WATCH 53 Shades Of GH: Julexis Version!

As Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Julian’s (William deVry) wedding day approaches, GH took a moment to reflect on this sexed up duo and show some scenes and clips from their bedroom romps, and when they first met.

With Valentine’s Day fast approaching this video ditty should delight Julexis fans, who really helped pushed this couple and its popularity in to the waiting arms of the writers of GH, who are allowing the duo to hopefully tie the knot next week.

But with every big soap opera wedding, something tells us these “I do’s” will not go off without a hitch … or several hitches!

Watch the video after the jump.  Then let us know: Do you want Julexis to get married? Do you hope the wedding falls apart? What do you think will go down during the nuptials, and what did you think of this video? Comment below!

I’m beyond excited for this wedding!! If I weren’t already going to be home, I’d take off of work for this event. I have loved Julexis since the beginning and can’t wait until they say their vows in front of friends and family. Obviously things will go wrong, but I hope the ceremony is heartfelt and is all about them. And this video? LOVE!!

Is this couple really popular? Not in my circles.

On GH there is not much love in the air. Julian and Alexis at least try! Nick and Hayden are hot but they are both schemers so we cannot rally behind them. Maxie and Woody are a bore! Any suggestions Liam?

Yes, Timmm…how about focusing more on veteran characters. It appears that just about any character that comes down the pipe is somehow associated to Sonny and mob company….even recasts. Sure, Alexis is a vet character of sorts, but the way TPTB have pimped certain characters over the past 10-15 years, I just have lost interest. It seems to be a trend at GH to provide sainthood to characters who do not deserve it and to create villains out of characters who were actually good characters.

How about giving Liz a love interest that sticks instead of constantly using her as a plot device to pimp other characters? Jesus Christ, we still have no clue as to who her real mother is and Jeff, who was a main character tied to the beginnings of the show is made out to be a father who has no interest in keeping up with his children (BS). Laura is also used as a plot device and has no storyline of her own, no job, and no love interest. We now have Tristan Rogers back and have an opportunity to sign him to a contract, but he has had no scenes with Laura and again is used as a plot device to pimp characters associated to the mob. Monica is rarely shown with her son Jason and is AGAIN used as a plot device. Yet, someone like Julian who was a blip in the 80’s is recast and given an entire family and has become Sonny 2.0 (kids populated by different mothers).

GH is in a sad state simply because TPTB and writers over the past 15 years have tried (and failed) to put their own stamp on this once great show instead of focusing on the things that made it a great show to begin with.

thank you

I just do not… want any of them

William DeVry … Julian… is a simmering feast intrigue that’s going by the way side and wasted… on NLG’ Alexis…

I have posted ENOUGH ! … that she has never once.. had a lasting relationship

the audience is expected to believe.. just because he is the father of her eldest child .. that she has the stamina… and HOLDS his magnate stud muffin complete

give me a break.

stretching this out… while Olivia is in the wings

yikes! not worth watching at all

Thank you, my poetic Patrick! You provide the balanced voice of reason to those comments here that would be more apropos to “CougarBeat” fanzine! How anyone gets their jollies watching these two going at it like dogs in heat is beyond me…..

Hi Patrick…the reason Akexis hasn’t had a lasting relationship was her choice for the most part. She was originally portrayed as an extremely intelligent kick ass lawyer…which she still is. With a bite. Which she still has. Funny, sarcastic, always loyal to family and friends.
But she had commitment issues. She and Ned were a great couple years ago and were supposed to get married. She couldnt go through with it. She had a pretend marriage to Jax and she was really happy…because she knew it was temporary so she didnt freak out. He was and is her best friend. She, like so many other Port Charles women…Laura, Tracy, Sam, Elizabeth, Sabrina, Diane…later gravitated to “bad boys.” But again it was she who broke up with them…Shawn I believe being before Julian. Because…he wouldnt leave the mob. She broke with Julian too as u know until he made good on his promise to really leave the business. (Should be interesting if the wedding actually happens and he gets back to the mob…)

Anyway, I think Chrystie Delancy’s post further down summed it up nicely regarding Alexis…it’s about time! And I think if you had watched her years ago you might be an Alexis fan as well! Either way…best!

Did I not tell you, Patrick, that your prose becomes poetry? Even Shay agrees. I hope you realize that!!!!! Well put; poetically and otherwise!! Kudos.

@Liam…..We obviously travel in similar circles….those of good taste!

Robert and Luke were best friends. When Luke left and Robert showed up in town it was an absolute SIN that he and Laura didnt have any scenes together!

ALL the writers who come and go promise to revisit the legacy stories and focus on the hospital and it is always BULLSHIT! Later.

Their having fun, let them get married and sex it up! To all my Michael Fairman Friends, I wish you all love and hapiness over the Valentine’s Day weekend. There is NOTHING like lying next to someone who you are truly in love with! Timmm.

Sorry, but I find Julian to be a bore. Have never been into this couple.

LOVE THEM!!!!!!

I gotta say;
soap sex is ridiculous and lame, very lame..
OK- it’s daytime but if they are going push sex they need give us something that resembles sex..
Phoney very badly portrayed sex is laughed at sex campy or FF..

At the least, the very least give us some sex reality, a pleasurable moan, perhaps;

..oh … oh …. YES ….uh uh ohhh” 0o0o0o0oo..baby! oooh aahhh oh yea! ”THANK YOU JESUS!

Or at the least.. a long building sighing moan and after breathless smiles..

c’mon, a naked shoulder and leg, kissy no motion silent sex, is not sex and should not be pushed off as sex.
Witnessing that lame stuff is bad for a persons labido.. LOL

If they are going to have sex they need something to let us know they are having sex, before, during and after!

((and if J&S bring that horrid bathtub bubble sex (most godawful sex stuff I ever witnessed) to GH … well………………. ahaa ahaa!

(I needed to vent that…..

su0000, GH is on ABC not HBO!

OK su…its a soap not porn…lol

hey Timmmm & Jimh..
I guess you guys haven’t seen porn, or heard it… aha!! 🙂
Pleasurable noise is just natural when having sex, it’s not porn, it is natural…
Soap have robots programed to show a bare shoulder and a leg thrown in kiss and some see it as WHOOPIE HOT SEX … ahaa!

the least that can be done with the horrible plastic soap sex is to let us hear they are enjoying it… lol

He could do soooo much better. Too bad.

Penny…oh, I agree!!!!! I am S-O OVER ‘The Julexis Mania’!!!!! B-L-A-H!!!!!! N-e-x-t……….

Great way to express it, my friend, Jay. ‘Mania’ is perfetto!! Who falls for a woman well-past her prime to have so much sex?! I can only hope…. LOL.

Ew…i just threw up my dinner…lol

Unfortunately GH has just lost that special something that used to make it must-see for me (namely the addition of characters such as Nina and Franco, Kiki, etc.), but I will say that it is a nice change to see Alexis being portrayed as a still sexy woman instead of the menopause direction they were taking her.

Nancy Lee Grahn has ALWAYS been a gorgeous and vivacious woman and she and her character were done a terrible injustice by not having her involved in a romance for such a long time.

I SO agree Chrystie! I say that all the time…

Hi, Chrystie,
Alexis ‘time’ of menopause came and went a while ago. So, it would not even apply in her case, albeit that would have been a much more realistic storyline….just sayin’. Later.

I love that Alexis is FINALLY…hopefully…going to be happy in love and getting to the alter…and I love that they depict healthy sexual relationships across the board. But it does come off campy…I think the “choreography” needs a little more of this and a little less of that. Or something, lol. But practice makes perfect!

julian is a weasel, and i can’t wait for the day Anna puts his ass in jail or Sonny kills him or fill in the blank, i mean this is really a bad couple, i love alexis, but damn is she bad at picking guys, oh well can’t save everyone, the worst part is she knows how bad he is and what he’s done, but she must be so desperate, it kind of explains sam and why she’s so needy and will settle too. oh well, is not like she’s unaware what a major deutchbag he is.

You go, girl. More power to you, Aria. And, it bothers me to no end how we are not allowed to express our feelings, while those who doth protest do it, at will, all the time, themselves. One cannot change his/her tune mid-concert.
I have changed my song a few times, Aria, but, it took time. Later.

This is a case in which I am going to listen to my grandmother’s admonishment that if you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

hi Harry 1
That was true before the internet / twitter and all.. LOL

I know, Su00, but sometimes even I get tired of the sound of my own negative voice.

Opps–I forgot to take off my Valentine’s Day Gag mask!

Well then I’ll say it, Harry1…..Calgon, take her away…….please! (No more boinkfests beneath the bubbles!)

Hey, Harry 1,
When did the color of your coat change? LOL.

You never fooled me, “Sir Harry I”……both your trademark use of that fond phrase “thing(s) of beauty” and the “Sparkle” designation were dead giveaways!

I don’t mind Alexis and Julian as a couple. But I do wish their story had been built more on relationship rather than their mutual sexual attraction since their first encounter in the bar and backseat of a car. But with everything going on around them…Christina and Ava in particular…I figure this big wedding is just a set up for all the other potential chaos to come. But it is too bad there hasn’t been a real wedding with no glitches on GH for a very long time, including the Robin/Patrick send off.

Exactly, Rose. I guess I could never express it the way you just did. I, myself, would have loved to have seen a mature couple such as they to act and interact as adults, and not as a continuation of ‘that’ fateful night ….’in the back seat of a car’. I, actually was not aware of that fact, Rose.
Regardless, you made your point, which says it all. This couple has grown children with multiple issues….some, life-changing.
I suppose, the Kristina topic has been talked about incessantly by the viewer, and therefore, TPTB have finally alerted Alexis to pay attention to her daughter’s subtle nuances. This is the story that should be on the forefront; not a wedding that will probably last one minute…or not take place at all!
There is no realism here. Forgive me for being repetitious….but, Alexis, in sexy-giddy-mode, is a wash-out for me. Not endearing; only petulant.
Later, Rose.

A wedding that “will not take place at all….” From your lips to the “Soap God’s” ear, CeeCeeGirl! After reading some select spoilers, I can only hope that indeed shall be the case! It’s time to put an end to this monotonously mediocre misalliance, and cut Julian loose to pursue either the mother of his baby son or anyone else more age-appropriate. As Harry has stated, the fact that this man looks so much younger than a woman that is supposed to be his junior by a few years is simply so obvious that one needs be myopic to miss it…..it cannot be ignored by any observant individual. From the fore, there’s never been any substance to this tawdry twosome…only repetitious, titillating activities which have become more laughable with each passing episode, and therein lies the inadequacy of the entire premise that these people actually belong together. The whole concept, especially that of a frou-frou wedding more befitting of a first-time bride, or at least a beloved long-time supercouple, just smacks of a fantastical cougar-inspired fairytale, not a realistic love story in any way, shape or form.

Hi Rose…as you probably know if you have read any of my posts, I too like Alexis and Julian. I think that the writers were compensating for not portraying Alexis as the sexual woman she is…so much so that they emphasized that part of this relationship before we had a chance to see them bond on screen emotionally. But I think after the original shock, panic we saw that Alexis was intrigued by the father of her child after all these years…was taken by his good looks…but became emotionally interested when he offered to help save Danny’s life even before he knew Danny was his grandson. The shared daughter, meeting after so many years, bonding over Danny…I think those commonalties combined set the ground for their relationship. And as much as they were groping each other every screenshot…they’ve not been portrayed that way in a while. We’ve seen them share a holiday, lunch at rhe metro court, at the Crimson offices…etc. So as much as the few who like to repeat over and over the naive, biased comments that that’s all Alexis does and thinks about…sex…that’s obviously not the case. I’m interested to see how they handle the wedding…I think the last, perhaps only wedding to go off without a hitch was Robin and Patrick’s first wedding. If I remember it correctly…

Is FBI Agent John “Jagger” Cates on the Level? GH’s Finola Hughes, Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson Weigh-in

When John “Jagger” Cates resurfaced on General Hospital in recent months in the form of Adam J. Harrington taking over the role originally played Antonio Sabato Jr,. know one knew quite sure just what side of the law is Cates really on? And, is he back in Port Charles to settle old scores with Sonny (Maurice Benard) and Jason (Steve Burton)?

What viewers have learned is that when Jason was taken captive two and half years ago, back in November of 2021, he was taken to Quantico, where Agent Cates had multiple RICO violations on Jason and was going to send him to prison for years, unless he worked for Cates and his team, in which Jason has been an informant working on the inside on the Pikeman arms deal case, or so it appears.

Now on the latest episode of Steve Burton and Bradford Anderson’s Daily Drama podcast, Finola Hughes (Anna) stopped by to chat with her GH co-stars and all three weighed-in on just what they think maybe going on with John Cates.

Bradford Anderson brought up that maybe Agent Cates isn’t working on the level. Hughes responded, “I don’t know, I’m not sure.” Burton added, “Yeah, we’re not sure. There’s some unknowns coming, so we’ll figure that out. But, it’s been a fun story to play for sure. I really like it. A lot of layers to it. I’s been excellent stuff to be back with for sure.”

Finola added, “I think we’re gonna be going through finding out who certain people are that are coming on canvas, like John Cates and Brennan (Charles Mesure) and where do they all fit in?”

Steve added, “You’ve got Pikeman and what their real motives are. “Jagger” obviously. And then, Pikeman is not facing on-screen.” The question of if Pikeman is a person also got brought by Anderson, to which his co-stars added, they believe it’s a company.

Explaining more about Brennan and what he was up to was answered by Hughes,”That’s a sort of throwback, perhaps back in the day at WSB. He just came on the canvas briefly. Nobody knows if he’s goo (or bad). I (Anna) got him put in prison, so he’s off, and out of the way right now.”

Now let us know, who do you think John “Jagger” Cates is working for? FBI, Pikeman, himself, or some other unknown entity or enemy? Share your thoughts in the comment section.

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.
