No doubt about who would be hot enough! GRAYSON Mc COUCH!!

I didn’t know who Grayson McCouch was, so I looked him up. Wow! Sounds good to me!

Damian from Asthe World Turns

CREEPY

Peter Reckell!

Peter from days or john black from day’s sonny from gh

Also they just need to bring back Jack Wagner, He was that kind of guy!

Eric Sheffer Stevens… Paul Satterfield… Christopher Cousins… Timothy D. Stickney… John Wesley Shipp… Trent Dawson… Grayson McCouch… Michael Park…

Just because i want Grant Alexander as the new Ridge, i will say Michael Park

I said the same thing!!! Grant Alexandre is the PERFECT choice to play Ridge!!!!!!

Since Y&R wasn’t smart enough to keep him how about Steven Nichols!!

SN belongs back at DAYS!

That bridge was burned along time ago.

Everybody who watches this show knows the guy will be involved with KKL/Brooke! I am beginning to think she has it in her contract that she get’s all the new guys it is way past a worn out story.

OK, one more Jon Lindstrom

Can Ronn Moss speak with an accent? 😉

Brooke. Oh, she is with Bill, and has been with Ridge, Deacon, Nick, Oliver, Thorne, Eric… I know I am forgetting someone!

If Katie is over Bill, the this new man — a Spencer rival — could go for the youngest Logan.

Who knows? Lately I am not sure I care.

You’re forgetting quite a few. There was Dave her first fiance. There was Grant, another fiance. There was Whip, a husband. Did her and James the shrink have a thing? I must be forettig someone. Nary a male passes through this harbour without docking in the Port of brooke.

Connor the attorney she never slept with Whip that was simply a cover up for the affair with Deacon yes she was engaged to James then Taylor was presumed dead the first time and Brooke jumped back after Ridge. To say the character of Brooke has been ridden more then the race horse Seattle Slew would be an understatement.

“ladies man”– is that B&B code for we need another man to sleep with Brooke pronto?

There is only one soap that can handle SN; Days of our Lives!!!

Long live Steven Earl (Patch) Johnson!!!

Dean Cain!!

Ted King, Vincent Irizarry, Michael Parks or John J York only if he can work on GH too!

Grant Aleksander

Did the cast Alexandra Forrester yet?

Doesn’t the show have a Thomas? Why name a new character Tom? For that matter….Thorne is in hat age range and is popular and underused. Why not use him instead? And while you’re at it, why not bring back the supremely popular Lesli Kay as Felicia?

I’d love it if LK returned as Felicia!

Any ethnicity? A char w/ an accent? Would they cast a racial minority who’s part white bec that actor would have more anglo features and lighter skin though? Bec that would not be really progressive and would really be the norm for a lot of tv shows. It would be great if they cast an African american actor who can do a british accent. Yes they have texas battle and carter. And how many of cast members are white? Dark skinned hispanic actor and Afro latino actors would be great considering how they seldom get telenovela roles. Asian american actor would be great. Would b&b really go w/ a char who’s a ladies man portrayed by an Asian american actor given how hollywood often portrays Asian american chars to be very asexualized and the object of ridicule? It would be great if b&b cast an Asian american actor considering how blatantly racist a lot of hollywood tv shows are towards Asian americans. It would be really horrid if a racial minority actor can’t even get this recurring role.

No doubt (to me) that this mystery man will be someone that Katie has hired to cause trouble for Brill. She told Bill that Brooke will move on to another, maybe even back to Ridge, and that he should never feel secure in his relationship with Brooke. I’d say that is Katie’s main reason for being out of town right now, hiring a guy to prove her point. And as for who should play the part, a hell yeah to Grayson McCouch. Other considerations: Peter Reckell, Jon Hensley, and Robert Newman.

I love the idea of Katie being behind this!

Timothy Adams is 46yo, still cut and gorgeous!

I’d just like to see Ricky Paull Goldin back on B & B… either as Jesse but this new casting sounds a great fit all round.

Agree about Ricky Paull, but just think, they have let 4 great actors go that fit this same description!!
Ricky, Jack Wagner, Rick Hearst, Jon Hensley! What the hell are they looking for ADONIS??

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.
