On-Air On-Soaps fans have been quite excited over the past few days with the news of one of their favorite One Life to Live stars was heading over to General Hospital! Of course, we are talking about the talented Florencia Lozano who has a confirmed first airdate from a GH rep of May 7th!  So Tea Delgado will emerge in Port Charles and most likely mix-it up with Sonny and Todd!  According to all the reports, May Sweeps is when Roger Howarth will also be returning to GH as Todd Manning.

So the big question is … will they powers-that-be bring Trevor St. John into this mix soon as the very much alive, Victor Jr.?  Will Tea perhaps be the next women to be seduced by the charms of Sonny Corinthos? Or, will she go after justice against Todd?   There are many avenues to travel down here in the capable hands of GH’s head writer, Ron Carlivati.

Let us know if you are excited about the confirmation of Lozano, and who you would like to see be her love-interest if they should go that route? Sonny? Todd? MIA Victor Jr.?

Yeah my Tea Delgado is BACK can’t wait 2 see my chicka in action. Hey Michael do u know when exactly is Roger Howarth first episode airing. Let’s hope Tea stays for a while longer and finds out Victor is alive and let Todd Go

Not excited at all about Tea coming to GH. I didn’t like the character much on OLTL, I think I’ll like her even less on GH where women are written much more poorly.

give her a chance.. i understand if you never watched OLTL… but she is truly an amazing actress.

Amen to that! When names of OLTL were characters being released I was praying Tea would be one of them. She’s such a great actress, and Todd needs her in his court (no pun intended),

I watched OLTL for many years and was never a fan of Tea. I find her a very abrasive character.

As much as I loved OLTL, it’s not a good idea to “flood” GH with OLTL actors/characters although I’d love to see Tea mix it up with Alexis in the courtroom. Much more interested in seeing more of the original GH actors come back, like where’s Bobbi Spencer been hiding? Also, let’s see more Quartemaine’s (those who are left that is).

The idiots at ABC are trying to make up for the big mistake they made by cancelling the best soap, OLTL! But this isn’t good enough! BRING IT BACK!

GO TEA!!!!! ME ALEGRO MUCHISIMO♥

thumbs up!

How about – none of the above? Short visit and then back to Llanview, please. If there MUST be a love interest – not Todd, never, never, never. Their two marriages were pretty much love – and sex – free, so now is NOT the time to try and make them a pair. I’d rather see KDP come back and fight through the differences to get back to Todd.

Totally agree.

When I heard the news of Florencia Lozano’s return as Tea Delgado, I beamed of joy! Whatever her story line weaves into it’s sure to be an intriguing one! I can imagine with her wit and feistyness, her battle the courts with Alexis! Battling it out with Todd, of course. Supporting her girl Starr (You know she loves her Estrella). And could she be mixing it up any leading gems, I mean men? Maybe John McBain? And the obvious…Sonny Corinthos! Welcome Florencia, the arrival of Tea Delgado will keep us glued to our screens! Sigh..GH has got me smitten!

GH is getting good and now with Tea coming into the mix it’s bound to get spicy!

Oh yeah,cant wait.

I know she was married to Sonny!!!!!! Enough this is getting over the top & no offense to the actress! Is this short term or contract?

who was married to sonny??

Yippee!

She can only be with Victor! The End.

Agreed! VnT are soulmates <3 Can't wait for them and their baby to be reunited 🙂

I’m thrilled Tea is on from OLTL. I’m hoping that they bring Trevor St. John into the mix. Those two were fun to watch on OLTL.

If I were a GH fan all this time I’d be pissed too that OLTL is like taking over.

Yep. I’m not quite to the pissed level yet, but if they bring one more OLTL character over I will be.

Just remember, these OLTL characters may actually save your show from cancellation.

I agree with comment on 3/11 at 9:19am..

OLTL actors are saving GH! you are getting some amazing actors! ROGER AND JOHN MCBAIN! NICE EYE CANDY! and excellent actors!
Keep it up GH!

I am a general hospital fan for 49 years and I love all the one life to live cross overs ,not any different then newbes showing up ,there just the best from another soap keeping there same characters names,so what.the best soap that abc/disney never should have canned ,and abc knows it,thats why THEY are letting it happen.My friends from landview are mixing in well with my friends from port charles.Its must see tv and the one life to live fans well help with the ratings If the general hospital fans are pissed I dont get it they hate a few crossovers but were ok with the abusive mob stories that took over port charles for a very long time.Now that makes no sense.

I’m optimistic about the possible storylines this could open. I’d be up for the Tea and Sonny pairing. Anything is better than the dreadful Sonny/Kate/Connie mess.

I love Florenzia and Tea. I would like to see Trevor St. John and Tea together.

i’ve been a GH fan all my life and i’m not paranoid about the oltl invasion mainly because its been balanced by the returns of old faves like anna, heather, felicia, robert and holly, and believe me with the old regime we would have never seen that many old fave return around the same time, so you know what, if they want to bring in a few oltl faves then i’m all for it, and i’m looking foward to Florenzia being in the mix, and yes, I hope she and sonny interact and team up to destroy Todd whom Tea hates. This is all so exciting !

NOT sonny, NOT todd — only victor jr. seriously, OLTL history can’t be disregarded in port charles! todd without blair??!! tea without victor jr?!?! john mcbain without natalie??!! i’m not saying all these actors need to come to port charles, but their long histories cannot be wiped away. i hope ron carlivati, as former OLTL head writer, will feel the same!

I agree. I couldn’t respect the character of Tea if she slept with either Sonny or Todd. It would be disgusting, especially when she is supposedly pregnant with Victor’s baby. If you destroy a character’s history, what’s the point of bringing her to GH? Tea is her own woman. She doesn’t want just any man; she loves Victor.

Agree with you both and hope RC and FV stay true to the characters!

I am so pleased. Hopefully Blair, Victor and Natalie won’t be too far behind.

if natalie does come it won’t be melissa archer, she said she wants out of daytime…………

Natalie needs to be kept far away from JMB.

john mcbain is too good fro natalie – leave her where she is………

I like J. McBain with Natalie…I alway’s have………………..They belong together ..they have baby Liam……………..They are a family now……..

I thought FV/RC were hired to cut costs, not to increase them.

YES!!! Love it!!! Welcome Florenzia!!! Can’t wait!

I hope they don’t pair her with Sonny. While Tea getting involved with Todd Manning wasn’t the smartest idea (no woman should be involved with him, he’s a nut 🙂 ), I can’t see Tea getting involved with a man like Sonny – a mobster. I just can’t picture it. What about Mac? He’s not getting any love from Alexis and he really needs a good stroryline.

I can’t believe this… We already have Alexis and Diane, we don’t need another female lawyer… while Blair sits and waits to be asked… If anyone needs a contract, its BLAIR…

Nobody ever said this was a contract part. I’d bet Tea is just going to be a short run like Blair was to bring Todd onto the canvas.

i hear you but where is diane these days???

She’s completing ‘True Blood’ and she will be back at least bring a male lawyer… I like Tea the character, dont get 8 twisted… but Blair wrote on her blog that they did not ask her for a contract or recurring…

SO thrilled, excited, elated, joyful, and just plain HAPPY to see this news! Florenica is an IMMENSE talent, one of the best actors in daytime and Tea Delgado is an incredible character. This will do nothing but help General Hospital! And for my fellow Victor and Tea fans, lets keep the hope alive that these soulmates will get to reunite soon! I feel like TSJ’s arrival will be the next announcement 😉 As for the Sonny/Tea thing, absolutely not. First off, Sonny has enough women drama. Second, Tea would not be that narrow minded, and third, there is only one man for Tea and his name is Victor Jr. 😉 However, I am extremely interested to see her and Maurice Benard go toe-to-toe. I also hope this means that Nancy Lee Grahn and her will be sharing scenes 🙂

Well They shouldn’t have cancelled one life to live then turn around and try to turn general hospital into it pisses me off!

Ethel I was making a joke about the actress being brought over! Everybody else has been made to have a connection to the mobster. It was a sarcastic joke that they were going to pull that out of their hat. I was just being funny it was news to me John McBain ever had a long lost sister. So it would not surprise me if they make up something about Tea knowing him before. It was a joke!!!!!

i thought you knew something i didn’t…………lol
and it was news to everybody else that john had a sister – all we knew about was his brother michael……….

Has Tea had the Baby yet? Will the baby be with her?

good question – i don’t think they are bringing any little kids to gh – look what they did to star’s baby…………..

What I want to know is – will Tea arrive in PC pregnant or will she have already had the baby..if so will she bring baby to PC with her.

….and please don’t have her hook up with Todd.
He belongs with Blair – even if Blair doesn’t come to Port Charles.

…..and Tea belongs with Victor – so hopefully TPTB will find a way to weave that revelation (into the GH fabric) that Victor is indeed -ALIVE.

YAY!

I think Tea will be an awesome addition to GH! Can’t wait to see her again! Now, it’s time to bring Victor jr back also! There is so much that can be written regarding the two Todds. They can work on their rivalry, they can explore teaming up to get Sonny. Trevor St. John was amazing as Todd all those years, so just imagine Sonny dealing with Todd x 2! And of course Blair needs to be there, to balance it all out. There are so many possible stories using those characters, the options are almost endless!

hello i have breaking news general hospital just got renewed. the revolution is cancelled. great news we can breath a little easier today. my scoop is from entertainment weekly.

yes we won that battle but the war is still on – we have got to work on the ratings now so we don’t have a repeat of this nonsense next year

I was so happy when I read the story on my news feed on facebook this morning that they’re bringing my baby to Port Chuck, word to the wise, do not mess with Tea’ you hear me Carly! this girl will slap you silly. I’m also happy that ABC decided to cancel the Revolting and renew GH to see it’s 50th anniversary. ABC has made me a happy guy (sigh!) now if they’ed only bring AMC and OLTL back and admit they made a very big mistake.

Im with you jayinnj,no one messes with tea,happy that general hospital has been saved and we still want all my children and One life to live back.Hopefully gh stays for another 49 years.How ever I will continue to boycott abc until the return of amc&oltl and they are put back where they belong.

So looks like GH has “One more Life to Live”. Sorry couldn’t help myself. Why so tentative? Year to year now? Anyway, glass half full- Congrats GH, the fans can kick a** when it comes to their stories. I wish ABC would come to their senses and bring back the other 2 soaps, like Forbes comparing the new Daytime tv to the new Coke era. IT’s failling…it sucks!!!

Emily, I like it,General hospital has “one more life to live” Thats good.

Good News, but what about Kassie DePaiva?

Just read that ABC will put GMA-PM in the 2pm time slot until Katie’s show premires in September. ABC will then move GH to 2pm and Katie will be at 3pm. I’m all down with GH being put at the 2pm time slot, I just hope ABC doesn’t screw this up until I see it ,then and only then I’ll believe it.

I can’t wait to see Tea in Port Charles … she was one of the great ones from OLTL. I honestly thought she would be nominated for an Emmy this year; but was not on the list. Her love/hate history with Todd will want GH fans begging for more. It does not matter to me who she is paired with; her presence is enough.

I cant wait till tea shows up in port charles ,this girl can make things get very interesting ,hope she turns up in the court room ,seriously she can kick diane and alexis ass .So, when the 3 of these ladies get together its going to get good and I do hope they will have a lot of courtroom drama and one by one we get rid of the mob and get sonny,jason,anthony,and johnny a real job,Of course they are not going to jail.

Where is Natalie, (Melissa Archer)? She should be there with John. Does anyone know if they are bringing her on at all??

Love that Tea will be on GH but I doubt her & Sonny will be having a love connection in the future. Her heart belongs to Victor. Besides Sonny & Kate are amazing together!

The last thing I want to see is tea with sonny,hopefully victor will be found and they can be together before the baby is born.

So excited about Tea coming to Port Charles!! Hope Blair & Victor Jr. join her, and they all get contracts. OLTL should NEVER have been cancelled!!!!

Me to,I am counting the days they say may 7th ,we have one more week to go .Cant wait to see her in the court room again,and I agree with you One life to live should never have been canceled.

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.

Check out the video featuring Nancy’s friends and co-stars below.  Now let us know, your thought son the line-up for the benefit and helping raise awareness and funds for ALS research via the comment section.

‘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.
