ohh no– poor guy
he has be those loud nutters..
May the force be with you, Jason…

UGH Blah! Sage , the Dr, The baby switcheroo story. Really can I be real right now. How I feel whether Sage gets her baby back or not , Just rolling my eyes . So ready for a real juicy story not baby drama. Sorry not so sorry . Not feeling anything for the story whatsoever. I want Adam the daddy and Chelsea and Adam broken up. Enough . Get moving on sexy stories as for Billy and Noah come on forget that mess. Lets move on. Noah made a innocent mistake . Next

Can we have the writing back were Adam was so in love with Sharon

I really loved Kelly . Pladed by Cady. Her talent was stellar. I loved Sharon and Adam and loved Dru and Neil and Amber and Cane o0r Daniel. Kevin was great with Jana. Best days were 1990’s for me. I fell hard for The Young and The Restless . Sharon and Nick were young and in love

Sharon Newman is my favorite character

Never watch The Talk, but will DVR it to watch his segment, for sure.
And the above picture of him – so adorable! He looks so playful
and kinda mischievious. Love it.

Jason, watch out for that Sheryl Underwood! When Steve Burton was on she practically MOUNTED him! Gross!

LOL Timmm I was about to post a similar comment– they should at least give the man some protective padding if they can’t keep Sheryl enthusiasm in check

Yes Mary and the other problem is ALL the women talk over each other! They should do their topics in the beginning as a group and then only have TWO women interview a guest.

Timmm…dude…as far as I’m concerned, that Sheryl Underwood chick needs to learn how to keep her hands to herself. Just saying……….

Jay, I will watch the show for JT but generally because of Sheryl and that Sharon Osborne, uh, no thanks!

I’ll have to watch. He has been doing a good job as Billy.

Jason Thompson is a wonderful actor and sexy as hell LOL I will be watching the Talk, to see Jason. I love him as the New Billy boy.

I hate The Talk so much. They all bow down to “Mrs. O” like she’s God’s gift to humanity, then they make fun of anyone with a hint of a moral compass. The only person I can stand on there is Sarah Gilbert because she’s sweet and kind. The rest of them are Osborne butt kissing immoral wenches. They made fun of a celebrity who came out publicly saying she was staying celibate. They’re like a bunch of mean girls in high school with Sharon as the head cheerleader who torments anyone who doesn’t worship the ground she walks on. Then any time it’s humanly possible, she brings her creepy family members on there to shove down our throats. I’d just like to know what exactly she has on TPTB at CBS.

Hmmm… I do believe I got carried away! I hope it goes well for Jason! They’re going to maul him like a den of hungry lions.

Hi Ash: you are not…. carried away

argh! Britsh aires… no?

she capitalized on Americana

she came to America the land of the free and had an inroad with Ozzy Osbourne

I do not see an ounce or smithereen of appreciate… what she’s worth

she is in constant act before any and all camera

a little humility… a little care.. a little decent

??? she had an emotional breakdown… had to take upwards of a month away from “The Talk”

is she entitled to an aristocracy that we are unaware ?

give me an expletive break

I see it in the ladies who envelop her

she really doesn’t have a sense of humor… she culls from expected and flippantly disregards everyone…

It just doesn’t follow… why bother with her?

her kids are done… Ozzy is on his last needle

bye bye

ie: captalized on Americana… you can bet she has the last laugh

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.
