Thank you Michael for doing this interview with these amazing actors Kimberly McCullough & Jason Thompson. I have never been so attached to a couple, like Scrubs, and that is because of Kimberly McCullough & Jason Thompson. I have and continue to follow them even when the story should have ended & the focus should have been on the couple not the FA psycho. Their is a realness and naturalness to Scrubs. They are so relatable & special.. The chemistry between Kimberly McCullough & Jason Thompson is undeniable and the best on all of daytime. I am so ready for Scrubs to move on from the psycho. I totally disagree with them about Brianna Brown making the story. Most people I know, feel as I do, Robin and Patrick (KMC & JT) made the story. When the reveal scenes happened on all the boards, even non Scrub fans, were talking about Robin & Patrick, not Lisa. Lisa was the add on.. That is what made the story the couple. It could be any interloper but Robin & Patrick (KMc & JT) made and make the story. GH lost viewers when it didn’t give up the FA ending. People are beyond ready for Scrubs to reunite and get Lisa to die which we now know won’t happen and fans didn’t get the ending they wanted and deserved. I totally agree that Kimberly was snubbed. Jason Thompson as Patrick said was reacting off of Robin, and Kimberly doesn’t get the nom. Just tells me the Emmys are turning into a joke, especially with so many other talents missing from other soaps.

I totally agree with Jason Thompson and Kimberly about their ideal roles in GH. They know what they’re doing and they a very clear picture on future scenes/episodes on GH.
They are the true characters of Pat and Robin which to my opinion make the show (GH) what it is today.
Jason I totally love ya. You’re one of my all time favorite actors who I admire the most. You’re my inspiration which is why I chose to go into acting myself.

Yay, Jason and Kimberly!! They are so adorable. You can tell they are true friends and really have each other’s backs. I’ll be watching!

Loved watching and hearing this interview, Michael. Everyone loves this couple and we are very protective of our Robin. So, I can’t wait to see how this will play out in the next few weeks or month. They did hint at some possibilities that I caught. But I won’t reveal until that happens..can’t wait….

What a great interview…agree that Kimberly was robbed..love the way the both support each other and obvious there is love respect that not only comes on screen but when you meet them in person. Will be thrilled when Jason wins this emmy not only for him but for Kimberly as well. Truly one of daytimes all time best couple!! Thanks Michael.

Thanks Michael for this fantastic interview. So happy for Jason and agree that Kimberly was robbed. Like JT said without Kimberly in those scenes there would be no nomination. Love the support and respect they have for each other. The way they feel about each other shines on and off screen. Well done.

Such a cute couple – Jason & Kimberly, and therefore Patrick and Robin. I sure am rooting for them as a couple. This was a fun interview and cheers to Jason Thompson for the emmy nomination- he deserves to win it!

Awesome interview ( i have to say Michael you always give the best interviews and always look forward to them !!!) and just adore Jason and Kimberly they definitely made the story for me personally and no one else ! I am soo happy for Jason and can’t wait to root him on June 15th, though i am sad Kimberly did not get one I know Jason will represent our couple well !! Patrick and Robin and their relationship are what keep me watching a show the really gives me no other joy and that is all attributed to the awesomeness that is Jason and Kimberly !!

Thank you Michael for this wondeful interview! GH had it all right when they cast Jason as Patrick, and from the first scene in Dec/05..Robin & Patrick have been the love story to watch & cheer!
Six years later….this couple is more love & adored than ever despite their lack of storylines& airtimes at times. Fans believed & when GH got it…we got Night Shift 2 (#1 was a gong show of the headwriter’s mind….horrible writing wherein the Mob should not have been involved). But NS2 was absolute perfect from start to end…Scrubs shone as did the Scorpio family ties….too bad it hadn’t continued. No couple can hold fans’ interest with nothing but cute bantering or silliness as does Patrick & Robin…fans want to see every facet of their life, including their marriage counselling sessions. Again writers don’t get it…FANS LOVE SCRUBS!
Jason & Kimberly share such a connection & chemistry…akin to the famous big screen couples of days past…Gable & Lomard or Bacall & Bogart.
Hoping under the new headwriter, GH brings back the hospital & all its drama with a Drs. Drake & Scorpio-Drake right in the middle of it…whether it be working on a big medical case or just bantering at the desk….gotta love Scrubs…anytime..anywhere! Hopefully for a long time to come…nothing better than Scrubs Love & of course Kimberly & Jason fan adoration & love<3!
Thanks Michael for all your great interviews & daytime scoops…you're the BEST!

Great interview. Thanks! How about Genie Francis next! 😉

I loved the interview…Jason is so tired, he forgot her name…Haha, but they are the couple to watch, hope he wins that Emmy!!!

Sorry, I’m not a big fan of the duo Pat & Rob, I don’t see the chemistry between the two. I think Jason is a good actor, but I’m not feeling Kimberly’s acting abilities. Too bad they are getting rid of Lisa’s character, she and Patrick have great chemistry.

Love the interview. I am a big fan of Scrubs. And I have been from day one. Love them. They are the only reason I watch GH. Love their chemistry and how they respect and support each other on screen and off.

I love this interview with Jason & Kimberly!!! Thank you so much Michael! You always have great interviews! I love Scrubs! I have had my fav couples on GH over the years, but never was I so invested in a couple as I am with Scrubs! Jason & Kimberly have the BEST chemistry, connection & relationship! It totally shows on screen & off! They are so real! It is about time they get the spotlight! I love them! They are funny & cute! I disagree that Brianna made the storyline though! Scrubs did! I hope with the new head writer Garin Wolf that Scrubs will get a front burner story with more airtime!!! Congrats to Jason on his Emmy nomination. He deserves it! I wish Kimberly though got one as she deserves it as well!

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.

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.
