Like a lot of GH’s stories, too much time has passed and we dont give a damn anymore!

Amen!!

Why did u gh writers take way tooo long

I think the Parker and Kristina storyline should definitely continue. This is 2016 and this kind of things happen… Let it play out.. The chemistry is there.. I feel it’s a very important topic.. Who cares about the age difference.. People fall in Love with people of different ages. Many people get married and later on realize they are gay. Two very talented women who deserve a contract..

100 percent agree. In 2016 the rules are OUT the window!

I think Parker and Kristina should cntinue please if it don’t continue I will not b watching the show anymore if it don’t continue they should b in love.

I love… Ashley Jones period.

I know…. John Deluca is a charmer…

WHAT a conundrum and the best of both worlds

LUCKY Lexie Ainsworth

she has been an absolute delight since her return from “college”

she is right up their with the best couples

and they are all so young !

1. Kiki and Dillon
2. Lexie and Aaron / Parker
3. Molly and TJ
4. Tracy and Sabrina “dont’ you ever leave me again” bff or what ?
5. Monica and the audience… she never misses a beat

when or when… will Mac and Felicia grace our telee
will Kevin and Laura kiss and make love already… Laura will turn!

simmering on the pot… and festering…. is their still stimuli – I hope so – Franco and Liz

Scotty and Bobbi
Brad and Lucas

and then their are the standouts !

oh WAIT ! I WANT an all out exploration of Ava and Nicholas

Anna
Tracy
Huxtley
Claudette
Griffin
YES… i’m still giving Mr. dreamy Nathan a shot

you see how their is so much fun to be had and a feast for the audience

WITHOUT – Sonny/ Carly – Julian/ Alexis – Jason / Sam

BACK to Lexie Ainsworth… you are the best thing going right now… with thee lauded Corinthos clan….. yawn on all the rest… I thought Morgan was thee standout…

Kristina is at the head of the pack

Ingo Rademacher is in the house ” JAX ”

what a cure for what ails ya

As TVLine details, Ingo Rademacher will begin airing again as Jax on the July 29 episode of General Hospital. Spoilers indicate that he will be back for a bit, but an exact time frame has not yet been revealed.

John deLuca looks amazing and sexy in pictures. He fell short for me seeing him ‘live’. He did not click with me, as an actor. He’s good-looking, but no oomph….I thought he’d be taller….
Anyway, I’m with Timmm, not interested in this story anymore.
If there will be a potential Parker-Christina storyline, it must be one so captivatingly reeling, in order to recapture my fancy.

While I would prefer for her to be back at The Bold and the Beautiful, the story at General Hospital is clearly there. So, I’m here for her becoming a more consistent presence in Port Charles.

Parker looks old enough to be Krissy’s mother. Creepy cradle robber if you ask me. Keep her with someone her own age.

I should look that great!Alexis and Kristina have had bad experiences with men,so why not a different kind of story

I am #TeamParker I think that Aaron is using Kristina to get information about Sonny. I hope that Kristina and Parker get together soon I don’t care about the age difference between them love is love I am so tired of people who are judging the Kristina and Parker storyline I feel that people need to stay out of other people’s lives imo I feel that given the events of the past few days in Orlando I feel that society needs to mind their own business

Donna,I’m with you 100%

Exactly right on

Neither pairing for me…Kristana is a snooze but im blaming the writing…i loose interest quick when characters are dropped for long periods then suddenly appear with a story without much buildup…case in point…Molly and TJ havent been shown together since whenever are suddenly shown discussing getting a place together…and TJ suddenly finding out(thought he already did) that Shawn is his daddy-big deal without Shawn…two years ago Dr. Lisel warned that Nathan’s daddy is far more dangerous than Victor Frankenstein and than nothing…GH has improved somewhat but they really need to cut back on cast and more continuity in the storylines!!! JMHO!!!

Meant Cassidine not Frankenstein-lol

Right, Jimmy?….,Dr. O’s cryptic words about Nathan’s father still haunt my mind. LOL. Are we supposed to have forgotten about that?
I suppose TPTB have yet to figure out who this purported evil phantom is. Will ‘they’ ever?

I thought TJ knew about Shawn being his dad, too-and you are right, no real excitement there.

TJ has never been an interesting character for me. He lacks that certain something so inherent to cspturing the viewers’s attention. In my opinion, he drags Molly down.
Thus, no matter the storyline, TJ always leaves me wanting.

I can’t believe Ashley Jones is back to work already. Didn’t she give birth about two weeks ago?

Parker and Kristina please, hopefully handled in a realistic way with a front burner story.

Nothing against the actress but I don’t care for the character or the s/l. Hope they won’t drag it out forever. We haven’t seen enough of Kristina to become invested in her. The producer is too busy introducing too many new characters. GH feels like a revolving door. No sooner do you get interested in a s/l than it disappears for weeks on end.

Yes,a lot of new characters,but Kristina,Molly have grown up with us.Let’s see their story,who cares about Nina?

Nina michelle stafford is a beautiful talented crazy over the top i love nina an franco true love waited to have sex nina is not a slut

My problem with GH in recent years is not that there are no interesting stories, but too many of them. None seem to really simmer and build day to day. They run their course or we get a chapter poof! characters disappear or are gone, replaced by another story with another bunch of people. I am sensing a return to a more community approach to telling stories in Port Charles but there are way too many people around to really invest in someone or something.

Why does gh not let lynne herring aka lucy b on contract not even a bit she was a star on spinoff port charles with hubby scotty great couple get them together again not kissing in her undies at the nurses ball omg

She’s SOO Beautiful, my husband and I Thinks she glows with this young man, Aaron!!!”Congradualtions on your “SWEET BLESSINGS”!!!”TYL”!!!<

Judy,young man tooooo good to be true

Another somewhat “dropped” storyline that I forgot about…

ok-
Kristina and Parker; there is no story of them.
They have had incidents, short go nowhere scenes but no story.
There is nothing. It is another go nowhere short clips.
Kristina and Parker kissed, whoa big deal, but no gripping anything about them.
Way I see them; they don’t even exist/totally empty.

Suoo,Ashley pregnant at that time.Perhaps they could have waited but it should go full blast now

I thought this storyline was left dead in the water..It goes to show how poorly the head writers are doing.

They leave stories and character on pause, only to bring new characters and stories.

Will keep my disdain on check and see if these writers can salvage this story which seem promising in the early stages.

I understand that Ashley Jones was on maternity leave but her absence was not handle well..She is a very good actress, glad she is back.

Paired her up with a grown woman..Alexis anyone? She has been dogged by so many ex husbands and men, make her switch sides for a bit and throw in her daughter history with Parker and that can become top entertainment to watch!!

Omar you could have a point!At this point Alexis must be fed up with men.Maybe the story will go that way!

Oh, my goodness. Being gay is not a choice, is it, Omar? Don’t think so. Neither is being straight. We are what we are. Kristina may be bi, but, I would think Alexis knows her sexual preference by now!!! Nah.
Besides, that would be the coward’s way out for Alexis.
So, every time someone ( straight and/or either gender) comes out heartbroken from a relationship, said person should just try a homosexual relationship?
I guess you also think that if a gay person has been romantically hurt, he or she should give heterosexuality a go.
I wish it were that simplistic, Omar. LOL.

Celia, I am not talking about real life..Being gay or straight is NOT a choice..Anyone that comes out of a heartbroken relationship usually finds the gender that they originally find attractive.

I am talking about the show..FICTION!! I would love to see an over the top storyline for entertaining value..Not some politically correct BS of a story…Who cares about Alexis values, give us some dirty and scandal filled storyline! It is a soap opera NOT real life!!

I guess, Omar…..Fiction can be taken to the extreme. I think there’s already too much of it, as it is. I would welcome some reality with open arms just about now. My opinion only. LOL.

No, I’m rooting for Kristian and Parker!Glad she back and ready for a brand new story line!

Budding romance with Aaron? We’ve seen all of three scenes with them together. Frankly, GH has a very hard time telling a story for characters that aren’t in the forefront (ALexis, Julian, Sonny, Carly, Jason, Sam); other than them, stories are left dangling only to be picked up weeks later. So, as much as I like that Ashley Jones is coming back to revisit this story, Kristina called her like a week ago and that’s where we last left THAT.
While I’m on the subject of dangling stories …. so, GH did a PC move and married off Lucas & Brad only to never see them again??? wth? Not even a reception? First night together? Honeymoon?
If GH isn’t going to bother with these stories, then trim the cast if you don’t care to write for them correctly!

All the couple stories have had a weak start and anticlimax parting.
Not only the couples but all stories are very weak ..

GH used to be the color Red, now it is very pale pink ..

It’s not even pale pink, it just grey and so boring..I been FF so much of the show, that I question myself..”Why am I still watching this show??”

Need new writers please!?? Please bring back RC or someone fresh and young!!

GH just needs to trim the cast by A LOT and concentrate on characters we actually like and want to watch.
I still go back to Genie getting all this hoopla that she signed a 3 year contract and yet, she’s on 1x every 3 weeks! Does anyone care about her story? No, because there is no story.

DeLuca seems like a good addition but doubt he’ll be around for long.

Amen!

Sorry, but even as a straight male, Aaron was a far more welcome presence on my screen. Obviously soaps have a long history of extra-marital affairs, but are we, as an audience, supposed to root for Kristina to be a home-wrecker, especially with someone who seems to be misusing their position as an authority figure? If the college/university found out about it, clearly Parker would be out of a job. Also, the story didn’t really take off in the first place, like Brad and Rosalie’s faux marriage. Sometimes storylines are best left on the backburner. Just my two cents.

Aaron is too green if this is going to be front burner. Rumors are that he is only interested in Kristina to get info on Sonny for his mob enemies. If thats true, I like Aaron but the story is too heavy for him!

Timmm, I also think that Aaron is only interested in Kristina because of Sonny and that this latest bad experience with men will lead Kristina to be even more invested with Parker.

I agree with you Tom. Not because of the possible gay storyline. But because, as yourself, there is a third person involved….a love triangle, if you will. I am not into cheating of any kind.
And, to parrot you, Parker is in a position of authority…. It’s sickening to me. Teacher-student hanky-panky is never applaudable regardless the circumstances; regardless if the people involved are gay or straight. A no-no!!
However, there needs to be a certain amount of cheating, crime, mystery and controversy to whet our interest. Well, for some of us, anyway. LOL.

Listen, IF GH wants to make a name, get some attention, do something DIFFERENT, I would have Alexis, Kristina and Parker in a female triangle! Its not TO crazy. NLG is a forward thinking women. Alexis should be tired of all these THUGS who she married and screwed her over! Wipe out the males in her life and go to the other side. Meanwhile, Krissy is rubbing elbows with Aaron and sees her mother spending way too much time with her Parker and is JEALOUS! BOOM, triangle, probably a first for daytime. Come on Jean and Shelly, DO IT!

Love when big sis sam calls lexi krissy they are cute big sis middle sis and molly much wiser than mom alexis

I vote Kristina and Parker… Hell I vote me and Parker she is hot!!!

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.

Photo: ABC

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.
