Yes, I’m excited to see the time capsules. I’ve enjoyed the recent flashbacks of THE Sally Spectra so I want to see more! Great idea.

Location shoots galore!

Yep, Brother…I was thinking the exact same thing!!!!!

Later, Brother.

I watched it yesterday for the first time in a LONG time and it wasn’t too bad. I had no idea that Patrika Dabo (sp?) was on there and playing Sally Spectra’s sister. that was pretty awesome to see, I hope she stays on there. she looks great on there also. I’m glad they have Spectra even with the same studio and the 80’s logo still there, that was very cool.

When their Mother, (Betty White), was on the show. Stephanie’s talks with Brooke before she passed.

I have a huge regret that I didn’t watch this show from the beginning. I never got to experience Stephanie/Sally. I love the new Sally. She is a great addition and is very expressive with your facial reactions. I am glad to have a breather from the Steffy/Liam/Wyatt and Ridge/Quinn/Eric storylines. Patrika Darbo fits in great and has the same spunk as she did when she was on DOOL in the 1990s. I can’t wait for the Australia remote.

Bold & The Beautiful is my favorite soap. Would like to see Eric & Brook storyline again.

Sheila better be in there! Macy too!

Loving B&B and I have watch off and on since the beginning but I watch it daily now which I record…So looking forward to the flashbacks…Brad Bell, if you look at these post, please hire Jaime Lyn Bauer to interact with John McCook and have JLB and RS go at it…

I wonder if they will show any scenes with Ronn Moss as Ridge? So much of the history between Brooke and Ridge was when he played the character — can’t imagine how you could do history of the show without his portrayal of Ridge– the Ridge and Brooke pairing was a big part of show’s past— so if I can see RM play Ridge again even if only in flashbacks — that be great– but if I have watch Bill and Brooke in that balloon one more time or a Steffy and Liam montage of “their relationship” I will scream.

My favorites were watching Stephanie and Brooke fight in the fountain and so many others between the two of them. As we as when Stephanie died in Brooke’s arms. And the rollercoaster ride they went on together.

Did they kill off Taylor and never tell us no mention of Steffy and Thomas’s mom and yet she has a grandson and Steffy getting married again to the whiner. Brad has no respect for his actors from the past Ronn Moss was on for 25 years and Ibet their will not be any flashbacks of he or Hunter Tylo who was also very popular.

I hope they plan on bringing back more characters from the past like they did with Kristen and Tony. Would love to see Jackie M. and Taylor. (Loving the new Spectra BTW).

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.
