She should not be worrying about a pregnancy. …has she ever heard of birth control? Women that age do not become pregnant by accident….Michael and Lauren are not teens whose hormones are galloping uncontrollably..lol. Gimme a break, writers..
I also find how Michael forgave her a bit hard to digest…I don’t know…I suppose I have not lived long enough to appreciate the intricacies of true love and relationships. I know I would never be this forgiving…just sayin’

Rachel and Ada on Another World both had late in life pregnancies much older than Lauren. Now…with Lauren…it just feels like grasping at straws for a story. She has two grown sons! Write for them!

Not only should the writers keep Lauren’s story lines AGE appropriate, they should have the costume department dress her accordingly and not as a teenager, that ship has sailed LONG LONG LONG ago.

I wasn’t so impressed with the catfight as I was with the scenes where both Chloe, Kevin and Chelsea spoke from their hearts– those are the moments that make up real life, the gut wrenching emotional drama of the soul that plays better on screen than any stage physical fight or unrealistic plot devices like buried treasure aka music box every could hope too. It was only a moment, but it reminded me of why I used to love this show so much.

ohh geez..
C’mon Y&R!
That was shouting match, not a catfight,,
Two shoves is not a brawl nor a catfight..
Where was the hair pulling, the kicking, a roll on the floor (that’s a brawl/catfight..

Y&R could not write drama if their life depended on it..
((a shouting match and a push is just that and nothing more)

Amen.

It ain’t a catfight until somebody’s hair gets pulled and the scratching starts.

Seriously…what type of girls do “cat fights”? That is so trashy and ghetto and Jerry Springer and very embarrassing to even watch. Its not entertaining in any way. If you are missing several teeth and live in a trailer park and your boyfriend is also your third cousin and the girl you are fighting is your fourth cousin…okay. When Krystle and Alexis did it on Dynasty at least they were well dressed, but it still made them look like utter morons.

I agree completely. Why the girl cat fight. It made them look like trailer-trash. and please tell me what happened to Chloe’s eye-brows? They go up in a point and she looks stupid. Honestly I think if this was done by the makeup artist, they need to tone it down unless there after the crazy look! Can the writers calm Lily down with her hate issues. The only thing more sickening than her hate episodes is her & Cane in bed all the time. And while we’re at it please get rid of Summer and give us back Adam Michael Muhney. A little Shadam is what this show needs.

Who?????

Tru. I miss the old cat fights. Someone should have got punched- clearing throat Chloe. Someone should have limped away with a blank eye, stab wound, shocked from being tasered [side eye] -Chloe!

Young and the restless would be ok if they just went back to the original music, people need to get on board with this, it added to the scenes making them seem more dramatic. The background music they use now is very cheesy and more suited to a prime time show!

Plleasr fire Eric Braeden, recast with Ron Raines ex Alan Guiding LIGHT.

Yes Donny I agree with you, Fire Eric Braeden now, Ron Raines ex Alan Spaulding Guiding Light, would Make a terrific Victor Newman.

Johnny…AGREED!!!!! And…I’ve always found Ron Raines to be a WAY BETTER ACTOR than Eric Braeden. PERIOD!!!!!

I like that idea!, also fire HK and bring back MM, while we are firing people lets get MCE (chelsea) and Tyler, Nu Abby, nu Billy too, oh I have a longer list!! I also would like to add Lily, she and cane bore me to tears.. I’ll stop now.. sorry….

Tyler and Abby, for sure…not only does he get on my nerves, he also has a giant head and a completely round face…..Abby is too Amazonian and klutzy. Don’t even get me started on Caine and Lily….what does this couple do for fun?….the new Billy is actually the original, but you’re right…I liked Billy Miller much better also. Victoria is a s—–t who calls the kettle black and who will soon become her mother’s daughter looking down her weird nose at everyone. You know what I mean? She purses her lips and you can actually see her nose rise a notch…And, let us not forget her shady, “romantic” past. She slept with her son-in-law ( my mom told me ), as I was too young to know or care. I know, I know, I’m a baaaad girl.

Sue…girlfriend…I totally agree with you!!!!! I especially agree with you about Cane and Lily!!!!! Cane has become so bland and boring and Lily is EVEN WORSE…loose cannon, snide behavior and (most of all) CONSTANTLY running her mouth in general. YIKES!!!!! No Thank You. And, Sue…I (also) have a long list…LOL!!!!!!

Take care, Sue. XOXOXOXOXO

While I would love to see EB off the show, why post and wish for something that will never happen?

I had a reply, but I suppose it did not make it here…too risqué ? I do not like EB/VN.

I enjoy watch behind the scenes.

I like this Chloe, she’s back, sorry EH is leaving, MCE can go to BB I don’t watch that soap, have tried but just can’t, just get MCE off Y&R…..

I have really enjoyed seeing Rick(JR) and Chelsea(Annie) together. They were wonderful together in AMC. It was also great seeing Jill Larson. I am still missing my AMC. Thank you , TPTB, for making me smile.
I will miss Chloe because Chelsea and Chloe work well together. I thought the whole fashion show was fun to watch.

I enjoyed seeing the old AMC gang in scenes together too.

I agree, Fran,
Chloe’s eyebrows are odd.
And her lipstick waaay too red, actually, too.
I think the tension building between Chloe
and Chelsea and the blow-up at the fashion
show has to be related to Chloe’s upcoming
exit from the soap.
I also agree about Lily…she needs to chill!

Why, oh why, was there that funebral pounding surrounding Ian? …is it a BAD omen? So scary…lol

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.
