I really liked her on the lying game. She could give Lily run for her money with Cane!

Am sure she will be sleeping with Victor by Christmas. In fact, I wouldn’t be surprised if a “Who’s the Daddy?” storyline unfolds in the spring involving her Victor and Noah.

Oh, great – first we get “FOJ” (friends of Jill) popping up on “Y & R” and we get “FOP” (friends of Pratt)?!?

THE LYING GAME was another lame attempt by Pratt to create an hour-long drama on cable – didn’t last long and now we’re going to be subjected to castoffs from his prime-time abortions?!?

Thinking she will have something to do with Neil and them probably something to do with Malcolm.

Most likely she is some long lost relative of Katherine’s and she will be romantically linked to Stitch. Stitch is badly suited for Abby and I am sorry, his pairing with Ashely is just odd and borderline creepy.

Amendment to my original comment–I think she is the sister of the soldier who served in Afghanistan and who died. He was Stitch’s patient and today he said he was going to notify his next of kin.

Hi dear Harry..
I believe you are correct, yes!…
She even matches with his family characteristics- hair, eyes..

My first thought was she might be related to Victor’s manservant that used to be at the ranch years ago– Miguel. He left the ranch in 2008 to help take care of a sick aunt, maybe Emma is her daughter–Miguel’s niece. Or maybe Marissa will turn out to be related to Miguel. Because if they are going to have newbies it would be nice if they could tie them to the history of the show. Speaking of Marissa, does anyone else have this sick feeling there is a Marissa-Victor hook up coming down the pike? Brrrr gives me shivers just thinking about it.

Mary–like your idea better than mine. I loved Miguel and was just thinking about him.
Yes, the sickening thought of Victor hooking up with Marrissa did cross my mind when she told him that she was raised in an orphanage. Did you see Victor’s face perk up? Considering that he’s old enough to be her grandfather (just like Jack and Marco) and she is romantically involved with his grandson, it would be especially troubling.
PS> I like the actress who plays Marrissa–she’s easy on the eyes and her acting is not half bad. She reminds me of a younger Eva Longoria, who also got her start on Y&R.

Oh goodness, yes. I saw Victor’s lips get even more moist when she told him she was an orphan. And that thought crossed my mind and then I thought: no. The lowest of the low was him marrying Sharon who was like a daughter to him for years, not to mention his actual daughter-in-law. To have Victor compete with his GRANDSON for a woman would be a whole new level of science fiction/fantasy that I’m not sure I could sign up for. Like you, Harry, I like Marisa and I think her acting is better than that of some other newbies we have seen. I would like Victor to take his eyebrows, his mustache and his moist lips….on a long business trip. Far, far away.

It doesn’t matter who she will be connected to..
If she is not a Newman or Abbott she will be near insatiable ..

Great, Just what the show needs, 2 more newbies (They signed a new actor also) -Whose airtime will they be at the expense of this time? I wonder if she may be related to Sage. Just what we need more family of hers to keep her in Genoa City.

Totally agree, Vicki!

Sage may be one of the most boring characters in dayitme. She has zero personality. I fast forward through all of her scenes.
Of course the head writer earns more revenue for characters that he or she created which is why so very often core characters are ignored by new writers.

So true, Harry. Sage is so completely bland and her pairing with Nick
is ridiculous, too. Like you, I also FF Sage. When I see her, I always
am like Why? Why is she there?? And too many core characters are not.

Nanci, the other day Sage freaked out when there was a fly in her room and Nick saved the say by swatting it with a fly swatter. Both Sage and Nick just stared at the dead fly as if it represented something.
That was the most riveting scene in which Sage participated thus far.
Previews showcase Sage trying to clean the streaks off her glass sliding glass door and she cannot figure out if the streaks are inside or outside. She becomes hysterical and somehow blames Adam….or Windex.
Stay Tuned! Sage is as exciting as my robo vacuum. No, I take that back–my robo vacuum is far more exciting.

LOL, Harry! You are hilarious…I cracked up reading that, especially Sage
with the glass sliding door…totally got a visual of Sage in that whole scenario!

The only fly in ointment of that theory is Pratt didn’t create Sage, Altman did. What Pratt did was change Sage from a mastermind con artist who used Bingham money to make Adam Gabe so she could collect the fortune to Suzy Sunshine who wants nothing more than to be barefoot and pregnant in Nick’s kitchen.

The same thing happened to Avery. MAB created her to be a tough as nails lawyer with an ax to grind and Griffith came along and made her Betty Crocker 2.0

It is really sad when female writers create strong and powerful women, just to have a male writer turn them into helpless damsels in distress who want nothing more out of life than to be with the man they love–

So if Sage is dull as dishwater it is only because it seems male soap writers are stuck in the 50’s in their portrayal of women or else rumors of JFP hatred of smart intelligent female characters has overrule every writer desire to move female characters on the the soap into the present century

All Pratt writes for on women is nuts or sluts!

She is Sharon’s doppelganger’s daughter who will mistake Sharon as the doppelganger. She is going to replace Sharon’s medication with placebos! Sharon will go for treatment in the psychiatric hospital where her doppelganger works!!!

I see her being Marisa’s younger sister.

When I first saw her picture, my thought was that she looks very similar
to Marisa.

If Pratt was going to pull someone from Lying Game it should have been Christian Alexander as the new Fenn.

Hi K/Kay,
Trying to find a bright spot of some women not nuts or sluts,
and I did have to think hard actually, lol. But we do at least
have Chelsea, Jill, Lily, Phyllis, Mariah, Victoria,and Marisa who don’t
act nutty or slutty. Those are the only ones who come to mind!

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.
