Ham Finns son…probably it will be Kiki so Morgan can have some more bipolar episodes…lol

I hope he’s brought on to steer Kiki AWAY from the the Corinthos…

Morgan and Michael are so far and away just lame and immature for lovely Kiki

Amen Patrick!

Brother to Dr. SexyPecs?

Cameron?

He is a very handsome Italian man! I bet he is working with Sonny or Julian with the mob stuff.

Why, Brian? Not because he’s Italian, I hope. That would be stereotyping. LOL.

I think Kristina runs into him at the pizzeria! “Who do you Love?”

Hottie is right- I love him and most definitely interested. There are shirtless pics on his twitter.

Hottie McHot!

Does GH really need yet another useless newbie? Can’t GH use the cast they already have?

When they look like him….most definitely yes.

Maybe for Kristina

That would spoil the chemistry Kristina abd Parker have.

” Hello ” any one …. ????

did I miss the conversation…. when Kristina … came out to Mom’ Alexis?

Kristina is talking to Lucas… and told him… She did not take it well… and that by the end of the conversation… Alexis is telling Julian… that Kristina is “accusing” Alexis of being a homophobe

i’ll have to go and look for it on youtube

At first reading your post I thought- wrong wrong- since why were we taken down ladypond lane- but you are probably right on the money- as soon as they trot her out as possibly gay they will hurriedly trot her back to straight as otherwise she would have to go as they will not have that storyline in any real way I feel.

My comment was meant as Kristina is still confused, she does not know what she is. We do know she had relationships in the past and was married. I do think she is attracted to Parker but her first intention was to get a good grade. I think Parker may be flattered that a young women is attracted to her, as maybe her marriage that she wants to keep is a bit fragile.

If you look at the men she has been with or wanted to be with Ethan, Johnny, Trey and the boyfriend that she killed. Very poor judgement. Verdict is still on her feelings.

I don’t get this!!!! Daytime soaps are always CLAMORING for something that has NEVER BEEN DONE on soaps before!! Here we have it…a bi-sexual. NEVER BEEN DONE ON SOAPS!!! They do exist, you know!!!! Sorry GLAAD! Sometimes, young girls, and guys, experiment with their sexuality, and then realize “Hey, I’m straight.” no big deal. Go for it! Tell the story!! Due to her abusive past, have Kristina experiement with women, but then realize she is straight! No harm, no foul. No need for parades, and pickets. Just a true to life story! I hope Jean and Shelly tell it!!!!

Get Kristina this guy!!

@Patrick.
Yummy….another Italian cutie.
Oh, Patrick; I love your idea….anything to get Kiki out of “Mortem’s” reach.

Thought you might enjoy him, CeeCee darling. I certainly did. #leftovers #meow

Now, that’s hilarious!!!!!! Thanks for leaving me some, Alexis. LOL

Laughing- thanks for that!

@CeeCeeGirl….So glad that you’re getting another piece of tall, dark and handsome eye candy to enjoy, but for the love of God, can we not have just one “Blond Adonis” for those of us who prefer the fair-haired boys? This endless parade of brunette cookie-cutter cuties is getting ridiculous!

I know, I know, my fair Shaybelle. But, that”s your Italian fare. I never tire of the type…LOL.
You know, I keep suggesting my brother infiltrate the industry just for you, Shay….he’s exactly what you’re looking gor. A true Viking. But, he caught my bug for Astrophysics, with a twist. LOL.
But, seriously…look at DeLuca. WOW!!!!! As Timmmy said; I hope he can act; and has a brain….one must go with the other.
If I wanted only a beautiful face and physique on a guy….I could just stare at my husband all day.
However, DeLuca doesn’t look like a cookie-cutter. He does not fit the realm of American Beauty….
One will not find anything of the sort in Italy….not even houses. Everything is unique….no cookie-cutter anything. HaHa.

Ahhh, CeeCee….Looks and brains! An unbeatable combination…..sounds like it runs in your family! But seriously…..I’ve already told you I find Michael Easton to have a unique and purely soap-friendly façade and I can also appreciate Griffin’s considerable charms…all well and good! However, variety is the spice of life, and I regard the lack of a golden boy on the GH canvas to be highly remiss. The closest thing is Billy Miller’s All-American appeal, and I do enjoy that, but as I have previously mentioned, one thing this soap did so well in the past was to bring in international talent, so if they cannot locate even one suitable fair-haired fellow on this side of the Atlantic, then by all means, let’s import a Nordic God, Blond Brit or even generically-pale male of European extraction to fill the bill. I’m tired of having to locate them solely for my viewing pleasure on such foreign fare as Scandinavian Noir, English dramas and Italian mysteries, though I must admit that their vast array of attractive men certainly surpasses much of anything I see on domestic programming these days.

Well with two beach movies to his name, we know he is in shape and ready to be shirtless—LOL—- Sonny does need a new enforcer since Sean is in jail and Jason isn’t interested–maybe if he is in many scenes with Sonny it will give me something to look at– no offense to Max– who looks more like a teddy bear than a bodyguard– but Sonny needs a new go to guy and I can see this guy being him.

Alexis needs a paralegal and will have one. Or two.

I make good coffee.

As I have read on here a few times, and believe it is an homage to Rod Serling’s Twilight Zone? Anyway I like it, so- May I present for your consideration- This hot stud and a young hot stud- has arrived for Laura. Yes. Time Genie was thrown a bone and this one seems a magnificent specimen. So what if she is a few months older? I would thrill at a new save the world adventure with her new loving adoring boytoy. When I read Genie got a three-year contract, I was happy- but from these pages I gather that those precious contracts can be quashed without any warning. The cast is huge, and some have called for pruning or a plague, and I am open to that. Maybe what Laura is seeking should be a good-sized hand mirror- or full-length, even. So that she might take a good look at herself- and certainly a pleasing reflection- but who is Laura, really? She spent years in a vegetative state only to occasionally be rinsed in cold water and tossed in a salad that seemed shy on the blue cheese. I would enjoy a slice or two of avocado, as well. When was the last season that a GH star was on DWTS? I can not remember. And is Jax completely out of the picture forever on GH?

OOOOOO!!!!! I love it, Rhonda. Go get ‘im, Laura!!!!

I see what you are getting at- we all would love a Cobb salad and some sourdough bread. DWTS rocks and I vote it is added to coverage on here as it is full of drama but not any daytime stars which is just wrong.

Just curious Mark. Are there two of you. I need to make the distinction…your name is with a capital M….the other MARK is lower case ‘m’? Is that the distinction?

– HERE YE , HERE YE –

“…but who is Laura, really? She spent years in a vegetative state ”

along with being the voice of reason… dutiful mother, and grandma

LIVE ! Laura… the world is your oyster… NO MORE LUKE… IT”S YOUR SHOW

all things relative… it has to be stumping FANS imagination RUN with all that Genie francis can

up to this point… there was some “relish” in that candy bar

PLEASE let that key…. and the connection to SCOTTY BALDWIN … LEAD

the fallout and or outcome… from this mystery ala Helena…

I hope it bequeaths her POWER with the Cassadine Empire…

give her something to do… for her own person

Lass Laura shall seize the treasure of which she was robbed, there will be comeuppance for many of mob and white knight the Scott man will be deep involved. Cassadines will pale when soon we compare, the fierce uber new queen Laura, the lassie so fair.

Love the rhymes Boaty McBoatface and all the humor. Love GH

Maybe he is Finn’s heroin supplier ..
He is the pusherman, yup .. ahaa !

looks like he will be connected to Finn ..

You really think Finn is shooting up, su? Oh, gosh, I so hope not! He is a doctor…holding lives in his reptilian hands. I think he is Roxy’s mate, injecting himself with human cells. That’s it. He is a reptile. Well, why not? It’s GH. LOL.

Or Finns son

I was like …. WOAH !

i’m surprised the message boards aren’t on fire … with Finn extra curricular activities

my first thought is that he’s using his body as a test subject ???

I was more annoyed that Carly shows up with fresh towels… and their , those two… go again… gushing about Roxie.

two ad nauseam bonding scenes between these two… do not make them an interesting pairing

@Patrick.
Hey, Patrick,
That’s an excellent premise. Finn using his own body as a testing subject. Would I go too far and say that he may have injected himself with some kind of parasite/microbe/organism in order to find a cure?

Heroin? Could it simply be insulin?

Well, Walter. That is the first thing I said when Finn pulled out that immense needle. For medicinal purposes. As he is an infectious disease specialist, he may have contracted a tropical disease? I also think Roxy provides him with the serum….and, he is using it on Tracy, as well.

What in heaven’s name do we need another new face on the G.H. canvas for when those of us who’ve been watching this show for decades don’t get to see the people we really tune in for??
I want to see Mac and Felicia, Lucy, Laura, Scott, and anyone else who’s been missing from Port Charles or is only there off-screen. These characters’ history with the show and fans should be equally, if not more, important than bringing on yet another new face.
And can we please stop having these actors referred to as ‘hotties’ and ‘hunks’. They are actors with experience and, presumably, talent to bring to whatever show hires them. It’s not always about sex appeal, okay?!

Oh my god, sexy man. Now I need to take a cold shower lol.

Oh, yeah, Lorenzo. He is Italian, afterall. I have one of those!!

I’ll have Carly bring some fresh towels.

He is really handsome. I hope he can act! He will either be connected to Finn, Griff or Nathan. I see him working in the hospital as a rehab specialist with Kiki. I hope she dumps Moron and also dumps that god awful name! Go by Lauren, your not 15 anymore! Haley rocks baby!

Yum I’m gonna start watching GH again!

Michael,
He’s certainly hot. I personally hope he’s not connected…….BRand new an d mysterious. would love that……

The new Spencer…he has been on the island and rapidly grew up

Good one!’

I’ll bet he’s Roland Berlin, brother of Rachel Berlin and son of Raymond Berlin whose Ponzi scheme is the talk of the town these days…

Good call Alan. I think they should cast Mr. and Mrs. Berlin as well.

Isn’t Raymond Berlin dead? I am not sure….well, Bernie is. Lol.

I’m glad GH took my suggestion. I just don’t think the cast is large enough….

Vey good casting

I think the kid could be Brenda barrette kid with sonny a secret love child she put up for adoption come to gh to stir th epotup and lands JOSHLAIN JAX

hum a 30 year old man and 12 year old girl??

Sorry thought he was a kid apologies

He should be a love interest for Kristina. She is clearly not gay. She is just confused and rebellious.

yes

No!!!!

Better for Molly….both so pretty…LOL.

Gay people LOVE being told they are confused. Smh.

Another character to eat up more screen time when they can barely write for all of the characters they now have on canvas. Guess this means we’ll have another Lucas and Brad siting sometime next year. Forget about ever seeing Felicia and Mac again.

@CeeCee Sweet, weirder things have been played out on the show,
nothing would surprise me at this point. Loved Nina ripping into Julian
on yesterday’s show..she’s so pretty!! That black dress was EVERYTHING.
I don’t know about you, but….. I’m really tired and bored w/ Sam & Jason
I was done with them before it began. No spark, No chemistry, No chance,
they’ll never be the “super couple” TPTB were hoping for. That magic was
with the original Jason played by Steve Burton…. For me B Miller will always
be Jake. Moving on to Hayden…she’s got to STOP calling Elizabeth’s children
brats or make any other derogatory comments about them, that sincerely irks me.
I see the writers testing the waters and pairing unlikely characters together…Some
actually look quite good as an alternative “couple”… Curtis could make a piece of
toast look gooooooood!!! even rotten Hayden. Nick & Elizabeth should give it ONE
more try… down the road, there are no secrets, no lies between them, there’s a lot
to be said about your long history with someone… They R very protective of one
another. Julian and Nina looked better suited together than he currently looks w/
Alexis…Don’t get me wrong I was a huge Julian & Alexis fan when they first met
and bonded over Danny. The reveal at the gallery and subsequent love affair was
spectacular. Julian needs to be his mobster self again, under the guise of the
newspaper editor. Since Anna & Sonny are gunning for him…Should he go down…
he has to dirty his hands in order for the storyline to come full circle.
Nathan, Claudette storyline who cares another dead end. Finn is still a puzzle
to be solved, lots of possibilities. Just my take. ❌⭕️ Sweets.

Yes he is Jake to me also

Ah, Fanny, ma chere amie,
You know how much I love my Michelle. So happy to see Nina divest herself from thst girlish perdonality affixed to her by the bosses.
Oh, yes….she’s gorgeous…those legs go on forever…I am jelous…LOL. A little, black dress can do wonders to any womanly body. Stunning.
Tell me sbout Sam and Jason. They hang out, sit around, have their indecipherable, mumbled conversation ( just ask Timmmy, lol) …no emotion, no expression. Then, Sam asks, ” want to go check it out?”… Or something to that effect. Jason shrugs his shoulders and follows like a little lamb. Nothing! Nada! Rien! Niente! Nicht! No dparks. And, you and Bonnie are right….he will always be Jake….or Billy Abbott.
As yourself, I really liked Alexis and Julian together, at the beginning. I thought they were steamy hot….until their sexusl interludes became too much for a working mature woman ( actually any woman, man) who found so much time to indulge anytime, anywhere…..to the point where their offspring and then some , kept walking in on them.
Obviously, that was the direction they were given, but it got to be too unrealistic for me. My opinion is my opinion, and I hive it without reservation or apologies…comme vous, ma belle dame.
If today’s display of ‘a hissy fit’ from Nina is any indication of sexual tension between herself and Julia…?….I don’t know…maybe. But, he is such a miscreant….a snake, ready to pounce at any given moment. The last thing I want is for Nina to get hurt.
I care not what happens to Alexis. She new better. She’s as burly as he, been around. If she gets hurt by Julian, she’ll survive the syorm as she has many others before him. But Nina is a butterfly with delicate wings. She is just starting to spread those gossamer feelings. And, yes, ajulian should go down; only because he is not trustworthy nor forthcoming with his wife or anyone else. He is a doublecrosser…no contrition.
I have already said that this Claudette thing is stupid. I had spun a tale when i first said thst the glove belonged to a girl in Nathsn’s past. However, i also expected for her to materialize in zpC. THAT would make for a challenging story/love trisngle. Other than thst, it is a wash.
Kisses and hugs to you, as well, my sweet lady. Please forgive the typos.

Jason got boring as soon as he became JASON and got back with Sam, together they are a snooze fest. I hope Liz gets with Griffen, and I agree about Hayden needing to stop picking on Liz kids, Liz should tell her call me anything you want but leave my kids out of it . Love Nina too and I hope Anna gets Julian soon he needs to pay for his crimes.

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.”

Courtesy/ABC

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).

Photo: ABC

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.

Photo: ABC

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.
