GENERAL HOSPITAL: Kristina Opens Up About Her Sexuality!
Courtesy/ABC
Last week on Friday’s General Hospital, Kristina (Lexi Ainsworth) finally revealed her thoughts on where she is at with her sexuality in a frank conversation with her sister Molly (Hayley Pullos).
It begins when Molly questions Kritina as to when she was planning on telling her parents that she’s gay. Kristina says she is actually confused and doesn’t know if she is gay, but that she is questioning her sexuality. She even discusses her bad relationships with her past boyfriends, when it is brought up by Molly. Kristina thinks she is bisexual, but she worries what Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) and Sonny (Maurice Benard) will think if they were to find out. Later, Molly asked Kristina to tell her more about her feelings for Parker (Ashley Jones). It was clear she is smitten with her professor! In addition on last Thursday’s episode, Kristina had finally admitted to her parents what happened at college, and how she failed her class and then was suspended, because she came on her professor.
In tears, she says it was a stupid stupid mistake. Sonny does not left her off the hook so easily, and admits he’s disappointed in her, because of the opportunity they gave her, but that he will ensure she gets back into school in the fall. However, Kristina doesn’t want to go back admitting she feels lost, and she doesn’t know who she, or where she’s headed. And fast forward to Friday’s episode, Sonny had Max investigating the professor Kristina became involved with thinking it’s a man. Sonny wants Max to send the guy a message. He has no idea that Parker is a woman.
In the latest edition of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Lexi Ainsworth related her thoughts on Kristina questioning her sexuality: “General Hospital has always been really great about touching on subjects like this, socially revelant issues, and this is a huge one. Everyone is talking right now about sexuality being fluid, and there are many people who have come out and said that they’re not just attracted to one sex: they’re attracted to who they’re attracted to, whether it be a man, woman, transgender. It doesn’t matter: love is a universal thing.”
So, do you hope GH makes Kristina bisexual? Do you hope she will turn out to be gay? Do you hope the show explores Parker and Kristina’s relationship? What did you think of the scenes between Kristina and Molly, and Kristina and Sonny and Alexis on last week’s GH? Share your thoughts in the comment section below?

GENERAL HOSPITAL: Helena, Jennifer Smith & The Ice Princess: What Did You Think of Luke Spencer’s Memorial?
Friday’s episode of General Hospital brought the highly-anticipated story around the apparent death of Port Charles iconic, Luke Spencer (Tony Geary), although many fans, and even some of the cast of the show, are not sold that Luke is “dead” dead.
During the show, characters spoke of some of the history of Luke in Port Charles, most especially Luke’s sister, Bobbie played by Jackie Zeman. Throughout the years, Zeman is at her best when she is given material through the writing of the show to connect to the history of Luke and Bobbie. She did so when Bobbie was remembering how Luke came to Port Charles to help her break up Scotty and Laura, in a discussion with her daughter, Carly (Laura Wright).

As everyone is gathering at the Haunted Star to pay their respects to Luke, Curtis (Donnell Turner) arrives to support Laura (Genie Francis), Felicia (Kristina Wagner) and Anna (Finola Hughes) arrive together, Nikolas (Marcus Coloma) and Ava (Maura West), as well as Spencer (Nicholas Alexander Chavez also show up. It is through Nikolas’ conversation with Laura that we learn why Luke’s sons, Ethan and Lucky, can’t make the funeral and, of course, we know why Luke’s daughter Lulu can’t make it because she is in a coma!
Victor (Charles Shaughnessy) shows up and snipes at everyone and then leaves. Tracy (Jane Elliot), who has arranged the memorial, is with an urn supposedly filled with Luke’s ashes and Alexis (Nancy Lee Grahn) finds her on the deck of the Haunted Star and talks her into giving her planned eulogy.

Meanwhile, Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) finds his dad, Sonny (Maurice Benard) drinking at Charlie’s, and later Scott (Kin Shriner) and Robert (Tristan Rogers) stop in and heated words are exchanged between Sonny and Scott. Victor shows up and instead of Scott and Sonny pummeling each other, they get into a fight against Victor.

As Scott and Robert are about to be on their way to the Haunted Star, Scott stays behind because of his past with Luke. Then, Sonny tried to patch things up with Carly before they head to the memorial.
Back on the yacht, Anna and Felicia find a note and a flash drive, after hearing a commotion on the yacht. When the note says “play me”, none other than Helena Cassadine (Constance Towers) addresses Luke’s friends and family from apparently the great beyond. As Helena spews her venom against Luke, Laura has enough and pulls the plug on Helena’s video speech. Tracy looks concerned, like she may want to hear whatever else Helena had to say.

Next, Tracy does her best in short order to eulogize Luke. That is juxtaposed with Scott trashing Luke. Later, by herself on the deck, Tracy spreads Luke’s ashes over the waters of Port Charles. Back on the pier, Scott relishes Luke being gone, and that he is still standing saying, “You lose you son of a bitch!” Just then Luke’s ashes blow in into his face. When Bobbie arrives, and see Scott full of ashes, she asks what happened. Scott says, “I caught the bouquet,” an obvious nod to the Luke and Laura wedding of the past, where Scott returned at their wedding and caught the wedding bouquet.

Back on the Haunted Star, Tracy then has a gift in hand for Laura, but she tells Tracy if that’s the Ice Princess she does not want anything to do with it, and tells Tracy to keep it. Spencer sees this go down and his interest on the diamond is instantly piqued.
Back at Charlie’s bar, Victor has an ominous toast to Luke saying, “The good people of your fair city are in for a big surprise!”
At the Haunted Star, dressed in black with black veil, Jennifer Smith reveals herself to a shocked Laura.
So, what did you think of Luke’s memorial episode? Favorite parts of it? Least favorite? Share your thoughts in the comment section. But first, check out Helena’s videotaped speech and Tracy’s eulogy to Luke below.

I do not mind about Kristina opening up about her sexuality, I do mind how it is done.. There is no solid drama, no intense moments, no gripping story, it is lame. It is a huge part of a person’s life for her/him to find their true selves and their struggle getting to that point.. The story is absent of the journey.. It is rushed, put together as a show piece and not a stable. GH is LAME .. the horrible breastfeeding story is an embarrassment to people’s intelligence / lame the Caisimon story is either a very lame comedy… Read more »
I agree with you 100%. Everyone couldn’t wait to get rid of Carlivati but they made a huge mistake. At least Carlivati kept it interesting and you could see that everything was headed somewhere. They should have just given him a co-writer to ground his stories a bit more, because, towards the end, they were getting a bit bizarre. But there is nothing worse in my mind, then these stories that seem to be going nowhere because the writers haven’t figured out what they want to do. There is character assassination left and right. Is Julian good or bad? We… Read more »
Hi su0000 Oh my gosh, I’m in total agreement with you on every point you made!!!! haha ha #GHISLAME GH is always lame. I have it playing in the background, and these days, I rarely will look up and watch it…I listen to it like it’s radio. So many show piece events, Morgan’s bipolar, Tracey and her medical issue, Nathan and this Claudette chick, what the hell….where’s the real drama?!?! What happened to GH, you are so right, what do you call them, the Queens of Snooze? GH definitely needs fresh and younger writers, new blood, not old daytime blood.… Read more »
Jeremy, can’t believe that I am in agreement with su0000 again, for the SECOND time (breathe again, Nancy!–lol) on almost all of her points.
Agreed, Jeremy…you always make good points.
I think that Claudette ( I knew before Claudette was personified), will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. She will materialize in PC and that will be he end of Nathan and Maxie. There is a little order in this chaos…LOL.
I knew since the ‘glove’ in the tux incident that Maxie and Nathan were headed downhill. TPTB do not want Nathan and Maxie together anymore.
Let’s not even talk about Morgan. Ugh!!
New blood?? Oh, boy, Jeremy…careful now. You will be called an ageist. LOL.
Then why don’t you guys post on the Days board? GH is not lame, i dont waiste time watching lame shows and if you are guys get so excited about it that you are posting on the GH board; they are doing something right.
@ CeeCee, yes, I do realize my wording wasn’t exactly what I was attempting to say. I suppose what I meant to say was that these four remaining soaps, and for me as a view, I watch DAYS and listen/watch GH, new writers to daytime should be considered, we see recycled stories over and over and over from the ‘seasoned’ daytime writers. Why not allow, any NEW writers to get in there and give us something new to talk about, new adventures, new mysteries, GH is lacking in adventure and mystery. Helena’s reading of the will, what a joke that… Read more »
My dearest Jeremy. Again, my attempt at sarcasm failed miserably. LOL. I agree with you about this, but in past posts, each time su, I or anyone else even mentioned the word, ‘ young ‘ or ‘new’, we were labeled ageists. I cannot blame the fans, i do understand thrir devotion to the vets. But, it is a vicious circle….there needs to always be room for younger actors. Sadly, for Days, some of the youg ‘gang’ are failing ….however, they must start somewhere. Trust me, my friend. I found nothing wrong with your writing. I enjoy reading your comments immensely.… Read more »
You go, girl, SuzieQ. Love your post. What TPTB are doing is beating around the bush. Make her gay, already!!!! I think Kristina is old enough to know herself….this vacillation is not doing it for me. I think she just worries about how her parents will handle the fact that she is gay; or what her friends will think, and/or eill they drop her as a friend. I do not like the lingering of “she MAY be gay”. I could be wrong, I do not know. But, two of my very best friends are gay. These guys have known how… Read more »
Wow: should read, will, different, suppose….
Suzy, your description is spot on BUT it sounds a lot like RC’s work. He would write in Tweets. Seriously, he would drop a bomb with no warning and no follow-up and thats what your accusing the women writers of doing with Kristina. I think that story and Anna’s are the two best right now.
I, like; 1. Kristina is gay 2. Tracy and her mind over matter 3. Anna started with so much celebrate… and argh! it’s still Finola Hughes intriguing; Griffin Munro… since the writing is so discombobulated… GH can make Griffin Anna’s son and/or Nephew I still want to know ; who’s Claudette ???? how long is Kiki going to rehabilitate… a stronger woman without the Corinthos YES! Curtis is helping investigate (Julian) and the saboteur of Crimson wish listing Carlos and Sabrina return with child… happy and ready to REEL Brad and Lucas – are seen out and about as a… Read more »

PS : I still like Mayor Lomax… hope she’s back more often
ITA Su, I haven’t watched in over a month, and I haven’t read anything about #GH that makes me want to come back.
You haven’t missed much..
GH is like a quickly tossed salad- all mixed up but with only the lettuce ..
There is no main/solid anything it’s just a mess of go nowhere stories..
((I fear for GH if this continues ))
It’s like Su000 through the looking glass.
I agree with her now about GH but disagreed with her when she was the pom pom girl for Ron and GH.
I agree with Tom’s point.
@su0000.
Oh, Lord, you crack me up. This visual is your best one, yet….a tossed salad with only lettuce. Good one….great way of describing boring.
I must say, though….GH is not boring me too much, yet. I am looking forward to a few plots.
I agree. The Crimson story and the breastfeeding kind of idiotic- I don’t care if Kristina is gay bi or straight. I miss Ron Carlivati’s writing and when they canned him they said he was doing other projects- what projects- Ron, where are you and when can we hear from you? Why is there no money in budgets so we can’t have on-location and regulars get bumped to recurring- I mean, hello, the number of commercials has steadily increased over the years. I would pay for Netflix of Hulu or whatever if they could come up with a good soap.… Read more »
@su….”A tossed salad with only lettuce?” You just described Roxy’s meal of choice!
Her sexuality is probably fluid because ABC wants to test the waters, get a sense how viewers are going to react– if positive, Kristina will be gay; if negative she will figure out she is straight after all. Making the character sexuality fluid sounds progressive on the surface of it, but in the end they might be just covering their butts in case there is a homophobic backlash at making a legacy character homosexual– making her fluid gives them a way out that doesn’t involving killing the character off like Days did when they lost their nerve to support a… Read more »
Love this reasoning, Mary….very sound. Is Kristina gay,mstraight, or bi….dense on the viewers’ reception. So en pointe.
I believe the same thing will happen to Paul on Days. Considering how Will Horton’s gay character went ‘down’ (pun intended), TPTB do not want the same backlash from fans. So, they will ‘straighten’ Paul out. Bunch of hypocrites, Mary.
Smart post, Mary.
Exactly, Liz. We know they exist; but will the network be ok with it, as you stated.
I do believe it is exactly as you describe it.
I know that Mary SF would not make such a statement without thought. She knows exactly what she’s talking about. And, we are in agreement.
Brad and Lucas kiss. That didnt cause any stir.
And it was just a cardboard kiss–no drama, no real story–the state of GH, unfortunately. We don’t care about any of these characters because we don’t “know” them.
Your theory doesn’t hold any water. GH already has 3 openly gay characters, 1 of which is a legacy character (Lucas). Sure, they only get a fraction of the screentime as other characters, but they still exist!
Having token gay characters two of which are merely recurring and not woven into the fabric of the history of the show is not the same thing as making a legacy character from a major family openly gay and having that story front burner and permanent. Yes Lucas is a legacy character and is gay, but after his coming out story he was written off the show and only came back recently and right now he might as well be a priest because after Ron left any or all realistic depictions of a gay sex life went out the window.… Read more »
I can’t “see” them!
Mary’s theory is very sound, Gh 1000. We are talking about a completely different person here, different gender, different personality. Kristina as gay, or bi is a new concept for fans….having known her forever as being into boys/men. We are not in THE MIDDLE AGES here…we are aware they exist. However, as Mary, i do believe TPTB have their BIG BROTHER eye opened wide. ‘They’ do want to test the waters….’they’ do want to see if the fans will conform or condone. It never is as cut and dry as you think. And, do not ever ridicule/underestimate another’s post. State… Read more »
I meant condemn, not condone.
Just because they exist doesn’t mean that ABC is 100% on board. I bet every time there’s a gay kiss, wedding or whatever the comment line goes nuts. Everything they’ve been doing lately is pandering to the few vocal viewers so I don’t doubt the testing the waters theory.
ABC, across the board and compared to NBC and CBS, is very progressive when it comes to LGBT visibility. There is LGBT talent on the news and the talk shows, there are LGBT characters on GH and in their primetime programming. Why would the execs at ABC hestitate to show a bisexual character?
Is that why Days killed off Will?….because the soap is so progressive? The only gay character left is Paul, whom I believe, will be ‘ungayed’. At least, GH has an on-going romance between Brad and Lucas. How long this lasts remains to be seen. They could break up as any other couple. Days completely disintegrated all gay characters. Paul only showed up, recently. It was ‘assumed’ he was around. Besides, you said the theory of Mary’s ‘testing the waters’, held no water. But, now you agree. I am glad you see this now. I do agree with you about the… Read more »
Meh… they are playing it so safe… on all outlets student/teacher crush Love “is” a universal thing Fluid : never heard this term before… used to describe something that can change easily or that changes often so.. this certainly let’s Lexie and the production “value” off the hook… should an uproar.. commotion rally I DO, however, do not mind… Love is a universal thing… which I appreciate coming from the younger generations… “Thank You” which is simply putting any and all sexual attraction… together.. and… whatever floats your boat… YES ! I laud this… because the (older) MEN in office… Read more »
Great post, Patrick. As a gay man, yourself, I do appreciate your input. Beside the point that each is an individual.
My point is that this storyline just got started. It’s too early to make judgements on how well the story is going to play out. Maybe they are testing the waters out, Kristina’s character has never been fleshed out anyway (semi-spoiled mob princess isn’t very deep). Why not take a breath and see if the the scripts, the acting, and the chemistry can create a good story?
I really like that they are exploring Kristina’s gender fluidity. I just wish it were with a peer and not a professor. They are introducing a power dynamic that is sometimes abused on college campuses. Plus Parker is a married women which makes Kristina a potential home wrecker on top of everything else. I would have liked it better if Kristina found herself attracted to someone in PC closer to her age. Valerie perhaps?
Excellent noticing the power dynamic that is abused on college campuses, workplace, politics, you name it!!!
This is a good point. Valerie could have a fluid sexualty too, hec im starting to feel fluid haha
And in what was otherwise a good storyline, there was the preposterous idea that Max could get from PC to Middletown and immediately dig up info on Molly all within what must have been an hour! Kristina saw Sonny should not have confronted Kristina until the next day at least. It’s just bad storytelling.
Meant to say Kristina not Molly!
And speaking of Molly, why did she have to sleep with her boyfriend–in such an “off-hand” way, off-camera (!)–a big “meh”!
@ Nancy, maybe Molly didn’t sleep with TJ, maybe she said she did because of the conversation with Kristina beforehand, maybe Molly mislead everyone, to conform and be like everyone – which would be out of character for Molly to do, but hey, it’s possible, if we didn’t SEE that scene happen, it’s a possibility that Molly and TJ didn’t go all the way. If Molly & TJ did have sex, I believe after the few years dating and being together, the show would have shown bits and pieces to show the maturity levels of both characters and the evolution… Read more »
I agree she only did it to show a point that she was not gay but it did not work at all beacuse we did not get to see them do it at all but when they tired to do it before at the hotel room and mom find out and stop it from going on at all. so I think her idea was not to tall any one, but the way the sisters find out should have not been a surprise at all the fact that molly tired to help Kristina and Kristina sad no to her the first… Read more »
Its the Bewitched syndrome!
Lol Timmmbo. Too funny.
@nancy dillingham. Well, nancy…don’t you know? Molly wanted to gift her mother on her wedding day…” Oh, mommy. I lost my virginity…fresh apple off your tree”.
Well, at least it wasn’t in the back seat of a car for Molly….or was it?
I have no problem if she is straight, gay or bi…my problem with GH is these stories are not well connected to other stories or characters…it seems the writers have trouble connecting dots and they fall all over the place…instead of connecting Kristina to a current cast member like Kiki they just add another character to the show like Parker-their little affair is off camera…thats how they seem to write much of this show…instead of working in the characters they have they just add someone new to move their story…like Maxie and Nathan-instead of having maybe Valerie as his ex… Read more »
I totally forgot about her and now vaguely remember a pretty blonde little girl from years ago – who was her mother and where did she go? What about Kevin Collins is he 86’d as well? I would be very much in favor of a Dallas inspired it was all a dream and revive AJ Quatermaine, Connie Falconari- love love her and not as the perennial victim Sage- also Alan Qartermaine, Helena, Tony and bring back Johnny from prison and way more Kathleen Gatti -fire her from the hospital and turn her back into pure evil genius.
True, jimh, but that is the nature of this soap, none more so than when Ron C. was in charge of the stories. I had hoped that there would be a tendency away from that habit with a new writing team, but there is still too much heresay, off-camera action going on. Having said that, am I the only one who thinks that Parker’s main squeeze should have been Lomax? What a delicious dilemma that would have created with the animosity already stirred by Alexis and her legal posturings against the mayor. Can you just imagine how furious she would… Read more »
Parker and Lomax…i would have loved that…you should be a story consultant for GH.
I do love the way you think, Shay!!!! Your table is set, Shay, abounding with mouthwatering delicacies….just a matter of choosing the juiciest pickings.
Thank you, CeeCeeGirl! There’s always a bountiful banquet just waiting to be served in my mind….it’s the preparation and presentation that provides the problems when it comes to making the cut on the MF menu!!!! LOL….
Parker would have had to have been blind! And speaking of the lovely mayor of PC, where in the hell would a mayor behave like that especially to another women! The story sucks breast milk! [Sorry!]

Personally, I found the scene with Kristina talking to Lucas and Brad about what is like for them coming out gay a more poignant scene.
Hard to develop a story when they only cover it 1x every 3 weeks! If you are going to do a story like this then dive in (no pun) or don’t do it at all. It is very frustrsting @ GH when they write half-assed stories while other characters are seen almost daily; Sam/Jason/Liz overstayed its welcome! I would love to see this storyline front snd center or at least give It more airtime.
I applaud our GH writers for writing a story, one that doesnt get told everyday. I like how Kristina openly admits she is confused about how she feels and her younger sister is there to reason with her. I like how this story is being treated as a social issue where one could and does ask him or herself, am I gay or was it a passing faze? Often times the debate is, are we born gay or is it a lifestyle you adapt to. I dont know that answer. Some people who are gay know it VERY early on… Read more »
Great post, Timmm. Your points do give the viewer pause….think about Kristina’s possible motives of not having come out sooner.
I tried touching upon it. But, you make so much more sense, Timmmy.
No way would I want to see Kristina written as bisexual—that will only send out the message to viewers that she doesn’t really know what she wants and that is unhealthy. If they make her out to be gay, that’s great. If they choose to go in another direction, I will be fine with that too but not exploring bisexuality. That one I wouldn’t buy.
Pardon the pun.
I don’t see why being bisexual or not or whatever a person is has anything to do with soap drama..
It is so commonplace that nobody is shocked by it..
The younger generation has no problems with any of it, it is of their world..
Older people my see a story about it as being sensational, but really much to do about nothing in this 21st century..
there are many urgent happenings in our world to take preference over someone’s sexual preference, that even bringing upfront is totally oldfashioned lame.
furthermore–
I liked the way RC portrayed Brad, Felix, Lucas as normal everyday guys living their lives having fun romping in bed or shower, watching the Golden Girls,having love problems, and simply living their lives as all of do.. No big hoopla made of made it.
So far, I find the story rather boring, but it is creating an interesting convo here
I agree to some point but in real life pepole do not talk about it much I do not no way there are pepole getting bulled and look how the laws have changed there are weddings for gay pepole now and their is a lot of topics we do not talk about that we should talk about but that we do not here about at all but it is good to see a gay story and now we should talk more about transgenders they’er now coming in to soaps and it was a good idea and we should talk more… Read more »
People don’t identify as bisexual because they “don’t know” or “can’t decide” what they want. Bisexuals aren’t indecisive, they’re attracted to both sexes!
Bisexuality isn’t “unhealthy”
Whatever the outcome of this story, Lexi has made me a believer in how well she is playing Kristina. I wasn’t overly impressed when she came back to PC, but she has risen to the occasion in this emotional role.
The whole story line is not going to work mainly because the actress is not capable of the acting chops it requires. I know a lot of people like Lexie, and I’m certain she’s a very nice person, but I have never been a fan of her as an actress capable of a meaty story line. In just this episode and the one before it, she stepped on another actors lines 3 times ( if you’re paying attention you can tell because they were still finishing their sentence while she was already talking, so it was very noticeable and distracting),… Read more »
Oh, thank you, clh! I totally agree with your assertions…..I was one of those not at all enthused to see this actress back in the role of Kristina! In addition to her shortcomings in the drama department, I just don’t find her one bit likeable in the role….the character comes across as mean, nasty, self-absorbed and hostile, often almost evil. There is nothing admirable or endearing about her to create any sort of feeling of interest or empathy where her situation is concerned, unlike say, with the previous example set with the beloved Lucas. Personally, I just want this character… Read more »
Yes, we discussed this before, Shaybelle.
We both agreed early on, you and I, the other actress was so much more affable. I loved ‘that’ Kristina.
Presently, this one has BRF. Her attitude gives off negative vibes; arrogant; snarling!!
The guilt trip Sonny laid on Kristina was laughable. I wanted Kristina to tell her father to get off his high horse and ask if “everything he’d done to make sure she went to a good school” included murdering AJ Quartermaine. Do I hope Kristina is gay or straight? That she has a relationship with Professor Parker? Does it matter? The gay characters they already have barely get any airtime the way it is so unless Kristina hooks up with a lesbian mobster she ain’t get any more screentime than Lucas and Brad. As for GENERAL HOSPITAL touching on relevant… Read more »
Kudos, Alan….well said.
Today’s breastfeeding scene was absolutely asinine.
Nina, Maxie, Carly, Alexis and Olivia all strip down to their bras tit flashing, really? that is more than lame.
It is also stupidly embarrassing for intelligent viewers to witness that tity display, sheesh
I’d bet we will never see the men flashing their dicks !! .
It wasn’t cute, not funny, not sexy, just embarrassingly stupid, sigh ..
It has to be one of the top five classless things I’ve ever witnessed on a soap!
hey Timmm..
I know!
what on earth is wrong with them/writers..
It was more than belittling to women, it was written for show, a titty flashing WTH!? gezz for stupid degrading stuff..
((trust me when I say– it was absolutely not even close to an RC ”WOW’ moment..
I am lost; having not a clue as to what in heck they were thing to write that lame stuff..
I hear you, Timmm, and considering all the tasteless things we endured during the Ron C. regime, that is saying SO much!
Way more cool and interesting and dramatic to have Monica dip in the ladypond. Meredith Baxter did and by the way she would be Excellent as Monica’s new galpal and I miss her on Y&R and still hoping she returns after nursing Kelly back to health. Perhaps part of the reason this story is so slow is the woman who plays the professor was given time off to have a baby and Valenti agreed??
Wow, Peggy……the fact that Kelly is alive did cross my mind. But, her mother taking care of her did not. I like the premise.
I would love it, and thought they opened the door when they said nobody on the ship died.Now that Phyllis and Billy and cozying up, Kelly couldn’t show up at a better time- although this all will delay until May sweeps I suppose. I am not buying Victor’s attorney determined to throw the case against him- I guess it is certainly feasible, I thought he was more principled and this makes him just another sleazy attorney so perhaps… Since Y&R is casting a female prison nurse I am guessing Victor is convicted and then he and the nurse carry on-… Read more »
I don’t see ABC as having a problem with gay stories or characters. Sam Champion, Robin Roberts, Modern Family, The Real O’Neals, they fired the Grey’s Anatomy actor for homophobic slurs- I think they are way ok with diversity and that is great. Now sink some more cash into the soap’s budget, return at least one more soap please, and we are good.
I would love that too, Peggy. No one on the ship died. Now, I remember. Jack also, does not have any memory of what happened. He just assumed he killed Kelly. Good one, Peggy. I like all your observations. Something really weird Phyllis said made me snicker. After macking out with Billy, hot and heavy, she said…” We need to stop, this is not us”. Really? That is exactly who they are!! Yuck!! As I said so many times before, I do not recognize this Phyllis, nor this Billy. Ahhhh, well !! I, too, am glad to see more of… Read more »
The effects of carbonic snow on the faces of female residents of a certain age in Port Charles? Is this another Cassadine curse? Let me just say that I hate Shawn, the pregnant girl on Y&R and I do not understand budget concerns take actors off contract then two days later they announce a new actress coming on board. Paul on Y&R has no Cassadine facial freeze and his colorist is excellent.
@Peggy.
LOL.
I know this is a GH site….but, Shawn is there for a reason. She may be INTO Nick, or she’s after money. Whatever it is, she is the to break up Sage and Nick, somehow.
Pal looks good…has been wearing a hair piece/ transplant for years.
The GH ladies; Finola, Genie, Michelle, Nancy, Laura, Jane, Kathleen…..they all look beautiful, naturally.
Paul, not Pal….there, not the….
GH (I forgot Lisa and Carolyn…beautiful ladies).
Lisa is gorgeous ….
Kristina has been offscreen for three years. Nobody really knows what she has been doing ever since she left. There is plenty of room in that long time span for the writing team to make this a beleivable twist. A lot of girls in her age range tend to go through sexual fluidity and just cause you thought you only liked boys in your teens doesn’t always mean you will feel the same when you become an adult. She could have been experimenting with her sexuality while she was away for these three years and finally felt something strong in… Read more »
Jay,agree with you!All My Children broke that ground with BAM!I think it will be a good story.Two really good actors!
Love to see where the Kristina and Parker storyline goes. These two could be another super couple of daytime, but might need to change to an older actress for Kristina. Lexi Ainsworth seems way too young for the professor. Where are the Otalia fans? Tired of only seeing the male gay storylines.
they should have fired the teacher or brought kristina mom and dad and told them what was going on not send a email throw the computer I think. but in real life it is been shown that teachers and school kids are like friends they are easy to talk to and say what is on your mined and when something bad happend you could till them it is just the age is not right but if they do bring Parker back I would not mined at all bye sabera
You writers are obviously not aware of this, but many of us would simply like to be able to watch a tv show and enjoy love relationships as they were naturally intended to be. Why do you think we want to see men kissing men, women kissing women. There are many people who feel that a person has the right to live as he chooses – however – that doesn’t mean that it has to continually be blast into our faces or into our homes. Come on- give me a break!
I might be in the minority but I thought two people in love was the way “love relationships were naturally intended to be.” I’m a gay man who has known he was gay since his teens so that is natural to me — Your argument that the GH gay relationships are “continually blasted into our faces” doesn’t really hold much water: Lucas and Brad are rarely on together and are basically celibate at this point and the current Kristina/Parker “story” has barely been featured until the past week. I can’t speak for other viewers but as far as I am… Read more »
No I hope she isn’t gay!!!!!!
I think molly should have stayed out of it and let Kristina do it her self I do not think it was molly place to say anything at all. I do like molly tj together she still should have stayed out of it and let Kristina dell with it her self I no molly was trying to help but if they do not want your help stay out of it and when they are ready thay will come to you I no she was doing the sister thing and then to have molly be told to stay out of it… Read more »
